    Is there a d20 publication out for modifying somatic components for spells?

    Sorry Storyteller, I didn't intend that post to be as harsh as it came out... though it would do Simon Cowl proud. ;) As far as I know, while there might be a "true language" of magic, I do not believe there is a "true gesture" of the same concept. If worse comes to worse, just adapt the...

    Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 4

    Yeah, and the "aggro" (challenge) ability is self-jinxing, since you can't aggro anything that is less than 2 CR's below your level (which means: DM's should begin running large groups of weaker monsters if they want to stop the Knight) Still, it's rough going trying to take down the knight...

    Feeding/watering mounts and beasts of burden (or a 12,000 lb lizard?)

    Actually, there's a point you should notice... this is a lizard. Reptiles eat 1/20th the amount that mamals of the same size consume. You think i'm crazy. I know. But here's why. Reptiles are coldblooded, and have very, VERY low metabolisims. I would like to point out Pythons, which...

    Which alignment would kill the frenzied berserker in his sleep? Choose all that apply

    LG: "My one time friend has become a danger to himself and others! His bloodthirst knows no limitations! I fear this may be the only sollution." (draws Mercy Dagger) "Go gently, friend." (STABITY!) LN: "His rages frighten me! before there was a savage pleasure in his rage, but now, only...

    At what level do you start your campaigns?

    I've been in games that started at levels 3, 5, and 10... and because of that, i will allways start at level 1. It gives players so much to look forward to! and typically, level 2 comes by the 2nd game session. it gives the players a such a sense of accomplishment.

    PCs in love -- gender and the NPC connection

    I've said it before. "Theonly thing sadder than never getting laid in real life, is getting laid in D&D." It's highly uncomfortable to RP a romance in... well, let's just say it's uncomfortable under any circumstances. I mean, An NPC is going to be controlled by your GM... (this is him...

    How many times...?

    (sigh) Yes. Let's run through this with a little teleplay... Crazy Old lady: Millenium Hand and Shrimp! (throws garbage at party) REALLY Good PC: "Gracious, what ever is the matter with that old woman?" KINDA good PC: "Argh! please stop doing that!" (makes diplomacy check) Neutral, leaning...

    Resource sought: Actual bard songs/poems made for in-game use

    Oh no. I don't want my bard players to sing. I've heard them sing, I have no interest in hearing it again. This isn't Eberron Idol, It's D&D. If the GM really needs an in-game song, try just writing some free-verse poetry and reading it gently.

    Tell me about Affiliations

    You'd probably never need a slave/criminal ranking (unless people could advance their way out of slavery / criminal status) . There's a great example of how to run a simple Kingdom / civilization level affiliation within the "Castle Mairo" affiliation. There you start with basic "free citizen"...

    Where be the single-classed goodness?

    Easy answer? A cleric can perform more Miracles per day than a wizard can cast Wish.

    Where be the single-classed goodness?

    Okay, assume we make it clear to 20th level. I'd have to go with the Knight. Why? easy answer: nigh-immortality. The knight's "loyal beyond Death" ability allows him to continue fighting, reguardless of how many hit points he's lost, just as long as he keeps spending challenge points for...

    When PCs activate their Self Destruct sequence

    Seen it? Heck, I DID it! I was playing a monk in a campaign where it was pretty clear that my character concept didn't fit the outside world. (I was being a bit of a loonie, and created a monk who wanted to be the ultimate blacksmith, but the GM was running a very, dead serious campaign, and...

    Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 3

    It's still 2-20 damage for a 1st level character. there is no other character that can replicate this level of damage at that point in the game, or for several levels after that... Most things you fight at CR1 happen to have (at most) a +0 will save. Just because you have a foolish character...

    Tell me about Affiliations

    Affiliations are a great way to ground players in the reality of their setting. I'll give you a basic overview (without copying directly) as a means of explaining. There are two basic kinds of affiliations: Social affiliations, and Racial affiliations. Social affiliations are people with a...

    Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 3

    I find it interesting that there is a noticeable number of people that seem to dispise the knight and Dragon shaman (really, i don't have any problem with either class, i've DM'd them both, and played one) However, out of all books provided, I see that the PHBII is possibly the strongest...
