When I play a highly intelligent character, I get a list of seldom-used words and use them. Look up all your spell names in Latin, or another “smart” sounding language, use that in their place. When you're a wizard and have particularly high intelligence, you run out of skills to put your points...

As You Like It ... If I recall, Ed Stark said 3.5 would be gearing towards how people really play D&D. In the games I've played in, the DMs have always given weapon proficencies in Dwarven Weapons free to any dwarf who is a fighter type dwarf. Heck, once they gave a dwarven bard profieceny in...

I love random stats. Rolling up random stats often serve to provide inspiration when assigning class, race, skills, etc. I understand that some people find the stat rolling can be "unfair" for those who have a stroke of luck with a few 18's and the poor fellow who ends up with 6's and a couple...

Darth Girth oh my ... Well, now I am burning the copies I have of my hamlet video as we speak. If your going to act like a uber dork ... do it with out the camera. Nice staff swinging though. LOL Gothmog ... Darth Girth he is :D

I can stand almost anything as long as it is tasteful, but for the most part, I have never expierenced anything close to BoVD or BoEP. It is mostly hitting on the bar wench and double entendre. As a DM, I like to keep this teen friendly. Mostly implied, nothing overtly graphic when it comes to...

Thanks for the replys guys... I've managed to goto all of those ... it just takes more gas that I'd like :) What can I say ... I'm cheap :P Erge

Much to my discontent, the Wizards of the Coast in Plaza Bonita went out of business.(the closest game store listed in the yellow pages). Even worse they had a big sale this weekend and I missed it (grrr). I was wondering if anyone knew of a particularly good store for D&D material in the El...

I have my good ol' Necromancer from 2E. He converted to 3E and multiclassed cleric and True Necromancer. He's currently level 25 and still puttering around the Realms, looking for things to kill and raise. I've been playing him since sixth grade ... so he's almost 6 yrs old now :P Erge

Whoot! I'll be going to Gen Con SoCal ... tho I might be in LA or SD depending on the time of year. Either at college or at home :P Erge

IMC I have normally only allow rogues to search for traps. Depending on the situation and type of trap, a character with craft (traps) or knowledge (Engineering) may also notice the trap. I dont think that going one way or the other will break the rogue class, but I do think that it should be...

It depends ... I definitely will buy it. I tend to buy things but not use the rules ... just steal flavor. The magic system looks interesting, as do the new classes. Is it coming out in hard back? Erge

Hey, a subject I can Chime in on IRC games are great. 1. <B>Ease of Finding Players:</B> People I've met on line have always had contacts that they know are good gamers. Its not difficult to find the cream of the crop gamers. 2. <B>Dice bots are cool:</B> The one I use (and the DMs of other...

uh ... try the Gust of Wind spell ... if you blow it arround enough, it'll hit the tower with sand and give it away. Erge

My Dwarven Wizard Druid Rodgar was out adventuring in the Cormyr Forest (IIRC) and ran into a village of Aarokora. The party was subsequently asked to rescue their young from a hag hiding in the woods. The party, with the aid of my Dwarven darkvision and light spells, were able to gain the hag's...

I'm a young gamer finishing up my Senior year and heading to Cal Poly Pomona. I have recieved very little in the way of ridicule or distaste for playing D&D. It seems that its older people who find D&D so abhorrent. Today, in a world of CRPGs and TCG, pen and paper games have not been total...

I have yet to burn out ... but I have had many minor burns ... almost every week. I play in two games (one on Friday nights and one on Sunday mornings). Then with another separate group, I DM on Saturdays. My came is completely homebrew, but I do get that burn out feeling on Sunday mornings...

Heh, dont forget to give obscure bonuses... Like the Libriam of Modern Magicial Ethics :) I'd also give a higher bonus on the more specific the book. A book on magic might give you a +1. While a book Conjuration for apprentices and mid level wizards would give a bonus to spellcraft checks...

When my characters cast spells, I tend to ignore the incantations, but rather focus on the somantic parts of the spells. Since I play on line, I write alot of my spell dicriptions down for copy/pasting... this one is a acid synergy lightning bolt from my Dwarven Wizard/Druid/Geomancer: --...

Kai Lord heh, I know a group of guys and girls who hold D&D games at round table ... lol, I dont think they'd hesitate to take Dragon 306 there :)

A word from the young... I found this month's Dragon cover to be well ... to be perfectly honest, nothing to yack about. I goto a school were the majority of magazines feature buxom women spread eagle all over chrome laden cars. Seeing a woman with a skull and bone brassiere on the cover of a...
