    Are Druids regarded as the most powerful class in 3.5?

    At third level, our Druid's animal companion was outshining me (a melee Paladin) in combat, and is pretty much the main tank. She took a wolf companion, and the added HD as a companion made it large size, with all that entails... PLUS the druid bonuses. The thing's a monster.

    Good Slaves?

    Living constructs and intelligent undead, depending on how much you can stand the smell. After that, any race with A: long life, B: a more lawful bent, C: low Wis or naturally low Will saves, D: High stats other than Wis, depending on the purpose of the slaves (basic laborers need high Str and...

    Andy Collins: "Most Magic Items in D&D Are Awful"

    Oh, this I rather like. If nothing else, just to avoid the "let's loot the magic shop!" scenario. I may have magic shops have an "on hand" limit about 1/10th (Maybe I'll tweak that. S'just off the top of my head.) the gp limit of the city that they're located in, too. It seems unreasonable...

    White Wolf can take their Web Extras & Shove it!

    Yup. An advertisement would've been for a for-pay product, not a web extra. So no ad there. But this thread isn't about other companies' faux pas, this is about White Wolf. What's unreasonable about the response here? Bitching on an on-line forum about it seems as reasonable a customer...

    Help me run Curse of the Mummy's Tomb!

    Alright, I'm going to run this in around an hour. Then I may scan and upload the maps, and maybe post a report if anyone cares. One is a handout sketchy map of the pyramid, the other is my DM map with the number key and all the secret doors and stuff marked.

    White Wolf can take their Web Extras & Shove it!

    I disagree. "Web extra" is common parlance for "free online material." Furthermore, at no point did White Wolf mention that the "web extra" was a for-pay product. That's deceptive, pure and simple.

    Help me run Curse of the Mummy's Tomb!

    Well after a marathon prep session that lasted from 4 pm yesterday evening till 6:45 am today (yeah, I have nothing better to do on a Friday night, sad ne?) I've got the game ready. Should be running it later today after I collapse into slumber. Here's everything I've got except for the maps...

    White Wolf can take their Web Extras & Shove it!

    I'll cop to that. Edge cases and read-don't-play discussions don't interest me anymore, but they're admittedly prevelant. In my case, however, I've run and played in numerous White Wolf games. The only one I didn't have a problem with was Adventure! but it's also the game I've the least...

    White Wolf can take their Web Extras & Shove it!

    I don't misunderstand. I just didn't want to get into a protracted discussion about it, which is what these things usually devolve into. Suffice it to say, I've had bad experiences with customer support on more than one occasion. I've received packages with missing material purchased direct...

    White Wolf can take their Web Extras & Shove it!

    That's okay. I'm not at all interested in garnering your respect for my opinions.

    White Wolf can take their Web Extras & Shove it!

    Not that it's pertinent, but I'm no longer an Exalted fan. I don't support White Wolf by encouraging others to not buy their products and I likewise do not avail myself of their services any longer.

    White Wolf can take their Web Extras & Shove it!

    It's the decision of the savvy and informed consumer not to buy anything White Wolf sells.

    What I Learnt From Last Night's Session

    Buy better mounts, barding, etc. You did notice barding is just like regular armor only tailored for horses, right? That means you can buy magical barding. Additionally, cast spells on your horses. Worried about fireballs? How about some protection from fire love? Seriously, if having a...

    What tricks do you use to cut down on NPC prep time?

    What tricks do you use to cut down on NPC prep time?

    Don't multi-class them unless absolutely necessary. Don't Template them unless absolutely necessary. Likewise, don't Template AND Multi-class them at the same time or you're in a world of hurt. Give them a generic package of gear from either the DMG or the PHB2. Add in one or two unique items...

    Help me run Curse of the Mummy's Tomb!

    Afraid not. All I've got access to right now is the core set and PHB2 and DMG2.

    Help me run Curse of the Mummy's Tomb!

    Okay, game's on Sunday and I'm having some writer's block. In particular, coming up with interesting / memorable rooms (and a map layout! Argh) and Encounters. So please, brainstorm away at me. I could use ideas. Especially for rooms to put in a pyramid or appropriate dungeon maps. Another...
