In general, I don't get much use out of my extra monster books. They are nice for the occassional "Hey what the hell is that?" when I pull something from an unusual source, but since I have very experienced players and other DMs in my gaming group they general recognize the vast majority of the...

I'll agree that Improved Initiative is near a must for any rogue. Close behind that for most rogues is Weapon Finesse. With my DMs, Iron Will shows up a lot for all characters and many rogues seem to have low wisdom scores in our group (not that I agree on that character design plan)...

Archers are so deadly already that I personally would never allow such a feat into my game even if it existed. I think Rapid Shot + Ranged Power Attack would enable a well-built archer to do insane amounts of damage. Our group respects archers so much that one of our DMs has stated "If you...

We played last weekend so Hrojimir has some good backlog for story now. However, he's still involved in house projects and between the two games he's the DM, the two games where he's a player and his new job he's been a busy boy. I'm hoping we'll get some more story in the next few weeks.

Diviner..I am always looking for more information.

My friends and I use a system we call Organic Point Buy. Our point buy target is usually 28 (varies up to 32 for some DMs). You roll 3d6 in order for the six stats. You can swap two stats. Add up the point value of your rolled stats. Grant necessary points to buy the character up to a...

We place 2/month for about 3 hours each. We've been in this campaign for about 17 months and they are 8th/9th level. Levels have been coming slower and slower tho and this will continue. My hope when I started this game was to have a 4-5 year game and end somewhere in the mid-to-high teens...

p 58 Unearthed Arcana. It's a one-page rundown of other class variants that follows the section where you found the Wilderness Rogue.

Faerie Fire is a wonderful concealment/invisibility/darkness problem solver. My druid was on a long staircase when missile came flying out of the darkness striking the party. I made a listen check, heard beating wings, cast faerie fire in the area and presto, Manticores exposed to returning...

I play with the same group of people scattered in groups of 5-6 over several campaigns with different people DMing the various games. For us, the other DMs generally try to help the poor guy on the other side of the screen remember stuff. Some of the players who don't DM actually get irritated...

I had a young minister at my church who ran an adventure for the teens in the church who were into D&D and then ran our parents through the exact same adventure so they could get some familiarity with the game and reduce any concerns they had about our gaming. The story was very cool. It was...

The true strength of the Druid is versatility. I've seen the druid played by 3 different players now and they all took very different approaches. I love skill points, so I often put more stock in Intelligence than many other players. In 3.5, with Barkskin now stacking with natural armor...

3.5 changed this. Ranger favored enemy damage now applies to any creature including those immune to critical hits.

I play in the Greyhawk game and play a True Neutral druid of the old faith. His outlook is that Outsider (of all alignments) are not to be trusted with Beory's creation. He was born to a merchant family but an old Elven relative rekindled his curiousity in nature. I'm currently 14th level...

1.) What is the best number of players at the table, whether as a DM or player yourself? 5 Players + 1 DM 2.) How often should you be able to game in an ideal world? 1 week 3.) How long should those sessions be? 3-4 hours 4.) The poll handled percentage of Crunch to Flavor, but what are...

We converted a ranger/fighter in my campaign. I just subtracted 2 for first level HD (max goes from 10 to 8) and subtracted 1/hp level after that (avg goes from 5.5 to 4.5). So he lost 7 HPs and 3 feats converting 3.0 fighter and ranger levels to 3.5 ranger levels. He picked up 29 skill...

My understanding is that WOTC will put it up as a free PDF before the end of July.

Ran one campaign of 6 players from 3rd - 15th Running current campaign of 6 players from 1st - 7th (ongoing, switching to 3.5). Played a Cleric/Bard from 5th - 8th Psychic Warrior from 1st - 7th Cleric/Ranger from 1st - 6th Rogue/Savant from 3rd - 6th Druid from 3rd - 13th (ongoing...

I usually describe. 1. Killing Blows 2. Nasty Criticals to either monsters or players I have a few creative players who describe their own wounds when they are greviously injured. We are not nearly as gory as it would actually be.
