Ditto. Though, sometimes as a DM I let people either roll up a column of six at 3d6 each, then assign those scores to whatever ability they wish, or possibly 2 or 3(!) columns and choose which one they want to use. The more columns they get, the less likely I willl accept them mixed around...

to further illustrate PSH's point (break out the big crayons for those keeping score at home), you require one hand free for somatic components (hand gestures). Take another look at those Divine spell descriptions. Now consider the ones that require a Divine Focus (holy symbol) AND Somatic...

As do I, clearly. :)

Yes, this is exactly the same. I was one of the "new" characters in this scenario. The Holy Avenger, in my opinion, was not as blatant as the Helm that summoned a Pegasus for 8 hours. That was in addition to his Special Mount Warhorse. And a ring of Vampiric Regeneration. (now, to be fair, it...

Regardless of what you think Kahuna Burger said, one thing is obvious... That is a tasty burger! :lol: But I digress... every time I see her name I hear Samuel L. Jackson in my head looking at me with a jerry-curl. Some demons I must let free! ;) As for the actual conversation, I actually...

A few of the gaming groups I've been in and are in currently use a session dues to pay for a end of year party. We have a few awards in the same way you mentioned, and the winners recieve a certificate or plaque, depending on how much money we've accumulated through dues. The party is held at a...

Quoted for Truth. If your game is strong, then you have nothing to worry about. I would contend that announcing in front of everyone would be against social ettiqutte though. Even if you're right and telling the truth, to simply sit up in front of the entire group and say "hey, cause this guy...

In my sight, he is unfortunate. He is clearly intelligent and strives to be articulate. I can appreciate these traits. He even is witty in general, and there were times that he would say something that was really, really funny. That was about 20% - 40% of the time. But you know how when you're...

*nod* My interest in discourse is not important enough to press the rules of ENWorld. I appreciate your tact in your warning as well. During my time as a member to this board, since it was Eric Noah's 3E board actually, I've come to really respect PirateCat for a number of reasons. In addition...

Despite your sarcasm, I will reply in earnest. You are indeed correct in the spirit of your comment; in those examples you would not shoulder any blame for expecting something to "work as advertised". The point I was attempting(?) to make is that AFTER you know that something does not "work as...

Hot damn I'm a wordy mo-fo. Again, sorry about the novel. If you are interested in replying, and I am more than happy to, and encourage, debate on alternate views, I would humbly ask that you read my replies in full. No, I'm saying the blame is equal. The designer is just as wrong as the person...

Sorry about the novel below. I felt compelled to reply in an encompassing manner. I get a little preachy. Maybe a lot preachy, depending on your view. I hope that my goal of expressing what I see as a desperately important point does not float over to the appearance of personal attack. I bear no...

A vote for "No" is a vote for accepting personal responsibility for your actions. Just because a gun can kill someone doesn't mean you should point it at someone and shoot them. A gun is a tool, just as the system is a tool. The person who exploits that tool is to blame. In the end, it's a...

I use the Star Wars Miniatures for the D20SW game I run, and they are scaled to a regular 27/32 mm scale, just like normal D&D miniatures where 1" = 5' / 2m. The MicroMachines, as I understand it, are slightly smaller (?) and would have a noticible bump in size (perhaps the MM versions would...

Wiz-War is a good one... It was published independently by the creater, and sometime around the 5th edition it got picked up by Chessex... who couldn't drum up enough sales and have been attempting to get the newest (8th) edition to the market with almost as many setbacks that Duke Nukem...

I enjoy the concept of the Bard, but not the Bard in practice as written for 3.5. :( I think the Bard is one of those classes that really depends on the ingenuity and quick thinking of the player. If you do not have those abilities in real life, then it's going to be a very hard road indeed...

Lord Zardoz, and anyone else looking for a group or more people, should do everything that has been mentioned here. Also, try putting your *actual* location in your profile so it shows up under your name on EVERY post. The "Ninth Circle of Hell" as a location may be funny, but doesn't help you...

http://www.omniglot.com/writing/tengwar_eng.htm That is a handy translator page for the English alphabet. here is some information about Tengwar itself: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/tengwar.htm Dunno if there is a program that will do the translation and display the text for you, but that...

As to the poll: 4-6 people is what I shoot for with D&D. I find that is the range that you have the most diversity a single GM can cater to without loosing people in the mix. Any more than that and the players begin to pull off into cliques around the table, which will inevitably mean one or...

I also find the Mini Painter's Yahoo Groups to be a fantastic resource with MANY patient and skilled people always willing to help. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mini-painter/ Pogre had a great thread for painting information in the art section of this very message board as well... hopefully...
