I rigged up a double crossbow for use with a character once. We ruled the following (basing it off of rapid shot but with some changes): identical to light crossbow except as follows: reduced range (light crossbow - 20') two attack rolls, same target only Sneak attack and other 'precision'...

I have, yes. Think of it, in some ways, as an open-ended dungeon crawl. They have certain places they can go to start with, which influence later possibilities - just like choosing the left or right hallway. The difference, of course, is that the PCs can wander right off the map much more...

I gotta go gnome, especially with the favored class of bard. I mean, really - let's saddle the dwarf-lite with a mediocre favored class and watch them squirm. Bard doesn't even fit their archetype. Plus: Strength penalty. (ON TOP of the cut to carrying capacity for being small) Speed...

It almost sounds like you could use the Midnight setting as a resource - just make them ghouls instead of orcs... There is a lot of material written already for that setting - with the assumption that the heroes are outgunned, outnumbered, and outlawed. Especially magic, which fits in with...

I voted magic items, but after consideration, I would probably say a combination of factors: namely feats and levels. jtb

That's the single most ludicrous argument I've heard. Let's look at a quick comparison of duties, shall we? DM: -Creates campaign setting -Creates map of campaign setting -creates theology and pantheon for campaign setting -creates cities, kingdoms, and terrain for campaign setting -creates...

I voted none. The fact of it is, no one class is good at everything. If you were playing in a heavily intrigue-style game, barbarian wouldn't do you much good... I almost hit bard, but then I thought about what happens when you play a game set in the court of a king, and need someone to...

Well, it is pretty unspecific. However, the turning damage rules are explicitly based off character level: So I would assume that the destruction capability is as well. jtb

I'm interested as well - would we need the testament book? I enjoyed the last campaign you ran... Of course, I suspect you won't allow gnome wizard tinkers in this game.

Strange - it doesn't sound familiar. Was that before I joined the party? Or did you gut it that far? =+)

I chose, "some other style" because I have a ranger using javelins and spears. He follows the archery path mostly, but will take something else in place of Manyshot, when the time comes. jtb

I agree with a lot of what you are saying here, but for different reasons. I prefer using a hex map for combat - diagonal movement is so much more intuitive, and blast radius spells now make sense and map easily. However, a map printed to 5' squares just makes it more difficult. I prefer to...

Impossible to answer for me. Why? Because the poll doesn't specify if it's print product or PDF/ebook. So, I would answer color for print product (always!) and black and white for PDF. jtb

We don't tend to use them as a party because they require too many feats that could otherwise be spent more profitably elsewhere. I would not be surprised to see NPC's with them - the "springing to life fully-formed" nature of NPCs, particularly at higher levels, often means that they can be...

HAD? Is that a spoiler? =+)

I run a monothesitic game. I chose a somewhat large set of domains; the clerics can choose from them. I tried to choose some "good" ones, and some "ok" ones. I think my list is: war, protection, good, sun, community, music, and knowledge. (The last two are only available to clerics who...

Pretty much sums it up for me, too. jtb.

The orcs in my campaign are what would have happened if the Vikings had taken polynesia. Think - very large, very strong frenzied barbarians in grass skirts, sailing outrigger canoes with square sails. It's an weird concept that for some reason I really like. Mostly because I find the idea of...

However, I am fairly certain that for the arcane spellcaster levels gained by Mystic Theurge, you would still be prohibited from casting Enchantements and Illusions. jtb

Crescent is about the size of Europe, turned 90 degrees counter-clockwise and bent around the Mediterranian a bit more. It's the only (known) continent on the world. Which may or may not be flat. No one knows. There may or may not be other continents. If someone does know, they aren't...
