    3.0 Druid Help

    Didn't notice this before the weekend, so it might be kinda late, but: The stats look fine, though better Str would be adviseable if you're starting at low level without Wild Shape (unless you intend to have your animal companions do all the fighting for a few levels, with a bit of spell/ranged...

    question about feat

    Besides the possibility of using Sidestep Charge or Hold the Line or Defensive Throw for trip attempts, you could take Martial Study (from Tome of Battle) to learn the 1st-level Setting Sun maneuver Counter Charge, which lets you oppose an opponent's charge with something similar to a trip...

    X-Men Destiny disappointment

    Ugh, what a ripoff. I pre-ordered the game and can't believe I paid 60 bucks for this thing. I finished my first play-through in about 8-10 hours, over the course of Tuesday night and Wednesday night (was busy during the day). Sure I could replay it on the other two difficulty settings, but...

    D&D 3.x Anybody still playing 3.0 (not 3.5?)

    Oops, brain fart from running too many different versions and going off memory. :) Pathfinder session tomorrow! .....and yet, I'd still prefer to be playing/running 3.0. Though I wish more spells from 1E/2E got updated/reprinted for 3.x. And I miss the longer spell names......Tasha's...

    D&D 3.x Anybody still playing 3.0 (not 3.5?)

    Viva la 3.0E! I would be playing 3.0 still, if I could find anyone else running it. :-/ But it seems like all the gamers I know apparently got rid of their 3.0 books after switching to 3.5, so I've been outta luck. I still have my 3.0 books (and very little of 3.5), and I've still tried to...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini Gemini blinks and gawks as the colossal machine doesn't even seem fazed by the entire group's barrage of fists, flames, and projectiles, even the ones that were exceptionally well-aimed. "Ohhhh-kaaaayyyy........ I....don't think we can......defeat this......mechanical...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini Gemini chants and gestures to hurl a Fire Bolt of his own at the giant robot, stepping back a bit as he does so. A moment later, the Helis-lookalike Gemini launches a Toxotes attack at the robot...... Attacking as indicated above. The penalty for shooting into melee is already...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini Gemini follows the others into the room once the portal is open, and he recasts the protective barrier spell around himself just in case. He's not really tech-savvy enough to deal with the AI that seems to be in place here, so he just waits to see what happens....... And suddenly...

    Righteous Wrath

    Rooting for Moxie Yeah, just noticed the thread, and I wish your kitten well. Glad to hear/see that at least Moxie has gotten a little better so far. Should definitely see the technician's boss about it though. That tech shouldn't be working in any veterinary capacity or raising kittens if...

    What're You Reading for September?

    This month, I've started reading The Book of Lost Tales I in the "History of Middle-Earth" series, having finished re-reading The Silmarillion last month and finishing The Children Of Hurin earlier in the summer. Also read the Brightest Day: Green Lantern TPB at the start of the month, and will...

    Do you like Mountain Dew?

    DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! :D I had a cup or two with breakfast, and a 1-liter bottle of Dew with lunch at the mall today. Granted, sweating my ass off in the Arizona heat had something to do with drinking a whole liter in one sitting. But I still drink probably half a...

    Help - New Blinding look?

    Huzzah! My retinas will thank you as soon as they've recovered from the searing white background. At least now the brighter colors used by some of us in PbP and other threads over the past several years will no longer be invisible, with the good ol' dark background restored. Needing to change...

    D&D 3.x 3E D&D Aurelia setting & houserules material (now with magic items!)

    The rest of the batch The rest of the new magic items from that batch. WEAPON SPECIAL ABILITIES Guided Any weapon with the Guided ability may strike true with uncanny precision. Such weapons have tiny arrowheads of magnetic metal grafted onto them or instead have eagle feathers attached. Up...

    D&D 3.x 3E D&D Aurelia setting & houserules material (now with magic items!)

    More magic items More magic items from that batch. Also, note that some of the spells among my magic items are drawn from sources like Tome & Blood, Defenders of the Faith, Masters of the Wild, or the like (and the same goes for magic weapon abilities like Merciful and Vicious). STAVES Staff...

    D&D 3.x 3E D&D Aurelia setting & houserules material (now with magic items!)

    Further Aurelian Magic Items And here's another batch of magic items, some involving Aurelian spells and feats already posted in this thread (and possibly a few that I haven't posted here yet). I'll move these around into the previous few posts later, so all the weapons will be together, all...

    D&D 3.x 3.5e 5-10th level campaign & fighter mage

    Resist Energy is so much more useful than Fire Trap or Jump, though. Blade of Blood is handy if you have some healing available afterward, probably should be taken instead of Stand, and Resist Energy instead of Swift Expeditious Retreat (or at least save SER for Duskblade 2; you might need...

    pneumatik's WotBS 3: Shelter from the Storm

    Liiros Tivaniel Liiros finally speaks up, still wary of this stranger and whoever it is that sent him. "Sure, we could do that...." Still here, just not bothering to visit the site much while this stupid blinding color-scheme is dominant, and won't stay black unless I stay permanently logged...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    "Well, we don't have much choice now, since we gotta stuff the big gizmo in there. Or......do you think you could squeeze through and make a portal in there, Sorceress? Would that hunk of junk Brick's been carrying fit through your portal?" Gemini says.

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini Gemini's 'brother' carries some of the supplies, but the two Geminis are silent for awhile as the group makes their delivery. Finally, as Chloe leaves them to go through some narrow pipe, Gemini asks "Aaand how, exactly, are we to expand the pipe? Or is it safe to just smash through at...

    Forked - Level-Based Systems and Non-Heroic PCs

    Yeah, definitely. I've known DMs who always start games at 1st-level (and rarely run the campaign for more than a few levels, if even that), and others who start things off at 3rd or 7th level but quickly drop the game. And other groups who manage to keep the game going for a few months or a...
