    What's the worst repercussions you've experienced from playing an evil campaign?

    I once tried to run an evil game, it didnt work out very well... the party (6th lvl) went around stealing from commoners.

    Conan or Conan O'Brien?

    I'll play all sorts... smash hungry half-orcs to thieving dwarves.

    Some spells I've been working on...

    The whole point of putting these spells here is so that a wider audience can look at them and point out problems. I've been using the existing spells since 3rd first appeared, and they have always seemed somewhat lack-luster to me. The spells I'm posting here are the most troublesome of the...

    Some spells I've been working on...

    Arcane Weapon has been one of my most troublesome spells, it stems from an attempt to replace the Magic Weapon spells with a single spell. So far it hasnt been that successful... the version below uses the Greater Magic Weapon ability, but has a shorter duration... Arcane Weapon High Magic...

    Some spells I've been working on...

    thanks for the info, I went back and edited the spells somewhat. The school info is setting specific. In short spells from Dark/Light are cleric spells, High/Elemental are wizard. also anyone IMC who uses magic is refered to as a sorceror (I went back and changed sorceror to caster). Arcane...

    Some spells I've been working on...

    Here are some spells I've created, its a fairly large spread as far as power level goes. I'd like to hear what ya'll think. are they balanced for their level? Does the wording make sense? Arcane Weapon High Magic [Enchantment] Level: 1 Components: V, S Casting Time: One Full Round Target: One...

    Do you ever play in Eberron?

    Though the flavor of the setting runs counter to what I DM I'd have little trouble playing in an Eberron game. I doubt I'd ever run one though.,

    I like to think that I'm at least decent at DMing, though I know that I need some work.

    One month from today...

    I'm looking forward to it.... but I wouldnt say Im excited about it. I've seen all the movie up till now, and though I always enjoyed them I'd never call myself a fan.

    Condesing the skills

    I merged Spot and Listen into Perception, and Hide/move silently into stealth. Both were done because I found myself calling for both skills at the same time far more often then a single skill. I also use Tumble for balance checks (its not realy a merging IMO). Merging Pick Locks into Disable...

    Do you need high stats to be an effective character?

    having read through this it seems that the original poster was asking about needing one or two good stats, not having all 18s. while most of those who have replied have talked about their character with a few low stats and some realy high stats. the half ogre from above is a good example, yes...

    What levels do you enjoy DMing most?

    I prefer 3-4 starts ending at 12-14. players start without much power, but can still stand up in a fight. by the end they can take on powerful foes but are still threatened by non-godlike creatures.

    Generation: rolling vs. point buy

    We use a base of 8 in all stats, then 28 point buy (none over 18 before racial modifiers). There are a few reasons for this.... 1) it gives everyone the same baseline to work from, including the DM (me). There is no chance that one character is going to get a bunch of 18s while another is...

    Why do clerics prepare spells?

    Remember that you can switch out your spells by taking an hour to re-prepare them. That seems to fit the way a cleric could fight daemons in the morning and perform a marriage ceremony in the afternoon.

    Do you need high stats to be an effective character?

    The way the system works its a virtual requirement that you have at least one stat 13+, otherwise you cannot realy use your abilities (magic users cant cast spells, combat types cannot use their feats). Personaly I prefer (as a DM and as a Player) characters that have some extrordinary...

    Do you make your good gods worth worshipping?

    Being evil and going crazy is not a gift from "evil" gods, people worship "evil" gods because they like going crazy or being evil. those who follow "good" gods do so because they are "good" as well. The gods IMC give little care to the events of the mortal world, people follow them (good or...

    Paladin thread, nuff said

    Both actions seem reasonable to me, the mayor and his bunch betrayed the king and thus deserved to die. Your paladin couldnt just run off for three months to take him to court where he would just be hung anyway. the second bit is the same, he took his chances comming out there and you are not...
