The vast majority are too high, in my opinion. It's the rare case wher a classed monster will be as powerful as a classed ECL 0 race.

gee, I didn't see THAT one coming. LOL I never said the spell wasn't good (strong) enough. It's one of the best Divine spells avaiable, hands down. I'm strongly of the opinion, however, that the mechanic is really messed up with this particular spell. They should not have made a spell with...

what a macabre and death-oriented thread. no offense - the thread name just screamed creepy and morbid to me.

You're saying you've got a FEVER, and the only prescription is more COWBELL?!

This is one of the easier-disproved posts I've seen (as far as an fallacious opinion can be disproved): no redeeming qualities? Kate Beckinsale's posterior. DISPROVED. No original ideas? Werewolves and vampires descend from a common ancestor, and their bloodlines are due to a virus, that when...

Love the Mustang - thanks!

Apparently, WotC has STILL never seen an American football game... :rolleyes:

I don't think D&D lends itself very well to heroism. My main mechanics-based observations: Skills: Not enough skill points for adventurers to set them apart from joe schmoe. The only thing that is in the adventurer's favor is that they will have at least twice as many levels as a commoner...

Interesting how you accept it when it's directly from Caliban, but when I said almost the same exact thing (in fact, I was paraphrasing Caliban), it was dismissed out of hand by a few people. P.S. I thought that this thread wasn't supposed to use 3.5 stuff? (Complete Warrior)

Just so you know, I (and I'm sure, other people) have also felt exactly like you do. While I understand the rules justification for hong's table, I think it's a very bad progression, bordering on lame. 1st level spells, when done right, should provide level-based benefits before level 6. It's...

Based on what you've related, the likelihood that this DM is not very good at combat is very high. You have my sympathies for getting screwed like that - there is no plauible explanation for the NPC's actions other than DM-wanted-you-down.

So barsoom - got any other reasons why the story in PotC didn't work for ya? ;)

While MK2 was horrendous, I give it props for attempting fantasy martial arts. If it wasn't for the Sonya Blade mud fight, it could be proud of what it attempted. And I like that it killed off a major character within 5 minutes - what better way to keep the audience guessing, and heighten the...

Couple thoughts: bloodymage - thanks for keeping the effort up. I think this thread needs someone taking the fore like you have, and keeping at it. I don't know if the NorCal Gameday needs a whole other website, but it's really neat that you did. I will register there. I didn't see the logo on...

WOW. I am really surprised at how so many people are mindlessly reading what the DM is spouting here, and not reading between the lines. Seavimogy and billd91 have it exactly right - this isn't a tough read: This DM has not even considered this players requests - he's out-and-out dictatorially...

What a nicely done post. While I find some danger in deluding oneself to the realities of anything, I really like the overall point of your post. Well intended.

This may strike you as odd, Demi, but most people have this amazing thing called "a sense of humor." The original poster has one... get one. Mister Congeniality out.

I'd love to show how some quotes from the LotR thread match definition #1, but I don't think that would be allowed here. :(

You DO realize that publically defending the Dungeons & Dragons movie forever nullifies your ability/right to be this nitpicky, don't you? ;)

[post used as a learning tool] Hey, barsoom - between you and me liking the D&D movie, what would be funny (but too much work) would be if everytime anyone mentioned anything bad against it, we fervently post tons of times, overwhelming their opinion with unexamined proclamations of how good the...
