    Should sorcerers know more spells?

    The two sorcerors I've run (one into the mid-teens) have never seemed dull or limited with the current spell selection limits. I rather liken it to a fighter focusing on one particular type of fighting style. Some fighters might be less effective in situations where mobility is vital and the...

    Can bad character names kill the campaign.

    I well remember playing in a realms campaign featuring a wandering ninja from Kara-Tur. His name? Maximus Andronicus In a more serious campaign, I think there would have been irritation. Fortunately, this wasn't very serious, and Faerun's only Roman Ninja was almost normal.

    Warped book followup

    I just picked up Ghostwalk from my FLGS, and though I continue to vaguely choke at the page count to price ratio, I'm pleased to note it to be the first WotC hardcover I've picked up since November of last year to not have a warped cover. I felt like giving a cheer and telling _someone_, so the...

    [FR] Campaign set in Myth Drannor...

    Off the top of my head... I seem to recall several of the original powers of the mythal allowing easy access to planar travel, and making it much easier to banish outsiders. Without ever having seen the Ruins of Myth Drannor set, I might suggest a corruption of that power allowing any outsider...

    If the mage spells are being weakened, what compensation is being given to the mage?

    Keep in mind, these don't just apply to the wizard and sorceror. There are 'animal' buff spells on the bard and cleric lists as well. In fact, I've seen many people comment on their cleric being the group's primary source of buff magic.

    Is Dragon 309 out?

    Re: Dragon #309 3.5 notes Was magic missile on the Bard's list in 3e at any point?

    weapon finess

    Issue? Well, from what we've seen thus far, Weapon Finesse will allow you to apply it to any melee weapon that fits the feat requirements, rather than having to buy the feat seperately for say, the short sword and the rapier. I don't believe anything has been mentioned to change the...

    Long Rambling Post about *Planar Binding*

    Sadly, I don't really have anything to contribute, but consider that bit saved for future reference.

    Rod of Wonder!

    Not from my own campaign, but a fellow I met once at a Con had an amusing story from his. Back in the days of 2e, his party had rescued a gnomish mage and been rewarded with the only thing that had been left in his tower...twelve wands of wonder keyed to the same command word. The rest of the...

    Recreating Eddings' Church Knights using the Book of the Righteous

    Hey there. A friend of mine is starting up a campaign using a modified version of the world from Eddings' Elenium series. He's not the hottest on d20 mechanics, but had taken a look at my copy of BotR and had the idea to mechanically base the four orders of knights on the Holy Warrior. I'm...

    Help a DM make NPC's for a homebrew Celestial & Demon war campaign

    I'd suggest taking a look at Sepulchrave's thread in the Rogue's Gallery entitled "Eadric et all". It includes a number of his very well thought out unique celestial and fiendish characters, as well as a number of templates you may find useful

    Buffy series finale (spoilers)

    Just a thought based on the finale, and what I've heard of Fray. As I recall, in the comic, there is an event referenced in the early twenty first century that causes the Slayer line to end. Could this be it? Hear me out. They changed the line so that all potentials who could be summoned...

    WotC warped book covers...

    Wow, I'm quite heartened to know that it isn't just the recent books from my local store. Saddened however, to find that the problem seems fairly common. I'll be trying some of those recommended fixes.

    WotC warped book covers...

    I just picked up the Unapproachable East at my friendly local gaming shop, and noticed it posesses a warped cover. The last several WotC hardcovers I've bought have also had similarly warped covers. Is this a widespread phenomenon, or is my local game shop, and possibly myself, simply the...

    How many spells could a character who was min/maxed cast per round at a given level?

    What about the Symbiotic Creature template from Savage species. If you graft two wizards together, do they count as one?

    Request for an Epic Spell design

    If I recall, the Epic seed Fortify can be used for such a task.

    How many spells could a character who was min/maxed cast per round at a given level?

    Oi, since I happen to be flipping through the epic level handbook... Not feeling up to number crunching at near 3am...but I'll mention some general stuff. As of 3.5, Haste does not increase the number of spells one can cast per round. Quicken spell lets one cast one extra spell as a free...

    Is the Cleric a Common Fantasy Archtype?

    I _vaguely_ recall some of the priests in Raymond E. Feist's books fitting the archetype of the D&D cleric...then again, the Riftwar books might count as D&D books by the view of some...

    Does the 3e Ranger stink (as is)?

    I've been playing one recently, for the first time since 3e came out (I've been working my way through the core classes). I've enjoyed playing the core ranger, and would say that he's neither lagging behind, nor pulling ahead of any of the other characters.
