    Has anyone managed to make the monk less oriental?

    IMC, I made monks the devotees of the Sun God, and just made the Ki abilities "powered by the Holy Light of ORB..." - they are, in essence, introspective religious figures seeking spiritual enlightenment (in several senses of the word) through the pursuit of physical perfection. The addition...

    I found at Target recently some castle figures in the $.99 bin - little viking guys, some knights on horses... all done in the same plastic as little green army men. Though they weren't green. Best Non-gaming-intended Mini: Lego mini-figs. Best New Snack: Scotch Best Gaming Travel Gear...

    No Boys Allowed!

    yeah, or the fact that you play in one of the most well-respected groups around this place... maybe other than the Stewardesses... ;)

    My poor LBEG - what went wrong?

    Zombies are CR 1/2 creatures - yeah, a decently built cleric's going to nuke them, every time. You will need a lot more than five to really threaten them. Or just move up to ghouls. Zombies are really only appropriate for about levels 1 and 2. I realized that, just like you did, the hard...

    Why does STR affect Attack Bonus?

    Remember also that the ring itself places a limitation on the fight, which hinders the faster, lighter guy far more than the bigger, slower guy. Less room to manuver = less value on manuverability.

    Why does STR affect Attack Bonus?

    It is different for, say, foil fencers. Which, of course, is where the Weapon Finesse comes into play. see? It's all starting to make sense!

    Indispensible DM Resources

    As I noted before, I use the Timpani excel sheet - and now that I'm at home, I have a link for it: http://www.dndtools.com/ Also, Undead Presidents recently released a PDF called "Quick Item Selection" which I am finding invaluable in creating NPCs. (Though I do wish it had been passed by a...

    Help Us Kill Morrus - Just updated 23/03/05

    Well, that's an assumption you shouldn't make. Rat bastard DMs are known for doing exactly that. And if Morrus isn't a RBDM, well, he's being coached by them. PirateCat, for example, during the recent climax of the story arc chronicled in his story hour, is on record as saying:

    Artist looking to do some fun sketches.

    Calai Redleaf Hey, if you're still looking for some sketch subjects, here's my old favorite. I might be interested in buying the original sketch and/or ink, depending on how it turns out. Calai RedLeaf (Caliban) is the last son of a doppelganger family, orphaned when his parents were killed...

    Girls (Females) in D&D/Roleplaying

    1 20% +- 3% (Yes, I did the math.) IME, they haven't, much. About even, actually. Half of the female gamers with whom I've ever gamed have been more bloodthirsty than any of the men, half more interested in story and character growth. Just like the guys. Nope. I think it's pretty even No...

    Secrets of the Halmae: My Players Keep Out

    Also, don't forget that (just to add to the complexity), it's unlikely that the archmages are going to arrive alone. I would imagine that they will all have an entourage of some sort, some retainers, 53 purple peacocks, 95 white Persian monkeys, 75 golden camels, 60 elephants... Do the players...

    How to handle treasure distribution

    Chalk another group up for the "Who needs it gets it" method. Our team is occasionally imbalanced by this - our bow-specialized ranger, for example, didn't get a magic weapon until 7th level, because it never came up in the treasure piles. But all in all, it has worked well. It gets a little...

    Gaming and Friendship (for DM's)

    I have two groups. One is a group found through a game store's game night; the other is mostly friends and friends of friends. I've basically dropped out of the first group; they mostly play Hero system, they have some folks I think are a little disgusting, and they meet on the other side of...
