    race & feat combos that destroy my campaigns melee combat.

    As for that, remember - and keep very very close track - of which benefits stack. Or, more importantly, which ones don't.

    Group names

    Thinking back further, in addition to the Companions of the Rising Sun, I've also had characters as part of the following groups: the Zoo Crew (D&D, everyone has pets!) Banshee Squadron (Robotech) The Lost Boys (D&D - planar castaways!) SNAFU (Superhero game - we even printed business cards...

    Entangle

    Well, the only thing that might be wrong is if you mislead the players to believe the elves would talk, then nailed them with an ambush... unless that was what you meant to do. In other words, if you did this just because you were feeling mean, then it's wrong. If there's a plot reason -...

    Sucker for fonts.

    Me too. I took a typology class in grad school, and failed the will save vs. becoming a type geek. I've gone so far as to make a spreadsheet for my campaign, detailing which NPC uses which font, so they can identify handouts by the handwriting. So far, my players haven't even noticed. But...

    Loooong distance archery query

    Don't forget circumstance bonuses - are they walking through dust and kicking up a cloud? Torches or campfires sending up smoke? A whole crowd of familiars and animal companions on the wing above them? Does she have scouts/spotters? Are they walking through a valley or along a river or some...

    When players clash

    But he isn't. If he's not there, he's not at the table, is he? Here's a general rule I've seen posted around: Don't game with anyone you wouldn't socialize with out of game. That can frequently be inverted to read: Don't socialize with someone you wouldn't game with. And it certainly...

    Dice at the table

    When I'm playing, I usually like to have enough dice at hand to roll all my attacks at once, usually color-coded by attack. So, frex, with a high level ranger specializing in javelins, it could be three or four d20s, 3-4d6, in matching color-pairs, plus a d4 and an extra d6 in one of the...

    Doing Away with Spellcraft

    I've done it. I had a gnome wizard, and we were really certain that, during an assault on a keep, we would be facing a group of 5th level sorcerers with fireball as their primary weapon. So I loaded up on fireballs, with a dispel magic for reserve, and blocked every fireball save one they sent...

    Will Save Undead Turning Mechanic?

    Here are the rules I use now, which I find work really well: Turning Undead Duration: concentration, up to 1 rond/(effective cleric) level - see below Radius: 30', with the availability of a feat to increase it (sort of like metamagic - maybe costing two turning attempts) Effects: Will...

    Is it wrong for a game to have an agenda?

    Is it wrong for a game to have an agenda? No, not in my opinion. But remember that that will limit your audience, which equals limiting your sales. jtb Out of curiousity, why do you ask?

    Your "To Buy" List

    :heh: funds have been... limited... lately. And I haven't had a need for it; my players have been stuck in another, already well-developed city for quite a while. But now, they're on the move...
