3.5 CW Ranged Pin feat. It'll stop them long enough for you catch up and club em.

Well, let's see, by the rules, a metropolis (the largest town generally) has a gp limit of 100,000 gp, has four main power centers, and the highest level 'Wizard' is 1d4+12 levels, at best, level 16... There is a chance of a 20th level rogue or fighter in the area at least (1d8+12). This is...

You'll find plenty of fond memories of 2e on these boards :). Just look at Planescape or Dark Sun threads. I think a large part of the problem is the problem that 2e doesn't benefit from as much nostalgia as OD&D + 1e, while it isn't the New Thing that 3.x serves now. 2e also had some...

Hmm, I'll have to retract my earlier statement then, the off-hand/handedness comment does in fact appear twice in the core books in 3.0 (Ambidexterity and the glossary). Something to put into house rules/clarifications for my campaign to simplify matters :). Thank you :).

Step 1) Buy a vault Step 2) Buy a lock, preferably an ORC-BRAND lock Step 3) Invest in peg-legs and parrots. Does your DM let you 'buy spell services'? If so, I'd probably suggest safeguarding at least half of your party's income for Resurrections.

The first boxed, for the flair and originality. A revision wasn't really necessary, more flipbooks like 'Beyond the Prism Pentad' could have handled the "Update the setting metaplot" stuff that folks wanted to do. I also resent the revision because I see as a step towards the Player Options...

Correct, except, you missed a footnote on the Concentrate table that makes them in agreement :). At least that's in the srd table.

More or less, no penalty here, but a slight clarification (personal opinion albiet, follows) I had thought that the handedness described in the Ambidexterity feat was mostly 'irrelevant' for combat unless you were fighting with two weapons; and that adventurers were equally proficent with...

By official rules, you're to follow WotC's say, regardless of the designer. Of course, official rules such as that really are only significantly important for RPGA. And following the 'designers intent' may be a good reason to justify a house rule. The designers are quite often out of the loop...

And those decisions were some of those turned some individuals away from athas.org. Not myself mind you, just one of the most common complaints I've seen. Although, I think it's mostly something that they don't care to do. Unless you're refering specifically to "Dead Worlds" (that aren't...

Intentional as far as I can tell, and for mostly your example given I believe. With the logic being that creatures with magic and epic DRs have them due to an inherit magical nature. While alignment DRs are due to an "inherit" alignment trait (such as Outsider from the Outer Planes). [ Add...

Hmm, I'd simply introduce an environment modifier to how 'dense'/hard the earth is if you want to adjust speed for realism. However, note for combat reasons, 5 feet is really the shortest distance a creature could 'move' without restricting burrow to a FRA (which is still 10 feet/rnd, but...

At least in 3.5 (SRD) this is not the case. The spell has no target, no does the spell include a "This spell functions like" line to assume that the target designation is attached to another spell. The same holds true for Ray of Enfeeblement both in the 3.0 PH and the 3.5 SRD as well (Well as...

An iconic party such as you described is very useful in that each character can be specialized in their goal/purpose. A rogue, oddly enough, is the only who can disarm magical traps, and serves a semi-vital roll. A monk can simulate the roll through trap avoidance or absorption however. [ Add...

And by the same token, the Player has no business telling the DM what's in their world I'd contend. In other words, you can make as many characters as you like, just don't expect them to be able to exist in their game world :). After all, step 0 in any character generation is what again? :)...

Bah, I didn't even bother to check (or even compare the old one) :P. Are there any Save or Massive Damage spells that are targeted (and not by Ray)? Finger of Death seems to be a fair consideration, but it doesn't "Deal damage" as its primary effect.

The DC is reduced by 4 for spells that don't deal damage. Ironically this better benefits the new 'Save of Massive Damage' Disintegrate example someone made earlier (since the spell now deals half Massive Damage instead of a reduced save).

Bolded something for emphasis here with the trouble with Sun-burst :). I found that out rather humorously when I accidentally blinded all my allies in a game.

Most of time, yes balance is important, it just makes for a more dynamic game (for me/IMO). If I want to play a game where balance isn't too relevant, I'd just turn to Rifts or a Supers game. [ Add ] And if you want adventures that take the PLAYER'S skills into account instead of the...

For both of this issues, it might be in part due to the fact that the setting isn't a higher (character) power level than other settings now. And most liky a difference in relative evolution between the old 2nd edition level escalation and the current system. There's also that there's a 300...
