I'd love to be involved with this one! perhaps... perhaps, we could allow this one to be a little more, shall we say, open? Thus far, every ceramic / iron / lyric DM has had very few open slots for contestants. Why not have 10 open spots, then let the judges narrow it down to the top 3, and...

I'm trying to find an old thread, I recall that it involved people describing characters seen in artwork. It may have been lost in the big crash... What I remember was: "Fess up! Whose character is this?" Then a picture of a LARPer with a thick red beard and a big axe. And people stepped...

I'm kind of miffed that I have three Bluespawn godslayers. especially since my players are still at 4th level. :(

A few must-have resources for any just starting GM. 1. Encounter Calculator This is arguably the best resource for quickly calculating combat EXP I've ever seen. I still use it (when i have the luxury of preplanned encounters for my group) 2. Magic Item Generator When you want to make a bad...

Inside Agent Oracle's head Sound FX *horse moving slowly and deliberately* Guard 1: "Did you hear something? Guard 2: "No, but Listen IS a cross class skill for me." Rogue: *SNEAK-TRAMPLE!* Back in the real world Take a Funny point Congratulations, you made me giggle like a schoolgirl.

I feel for your son Gary, if he's interested, he can have some of my old M:tG cards... I hardly ever play anymore and would be delighted to help anyone who was the victim of such a senseless thing as gamer-on-gamer crime. Incidentally, did he write his name in the binder? I'd be worried about...

Monks make the best butlers. One word: Kato. Nothing like having Bruce lee as your manservant.

If you're a multi-headed beast that can't swim, are you Hydra-phobic? How do you play football with a construct? Tell it "Golem, go long! " If you preserve the written last wishes of a comrade, is that a will save?

Yeah, it's your group. I've NEVER had a player walk-off. I've never even seen a player suicide. Three things you could implement to reduce the walk offs: 1. DM must approve all new characters before their inclusion. 2. New characters must have a backstory with a number of pages equivalent...

Woah, that beats my CM7 "Tree of Life" by a landslide.

Counterpoint: There are mechanical benefits of being in love. They are simply less tangible than "This magic dagger gives me +1 to hit". For instance: Sir Lancelot & Queen Guenevere. Sir Lancelot used his relationship with her to gain the position of "queen's guard" presumably, a prestige...

If you could work an "undead" template into there somewhere, then you could have a robot zombie pirate ninja... with a monkey familiar...

You may... and I may just add my cards from this thread to that.

Parley! Play: During a suprise round Effect: Immediately halt the suprise round, enemies must communicate, or attempt to communicate before resuming hostiilities. At least one side must explain why it is trying to kill the other. I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Play: Any Time...

Okay, got my book, here's my take on the "Ghost step". -The invisibility lasts 1 round. -It is supernatural, so the invisibility does not dispel if you attack -It uses one Ki power per round of combat. Ninja only gain 1 Ki power every 2 levels, and one for each point of Wisdom modifier. So a...

Because the spell thief's ability basically says "hand over the caster's spell sheet, the Thief gets his choice" which is a problem if you don't have a spell sheet written out. Then you just have to read off your spells to the table... and someone will say "Shouldn't he have FIVE spells at...

Sorry Whizbang, this is one point i disagree with you on. I almost never write up what spells my enemies have (or don't have) memorized / know. There's a pretty easy reason for this: I'm lazy. Most of the time, I'll write out a rough draft of what the players will encounter (several ratmen...

Ninja: Pros over Rogue: Stealthy to the point of invisibility and intangibility. Superior acrobatic skills. Cons below Rogue: no evasion, no uncanny dodge, lower trap-related skills Scout: Pros over Rogue: Absurdly simple to get skirmish damage (move 10+ feet, and hit someone? Easy!), Bonus...

Sorry, I was kind of groggy when I wrote that. Your goal is to get the players comfortable with psionics, and prove to them that it's not broken, right? Well then, the best way to do that is to show them that psionics characters have their ups and downs, just like any other character class...

Okay, no magic, all psionics? Well.. Classes from PHB: -Fighter, Rogue, Barbarian, Monk. All other classes excluded (Why? All other classes have non-psionic magics! Inconceivable!) anything from the five other books (CW, CA, CAd, CD, and PHBII) will only allow classes with no spell casting...
