    Are monster types balanced?

    Dunno... 5600 in gear is some good armor, a weapon, and quite a few potions of healing... the outsider still has a 10 AC, but the fighter could be wearing fullplate +1. and carrying a +1 weapon, and a shield, making him twice as hard to harm as the outsider, while giving him a slight...

    Are monster types balanced?

    Hi... Item: That 12 HD outsider? Yeah. He's a CR appropriate for an ADVENTURING PARTY of 6th level characters. Which mean he's going to be facing... oh, let's go with the clasics: 5 attacks per round. (fighter gets 2, rogue / mage / cleric get one each) POSSIBLY including 2 magical attacks...

    101 Unusual Encounters

    I hope i don't step on anybody's toes, but i saved this from before the wipe... 1. A small, lost, boy, looking for his dog. 2. A pocket of anti-gravity about 10 feet in diameter. 3. A group of loggers pulling a very, very large log. 4. Laughter fills the air. 5. Whispering fills the air...

    Putting Corpses in the Bag of Holding

    Blah, did it once, and the DM forced a bad taste in my mouth as a result. Our party's paladin fell in battle against a "Not Drow! Just a blue-skinned elf the GM home brewed" Ranger enemy NPC with favored enemy (elves). Oh, and the baddy was not "Evil" (in spite of having hos own race as a...

    [Poll] Rise From Your Grave

    no, see, this isn't "Do you allow it?" it's, "Has it ever happened?" I guess it's happened in your campaign though.

    [Poll] Rise From Your Grave

    Okay folks, it's bull time, resurrections, and play experience. So many people kvetch about "disrupting the narrative flow" and "in the literature" that it makes me vaguely ill. I just want to know. Have you seen one? Did it really break the game? Personally, I've never seen one in play, ever.

    OotS #417 is up!

    *sniff* so moving :) I've never seen percentages talked about in such a meaningful way :D

    Who's got the right stuff for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1990s?

    Not Harry Potter. Ron Weasly. He'd be following in the footsteps of other "Missed fame by this much" characters such as the original LXG's invisible man (Rodney Skinner instead of Griffin) and their vampire (Mina Harker)

    OotS 414

    Naw, in this strip we only have four ninjas, and each is wearing a different color Gi... (or so I hear, I can't see them either, but i have ranks in listen) So what we wind up with is a Sentai Group, which is immune to the Inverse Ninja Law... and they get to each summon a huge construct which...

    OotS #413 is up

    Still, the castle setup is sweet... What do you think that is: a paper castle or maybe some mageknight stuff?

    Unorthodox modern goths? How about a RPG on Subcultures instead?

    Got some more prestige classes for you: Elitist: (Hardcore / Indie) He's been following bands longer than you have, and he lets you know it. This guy knows bands that Haven't Formed Yet, including bands of enemies. He specializes in an extremely specific form of divination. Candy Goth: A...

    Undead supehero character needs development.

    Got a couple for you! There is Godlike, which is the VERY gritty superhero game set in a world where Supers are JUST emerging... and the first one?\, is a Nazi. Yep, it's gritty WWII with superheroes. Funny thing? the war doesn't change all that much. For those not familiar with the system...

    Thought Exercise - Alignments for Discworld characters

    Just want to point out: Vetinary has killed at least one person, as an assassin. AND he lead another to his death, as the ruler of the city. Remember "Night Watch", where Vimes is thrown back in time to become his own mentor? Yes. Havelock killed Lord Snapcase. And at the end of Going...

    Needs some lords of nightmares

    Bronze / low iron? 1. The Chase: An unidentified monster that lives to hunt. The Chase uses all manner of foul demonic tricks to gain ground on his enemies, including Time-perception dilating effects that cause his victims to feel as if they are running in slow motion, while he draws ever...

    Going to church? Don't forget your sawed-off shotgun!

    All seriousness though: I had a DM with a fondness for 3-AM wakeups too. 1st character? Dwarf Fighter, 3-am wakeup, no armor, killed by a troll. 2nd character? Elven Druid, 3-am wakeup call, no armor, no spells. killed by a giant spider. 3rd character? Human Cleric 3 / Wizard 3 / Mystic...

    The Genius of D&D

    Feng Shui: every player has 35 HP. Mooks get taken out on a successful result of 5 or higher. The biggest, toughest weapon in the game... does 13 damage. It takes three blasts with a shotgun to kill you. An un-wounded, sufficiently tough hero can be shot with a Shotgun, fall from the 10th...

    OotS 408...

    Could just be a conditional critical bonus on an undead-bane weapon. I don't think the undead-smiting will have any additional effect on her. Though, to be fair, Rich has stuck pretty darn well to 3.5 rules, but when it comes to weapons with bonuses over +5, all bets are off. this could be a...
