We use most of the Spell Compendium and Magic Item Compendium. We also use many of the feats from the Complete books, but not classes or new subsystems like Skill Tricks. As DM, I use pretty much all the monster books and adapt creatures as needed.

I play a Dwarven Fire Druid in PF and while it's a good character, it typically doesn't stomp all over the other characters. The Wizard is a bigger damage dealer, the Fighter is better in melee. I am able to fulfill both roles as needed, but not quite as well as a specialist. Wildshape has...

In our group, by far the biggest threat is the Fighter/Barbarian. He could literally kill almost any other party member in a single round, 2 at most. His attacks routinely do about 25-30 points of damage, and his bonuses to hit are so high he almost never misses. The other characters are just...

If I'm willing to run it, about 2 miles. If I actually want to play, about 75.

I have it Do you want me to email it to you?

Give us 1 sample rules change from MnM 2e that will be in or is being considered for the DC game. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being fully compatible, how compatible will MnM 2e characters, powers, and rules be with the DC game? Will it be simple to convert them over, or are you better off...

Any buyer is going to want to read the book, or else how can they a) tell it's a spellbook instead of insane ramblings, and b) what value it has according to the levels of the spells within it. Would you pay a year's wages for a book the seller assures you contains magic spells, but that you...

The characters in my game just killed a man-eating hill giantess and found her spellbook... it is written in Giant, and the pages are tanned human skin, not paper! Needless to say, the resale value might be hurt by these facts, assuming they can find anyone willing to buy it!

I didn't know there was a hard limit, but we had the materials, and I when only 3 showed up, I had to decide whether to run it anyway or scrap it. I decided to run it anyway. At first I reduced the number of monsters in the encounters, but even with 3 characters, they trounced the monsters...

There was just the opposite reaction at my FLGS. No one was willing to DM it, so I volunteered. Only 3 people (all fairly young, about half my age) signed up to play. One of them dropped out after the 1st week, but one of the others brought another friend of his, keeping it at 3 people. It...

I started with the Erol Otis covered Basic set, then 1e, 2e, 3e, 3.5, and a little bit of 4e. I've been a gamer for 30 years, and played tons of games besides D&D too. Currently, my group is playing nothing but Pathfinder and we are loving it! It's a great evolution of the game we love, where...

I agree... warm water is best. If you really can't get the grime off, maybe try liquid hand soap? It shouldn't harm the pre-painted figures.

It may be a preference, but we ran it today (Saturday).

Surprised there isn't a thread for this yet. Today I GMed both the Game Day adventure and Encounters session 1 at the FLGS. I had 2 players with a little 4e experience, and 1 who had never played D&D before. This was my 1st time GMing 4e. Overall, I think it pretty well, and everyone seemed...

I agree, the higher level augments really aren't all that much better in most cases, and don't really keep up with other classes Enc power progression.

If anything, it's the Wilden that is underpowered. They get almost nothing... sure, they can choose between 3 powers each day, but that's it besides +1 to 1 defense! I decided to give each Aspect a bonus of its own as well.

A houserule I had made long ago was that classes do not exchange their lower level powers for higher level ones, they simply get more powers. This gives them greater versatility, and a little more big firepower before having to resort to spamming the at-wills. For Psionic characters, that...

The Wizard should have held off on the challenge until after the battle, so that he could help in the combat and get many more bonuses from Aid Another by the rest of the party outside of combat. But what really struck me was this: Steel Diamond's Death Saves did NOT reset when he was revived...

I'm playing a Dwarven Druid with the Fire domain, and the roleplaying aspect of that is great! How many pyromaniac Druids do you see? He is a druid of the Fire Forest in WotBS, and in his view, a good plant is a burning plant... As far as DPS, I definitely think it's one of the better...

You could do the same with the gate encounter... "It looks like it'll take them another 5 minutes to get the ballistas into proper firing position... do you want to rest or charge them before they get them into position?"
