    I need ideas for a Green Ronin style Holy Warrior

    Hi all, Recently I was asked to design for my DM a Green Ronin style Holy Warrior for a god of time. Changing the Holy Warrior over to 3.5 is fairly easy task, as I can extrapolate from the Book of Fiends' Unholy Warrior. My problem comes when choosing domain powers. There is no Time domain...

    Do you have auditions for your gaming group?

    Auditioning of a sort makes sense to me. I met my regular DM, and now good friend, when I worked at the FLGS and he came buy a few times to discuss character concepts and sit down with me to design something appropriate to his world before I jumped in. Also, when regular gaming was on hold for...

    Book recommendations needed

    Thanks for all the recommendations! I've stocked up on books, and head out at 8am tomorrow. Thankfully, it looks like I'll enjoy several of these titles as well. Between time in the air and in airports, I probably have a full day to kill on the way. Coming back? Well, that's what iPods...

    Book recommendations needed

    Thanks a bunch, all. I'm writing down titles and authors to look for in the morning. Lovecraft does indeed sound like a keen idea. I'll have somewhere between 16 and 20 hours on planes both ways, so I can't say these book recommendations won't help myself as well. Keep 'em coming.

    Book recommendations needed

    This seemed like the best place to come for advice... I'm headed to visit some friends teaching in Japan later this week. They've asked me to bring some english books, as they're somewhat starved for them. Fiction is preferred and they've asked me to check the used book stores, so I can bring...

    Huzzah! My first double post in years!

    Book of the Righteous Holy Warrior 3.5

    What one of my DMs, who has been using BotR for 3.5 has done, is continue to use the 3.5 paladin for anyone who wants to play it. Other Holy Warriors are handled on a case by case basis. In general, those who get smites or similar abilities, gain extra uses as the paladin does. Those who...

    DM's: You player just had a great idea...

    All idea sources are valid! Moreover, as much as a horrid possibility being realized can make players grown, that one particular player will gain respect by being the one who called it. If they live, they will listen to his/her advice more often...and it will destroy them!

    Question about old 2nd ed "Priests" coming back as Prestige Classes.

    Powers and Pantheons converts a number of the specialty priests of the realms, and presents some new ones. I believe Bane's specialty priests are called Tyrannars, and gain powers relating to leadership. That said, I don't think P&P is worth the cover price, so if you want to pick it up, I...

    What is Hong Kong Action Theater?

    The idea is that you're a Hong Kong film actor, and every adventure you play in is a different movie. Ability scores carry over from film to film, but skill sets change. For instance, if you're a hard boiled cop in one adventure, you'll have a completely different skill set from the last...

    Weird random event table, homosexual encounters/events.

    Here's an example from a campaign I played in. Some months ago, the local lord's winsome son left to follow a 'beautiful man', a travelling merchant mage, across the land. Now, the son is due to be invested as his father's official heir, and there is word that the merchant has been spotted...

    More Greyhawk questions

    1. Though I've always liked the sound of "Orth", I believe the official pronunciation is "Oith". Of course, if I'm wrong, this will soon be corrected.

    The Misunderstood Paladin

    As a side note, I agree with that bit of interpretation of the lawful alignment. I generally avoid alignment discussions, but I have long thought that the game designers could have saved us all a lot of headaches by referring to it as the Chaos/Order axis.

    familiar

    Hi there, I figured I'd add a question of my own in here rather than start another thread on out of core familiars. My sorceror recently decided to summon a familiar after eschewing them for several levels. My DM recently informed me that since I'd been going without for so long, we was...

    [ANGEL] 1/21/04 This episode is cool and nifty.

    Angel does indeed have a bed at the company. The elevator in his office leads to his private suite.

    Enterprise 01-21-04

    But isn't that the scale developed post Original Series, but pre-Next Gen? Enterprise would still be on the original scale, hence one hears Scotty talk about warp factors of ten and higher in the old series. I believe that scale does increase by factors of ten.

    Classes and Prestige Classes for a low magic setting

    I don't think the base classes would need to be reworked in any way. You're going to want a cap on the more powerful supernatural stuff, so if they can't ever get the higher level powers. If NPC levels are going to be the only ones taken outside of these organizations, I don't think it is a...
