    Why a Sorcerer vs a Wizard?

    The pen and paper game is a whole other ball of wax. The pen and paper version of he wizard can get access to the quicken spell meta-magic feat and doesn't hace to use a full-round action to apply other meta-magic feats. The Arcane Preperation feat takes care of both of the above concerns, but...

    [Magazines] Dungeon or Dragon?

    My gaming group has gotten a lot of mileage out of my subscription to Dungeon. I've got aboout a 15 issues and we've probably played about 1.0-1.2 adventures out of each of them on average. Since I am both a DM and player, I don't read every single issue - I give some to the other DMs. There...

    King Obould Many-Arrows Invades!

    If I were a player this would bug me. Here's an answer - Obould is directing the operation from a dead magic area. He doesn't leave it ever. Therefore, magic can't find him, at least not directly. He sends out runners to give orders the old fashioned way or his clerics send orders via...

    To buy or not to buy the splattbooks

    Well, if you are already using Tome and Blood, then yes, it's worth buying. I like the suggestion of going to ebay or half.com. My group owns all of the splat books and Magic of Faerun. Here's a really quick run-down of how much use we get out of each. These are just my opinions. Tome and...

    King Obould Many-Arrows Invades!

    The Silver Marches has many powerful spellcasters so Obould won't make a move without finding some as well. Maybe a powerful half-orc cleric of Grummsh(sp?)? Maybe a grey dwarf outcast wizard? Maybe a fire giant sorcerer - mercenary? edit: The FRCS lists Obould as a 9th level orc. I'm...

    The poor, old, forgotten d12? (And d10.)

    Times are hard for me and mine. No one cares about poor little old me. I think I need to find a new line of work. Maybe I can be a blues singer? I wrote a song. Wanna hear it? Here it goes! No one uses me no more said, no one uses me no more put me in the bag, my numbers are sore no one...

    Starting a new game

    So you have a large group, with a variety of mostly well developed backgrounds and they need to all come together? I like the idea of a common enemy. There is some person or organization that is equally getting on everyone's nerves. Lets say its an minor crime lord and his gang but you can...

    Tell me about Icewind Dale II

    I just ordered it off half.com I've played (and loved) the first game. I know the second game has some 3.0 rules features. Tell me about your experiences with the game. Are there classes or races I should avoid? Bugs? Anything great or awful stand out in your mind? Thanks!

    Dungeon Design Help [ My players stay out ]

    The elves left a guardian to watch over the widget. The guardian might be a construct, an elemental, or some type of unique good undead. But since the elves thought "Well, we want to be able to get the widget back in 300 years" they would have left some mean of bypassing the guardian without...

    Using the Image Spells

    One thing my diviner does is cast a minor image of a human fighter in chainmail with a sword. The figment-fighter "leads" the party in the marching order. Badguys who ambush usually waste at least one shot that way and if its one big bad monster, they can blow a whole round. Another cool...

    Tips for Clerics

    Buy a wand of cure light wounds as soon as possible. It costs 750 gp and it will free up a lot of your spells for combat, divination, buffing spells and whatnot. Take a lot of ranks in concentration. In fact, max it out. Don't take a lot of ranks in healing - just a few will do. Consider...

    best free on-line adventures?

    Okay, NOT counting those available at WoTC [which are all very nice], what are the best online free adventures? I'm specifically interested in those written by fans, but if you know of any good ones by d20 publishers then list those too. Please include a link and a short (or long)...

    D&D 3.x Help me with my 3.5 ranger

    Well I already have a quiver of Ehlonna - found it randomly, believe it or not. Enchanting the quarterstaff with Shillelagh is an awesome idea. How much would that cost? Would you consider that to be a +1 or +2 modifier to cost? It seems comprable to a flaming or icy weapon - maybe a...

    D&D 3.x Help me with my 3.5 ranger

    Quarterstaff is a cool weapon for a ranger in my opinion too. Images of Robin Hood Fighting Little John and all that. And also Daffy the Duck vs. Porky the Pig. Somewhere around 10th level, I'm probably going to switch off to double-sword - but not until I can afford a nice magical one.

    I'm playing a half-elf!

    I like the concept of the half-elf. Lots of role-playing potential there. But it IS the weakest race there is. Finally, I just broke down and did it - I made a half-elf. I like the character a lot but she would be more pwerful as an elf or a human. Here's my question. By playing a...
