I'm pretty sure that by the book they can only take normal levels, or epic prcs if they qualify, although they can take epic feats with their bonus feats. I think.

Quote: There's a paladin, a fighter, a rogue, and a sorceror. It's a bit cheesy, but you could throw them against a blackguard, a warrior of darkness (if you've got the BoVD, or just another "evil fighter" class,) an assassin, and a sorceror with a specialization in necromancy and...

Check here: http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~eva/nethack/spoilerlist.html Huge list of nethack spoilers. To beat the game, you need to find the amulet of Yendor, find your back through the dungeon, make it to the astral plane and sacrifice the amulet on the high altar of your deity, where you will...

chuckle -- saying "it's not the spell that causes the damage, it's the force of the earth reverting that causes the damage" does not save you from having a spell that does way too much damage. :) refer to the spell design stuff in the... dmg? eh, I don't know where, but it's around there...

yikes. If this works for your group, cool, but I suspect it will be way too much stuff, unless you had a similar huge set of rules in 3.0. G'luck w/ it, though!

This is going into my campaign immediately. Version I'm using: Comes from a magic staff that's attuned to the caster, functions exactly like a longbow (except for it being fire damage, because it's a powergame anyway. If I wasn't worried about balance [there's only one character, a gestalt...

Question: Why don't they just kill assassinate the elder son, then the king? Or the king, then the elder son? If they can assassinate one, why not both? Killing two people is a lot easier than fighting a war. If he wants to be the "hero" when the war with the undead starts, that's something...

Well, you can use the fact that plants breath CO2 in there somewhere. Air feeds wood, in that view. Or wood feeds air -- trees give off oxygen from breathing, etc. They feed each other? Dunno. Metal and air is stumping me, though.

Using diplomacy to get into a city is Lawful Good. If he was using it with threats or something, that would be intimidate, etc. Diplomacy is trying to lawfully talk your way in. (My interpretation, at least.) As for players doing things for rewards, just because your players have chaotic...

The idea sounds bad at first, but I think it could be fun. Sounds like you should run it past your group first, though, if you haven't already -- if you get any major pain from them, you might not want to try it. Although, no harm done in trying it for a couple weeks anyway and giving up, of...

diet soda, cola and rum, or vodka and whatever. Where's the mixed drink option, heh. A gaming group I had also went through something like 18 pepsis a night... with four people... where the GM and I drank one or two apiece. My normal gaming group claims that I tend to GM better if I'm...

An idea: You could have the baron come and give a mandatory speech that everyone must hear. It's a great speech, about how he's lowering taxes, and how happiness is on the rise, and there's going to be a new priest in town to heal the sick and provide for the wounded. While everyone is at the...

My last game had a title, but you need a title to have a story hour. (Whether you abandon it or not! ;)) I think it really helps put everything in focus, having a title, as long as it has some meaning. I never used to do theme and mood, and I flopped as a GM a lot. My first idea for a theme...

Played in a game where I and another character got swapped, he was pretty unhappy about it and we just ended up undoing it. It could be fun, or it could not be fun, depends on how you do it, and especially how attached to playing one's own character your players are.

to Scribble -- if you like alternate rules so much, go buy unearthed arcana right now! whole book of alt. rules. It's currently 60% off at Amazon, as well.

40/60, currently. I set up a good deal of stuff -- but I focus most of my attention on things the players did that I didn't expect, and run with them -- that's the most fun, to me. I love running with what a player wants to do, instead of what I want -- their solutions are far more elegant and...

Nah. I've killed players before, etc... I have had players get upset during games before -- but it usually because of other players. I made a bad mistake of putting two groups of people together and trying to DM for them when they both wanted very different styles -- somewhat whimsical...

...pah, all you people just using these outdated methods! :) First time I ever DM'd I used a database during the game to reference NPCs. ...and that sucked. I've used a laptop and mspaint to do combat once... that was ok, but it wasn't worth repeating, and having the laptop around was...

Just started running a short campaign for my sig other, as the only player -- she's only played a couple times, and is having fun. Gestalt bard-sorceror elf on a spell point system for ease of use (it's actually easier so far!) she recently woke up, had her mother deliver a short poem to her...

Fighter16/Rogue4 isn't half bad either. BAB of 19 @ level 20, greater spec, etc. Can't focus on too many rogue skills, but that's ok. Fighter 8/Rog12 is fine, BAB of 17@20, can still work on skill, still get greater weapon focus, etc. Just be sure to be goony and take Rogue for level 1, and...
