    "By the power of magic..." what is your verbal components like?

    Lets not forget "IA IA Cuthulu Fatagan" I dont require my players to actualy use verbal components, its assumed that any words of power would be nearly incomprehensable. I was in a game where the wizard cast his most power full spells with "Darkness beyond Twilight, Crimson beyond blood that...

    Tell me about different elves

    Elves IMC are a varried race spread across the globe. There are not an endless variety of sub races however, mostly just different cultures. True Elves (also known as Colonal Elves): This is the largest group of elves, and can be found in small habitats across the world. They are the last...

    Do you Enjoy running high level games?

    as a general rule Im not a big fan of higher levels, at least from the DM side. Firstly NPC creation become much more difficult as you go higher and higher in level. As someone who avoids the "monster of the week" approach I usualy use LA +0 creatures with class levels (instead of bigger and...

    Tell me about Blue Rose

    I like the sound of the system... I may pick up the PDF and see what I can "borrow" for my homebrew. the setting sounds... interesting... but not my speed (I prefer Conan style settings myself).

    Inspired by Lords of Madness (Updated with 65% more ideas, and 74% more confusion)!

    I love the idea of some wierd paradoxical evolution being responsable for Illithids... In the far future Aboliths rule, Illithids are a slave race created by them. the Illithids overthrow their masters and exterminate them, and go on to rule the universe. The only problem is that the univers...

    Meh. Maybe we won't.

    It would probably be more like: "Your services are no longer needed. Your ON fire." I love this one... I'll have to use it at some point.

    Why evil?

    they get along largely because they are the only two from Nihon (Japan). The others are Cathayan (monk), Tong-i (mongolian barbarian), and a Kataros (the only non-human). If the samurai had to kill everyone who was dishonorable hed have to kill nearly everyone he meets.

    Why evil?

    This sort of thing is why I've removed alignment from my campaigns. too many people seem to think that being evil means "kick a puppy every morning before going out to destroy the world". in my current campaing we have the following Samurai: Deeply honor bound, if he had to have an alignment...

    Your greatest level span in a campaign?

    my first campaing (started when i got the PHB back when 3rd came out) went from 1-13. Since then I usualy start at 3rd and go to 12-14.

    What's the appeal of "Cowboy Bebop"?

    I've always felt that it was a decient series, not good enough to buy but good enough to watch if it was on.

    What do your players do with thier dead foes?

    It depends on who they were fighting... a bunch of random chumps are usualy left to rot on the ground. Named NPCs sometimes have their heads taken (if there is a bounty). Enemy spell casters are always dismembered and have their parts scattered about (never trust a wizard to stay dead in his...

    How Does Your Party Divide Treasure?

    characters who want a gem take it as part of their haul. Using my previous example lets say that the party of 5 found 40gp and a 10gp gem. If an individual wanted said gem then they would just take it as their share of the loot. Characters usualy only get 1 magic weapon or amor throughout a...

    How Does Your Party Divide Treasure?

    coins and gems are found in amounts easily divided by the number of players ("OK you five finish searching the orcs and come up with 50gp). Magical items are given to those who can use them (and I only give out a handful of magical items in a campaing they are always custom made for the party).

    Do you use minis?

    I buy and paint my own minis... at first it was mostly WHFB stuff, but now its almost exclusivly Reaper.

    "But I'm THIS close to a new level..."

    If a character is within 100xp of his next level I usualy just give him the extra. If the character is the lowest level character in the party then I'll give him more (up to 500)

    Why are Warforged so bad?

    I just cant seem to "get" the idea of playing a construct. I know it makes sense in the Ebberon setting, but its just to strange (almost silly) for a campaign I'd run.

    Removing Divine magic?

    True, Im still trying to find the right balance for the spheres You can't just open up the magic system as it is now -- why be a wizard when you can be a cleric with fireball, d8 hp, a good BAB, and armor? On the flavor side you are then beholden to the gods of fire, powerful elemental...

    Do you mark your books?

    I mark my books so Im sure to get them back at the end of the night. To many times I've been left with two or three PHBs sitting around to do otherwise.

    D&D Community Different Than the D20 Community?

    In my group there is only one other person who buys RPG books with any kind of regularity. He buys only WotC products, while I'll buy just about anything that catches my eye (which is very little thankfully).
