I've got a bit of a silly question concerning this set (and several of the more recent ones). Our group purchased the first 4 sets way back when. Then we stopped, as we had what we needed for the most part. Recently, we picked up the Wilderness Master set and were looking to get this set. But...

You bring up an interesting problem vis-a-vis melee attacks. However, in my original post I pointed out that the player in question was going for the archery feats. Others have provided options for the melee attacks which should work out. It does appear that the scout has an easier time...

You are correct. I misspoke when I typed that in. We had actually clarified that rule as well about 3 sessions ago. I'm afraid I was suffering from C.R.A.F.T. when I typed that! :lol: From what I have read on this thread, the consensus appears to be the following: 1) My interpretation of the...

Yes and no. The way I read it, you can take a 5 foot step pretty much any time. We allow that, provided you do not provoke an attack of opportunity. So, in most cases, if the scout wishes to melee an opponent, he would move, attack, then 5 foot step straight back, hopefully out of reach...

Greetings all. I'm looking for a bit of input here. A question came up in our last session concerning the Scout's Skirmish ability and how it works with additional attacks. This is 3.5 Edition. Basically, the player believes that once he can make additional attacks in a round, he automatically...

We used the old chart from Dragon back in the day. But it was too wacky. So now we go with a DC15 reflex save (3.5 edition). If you save, you've simply missed your attack that round. If you fail, you've dropped your weapon nearby and can retrieve it next round and attack (AoO may apply). If you...

My kids are a bit too young yet. My sister could care less. My wife doesn't mind, as long as the scheduled day doesn't conflict with her work schedule, and my folks have always felt I was a bit squirrelly, so never said anything about it. :lol: Unfortunately, your poll doesn't cover my "all...

My group is currently playing a campaign like this. The entire group asked to play evil characters (I'm the DM) and I agreed, provided we set out some rules and understanding at the beginning. 1) No inter-party killing. Evil doesn't mean stupid. 2) Have a goal. World domination? City...

How often do you game together? If you game frequently (2 or 3 times a month), try just taking a month off and not playing anything. Let someone else run your character for that time frame and take some time to play some video games, read, go to the movies or whatever. That might be all the rest...

I'm not a 4e player, so WotC isn't going to make any money off of me, but this plan seems to be the way to keep the game alive and healthy. My heyday was late 80s, early 90s. I was in my teens and had some disposable income for the game. But I was still picky about what I bought for 2ed. I had...

Guilty of defending the Realms in the "dislike" thread. :D I just thoroughly enjoy the rich history and diversity of the setting. I love the fluff in the various splat books, as I feel I can read them for fun and not just to look up Rule X. To me, that sort of detail makes the Realms unique...

This I agree with. I stated earlier in this thread that WotC novels (heck, most novels written for RPGs, video games, TV series, etc) are similar to Harlequin Romance novels. The authors basically follow a simple template for plot progression and fill in the details with their choice of...

I was thinking on my way home about some of the points brought up by many here, and I'd like to touch on them a bit. Some have mentioned that they don't like all the "Good" or "Evil" organizations that seem to be all over the place. They feel there are just too many of said organizations for...

Thank you for the compliment. As to the second sentence, you're partially correct. I've house ruled away the uber NPCs. Doesn't mean the various other elements are gone. I still use the Zhentarim, Red Wizards, Harpers, etc. They're just toned down. I don't consider removing uber NPCs to be a...

I'm probably going to get dumped on for this, but here goes. I like the Realms. Yup, I said it. I like the Realms. My group has played in the Realms for the last 20 years. I've got the majority of books/supplements/boxed sets that have been published with the exception of the 4ed stuff...

One of the funniest/stupidest things I've seen came in a campaign a few years back. I was DM. The start of the campaign was less than heroic. The party is investigating the disappearance of a friend in a small town and stumble upon some cultists. They confront them in a warehouse and are forced...

Another epic fail from my group from 2nd Ed years. Mixed party, and the fighter/mage has an almost full Helm of Brilliance. Don't remember why or how, but he had it. Well, party is roughly 15th level and fighting the BBEG at the end of the adventure. Some over powered Ice Devil, if I remember...

Back in 2ed days, I was running H1 BloodStone Pass at the group's insistence. Since they were high level, the player playing the mage requested that his Staff of the Magi be a brooch instead. Since we started the characters at 18th level, I allowed that he had "created" it himself. We also had...

You know, from a DM point of view, having "consistency" from one campaign to another certainly makes it easier to plan out a campaign. For example, in my group, I have the following players: J - no matter what he plays, and it's usually a thief or fighter type, he always maxes out his fighting...
