Those are exactly the comments my own group has made since 3.5 was released, and my own experiences playing a half dragon troll something or other in a campaign a couple of years ago. I just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something. I'll post something this evening that I wrote up over the...

Im looking for some feedback from others about the playability of the half races (half celestial, half dragon, half fiend) over the life of a campaign. How do you deal with the low levels? (when other characters < level 4)? What if anything is unbalancing about the features of the half races...

Im just happy it wasnt the cleric who took a dump, though in some ways it would have been nice to see an old tradition continue. >:)

I thought it was "dwoy-mer"

I think it was almost worse, knowing what was going to happen, yet being powerless to say or do anything while LBs words poured out the narrative onto the page. I usually play good characters, but Im going to miss that barbarian...

I've been thinking of starting my own storyhour, so here I come over to see whats to see, and read a bit about how others write, and by the sheerest of happenstance I click on a title that catches my eye. Imagine my surprise to see that the author is none other than my favorite storyteller of...

I think the danger of the base classes is that in some cases they make it easier to overcome what the original designers thought were balancing elements of the rules - like multiclassing and XP penalties. Whenever you start blending abilities together like the ranger and rogue for the "Scout"...

Tumna strangely had disappeared by the time they came out, leaving the group at four of the six who had started the quest earlier that day. The group congratulated themselves as they made their way back across the city. Even the cynical Lookspring couldnt have been happier. Half the group made...

ooc: Due to circumstances I can no longer control, even this, my last game of PbP, has to end early. Real life, and my responsibilities to my family and my company dictate that I put aside the gaming, and focus on things far less interesting. I'll summarize and get you XP and GP rewards, so you...

I'll post a map and some more tonight.

The gnome's lights spread out across the room, highlighting the many items stored here. Its a veritable trove of crap, erm, I mean priceless heirlooms. Lookspring begins heading for the far side of the room, and the now lit alcove that clearly leads somewhere else. Korash, Kamdar, and Phoenix...

And so with Lookspring in the lead the group began down the steep stairs. Lookspring had yet to grab the railing, perhaps trusting on his catlike reflexes to keep him safe. Korash didnt risk it - probably what they say about Dwarves, particularly ARMORED dwarves, is true. The gnome Kamdar...

Carefully making their way past the floor that caved in on them earlier, the group makes its way down the stairs to the lower level. Pushing past the broken furniture the group finds itself at the top of a steep set of stone stairs. A handrail runs the length of the stairs on both sides. Below...

ooc: an ornate decanter, made of silver and inscribed with many family symbols and motiffs.

The kitara, the dwarf, and the gnome gingerly make their way past the broken door and into the room. Phoenix and Tumna stayed in the hall, the mindblade clearly taking the time to refocus while there were no apparent threats. More than once Lookspring had to hiss at the Dwarf, who threatened to...

ooc: you could move through/over them if you so chose.

The gnome's admonition couldnt have been more on point as the psion's energy weapon ripped through the door, sending fragments of wood splintering off in every direction. More than a few pieces bounced harmlessly off the armor of the adventurers, stuck as they were in the relatively tight...

Pushing the other three out of the way the small kitara thrusts his weight against the door, but finds it impossible to budge or break. Unwilling to try again, he pulls an axe from his side and begins to smash at the door. While he manages to break off some pieces, the door seems to be strong...

The DM waits in suspense to find out who will kick the door down, and what will happen next... >:)

ooc: we'll continue, I'll NPC their characters until they come back or I get them out of the building and I'll adjust the story appropriately. Korash, Kamdar, and Phoenix moved back out of the room, leaving the fragile glassware and heading back down the hall. Lookspring nudged at Tumna who...
