    Sharing the DM role with the unconverted

    I think I can persuade him to adopt the changes to the classes. Other than those, what other rules do you think would be most important? I'm thinking the changes for Spot (Read Lips), Bluff (Innuendo), Survival (Intuit Direction), and Jump are important, as well as the spells. Am I forgetting...

    Sharing the DM role with the unconverted

    By the way, does anybody know where I can find that thread that listed all the changes from 3.0 to 3.5? I need to give that link to my co-DM

    Sharing the DM role with the unconverted

    I'm starting a campaign in which I will alternate with another player as the DM. This has its complications of course, most of which are manageable. But the main problem is that this guy does not want to upgrade to 3.5. He doesn't seem to object to my introducing certain changes. But it...

    Tell me about your druids

    Could you explain how the high wisdom score would benefit you in combat? I had been thinking that it is not really that important to have a super high wisdom. Just high enough to be able to cast your spells . . .

    Tell me about your druids

    Now THAT is a creative character. I love the sense of humor. I once thought about a dwarf druid who had very strong notions about architecture. To him, it was just NOT okay to cut stones into bricks to build huge unnatural structures. Better to just pile up stones and mud into natural...

    Tell me about your druids

    It's interesting that humble minion put his two highest scores in strength and dex, while Vymair put the highest scores in Int Wis and Con. One druid I played in 3.0 had pretty low Dex and Str because I figured I would be doing a lot of combat in animal form, so those scores would not matter as...

    Tell me about your druids

    I'm creating a druid character and I am very excited about it, except for one thing: I like to feel like my character is archetypal but also at the same time unique. I don't want to be just exactly what people expect a druid to be. So, I thought it might help to hear some of people's various...

    Bashing two heads together - how would you do it?

    Just because she can't do two attacks in one round doesn't mean she can't do what she wanted. I think I would have her grapple each enemy separately (taking two rounds), and then use the rules for inflicting damage in a grapple. I don't know what I would have done though, if I had to come up...

    A non-spellcasting ranger

    I should have realized that the people who are likely to read and respond to this thread are likely to be the same people who responded to the other threads. I tend to over-estimate the numbers of people who peruse the House Rules boards. With that apology . . . the reason I started a new...

    A non-spellcasting ranger

    Bump So . . . what else should I add, to compensate for the loss of spells?

    A non-spellcasting ranger

    I just don't like the idea of rangers casting spells. Maybe you do, but I'd like to present a slightly altered ranger for my players. What do you think? Ranger (non-spellcasting) In place of spells, add bonus feats at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20. These feats must be selected from among the...

    Did you say PLUS FIVE?!? Wow. By the way, got any plus five longswords on your bargain rack?

    What are you going to do with the map and tiles in your DMG 3.5?

    Re: Re: What are you going to do with the map and tiles in your DMG 3.5? You may very well be right about what WoTC was aiming at. But since you're one of the "experienced", how can I get a look at these Chessex and Crystal Castle battlemats? The only thing I have is an erasable blank...

    What are you going to do with the map and tiles in your DMG 3.5?

    I agree with Pogre's agreement. And I second (or third) the motion that WOTC should make them downloads. I think they would be really handy, but WoTC should know that gamers are fetishists about their books and other gaming paraphernalia.

    What are you going to do with the map and tiles in your DMG 3.5?

    Yeah, I guess they aren't compatible with hexes. But let's not get into a debate about hexes vs. squares. I honestly can't figure out how these things were intended to be used. They aren't perforated, to be easy to tear out, but that seems like what you would almost have to do in order to...

    "Background" skill points at Level 1

    I didn't realize anyone else did this, other than me. But maybe I got the idea from someone else and forgot that it wasnt mine originally. Anyway, I tried the idea for a while (4 points for a craft or profession), but eventually i decided it didn't really add anything. I stopped using it...

    What are you going to do with the map and tiles in your DMG 3.5?

    Are you going to photocopy them, or just pull them out and try to take care of them. Some copy places, like Kinko's, can make excellent color copies, but I'm not sure I would trust them to do it right and not break my binding. On another note, do you think you'll use the tiles very much, or...

    Half Lycanthrope

    I don't like it. Another strange misbread. Stick with the archetypes!
