    Do you need high stats to be an effective character?

    I said two 14's. If I'm a spellcaster, I want to be able to cast my highest level spells by at the most 20th level. If I'm a fighter type, or even rogue type, I want access to the feat tree's that require a 13 in a certain stat: (Ex: Power Attack tree, Combat Expertise tree, Dodge tree). I...

    How good of a DM are you?

    Hmm.. the system's flawed, 12 % has voted themselves as the top 10%. We have some liars among us. ;) I'm not the best, I have my off days where I just can't get into characters or the game. Then I have days where everything is awesome, and the game goes great. Lucky its more of the latter...

    What's your favorite video game?

    Alas, my computer cannot run World of Warcraft very well... or that may very well be the game of choice. Funny you mention Final Fantasy I, I'm currently playing the remade version of FF I for PS one :P

    The simple joys in life

    "I did absolutely nothing today, and it was everything I thought it would be." -Office Space A morning jog through the park. Sweet and sour chicken and crab ran goon. A good laugh. Sleeping in on sundays. Nice day of hard physical labor (I like to work with my hands).

    What's your favorite video game?

    If you like God of War you should really check out Devil May Cry III, just because they're two of the best action games ever. Very similar. I liked DMC III better though 'cause it's more difficult, and hence my type of game. :)

    Paladin 2 / Sorcerer 1 Needs a Prestige Class!

    How about one of the more powerful combo's out there: Paladin 2/ Sorceror 4/ Spellsword 3/ Eldritch Knight 10/ Archmage 1. Character type would be the knight/ mage variant, fighting with both steel and spell. At 20th level- +17 BAB, 2d10+4d4+3d8+10d6+1d4 HD, 16th level spellcasting ability...

    What's your favorite video game?

    Being subject of a recent temporary layoff (YAY!) I've got some free time on my hands, so I figure I'll try out some new games. What better way to find a game than to ask your peers? So what is it, and why? I'm an action junkie, I use video games and combative sports to sate my appetite for...

    We're Going To Do Return to the Tomb of Horrors and One Player has Freaked Out!

    I absolutely loved RttToH. Yes I took a character I had built from the ground up over a two year campaign into it, as did the rest of us. Though we died somewhere in the Fortress of Conclusion, it kept us on the edge of our seats in suspense the whole time. Few modules I've ever played in did...

    Everyone, Tell us about your games, please!

    1.) Six at the moment, though every session we're missing one or two players. Scheduling gets really hard when you're all in college and working full time or part time jobs. 2.) Yes 3.) Yes, one other DMs. The last time he did was Midnight campaign featuring a pet NPC. The other good DM used...

    What's my age again?

    I had plots and such in the younger years but they were more reminescent of He-Man episodes. Now my plots are more convoluted, character intense, and riddled with shades of gray. My last few plots and campaigns have been in depth, the action grittier, and the consequences more realistic. My...

    What levels do you enjoy DMing most?

    I enjoy DMing any level. I prefer to play at level 12-18, working up from 1st level of course. I like a little weight to push around.

    Help me lose weight

    I'm surprised nobody has said this, lift. Lifting is extremely important, otherwise you could just get into yo-yo dieting. Even if it's once a week, do a full body lifting session. Why? When you're done dieting and return to your normal eating habits, there's the possibility of putting the...

    Gamers and Stereotypes

    Stereotyping's a part of life, you get over it. I am very active, in shape, dress nicely, shower daily, hang out with the "cool" people, drink, and party. I get stereotyped as a meathead when people first meet me. Few meatheads I know can do Calc IV, Physics II, play DnD, RPGs, Wargame, and...

    By the book campaign, 2 levels in one session!

    No, we'd generally get 4-5 encounters per session, but encounters were more often lethal and deadly (3-5 EL's above the party level). It's worth noting that the encounters were almost all EL 2's, with maybe two or three EL 3's. They didn't "breeze" through all of them either, some almost ended...

    By the book campaign, 2 levels in one session!

    For some reason I don't remember our other campaigns moving this fast. I haven't played at this level for almost two years though, so I could be remembering wrong. IIRC 11 combats and 4 traps that were successfully disarmed or bypassed. So, do most people advance quickly through these levels...

    Do you Enjoy running high level games?

    I believe he's referring to ending the game at this time as the point they are currently at, 13th level.

    By the book campaign, 2 levels in one session!

    I started a new campaign last night, decided to make it completely by the book, and mostly pre-made missions. By the time our eight hour game was through and I added up the experience, my three players had gained enough experience to gain two levels. :confused: I ran them through a converted...

    Do you Enjoy running high level games?

    I like high level play and so does my group, some of the stuff you can do is just cool. IME it takes time to be able to run high level games without getting a headache from all the open options and keeping track of combat. I've gotten to the point where I can whip up a CR 25 encounter rather...
