I'll assume that when you say he's focused on enchantments, you mean to imply that he actually specializes in it, so that he gets the bonus spells and other advantages. I personally hate the enchantment school, as almost everything has a save, and when the enemy saves, they usually suffer NO...

Please don't do this. If a DM hates something about a character, and yet allows it, and then undermines it, it creates huge ill-will. The player will fumble around for a while trying to make things work before realizing that he got ripped off and cannot do what he expects to do. If the DM...

Whoa, hey, hang on. We're all just having fun. True, irdeggman did miss that your post had text to deal with the fact that "at the beginning of the creature's turn" text is missing in some books. So yeah, it's a bit silly that he re-cited it to disprove your point. But readers can see that...

From what I can see, it also means that Fast Healing won't stabilize you if you go into negatives.

Oh my goodness. 8 characters is 4 more than most modules expect. And even if only half your players show up, they are still playing PCs that are 3 levels higher than Honor Among Thieves was made for. Wow, you'll really have to upgrade that module. Good luck. As for follow-up modules, what...

I would note that Dungeonscape has rules for "encounter traps" -- traps that generally require the whole party to disable. These traps make more sense to me when giving out XP awards. They all participate, they all get a share of the XP.

That feels railroady.

He is liked and admired by many people in the game. Not only would it get back to him, but odds are good he would just show up, as others would assume he was invited, and bring him. Also, his behavior sorta broke me. I just haven't wanted to restart after dealing with him. I'm sure I will...

I have an ex-girlfriend who had this problem, and it almost caused her to quit DMing. She was so excited to be running a game for the first time, and so she over-prepared, had friends review her custom-built module, etc. She put out the call for heroes -- good-aligned souls who would bring...

For what it's worth, D&D 3.5 edition has at least 1 feat that give you bonuses for collecting ears or teeth. So it's difficult to break people of the desire to do it when the game rules foster it. It doesn't sound like your players were familiar with that feat, though. Yeah, I experienced...

Game full. Thanks!

Zarndelius necro'd the thread. :( Regarding the Human Paragon question, you should note that the rules only set the skill to use the class skill cap -- buying ranks still costs double. So the Human Paragon ability is still awesome. In other words, say you have a rogue/fighter. The rogue...

Well... don't forget that a single harpy is CR 4/EL 4. Your first encounter was with 2 of them, so that's EL 6. And the encounter with 4 of them is EL 8. That is absolutely not appropriate for a 4th level party. Other single creatures that are CR 8/EL 8 include the Mohrg, which would...

D&D 3.5 Dingles Games

Dandu got it right, the link he provided is a popular build type. He also earlier mentioned the most popular way to build a bard -- have a laser-like focus on maxing out Inspire; give everyone in the party +lots to hit & damage. That's really, seriously good, and is the single best argument...

You're... writing that as if it's a rebuttal, but it was exactly my point. Bards need to be built correctly, and 99% of D&D gamers don't know how. Thus, bards have a reputation for sucking. But those of us who love CharOp are fine with this, because we love figuring out how to build a bard...

Bards do suck, as they should. A musician & storyteller shouldn't be able to hold his own with trained combat experts and spellcasters. And that's part of the allure in 3.5 edition, at least --in a game where CharOp was taken to a new level, it's a fun challenge for the pros to try to make a...

I'm running the "Into The Wilds" module that includes the goblins in the tree fort about 100' above the ground. They have walkways without railings. It seems obvious to me that there would have been a dead goblin or two from this danger. I'm interested in hearing about magic items in the DMG...

While I agree that there are no true rage feats in official WotC or Paizo books, there are some feats elsewhere that simulate it. For example, the feat "Pain Is My Friend" simulates a rage ability. It was originally from the Net Book of Feats, but now resides in the D&D Wiki. Here: Pain Is...

Ever since I participated in this thread: Old Mac Donald Had a Farm (But No Ranks In Knowledge: Nature) (3.5) - Giant in the Playground Forums ...I have been of the mind that Profession & Craft should confer some unwritten benefits. It seems absurd that a commoner with skills in Profession...
