    How do you determine hitpoints?

    I chose neither. I like to run a tougher game, and I'd hate for my PCs to be scared of a few rats. So, I've come up with a system. It doesn't give them full HP, but it's often worked out well. The PC rolls the dice, and must get the upper half of the dice side. He rerolls til he does. For...

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    High mercury bleh, I had my kids vaccinated. There's no way I'd increase their chances of getting the measels or mumps or syphilis or somesuch.. erm.. wait.. syphilis? Anyway, the point is, the guy that post was made about sounds like a real horses behind and it's disturbing to me that...

    How to crush LotR and SW Trilogies!

    Ahh well. Maybe I should write the script!!!! It was a good thought at 3 am. Plus, the recent 3 SW movies have just sucked. Jar-jar was lame, Maul was the saving grace of TPM. Episode 2 seemed to ramble on, with all kinds of useless jargon mixed with a few decent fight scenes. No one had...

    How to crush LotR and SW Trilogies!

    I've seen a lot of people personally drawn to DL just because of that Trilogy. I, myself, was pretty much a straight-edge forgotten realms guy til a high school buddy of mine got me to read Dragons of Autumn Twilight. I then got my Mom (who hates DnD and such) to read the Trilogy, and she...

    Help! -- Cleric stuff

    Anything I can find in a book like that, I can pretty much use. He's kinda lenient, as long as I/we don't try to screw him over and he catches us. Still, that's a lot of feats and turn undead attempts gone pretty quickly. Would probably have to get Extra Turning to make that work. If I pick...

    How to crush LotR and SW Trilogies!

    I liked the LotR trilogy, and SW was alright, but I got an idea seeing the DnD movie on the sci-fi chennel recently.... Want to really get DnD fans into the movie theatres and crush LotR and SW box office sales? I firmly believe they should make the original Dragonlance Trilogy into three...

    Order of the Stick #233

    My friends and I laughed our behinds off when Elan picked that belt up, and I said.. "That's deffinately going to come up again!" and poof! Banjo FTW!

    Help! -- Cleric stuff

    I found it, thanks. So, basically, do do the Divine Metamagic+Persistant Spell trick with Divine Favor and such spells.. I'll need: Divine Metamagic, Extend Spell, Persistant Spell... And then spend 6 uses of Turn Undead to cast Divine Favor and make it last all day? Am I right here?

    Where do you find Persistant Spell?

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    First off, before you judge me, you might want to get a few things straight. 1. It was in the post that (if I mis-interpreted correctly) a guy was playing the girl character. 2. If the poster had said. "He then proceeds to rape the other character, causing the player of the victim to relive...

    A little honesty and request for advice..

    In the words of Elan when Nale was hanging helpless over the pit of monsters... "Karma-riffic!"

    Address emailed, thanks a TON! Yeah, another thing that entered my mind and stopped me from a 'crime spree' lol

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    OH MY GOD! I read that and laughed for 5 minutes. I actually had tears. That is, bar none, the funniest thing I've ever read about in a game of DnD. I actually feel cheated at life that I wasn't there to see the looks on yours and everyone else's faces. I'm actually correcting typos as I...

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    That is ^*&$ing scary. I'm an avid gamer with children. If anything, I can often be the 'problem' guy because of this. Everyone plays at my house, so time and again the kids interrupt. It can be hard to play with little ones around. Most often I make sure they're fed before everyone comes...

    A little honesty and request for advice..

    I saw a post asking why a bookstore put their DnD books behind the counter, and most people agreed it was probably theft-related. I bought the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book a long time ago. Well, during a move, I lost the big map to it. Being rather upset, I tried to find a...

    D&D II - movie on SciFi

    I liked the new movie. The first one was a piece of crap, with the diolouge (sp) worse than the Batman movie where Arnold played Mr. Freeze. Edit: Spoilers ahoy! --Dinkeldog

    Quintessentially Forgotten Realms

    I've been a HUGE fan of FR for many many years. Over those years, I've learned a few things about successful realm-running. The tips above are great ones, so I won't restate what's already been said. These few are just my small take... 1. Don't make the heroes of FR (Blackstaff, Elminster...

    Symbiotes (Venom/Carnage/Toxin) for D&D

    Tok'ra are the good (or neutral) version of the Goa'uld. They actually share a body with their hosts. They switch back and forth between who's concious and whatnot. Becoming a host to the Tok'ra is voluntary, they aren't taken over or used the way Goa'uld use their hosts.

    Help! -- Cleric stuff

    We're gonna be starting at level 3, just found out. I don't mind doing some healing, honestly. I'd really like to surprise them, though. "Wow, man.. I didn't know a cleric could do stuff like THAT!" The magic domain sounds pretty nice. I still want to stay in the good-area of alignments...

    World Building - Suggestions Please (be kind lol)

    When I write a campaign, I start with 1 central theme that happens if the PCs choose to get involved or not. Here's an example: BBEG is going to open a gateway to the Abyss and find a way to restore a dead (and very evil/sadistic/horrid/whatever) god to life, then unleash it on the world...
