    The DM's Percentage

    Hmmmm... As others have asked, what is originality? OOH: all ideas are inspired by experiences that we've witnessed, things we've learned, and facts we know. That means 0% to me. OTOH: everything I do in my game are my own tweaks, my own changes, my own assimilations, my own adjustments, my...

    Some other publishers are doing this too! Hey Destan and friends, I thought I'd let you folks know there's another product on D&D monsters already on the market that features round-by-round tactics for almost all 125+ critters presented: Dangerous Denizens: The Monsters of Tellene by Kenzer &...

    D&D 3.5 has arrived in Ottawa, ON, Canada!

    I don't know if I'm the first ENWorld member to see 3.5 in a store in Canada, but I got mine today! Woo-hoo! :) Fandom II, my FLGS in Ottawa is selling the PH + DMG + MM trio at $100.00 CDN. If you add tax it comes to $107.00 for the set. Otherwise they're charging $41.73 each book (that...

    [OT] To All Who Know Me ... Sad News

    Wow, Angelsboi... I just stumbled upon your thread this evening... I think it took an incredible amount of courage on your part to be so open about your life and your HIV status online (I visited your diary page) ... I think that's a good sign :) ; it tells me you are strong in spirit--I don't...

    What dragon are you?

    I am A Diamond Dragon on the inside... Although not a complete picture about moi, it is very uncanny how close to the truth about me it is... "In the war between good and evil, a Diamond Dragon tends to walk the fine line of Neutrality.... When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law...

    [OT] I bumped into Hellhound at my FLGS--had a premonition of it too!

    Premonition? Déjà vu? Or mere coincidence? I recently started work in downtown Ottawa, and, on my lunch break today, I walked over to my FLGS, called Fandom II, thinking along the way that it would be odd to bump into Hellhound and/or Dextra there. I don't know why this thought entered my mind...

    Are you glad that Increased Threat Ranges no longer stack?

    While it's true that 3.0 monsters, and perhaps 3.5 monsters, have weaker crit ranges on their attacks--don't PCs encounter NPCs quite frequently in most people's games? Aren't some of the most challenging or dramatic combats against powerful NPCs? I'm not going to pine about monsters when NPC...

    Are you glad that Increased Threat Ranges no longer stack?

    I would agree at low character levels, but once a party's average character level hits the high teens approaching 20th, I expect the melee oriented characters to routinely (say, 40% of the time) threaten criticals on their opponents... And the reverse is true too, "monsters" threatening PCs...

    [3.5] Rangers lose medium armor!

    Re: Re: Re: re Ripest class for "cherry-picking" re melee? Hmm, depends what you want to accomplish... Picking 1 to 2 levels of Barbarian looks rather ripe to me! :cool: Than the Ranger 3.0? This is a possibility, but until I see the final text with my own eyes (since context can still be...

    [3.5] Rangers lose medium armor!

    Animal Companion... There's something I don't understand with respect to combat concerns over the 3.5 Ranger vs the 3.5 Fighter: Why haven't ppl taken into account the ALL the class features when making comparisons? In melee, the ranger isn't alone--the class is calculated by design to operate...

    Happy Bday Morrus!!

    Woo-Hoo! Many, many happy returns on your birthday, Morrus! Hey, next year you will be celebrating you're 29th again, right? ;) And of course again the following year, and so on... So, I extend to you the following greeting: Welcome to the Perpetual 29 Club! I'm proud to say I've been 29...

    Psionics Handbook 3.5 Confirmed!

    Well if you do the math with today's exchange rates then you can figure out whether the price is fair or not. NOTE: While the Canadian dollar has gone up from 0.64 US$ to 0.74 US$, since the lower rate was rather steady the last few years, most non-Canadian publishers citing Canadian prices will...

    Impressions on 3.5?

    Yea, Henry! BINGO! Here all we are, taking the privilege and power of internet communication for granted... Our society is becoming more obsessed with speed and fast gratification! We want everything "yesterday"--and have the gall to demand things of our fellow human beings greater than a...

    Hey DM's, I have research question...

    One of my players has asked me is there exists any material for D&D regarding ablative effects on armor. More specifically, is there any effect through, spell, feat, or other special means that slowly wears down a target's AC with each successful hit? To elaborate, as a DM, I am introducing the...

    OT: gaymers?

    Hmm... I can can assure you that there is a small population of gaymers here at ENWorld... I see by your # of posts that you've been around the site for a little while. If you look carefully you'll find a few threads relating to gayming or gaymers (sorry, I don't have the time to search for the...

    Break like the wind..or Which Witch?

    I have the QW from Mongoose. It is a good resource. I am still tempted, if I have some extra $$, to pick up GR's book... However, my interpretation of the Witch is based upon the DMG's suggestion... IMO the Witch, like the Cleric, should not borrow too heavily from RL history. I don't see the...
