Hmm. I've really enjoyed the run up to this point, but this joke didn't sit too well with me. Daniel

:eek: Wall of Thorns is the one druid spell that I've voluntarily dropped from my spell list as too powerful (no save, no SR, extremely difficult to get free from)--and that remains true as a level 17 druid. Having it at first level is incomprehensible. Daniel

Excellent--reservations made, and that leaves Alma Borghoerssoen or however you spell that freakin last name as a drop-in character. (Alma had some of the best lines the first time I ran the game, too!) Edit: Looks like Alma's taken now, too. Yay! I just printed up some extra stuff, and I'm...

I miss him oodles. Daniel

Okay, I'm gonna steal a page from Belen and post the character descriptions for my game (Snakes on a Zeppelin) here, since I'm still short two players. Luis Hidalgo is spoken for, but the rest are up for grabs. Alma Borgherssoen You were just seventeen when World War I broke out, but when...

That surprises me, and shows a difference in play strategy. For me, I want my character sheet to contain enough info aobut the character that I almost never need to refer to a book. That means that I need to have info about each spell the character will cast--range, any save, spell effects...

Tequila, are you trying to come up with a class comparable in power to the other D&D classes? Because I read this class as having the following disadvantages compared to a mage: 1) No familiar. 2) No bonus feats at 5, 10, and 15. The class has the following advantages: 1) Access to all spell...

You can tell that I haven't turned to the dark side because I'm not just deleting your post and am instead shaking my fist at you and shouting, "KHAN!!!!" Daniel

:D Infiniti FTW! My recommendation is to use Rich Burlew's excellent polymorph rules. I've used them as a high-level druid for several levels. DOWNSIDES: 1) Shapechange is significantly less powerful, as is changing into an elemental form. 2) It is a royal pain in the keister to write up a...

Interesting, Machiavelli--thanks! Some comments: 1) It's divine energy, not arcane, that I'm using--but that's just nitpicking :). 2) I think you're right that the range should be touch and the duration instantaneous. 3) I'm not sure about the dynamic for a save. First, the ritual ties the...

Lemme see: TABLE OF CONTENTS: Character stats, skills, feats, saves, equipment, etc.: 1 Character spells: 2-3 (landscape, includes one-line descriptions of how each spell functions; also includes one-shot items and items with charges or daily uses) Animal companion: 4 Wildshape forms: 5-10...

In our game, the evil Wakyambi elves enslave spirits and humanoids using demon-tainted crystal shards hammered into their victims' foreheads: those bearing such a crystal are absolutely dominated (i.e., will stomp on puppies, sell their grandmother into slavery, anything), and it's an arduous...

That's actually a pretty good point. I'd prefer an enemy spellcaster use her turn to cast a ninth-level spell to have a chance at countering my own ninth-level spell than to use her turn to take over the party's barbarian or to cast meteor swarm at me or to cast shapechange. That would be a...

At GenCon I played in a round-robin game with Cthulhu's Librarian, Buttercup, Nareau, and a few others. I was playing a swashbuckling fighter. One member of the party was captured by a Hill Giant, so we went to investigate. A big fight followed, and the hill giant was trouncing our level 5...

I'm sorry Nakia can't make it, but thrilled I got his slot. Party's happening Friday night, per usual, is that right? I'm pretty sure Nareau and I will be able to make it. Daniel

Woot--I just got a seat in Rel's game! And Rel, I'm reserving Luis for you. Sekeeta or Templetroll, do you have character preferences? Daniel

I read this right before going to work this morning, and was laughing loudly as I got ready. V rocks my world--that was an awesome last panel! Daniel

A long series of mishaps involving undead left sides of corpses, spellcasting parrots, featherfalling merchants gently floating down a cliff face while calling out in alarm, and flying camels (all this was in a fairly serious game--I toldja they were mishaps) ended with my killing the undead...

I've run the game 1 1/2 times (the second time was with my young cousins over Thanksgiving, and we had to quit due to time constraints about halfway through). Luis has been played both times, and he was played in completely different ways each time. He's pretty fun. Saul only showed up in the...

I just put up the characters for Snakes on a Zeppelin (only the backgrounds--I'll send people links to their characters once they're chosen). I'm not sure if this link will take you to the descriptions, but it's worth a shot. Daniel
