    What is a dragon?

    This has actually been proven in some areas, while other areas it is simply a good postulate. Although, it was rarely bones. More commonly, it was fossilized foot prints that became exposed. Dinosaur bones, on the other hand, are the source of many giant legends.

    What is a dragon?

    Not true on both accounts. Medieval Christian dragons (Occidental, if you will) were usually depicted as man-sized or smaller. (Michael slaying the dragon - http://prodigi.bl.uk/Illimages/Kslides%5Cmid/K057/K057372.jpg) Additionally, Occidental dragons were usually chimeric, being made up of...

    DM's: Focusing on character weaknesses ethical?

    Yes, and the DM's job is to make sure all the players have fun. So if one character is outshining all the others because of a specific build, it is better for the game and enjoyment of the players to attack that player's weakness sometimes.

    DM's: Focusing on character weaknesses ethical?

    I do the same. As a DM I have tendencies such as large numbers of humanoid encounters and little in the way of aberrations and undead. If I find someone exploiting this by creating a character who rocks against humans but has left themselves open, then I'll throw in some undead for good...

    DM's: Gems, Jewelry, Artwork & Copper pieces..do you actually describe them?

    I roll it up. Where else are gems supposed to come from for spells with material components and foci? I don't think going to the corner market and buying ruby dust should be possible. And art objects is a necessity. When a character finds a ring bearing the crest of a noble family and...

    How long does it take to copy a spell?

    This was well explained in 2e in the Wizard's Handbook.

    Getting better at playing D&D

    There is little reason not to get EVERY spell as a scroll (unless there is an expensive material cost or an exceedingly long casting time). You never know when you might need it. If you use it, you can always buy more. If you never use it, you have made a cheap investment into being very...

    Improvement to Dodge

    +1 AC bonus, in my opinion, is not overpowered since the feat is limited to being taken once. Just permanently add in the bonus to AC (but not flat-footed AC).

    Circvs Maximvs forum returning an error

    I thought I should clarify. My last post may have sounded like I was trying to be funny to those who don't understand what I'm talking about. I assure you I am not trying to be funny.

    Are your modern map needs being met?

    If I need a map for a modern campaign, I pull it off of a real-world map on the internet. Much cheaper and easier than trying to get game maps. Also, I find very little use for maps in a modern game. In general, people just follow posted signs to where they are going. There isn't really a...

    Puzzling problems

    Looking to collect some puzzle ideas. Anyone have any good puzzles they've used lately? My personal preference is for puzzles that the players have to have a hand in figuring out, but that can be altered or helped by character skill checks or magic. Example (anachronistic, but serves my point...

    Joker Actor Named for Next Batman Movie

    I've not seen him in a role that is boisterous and outgoing like the joker so I'm not sure of his ability to play a character with that much energy. Is there some role you can point out?

    Joker Actor Named for Next Batman Movie

    I suppose if you haven't had much contact with the type of character he was playing (I did some growing up in Montana) it might not seem as good a performance as it really was.

    Need ideas for encounters

    Oh, sorry :) I don't generally worry about CR since I can always modify things to fit. Yeah they are level 1, but it is a large party (7-8 characters) and they are quite good at power gaming in general so encounters can be upwards of CR 5 probably depending on the specifics. The stone...
