Ah, it was back in January of 2001 (or so) and I was watching a 3e Play-By-IRC game some of my friends online were playing. After lots of "You should play!" I decided that hey, what the hell, I'll give this D&D thing a shot. They sent me a SRD and I read over it. I made C. Dekar, a naive NG...

Good call on the dazing thing, but I think dazing would apply to its immunity to mind-effecting effects (since Daze the spell is mind-effecting, though interestingly nothing is mentioned under "dazed" in the DMG).

The big thing I want to see is a Sarlona handbook for Eberron -- I need to know more!Other than that... nothing in particular comes to mind.

Pretty much the standard -- Cloak (or Vest) of Resistance, Ring of Protection, Amulet of Natural Armor (if the character isn't a monk, druid, or cleric). If there's a cleric we generally get a communal Cure Light Wounds wand. Then I get the standard stat boost item(s) item for the character...

Normally, they will only heal 50% from effects from the Healing subschool. If they take the feat Improved Fortification (which makes them immune to crits) or 3-4 levels of the Warforged Juggernaut prestige class (I forget how many, but this also gets immunity to crits), then they are completely...

Mmm, I'd let them stack, myself. From a "weapon" or not, a slam attack is still a natural attack. Though, as a natural attack it still couldn't be used as an iterative attack (but it could be used as a secondary at -5).

Supposing you're talking about the epic feat there's not much need -- Improved Heighten Spell just enhances the normal abilities of Heighten Spell (hence, Heighten Spell is improved).

Suppose I'll chime in with my D&D peeves: * Spell memorization - Not that big of a deal, but it can be a hassle at times. I probably wouldn't be arguing if D&D incorporated a system like AU's. * Massive damage - Fine in modern systems usually, but it's just something I don't like in D&D. At...

First to questions kinda go together -- I put up a website mainly as for easy-access to campaign information and other stuff. So far, it's got session logs (we play on IRC), a list of treasure by session (I Monty Haul so badly, but my players don't seem to mind), a list of significant NPCs...

I've found that I usually like my characters more when they're Good and not -- I've tried playing chars that are Neutral or just don't give a damn but I don't seem to enjoy them as much. I generally like happy-go-lucky chars much more than bitter or jaded ones. Though that said, I do have an...

I almost always singleclass, but it's not some conviction against multiclassing or PrCs, it's just that's how my characters almost always end up. Only real multiclassed char I had was Chance, a Cleric/Fighter to be Auspician (F&P), though I did consider having my ghostwise halfling bard dip...

I have a hard time with this too, since I really like most places in Eberron. A campaign centered in the Demon Wastes would certainly be interesting, or Q'Barra, or the Shadow Marches... but I probably gotta say Breland too since it's got Sharn, and with Sharn: City of Towers coming out soon...

Two times, but still very nice and cheesy if you're 1-leveling into barb. Dunno if I'd recommend it for a full barb though, but it couldn't hurt

No significant changes in 3.5 AFAIK, so nothing there will probably help you with the issue. If they beat the check, I would say something to the effect of "You feel the NPC is being dishonest to you." (This is different from lying: being dishonest may involve misleading the PCs with truths...

This thread is one of the best and cutest threads I've seen in a long time. Thanks guys for sharing all of your experiences! (And hopefully the last Startropics off-topic thing: that's your uncle in Ch6 who you had been searching for for the entire game previous. The "bananas in your ears"...

I wouldn't consider myself a collector, but I still hate marking up my books for a reason I'm not precisely sure of. I think it's just a form of perfectionism more than anything for me. If there was significant errata or 3.5 conversion to something I would be likely to use (and couldn't...

Man, too many come to mind. I think I'll list the ones that I haven't used and haven't gotten much real inspiration out of (even if I liked the book). Arcana Unearthed - Like the feats, absolutely adore the magic system, and the classes are alright, but besides giant I don't really like the...

If you really need to get them down and they have Average or lesser manuverability (and thus a minimum forward speed), trying using a method to stop forward movement. Hold Person, grappling, strategic use of nets (don't have to bother with proficiency, just accept the -4 -- it's only a touch)...

aexalon beat me to it. The other relevant passage is at the top of the MM on pg290: When you think about this, this method makes the most sense. Looking through the MM (particularly those with higher LA), monsters don't get bonus feats based on their LA (and some monsters don't even have a...
