I've also been a big fan of making cinematic fights in unique places. Always add's a great element to the game, especially when the setting is dangerous. The most fun one I've played in involved an undead army led by a death knight moving to attack our town that we had to stop. We set up an...

Let's see, in freshman year of high school I was around 6' and 300 lbs. My senior year I started hitting the gym daily, and lost most of it, I remember when we were gathering pictures for our graduation the girls in my class picked up a photo of me and a friend and asked who it was, they...

I think you definetely did the right move. There seems to be little to stay in the relationship for if she's doing something that causes that much of a problem. Exactly what do you people consider drunk driving? The way I understand it she's drinking maybe a beer while she's driving, but not...

Mmm fried foods always make me think of the state fair. Pound corn dogs, fried twinkies, snickers, ice cream, cheese balls... I think just about anything can be fried and it turns out good. On a side note, Maid Rite makes pretty good cheese balls, at least the last one I went to did.

I found out that I don't like only core. But this is what I quickly came up with (based loosely on the earlier character): human Paladin 2/ Fighter 8; HD 2d10+4 plus 8d10+16 (HP 120); Init +5; Spd 20'; AC 24 t 11 ff 23 (+13 armor, + 1 dex); Bab/Grp +10/+14; Atk +16/+11 melee (2d6+8 /17-20/x2...

I don't think people actually play with characters that maxed out. When you build something thats so centered on damage, you leave lots of openings in your defense. Say for example, the guy that could charge for 15,000-20,000 damage. If you got him with a high Will save spell or something...

Yes there are some munchkin archer builds out there too. But there's just as many, if not moreso, munchkin builds for fighters. Case in point, the Uber Charger (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=5769497), does something like 15,000-20,000 damage a hit, has the deathless frenzy, and...

Current campaign is about to end after a year and a half, levels 3-23. The last long term before that went from levels 1-26, in about a year. However, due to lack of scheduling conflicts and what not, we were able to play 2-3 times a week for 8-12 hours. The longest I've ever gotten to...

Hence the retrieve the McGuffin for the big powerful wizard is something to be used for sunday morning cartoon shows ;). Though there are plenty of options as to why the big powerful wizard can't get it himself, it seems a little too artifical for my tastes. When a DM does that I think that he...

Exploring an alien environment that is generally enclosed and inhabited by creatures that seek usually don't want you there. It has deadly traps, life threatening encounters, occasionally non-hostile inhabitants to interact with, and plenty of treasure. Why you're there isn't always as...

I hope those items are self cleaning... What happens if you fail a fear save in your Boxers of Protection +5? Do your characters just walk around in soiled Boxers?!? This brings an even more interesting question to mind: Are barbarians toilet trained? Seriously though, I'm all in favor of...

I didn't think CotSQ was terrible, we actually had fun with it, but I feel that I'm one of the lucky ones where it worked out just right for us. I've also never run a drow mission before that, though I have read the books, so it was the parties first in-game experience with the drow. Maure...

We've had a couple: In Return to the Tomb of Horrors you fight a nest of giants in a cavern side cliff (coming in through the back entrance). Instead of waiting, we charge right in, led by the party fighter. He charged and hit the biggest giant he saw, opening a large gash in the leg. The DM...

Loot them twice, then leave 'em to rot. Seriously, we've never even considered this. Occasionally it has come up in mass combats where bodies create veritable walls and cause balance checks to cross quickly, but besides that it's never been an issue.

My players roll for their hit points, rerolls on 1's but only the first time. They roll their stats too, but arrange them as they see fit. I even roll up the hit points for my NPCs ;).

I think the encounter's going to be tough as is, 6 umber hulks are no laughing matter. The easier solution may be to give the Evoker a scroll of Summon Monster if things go badly. Then you can summon whatever you think may help the fight, a blue Slaad or barbed Devil would work nicely. :D...

I've had a two memorable bard character concepts: One was a one-eyed half-orc bard. His focus was battle chants and the war drums, and he followed Gruumsh. The other was a woman that had Perform (fortune telling). She played the part of a bone caster type. Sort of a shaman from a wild...

There's a halfling Paladin/ Halfling Outrider/ Cavalier riding a winter wolf in my campaign thats an extremely effective mounted character. He can literally do hundreds of damage a hit. Unfortunately the second he's off his mount he's kinda worthless. Plus his mount is fairly easy to kill...

I was rather intrigued by this topic, and actually pulled out some of my old books to look over the differences. I only played 2nd, 3rd, and 3.5, so I can't comment on 1st edition. Hit points were much lower in 2nd edition. After 9th level they barely increased at all. In 2nd edition if that...
