This has been a really nice read... Ok, Buttercup, you've convinced me. I have been questioning my involvement in RPG's since I turned 40 late last summer... Feelings of sheepish embarrassment, asking myself "when are you going to grow up?", and all that rot... If gaming is going to help...

Regarding Rangers and their tracking speed... I am really unimpressed with Swift Tracker for the 3.5 Ranger. It's not refined enough for me, so I'm working with my house rules, and I will probably incorporate the new homebrew feats cited below in my game too. :) To start, this is what I did to...

Hmmm... After having a quick look in the DMG, I haven't found anything to confirm one way or another what happens in 3E if more than one potion is consumed at the same time... But if you're wondering what to do, consider this: potions are magic items, and can thus logically be treated like...

Hmm... A party of ten. The simplest way I could think of dealing with this is to split the group into 2 groups of 5 when calculating XP's. The 5 highest together, and the 5 lowest together... Perhaps one could use the same strategy when working with EL's? I think the game system permits...

Congratulations Pielorinho! While I'm not a fan of marriage for myself, I am always happy and impressed to see the joy in others when they make such a formal commitment. :) My parents, who were married in their mid-20's, celebrated their 55th anniversary just last March... Fifty-five years...

ENWorld's baaaack...... Congrats on the quick reconnection! I saw a post at Necromancer that spoke of an ISP company going broke and cutting off cyberstreet from the net... No ENWorld, and no Mortality.net :( Here. Ya know, whenever this site goes down, my initial, heart-stopping fear is...

If that's what Two-Weapon Fighting 3.5 will be, then that's good news then! :) Thanks, one less tweak for me LOL -W.

Good stuff! Nice! I like what I see :) Any thoughts about the handling of double weapons--like the classic: the quarterstaff--in comparison to handling two separate weapons? I was always disappointed that the quarterstaff seemed to get short changed in 3.0--too many penalties for such an...

I'd love to go and meet folks! :) But this weekend I can't... :( Say, isn't Can-Games around the corner? (May 16th-18th, Rideau Curling Club, here in Ottawa.) Anyone going to that? My impression is Can-Games caters mostly to a miniature gaming crowd... Since I'm new to Ottawa, I think I'll...

Generally I eat well, but during a game I'm in the mood for junk... Only one problem though: I usually DM, and with all the books, paperwork and keeping the attention of my players--I rarely have time to eat (let alone keep the crumbs outta my stuff if I do eat). Maybe a DM's bib would help...

Best of luck Eridanis! :) Have fun keeping things on an even keel... ;) Btw: you'll be happy to know your name has appeared to me before... as a large gas planet in an old sci-fi campaign I ran once long ago. Coincidence, "by jove"! :D Cheers, -W.

Ranger (not Evil) vs Paladin at 120' feet apart: would a forested terrain, property of an LG church say, with 50% of the area hallowed ground, be of help in such a test? :) (Or something like that; just a thought.) -W.

Pollster's update... Hi folks, as author of this thread, I realize that I could provide a bit more of an explanation about the intent of this survey: I am particularly interested to see if there are any trends or correlations regarding those who approve/disapprove. I was not after any measure...

I agree. I forgot about Faramir's men--excellent example actually! I have seen some ppl wishing to play a ranger that wields a greatsword, or some other large/impressive weapon(s), but I never felt it "fit" the idea of a bush warrior/skirmisher/woodsman/guerrilla... Wielding big weapons while...

I forgot... My own vote was to approve as a single, "active", adult male without kids. However, my approval is conditional upon the degree of the content--realizing this on my part, I will speculate that many ppl's approval would be conditional... I think, the degree of acceptable content is...

I realized that after the fact. :( When one creates the poll, the preview doesn't show the exact format. My thoughts were focussed upon the single, married, children, no children parameters, and I realized gender would be very interesting too--I guess I need to take a course in survey design! :)...

I had considered the neutral response... I would have liked to include it but there is a size limit to the number of questions at 20, no? There were other statistics I was looking for that I wanted to see--the neutral response was thus not offered. Sorry about that. :) However, if there are...

Okay Eric. That's too bad that the other thread had to be shut down... On behalf of much concern I would then ask everyone to keep things as clinical and clean and apolitical as possible! Let's stick to the numbers and our observations, not the personal politics--PLEASE! Thank you :) Merak...

With the recent banter about the Book of Erotic Fantasy, I think it would be interesting to launch a poll on the subject of eroticism in publications for our hobby--in particular D&D... I am curious about how ppl respond to this issue in general with respect to their own personal situation...

If this is true I'll wager the mature advisory is both a marketing ploy and a statement that the content covers moral and religious material discussed in full adult language--using a very academic and intellectual vocabulary on subtle and profound philosophical concepts that would be beyond the...
