    Do you want to hear about my character?

    One of the incarnations of pun-pun. This one happens to involve a kobold artificer, the books of Vile Darkness and Exalted Deeds, three crafted spells, three henchmen, and a bucket of water. Artificer (at 3rd level) Crafts one one-use objects that does each of the following: -Cast "delay...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Really, Really old story. Minotaur character, in a Spelljammer game. He happened to be a cleric of the goddess of luck, who had bestowed upon him the ability to change the outcome of any ill fortune once per day, by virtue of a coin flip. Heads: ill fortune was reversed, tails, ill fortune...

    Tome of Battle - Are they serious?

    "Dragonball" (not Z) is from 1984. That's when the comic first started appearing in Shonen Jump. So if there IS a "dragonball era" it's having a heck of a good run. Me? I like to think we're moving into a "Ghost in the shell" era. Players are more interested in getting stealthier. Sure...

    Rule Changes That Affect Your Plot (or, 3.5 and the Simulacrum War)

    In the course of my games, the only rules change that has ever directly impacted anyone was one player who started a scout the day the Complete Adventurer came out. She rolled up a character good for the party, ad assigned all skill points. a session or two in, she realized, she could DETECT...

    Should Campaign Settings include a metaplot?

    Okay: I voted in favor of the metaplot, but I want one thing made clear, the metaplot should not drive NOR inhibit the characters actions. I remember feeling helpless as an unregistered wizard in dragonlance. I had to sit back and watch while an entire army was addresed by the evil female...

    Is there a d20 publication out for modifying somatic components for spells?

    Here, let me help you folks. There is a book outh there which gives a sorcerer (or wizard) the ability to enact an Energy Substitution feat simply by changing their spell components. THere is another ability (High draconic) which allows spellcasters to significantly improve their arcane spells...

    Escaping from combat, or keeping villains alive

    My last campaign featured an end-battle in a small tower room. there were two exits, one lead to a balcony (and the exterior spiral stairway up) and the other lead to the interior (and a stairway down.) The BBEG was a pretty powerful sorcerer with magic item that made him even more powerful (a...

    How often do you reset?

    lessee... the last two campaigns I DM'd each ran for about nine months, meeting weekly. so... yeah, i'm voing 31+

    Whose PC is this?! Denounce yourself!

    The woman is none less than the ever-so-forgetful Favored soul played by my dear friend... i believe the character's name was "Puffy", (as in "hihi Puffy Ami Yumi"). She was prone to declaring things "kawaii" and bouncing like a giddy schoolgirl. Among her other outfits include a maid's...

    Your Favorite RPG Supplement, for any Game, Period

    I'm probably going to get laughed off the list for this but... <i>"Shadow of the Spider Moon"</i> the Spelljammer universe.

    Where is the were-wolverine?

    yeah, he had a bad mushroom addiction, and a phobia of snakes. :)

    Where is the were-wolverine?

    no judgement here Zzyzx. The were-wolverine would probably be a chaotic neutral beastie. very posessive of it's territory.

    Tome of Battle - Are they serious?

    (shrugs) In the real world, Bruce Lee perfected a technique called the one-inch punch. With it, he was able to, with only a single inch of movement, strike a man so hard that they would be knocked backwards. At the time, people called it superhuman. claimed it would never be duplicated. Now...

    Designing a Raven(Teen Titan)-esque Character

    mmm... allright, here's a short list of powers Raven is known to manifest, in the teen titans cartoon at least... -Telekinesis (as little as Mage hand weight, as much as throwing a bus around) -Teleportation, and group teleportation -Interdimensional travel -Assorted "shields", in wall from...

    The imprisonment, consumption & obliteration of souls and the campaign’s tone

    I'm probably a bad DM for admitting this... but... I've never had a character be ressurected, reincarnated, or any of that jazz. Equally, my players tend to be too interested in THIS plane of reality to try adventuring in any of the other planes. They've never drawn from the deck of many...

    The Elegance of d20 and D&D

    hmmm... how can I put this... I am fond of that old adage of engineers. "I can do it fast, I can do it cheap, and I can do it well. Pick two." In this case... "You can play Elegant, you can play cinematic, you can play Robust. Pick Two and fake the third."

    I've given up on WotC's message boards. What about you?

    to be honest, i've NEVER gone to WoTC's message boards. So, i went there today to see what was going on... It seemed that everything was locked down, and I found this meassage:

    Monstrous Healers

    The problem is that healing monsters can drasticly alter the percievable CR of an encounter. Seriously, try adding a single level of cleric to an orc, and using it as the group healer in a CR 5 encounter. and instead of removing downed orcs, keep track of their negatives, and have the cleric...
