    Which of these Skills do you use the least ?

    We've actually got a character that has cranked out a few Alchemist's Fires with Alchemy... We haven't used Disguise, Descipher Script, or Read Lips yet, but only recently has someone wanted to play a character-type where they would be relevent. Hopefully I can get them in a situation where...

    Ability Points Buy System how many ?

    In the current game I am running, I gave the Players a vote, either high stats, but very low magic, or low stats and very high magic. In the last game, we tried to break the system with high stats and very high magic... It stood up well. The vote was unanimous, high stats, low magic. So I am...

    Xp for non adventurers

    Someone made a suggestion I really liked, that a reasonable rate of learning for normal, non-adventurous people is 1 exp per day. Older people slowly get more experienced, and most people will still be very low level.

    What Item Creation feat should I pick?

    Forge ring. Definately forge ring. Because everything that can be done as a Wonderous Item can be done as a ring. And rings aren't big and bulky like Staffs, Wings, Carpets, Belts, etc.

    Tournaments, Fairs and Taverns

    Or you can do both and include a plain text document in the zip file with the graphically pretty pdf.

    What is your 12th level fighter's main weapon?

    Should I have a 12th level fighter, which I don't, it would have a +1 shocking-burst scythe. And I would make sure the fighter had Power Critical. That way, most single monster encounters would last no more than one round.

    Staves ---?`

    I guess all these staffs ( staves? ) in the DMG that can be used as +2 quarterstaffs or whatever don't really exist...

    Party Leader(s)?

    My usual situation is that no one makes a leadership capable character because no one wants to be a leader. It makes it very hard to keep the PCs motivated without a pair of large iron tracks for them to follow. I suppose ideal would be one or more players who are willing to lead the group...

    DMs, Do you allow your group(s) to play Evil PCs and/or parties, & why?

    I voted Shades of Grey Although it really depends on the flavor of game I am trying to run. If I am running a heroic game, then I encourage all the non-good characters to at least have good tendancies. But for more kick-in-the-door, hunt down the orc, kick him and the junk and take his wallet...

    Metagaming like this can never have good results. ;-)

    Traits and Disadvanrages

    You might as well ask, why does shooting goblins with a crossbow make someone a better wizard, or why some random joe shows up and wants to help you kill stuff whenever one of your friends die and just _happens_ to be fairly close to your experience. It is a game, taking flaws should be...

    I just lost my dice bag, and this is a serious financial loss

    While not RPG material, I finally escaped from Magic: The Gathering addiction last year. I was unemployed, and had to sell the cards I had left in order to eat. And as I parted with my huge collection for about 1.2k, I realized that over the years, since 1994, I had sunk over 15 thousand...

    Scorpion King: Verdict?

    Re: Stats No, that is definately a scimitar. Amusing moment. Watching the movie last night, I realized that I have the exact same scimitar that the Rock used. Same handle and guard even... Weird. ( Just proves those wrong that say they had a high special effects budget. It only goes for...

    Mmmmm Kobolds

    I have never killed a PC with kobolds. They won't let me. Everything they see or hear of a kobold, or his tribe, they run away in fear. But I've been gaming with mostly the same players for 10 years now. They know me. >:-)

    Why are druids so dumb? (kidding - looking for druid experiences)

    Best druid moment: Druid gets improved-grabbed by a wyvern, Druid turns into Giant Squid, grapples and pins Wyvern. Rest of party finish off wyvern. You get +4 to grapple checks for each extra pair of arms, and so she was grappling with +16 ( +12 from arms, +4 from being Large ).

    Laptops at the gaming table.

    If I had a laptop, I'd be using it at the gaming table. ( Note that I almost always DM. I would not use it if I were playing. ) As it is, I sit next to my desktop, and access maps, SRD, etc from it during, before, and after games.

    Would you purchase "WWF" D20???

    Hell, I'm writing it. ( Of course I don't have the IP rights, or the ambition to finish it to a publishable level, but I'm working on it anyway... )

    Help Design a Grass Roots Setting

    Bugs.. Bugs are always in grass roots. Maybe worms too. And plants. It's not really grass without plants. And dirt is a plus. Oh. Nevermind then.
