One of these days, i'd like to see Rich release the official Stats of the OotS crew, complete with smudges on V's character sheet where you fill in "gender" and Belkar's Alignment.

Here's the lowdown: IN REALITY: Ninjas were commoners who were displeased with the government's disarming them, which is why they learned to fight with a myriad of ordinary things used for agriculture: such as Grain flails (Nunchucks), Scythes (Kama), and Bo staffs (long pieces of bamboo). If...

Must have been hard to pour a bucket of water on those two when they got at it...

Nooo... Munchkins inherently get away with everything they are capable of doing. That's pretty damn munchkinny. Bear in mind though, at the level you are discussing, your opponent wins initiative, drops a quickened "Force cage" and "Dimensional Anchor" on you. No save for either. Suddenly...

Occasionally, I'll play a PC who starts at an advanced age. My last monk was 35 at the start of the campaign (ten years older than me). It's not a terribly appealing option for starting characters, because it imposes a significant penalty for a slightly increased starting mental stats.

Hey kids! Insert your own rant about how this is just a simulation of breakfast, and not the actual consumption here! Seriously, I mean, can we expect all the module designers to be universally educated in all cuisines? So it was a rookie mistake. Just substitute proper ingredients where it...

hmm, i should probably stick with the Dire Boar i picked. Incedentally, the false-Xykon are nothing to sneeze at, i mean, we're looking at these three

dude! what level do I have to be to get a dire wolf pokemount?

He's been dead 30 years (his duration as a lich) which leads me to believe that he's WELL past the sixth stage of decomposition (Dry decay). The fact that he's an intelligent undead might have aggravated the decomposition process a mite bit. I mean, mom tells you not to pick at it...

and diaglo wins the thread before it even begins. Well done sir!

Even better Quaziquest: "The empty husk of a Umberhulk" no internal goo, just the re-animated withered shell, like the corpse of a dead bumblebee that's been curled up inside a window frame for a month.

It's that +4 Buckler the DM is really sweating. By level 10, you've got, average, less than a 4% chance of getting a +4 magic item.

My players had real trouble with the dread pirate Crunch's milk-resistant berry elementals. I'm not sure if Wizards intentionally screwed up the CR's on all the soggies, or if the players were just hindered by skipping the seemingly optional side quest for the special surprise inside. Though...

regarding Darkness-critter (He's a GRUE!) I don't believe he's actually that stupid (no, wait, a Wumpus!) but i DO believe he has significant... perception problems (a kender?). He seems to continuously fail Spot, and Listen checks, (a flumph!) but at the same time he has demonstrated tiny...

I'm going to buck the d20 loving trend here and reccomend a different system... A VERY different system. the One Roll Engine supports a phenomenal game called Wild Talents. It is a suprisingly gritty superheroes game. it's default setting Godlike is one where at the 1936 olympic games, a...

Hmm... Growlf dragons, Jägermonsters, King of all cats... You know, just as soon as the Girl Genius RPG goes to print, i'm going to enjoy playing it.

Nevermind: Monster Manual Two, Fiend Foglio, and Book of Vile Darkness...

Anyone care to quote the monster manuals where I can find these guys? They Eye of Flame and Fear sounds awesome :)

Depends on the ruleset... last time I played, every time you had your sword connect, you were supposed to say "Damage seven! Slashing!" (Or as the werebunny used to say: "Damage one! Tickle!") I think it went: "Damage (number)! (Type)!" And you had to keep track of your own hit points on a...

I had a GM that ran that way. She thought it added more drama to the fights. I was often confused as to who we were fighting and why. Finally, i started writing down a spreadsheet, after three sessions i showed her.
