    Elves or Dwarves?

    Actually I find both about equally interesting. *shrug*

    Size change- What is it worth?

    I don't think going down below Medium should be negative LA except for the point when you can no longer attack 5 ft. away, as there are numerous benefits as you get smaller that come into play more often than the drawbacks. Think of it this way. How often do characters: Attack Get attacked...

    What language is the Common of our world?

    UTF-8 encoded XML is the universal language

    What do you do if you make a paladin and you roll, say, a 4.

    Seems like the obvious choice is Int. It's the only ability score that Paladins don't really utilize all that much. The skill hit sucks, but it's not really THAT big of a deal. You still have enough points to max out Ride and that's what's important. Contrary to what you say, I think Dex is...

    Bracers of Armor obsolete?

    I allow Sorcerers wo spontaneously cast metamagics with no casting time increase anyway. Works out without issue. Sorcerers are pretty shafted in general compared to Wizards.

    This [annoys me somewhat]

    Good to see Detroit made it to number 3. We've struggled with wounded pride over losing out on the most violent place in America to Camden, NJ a few years ago. We're still pretty high up there, though (#3) with the wonderful juxtaposition of having 4 of the 30 safest cities in the country...

    San Diego - Temp to Hire Gamer

    This weekend (Aug-18) I'll be leaving for a visit to San Diego for a month and, if all goes well, moving there. Any groups on the lookout for a new player?

    Do you fudge?

    During my current campaign I am not fudging at all. In other campaigns, I occasionally fudge to keep things at the right challenge for the story. If I have an adventure revolving around a stolen item (as an example) I might fudge his sleight of hand or move silently/hide. If the party if...

    Fonts

    When I first responded to this post, I wasn't at the right computer. Now I have the link I would have provided: http://creamundo.com/index.php?lang=en There are about 450 fonts there starting with the letter A. It's absolutely huge.

    So, you roll 6 18's.

    18 on 4d6, drop lowest = 21 in 1296 21 in 1296 ^ 6 = 85766121 / 4738381338321616896 Not quite never. Better than one in a trillion.

    Why do DMs have a rule regarding how much can be spent on one item?

    When I DM, players are generally expected to return wealth to the character's family. Lacking that, I usually try to come up with a reason to at least drop out any powerful magic items (or alternatively, remove an item from the player who receives said powerful magic item). This is very...

    How cheesy are the names of your locations?

    Avantage isn't an English word is it? That would explain why people confuse that one.

    How do we prepare to fight a dragon about which we know nothing?

    Same thing happened to me. I wouldn't have even come to this thread if the preview had been one word less or more.

    Party stuck on puzzle. Any ideas?

    It was the first thing that jumped out at me. It is extraordinarily common for puzzles to be mostly decoration. There is usually one thing to key in on in the puzzle, and a number is an obvious choice. When you start looking at numbers, you should start looking at other numbers, in this case...

    Dragons... has the icon been lost?

    I like my dragons either scheming or aloof. They are extraordinarily intelligent, but they primarily use this to play games. These games involve controlling nations from the sidelines and manipulating other intelligent beings to do their work for them. Basically, they are powerful, but...

    Is this the benefit of an R&D department

    I wish it were wrong, because I would like to think that people are not that receptive to thinly veiled marketing gimmicks. In addition, this type of design work is what keeps me away from Wizards books. I like to see variety, and Wizards just doesn't offer it.

    How cheesy are the names of your locations?

    Usually my names are either phonemes placed together to evoke a certain feel, or I come up with grammatical structures and base words to make words out of (which of course, may be cheesy in the original language, but sound good when you are not a native speaker).

    Why do DMs have a rule regarding how much can be spent on one item?

    If you are reffering to during character creation, in my case, it is to represent tha fact that you did not just have 55,000 gp and spent it one item. Instead, after 11 levels of adventuring, you have acquired items here and there. Forcing a character to purchase several items just makes a...

    Art or no art?

    No art > Bad art In my opinion, I'd rather see icons than art. For me, the main purpose of art in a book is to give me a visual memory of a page that needs to be looked up. For instance, when looking up rules for starting characters above 1st level in the 3.0 DMG, I looked for the picture of...

    D&D 4E GenCon - 4e News.

    The difference is that Dragonlance is supported by half a dozen or more supplements. And from my understanding, the Dragonlance campaign setting didn't too that well (by WotC standards, not Sovereign Press).
