Yes, I was only referring to unaided, non-magical healing. [Edit: And just to be clear about your post: the 4hp/day attended healing rate means you're not adventuring at all.] It came up in a game I was in a few years ago. A badly injured PC was separated from the party in the wilderness with...

I agree entirely with Celebrim and Dannyalcatraz but I also suspect that the reasons for the emergence of 4e and 5e, just as with editions beforehand, were business issues as much as anything else. New editions reinvigorate sales of the core game. Like Celebrim, I'm happy for those who get what...

Yes and that's assuming a full day and night of bed rest, as you say, or the healing rate is half that again.

Indeed. I thought the reference was to non-magical healing. In any event, with wands most PCs would require a UMD check, so not a given.

I don't understand this. How does a character fully heal any wound in one day in 3e?

The point is taken.

You've just recapped my favourite two rules from 1e!

Yup. Definitely an overhead in 3e that I'm pretty sure will be reduced in high-level 5e. True but it's just arithmetic. Never had much of an issue with it. This is irrelevant to me. I bought a couple of dozen 3e books but I've only used fragments of four or five (I never even used the DMG's...

Thanks so much for those. They all made me chuckle but the last one brought tears to my eyes.

You only gain spell casting as a human paragon if you were a spell caster previously. And then the character would require a two-level dip into the human paragon class.

In just about every game I've played missing has been part of the fun. Missing has added drama in fights that go to the wire. Missing has had us cracking up when it was almost impossible to miss a large, immobile target and the fighter has rolled a one (and then the DM has concocted a sublime...

I swear, titles like that never work on me, unless… I can't think of a direct solution to your conundrum but there are a couple of feats in Complete Mage that might go some way to getting what you want. The Fey Heritage and Fey Presence feats (and their fiendish equivalents) grant SLAs...

That's one way to go and it's a perfectly good one. Alternatively, you can ban PrCs. I have done since day one and never regretted it. In the case of the MT, though, the feat isn't a problem. It doesn't qualify you for the PrC. It gives you a second level spell slot when you cannot yet cast...

No you couldn't. You couldn't care less. That's what you mean. Do you think by saying that you could care less you're being ironic? The only irony is that you're not. Just say, "I couldn't care less," please. The construct you're using simply doesn't work on any level and should be taken out...

That takes me back. I did a similar thing with Neopaint on an Atari ST linked by composite video lead to a 26" CRT TV when I was running Shadows in Traveller (for the zillionth time). Anyway… I don't have any of the books yet but I will get them; I've seen enough that I like in the previews...

3.5's Darkness spell made areas that were already pitch black lighter and made it more difficult for for creatures with Darkvision to hit their opponents. I vaguely recall some tortured thinking being hauled out in the change's defence but I stuck with 3.0's version. If they'd called the spell...

D&D, the game that gets people snorting in the gutter. What? It's true.

For some people it's a case of want, not need. For them the system is irrelevant.

I was really looking forward to a digital 5e and keeping my fingers crossed for Trapdoor. However, now they've hinted at taking their development in a new direction following the demise of their relationship with WotC, I'm hoping you're right. A d20 SRD-based toolset with a user-friendly UI...

I always enjoy seeing an interpretation of Tharizdun, so thanks for that. You haven't given us a full D&DG-style write-up but there's enough to work with. It's interesting to compare your version with a write-up of the old nutter that appeared in Dragon 294. Your version is stronger in some...
