    What inspiring quote have you found here?

    Actually, it was from the D&D Mini's forum, but I've applied it to D&D during my games. (Paraphrasing): "If you have to ARGUE your interpretation of the rule, then that's probably not the intent of the original rule as written." And that's what I tell my players. And then I say, "Sorry -...

    Combat cheat sheets

    YES!!! This thing is awesome! Man - this is a VERY useful tool. As a DM I am re-working this to fit on both sides of an 8-1/2" x 11" and laminating one for each player in my group. Thanks to all!

    Standing up from prone

    Sigh. This is the reason that games get bogged down. People try too often to do things to "get around" the rules. The rules state: and that's that. If I'm the DM and some yahoo tries coming up with scenarios and reasons and justification for back-dooring some rule, I just say, "Nope, can't...

    Spell Compendium - Spell Name Changes

    So call it Mordy's Buzzin' Bee for cryin' out loud. Why the heck does it matter what the book says? LOL

    Players' screen notes

    - Don't forget to name who your Dodge enemy is BEFORE the dice start rolling - Point Blank shot only works within 30'

    Standing up from prone

    (Shrug) I don't know, I've always thought that flip-up, kip-up dealie bob was WAY overrated. It looks cool, but it's real-life practicality seems very low IMHO. By the time it takes to roll back onto your shoulders and rock/push yourself forward and up, you'd be kicked in the ribs about 40...

    Standing up from prone

    Generally speaking, I tell my players that if you have to argue for a certain meaning to a rule, that's probably not the intended meaning. (Liberally stolen from Sulaco) If you try an "angle" or "work around" to make a rule work, then I won't allow it as a DM. To me, If you're prone, then you...

    So a Keen Rapier Crits on....

    No, that's incorrect. The Keen Benefit does NOT stack with Improved Critical.

    What are the "best" Dungeon adventures

    I'll throw my hat into the ring for Rana Mor as well. I've ran it in two different campaigns and it rocked each time. Everybody liked it. Don't remember any Lizardfolk though, but I do remember an Evil Death Cult, and nasty Chulls clunking onto the decks of the boat in the middle of the...

    Drenai -> d20/OGL starting point?

    Aus, I think you had the right idea. Why bother with a new system at all? Just use an existing system, and make a World Book, or Player Guide, or Gazateer. Throw in lots of maps, country descriptions, history, and famous characters as stat blocks. That's always sure to draw lots of...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God! (Updated: Oct 09/05) Spoiler Free Thread

    Ugh. That doesn't bode well. When I'm channel surfing and come across a movie on Sci-Fi I usually stop for a minute or two just for laughs.

    Weapon Prowess? Add Dex mod to damage?

    Infiniti2000 wrote: "I have not heard of it. Are you interested in comments on whether to allow such a feat (once the specifics are found)?" Absolutely, chime in buddy. It seems to me like it could be a bit strong for a High-Dex Roguey type. Esp. once you start throwing Sneak Attack and such...

    Weapon Prowess? Add Dex mod to damage?

    Anyone ever heard of a Feat called Weapon's Prowess, where you add your Dex Modifier to damage, instead of your STR mod?

    Stacking... Ugh.

    I am running a game where a character has Gauntlets of Ogre Power (+2 to STR) and has Righteious Might cast on herself (+8 to STR). She now has +8 to STR, correct? (or is it?) Now, if she drinks a Potion of Bull's Strength, would that stack? If she invoked her Granted Power (Feat of...
