Hrm. I usually place a balance of things in there ... some melee guys that can outflank the PCs or a few more mooks than they can reliably kill ... because I've got a melee guy on hand. My Airships game, all of the PCs were ranged-based. This is an age-of-sail campaign, though, with...

Yea ... the campaign I played in that had a Halfling Paladin was the one where I played Grimbold The Mighty, goblin rogue. The GM even gave me "Bolt" as a bonus feat (if reduced to 1/2 or fewer HP from an attack you may choose, as an immediate action, to drop everything held and take a Withdraw...

I've only played in Urban Arcana, and then only for a short time. The way the GM ran it, there were enough people that knew about Shadow that in the bit we played ... it never really came up. I was playing a magic-using investigator, another guy was playing a dwarf, and I think we had an elf...

I'm of the camp that Spell+Spell+Zweihander+PowerAttack=Powerful ... I'm playing a Barbarian/Cleric with Destruction domain and Extra Smite, just for that. Spikes + Smite = Cleric Level x2 in damage and I usually dump the +4 into PA for another +8. Last level, between that and Righteous Might...

Tr011z0r3d! Does remind me of the "wizard" I built for my wife, once. Rogue/Bard. It lead to the core two players of my old group. One guy was rather up in arms at first that she was misrepresenting her character as a "wizard" when it was obviously, on the sheet, not a wizard. They had an...

If he gets the Quiver of Moradin, I get swordchucks. --fje

My kid's grand accomplishment of the day was getting up on her hands and knees, drooling on the carpet, and faceplanting an inch forward ... then giggling and doing the whole thing again. Then again, she's 5 months old. Cool story! --fje

For Burst Damage I've got: Barbarian1/ClericX (Strength/Destruction) Take Extra Rage, take Extra Smite. Two-handed weapon and Power Attack. I get most of my big damage from casting Spikes on my Greatclub (+ Caster Level in damage) and Smiting (+4/+Clr lvl) and power attacking. That's pretty...

As a note, I prefer the MDT over WP/VP in part because it puts control of the "darn, I'm dead" situation a little more into the hands of the players. The player can choose to buff his Fort saves with Great Fortitude and can roll an AP on the MDT save as well, as opposed to just making less of a...

If there was a REASON for them to not loot, then fine. If it was the last fight of the day and they had nothing in particular to do, then I'd give them the money. The game's about having fun. If the only fun being had here is that you get to be a butthead and you enjoy denying them the cash...

The problem with guns being deadly is usually people get tied up in The Myth of the Gun. Oi. I played a homebrew system that my brother-in-law spent years perfecting. (He and his buddy are big The Forge followers). Lovingly researched with data compiled from CIA and FBI databases on GSW, etc...

It would probably severely curtail my visiting the WotC site. I don't even like logging in to sites (and the fact that I've got my login set automatically here is probably the big reason I come here, myself). It's a very very big hurdle to get anybody to pay for anything on the internet...

LN Elven ... Monk ...?? Figured I'd be a wizard. --fje

Well, until about a year ago I was about 90% GM and 10% player ... I ran most of the games, and when I got a chance to play it was usually shorts or one-shots or campaigns that blew up after a handful of sessions. EDIT: From the moment I picked up my first RPG, as well. Just had always...

I'm not a fan of C&C, but it sounds alot like what you want to play. --fje

Well to explain why the interest, in case it opens up some additional suggestions: This is part of the SFX Skills series I'm working on, Hermetic Alchemy, and I'm trying to think of the various uses that players will attempt to put transmutation to. Of course, one of those would be the...

Here's what I've got so far. Poison: Chlorine (Gas) Type: Inhaled Save DC: 15 Initial: 2d6 Damage + Nauseated 1d3 rounds Secondary: 1d4 Con PDC: 15 Restriction: Res (+2) Craft DC: 15 Time: 4 hr. Normal rules for D20Modern poisons. As a gas poison, this is the craft/PDC for...

DarkKestrel, thanks for the reply. :) If its that easy, I'll probably crank the DC and such down a bit. Blue Vitriol (aka Copper(II) Sulfate) has a PDC of 3 and a Craft DC of 9 ... you can find it in kids' chemistry sets, as far as I know ... makes pretty crystals ... not sure how you'd go...

Banhammered, myself. I've never really liked the way psionics interacted with the rest of the rules of the game, and parts of it I've found pretty broken. I played in a psionics-only campaign, without any other magic, and found it to be pretty interesting ... but the flavor isn't anything I...

Hey, the Bullywugs have tough competition. The only other iconic D&D race of Frog-people will stab you in the stomach and lay their eggs in you ... EGGS IN YOU ... that's pretty hardcore. --fje
