    Suggested XP progression for NPC's...

    and in one reply, thalmin says pretty much all of it. Oh, allied NPC's should be at roughly henchman-like standing, possibly just below a henchman, so a henchman could represent a significant threat to an ally. Trust me, your players won't care about the level of the bartender. I certainly don't.

    TOOBS - Cool Alternate Miniatures

    They are approximately the right size. 1.5" to 3" tall. Not actually bad mind you, and they fit in quite well on the table.

    OotS 438 (Wednesday)

    Hmm, if i was GMing? 1 standard action to write the note. ("Just a reminder, I love you ;) ~Haley") 1 swift to stick it to an arrow. 1 standard attack Vs. distant hobgoblin adjacent to love interest. In short, Haley gave up a full attack action in a previous turn to compose the note! How sweet!

    Would you roll the d4 if...

    Lemmie see: Start at lvl 2 with no problems OR have a 25% chance of starting lower with better stats, and a 75% chance of starting at equal or higher level with a plot hook. err... Oh hell. I'll throw the d4, but probably live to regret it.

    Should Str and Con be one stat?

    My grandma is 103 right now. Before she retired to a community, she was a nurse for 35 (or was it 37? have to ask her this Sunday) years. She can't lift a gallon milk jug by herself any more, but when there was a flu outbreak, it didn't even slow her down. She was tending to everyone else...

    Monsters of Suck

    Dude! the arumvorax was my first character's First magic item. You skin it and wear it's hide for an AC bonus, that doesn't cause spell failure :) It was hard to fight, mean as all get out, and nearly killed our rogue, fighter, and cleric, but damn if it wasn't snappy for dressing!

    What do you think of the Duskblade?

    frankly, i think the Duskblade has a fine number of spells. He just goes Nova more readily than a traditional caster. I mean, he's RIGHT THERE in melee combat with the enemy, he has onyl a medium AC and medium HP, it's in his own best intrests to Blow enemies away. As for "too many spells"...

    D&D and the MMORPG

    The staples in an MMO party come from the fact that questing in an MMO is largely an issue of dealing with enemies that have an IQ of a medium-sized rock. I.e. none at all. That's the primary reason why you have characters relegated to the tasks as they are in an MMO. Because enemies do not...

    Ridiculous amount of buffs

    Hehehehe I'm having visions of one of the keepers of the temple of elemental evil running down tactics in my head now. "Listen, theres this group of adventurers, they raid our temple, kill a bunch of our guards, and then teleport out before we can kill them. They've done this twice now. So...

    Rats

    Hate to tell you, but there are rats in Alaska too. What do you think arctic foxes eat? Heck, wolves eat them too. Rats might be rarer than mice, but that's not a reason to say "no" to a player wanting one, especially on something as harmless as a familiar.

    Should Drow be more "Norse" because of their origin?

    Oh gods... The google ad-link at the bottom of the page right now, i had to click on it... "Get 10 complimentary NORSE ringtones" Sadly, there was no Scandinavian war-chants to be found. Weighing in: Sure! make the drow norse! Though it would be a bit tough to go sailing across the ocean...

    What is the Answer to the Riddle?

    My inner-Igor wanted to make a half-baked guess about it being a minotaur who owns a BBQ joint and has had some "indiscretions" with the cattle, but yeah, I have to go with the "catholics at mass" thing.

    Why can't PRC's do the opposite? Maybe that's why they touch a nerve.

    I'm a bit confused: What exactly do you want? Base attack advancement? Skill points? Spell advancement? Skills available? If you answered "full, 8, full" and "all", Well, that just sounds like a munchkin talking. What exactly do you want from a "generalist"? The ability to do everything...
