    Overbearing players and their absence from tonight's session [Rant]

    Note: This is partly a rant and partly a discussion directed towards the Enworld community about different approaches and philosophies about games. I'm playing in a Warhammer fantasy game with my group of friends here at college and I'm a bit put off with how the session went tonight. Our...

    Why the fear and hatred of Disjunction?

    Disjunction sucks just as much as save vs death affects.

    "The Dhakaani Code": Modifiying Da Vinci for D&D/Eberron (possible spoilers)

    The idea of figuring out the Mourning would be a great idea, though I tend to believe there would have been a series of siginifcant events the culminated in a single moment, which produced the devistation known as the Day of Mourning. Three books to check out about dragonmarks and the Prophesy...

    Was I unfair?

    I think the convension of a hole in the ground screams for players to enter it. Classic DnD move, yes, they likely should have done some investigation before entering the hole, but how did you open the game? Did the violent deaths and the hole appear at the beginning of the session or in the...

    Dice Questions?

    A few years ago, I walked into my game store and sorted through their random dice set and found a number of d10s with the magic mana symbols on them, specifically fire and plains. Did they make a set for all 5 of the colors? Do you have any idea where I could get more?

    Loss of what 4 spells would change the game dramatically?

    I'm going to assume adventurers for the moment. Remove teleport, detect spells, cure spells and reserrection spells, they're pretty boned.

    Help me cover a Tavern Bathroom Wall with Grafitti

    For a good time, talk to Betty! Don't talk to Betty! She's got a dental dam of devouring!!

    Choosing animal companions for ease of mobility, tastiness and nutrition.

    I would not penalize the druid for sacrificing their animal companion to feed the party, though he might have been able to use a combination of summons or animal empathy to sway a creature to show up that they could then slaughter for food. The natural realm's not very pretty and sometimes...

    Club of Healing

    I'm sure that a healing club would be pretty pretty funny, but the bard could just use wands of healing. The class has it as a class skill, but I'm pretty sure, so long as the spell's on your list of spells (overall list, not just known to the character), they can cast the spell from the wand.

    Eberron / Sunken city in Thunder Sea / Adventure Ideas

    What plane did they shift from? I'd use the poor roll your player made plus the energies from the plane they came from dictate what kind of creatures you populate the city with. I'd make the city a manifest zone for the moon of ice and another one, maybe the one of war? A fiend could have been...

    No love for the smart fighter?

    You want to look at classes with good skill lists so you can take advangate of Int stat. How are you determining stats, because you are just asking for a character with MAD syndrome with is midly bad. If its point-buy, you will not be able to dedicate a lot of points to strength, dex and con...

    How long should it REALLY take you to paint your miniature? YOU NON-PAINTERS YOU!!!

    I haven't painted minitures in years, but I'm very focused on the details of my mini. I might have the best skills, but I would spend a lot of time on them trying to dry brush and put several coats on it. Painting mounted characters sucks a whole lot if you want to spend a bit of time on them...

    Is decision of method of ability score gen a house rule?

    I also disagree. When you come into a new gaming group, you have no idea what books are avaiable for character generation or resources that players might be able to draw from. The "core" only game serves as a primary example of this. Yes, Races of Stone or PHBII might have official rules within...

    How do you 'nudge' your players away from tank mentality? (and high magic games)

    I don't mean to sound snarky, but how in the world can you run Age of Worms as a low magic adventure without a lot of work retailering the adventure? Personally, I think the problem might be that you placed the highly magically dependent adventure path into a low magic setting. The play testers...

    Party of Almost Purely Tanks

    The Druid should pick up spontaneous healer from complete divine. Single feat, very powerful and that way he doesn't need to waste spell slots preparing healsauce, he can pull it out whenever you need it. Also, consider using the shapeshifting ability from PHBII, the druid gains flat combat...

    Laptops at the table - Do you use them?

    I'm not a big fan of using a laptop as a player, I prefer rolling my own dice, having a hardcopy character sheet with notes on paper. I do, however, try to keep an electronic copy of my character up to date with levels skills and etc should I lose my sheet. For dming though, I couldn't do my...

    Balancing the Warblade

    Personally, I don't mind the skill points each class gets. I think dropping the HD might be a bit much because the class does only get medium armor, I know they could multiclass, but they shouldn't have to. Have you play tested the class before trying to modify it? I will agree that the full...

    Help with Gnomish Pirates

    Eberron uses elementals to power the vessels that exist in its world. I suggest throwing an air or water elemental on the gnomish ship to give them greater maniuverability and speed. Maybe have their artiliery be magical or alchemical (refer to Heroes of Battle). They'd likely also have a spell...
