A little from column A, a little from column B. If it's at a more light-hearted part in the game, I'm more likely to have them roll first and come up with silly results. If on the other hand it's a more serious part, I'd be more likely to roleplay first and roll second. Though in the case of...

I've ordered most of my books and a few other stuff from buy.com and never had a problem with them, so shrug. Also, buy.com also does the free shipping on orders $25+ with most books. Occasionally I can also find a better price at Overstock, even including the $1.40 S&H.

While I agree with Frank and Bastoche as far as RAW, I personally allow a character to draw their weapon as part of a charge action. Though I suppose if you didn't then it'd have the advantage of making Quick Draw a more attractive feat than it is. As far as Shadeus's question goes, I believe...

Looks like you haven't gotten any of the turn increasing items yet! :p (Unless they changed the rules on me since I've played it last)

I've always understood "precision damage" to mean "damage which is only done to creatures with vitals" -- such as sneak attack, extra damage from critical hits, and 3.0 ranger favored enemy damage. So I'd say the +1 damage applies to each shot in the Manyshot. As Hypersmurf mentioned, it's...

For the record, Eberron has only four new races: warforged (I'm certain everyone already knows about these guys by now considering all the discussion!), changelings, shifters, and kalashtar. As Teemu mentioned, no new subraces arguably besides the Umbragen, which is in Dragon (though... I...

That's been my line of thought for awhile now! The whole "false maturity among young people" thing doesn't really bother me though -- it's just something I see many people go through. Or at least, I went through. :)

Wow, I'm the only one who chose the last option! Though actually, I doubt so much that it's that they would never do something like that than I can't recall them doing something like that. Usually it's more that whatever the plot hook is has challenges in it that are geared toward the PCs'...

Just got done replaying Final Fantasy 7 for the millionth time in anticipation of Advent Children, and did a quick playthrough of Super Metroid. I recently just started on a playthrough of Metroid Fusion, but that's being mainly just a way to pass the time. I'm thinking of starting a...

I like having them in an organization together starting the campaign, with perhaps one PC who is a "newbie" who joins in the first session/adventure. I usually have them be their own relatively independent team, but even something like a militia can be good, or perhaps they could be a family...

I'm interested in checking it out, since I've had a campaign world concept in which magic's origins is very similar to incarnium is in this book. I personally just had it use Vancian magic with some flavor modifications, but it'd be nice if the system was better tailored toward my idea. Still...

Some off the top of my head: Grease Charm Person/Monster Suggestion Dominate Person/Monster Modify Memory (though it's not very helpful during battle) Forcecage Hypnotism Cause Fear/Fear Ray of Enfeeblement Entanglement Web Darkness (regular and deeper) Sleep Deep Slumber

I've started liking pepperoni more in the past few years, but my favorite topping would have to be ham/Canadian bacon. I'm rather picky though, and don't like cheddar, sausage, any vegetable (except perhaps mushrooms), or pineapple on it.

Since I play online, I haven't used much props. However in a very short-lived d20 Modern campaign what I did was create a simple website the PCs would get clues from, and give the URL to them during the adventure. I thought it was rather clever!

Ooo, just noticed this thread (don't stop by in this forum much). Originally bought it as HQ1 when I was a kid, and then much later bought the Anthology when I noticed it around. I love all the games, though QfG4 is quite likely my favorite. Top notch voice acting in that one -- really love...

Since they are anti-heroes, it might be fun running them in an evil-yet-somewhat-virtuous vs. a plain evil organization, such as Karranath/King Kaius versus the Emerald Claw, or if you own Sharn they could get involved in some of the clan wars there (though which one is the "good guys" -- if any...

I'm not that good with min/maxing, but just some general stuff. For one, if either of your clerics regularly casts Bless, ask them to stop that since both that and Inspire Courage gives morale bonuses (also keep in mind Inspire Courage is +1 to hit AND damage). Often times you can just...

It's rather rare, because my usual group usually tries to avoid AOOs like the plague. Usually when it does happen it's either because of a failed Tumble check, or even more rarely when it's we determine that the enemy just can't do that much damage. Personally though, I wouldn't mind playing a...

Personally I think it's important to consider that lawfulness require "lawfulness" to institutions they think are important, not all institutions. Often this is actual law, but it can also be something like a knight order, family, a code of ethics, or even an isolated, but clearly devoted and...

I find "sir" to be somewhat odd, but I've grown more used to it the more people have said it around me. I usually won't mind if someone calls me "dude" (supposing the setting isn't too formal), "man" is fine from anyone, and even "mate" would be fine -- though to be fair in American English it...
