    The paladin. A story and a question.

    First off, many people have brought up the paladin's Detect Evil ability. I'm sorry to say, Detect Evil can be subverted and any paladin beyond level 3 should have learned that. In this scenario, it's easy for me to understand the mindset of said paladin. 1. His god loathes undead. Even if...

    Prisoner interrogation methods

    Disgusting, man.

    Tell me about Ninjas.

    I just used the rogue class and changed the 'fluff' to suit my character. Picking the right combinations of feats and skills can make you a very good ninja-type character, without having to take (imho) an underpowered class (the ninja class in Complete Adventurer).

    What is Ptolus anyway?

    It sounds like a real interesting setting, and really nice book with a lot of extras and whatnot.. but the only way I'm buying a DnD book that costs more than $50 or so, is if it's stuffed with lottery tickets.

    World of Warcraft killed our gaming group!

    Funny that I don't see it and I was supposed to have been the perpetrator.

    World of Warcraft killed our gaming group!

    I don't see it because it wasn't there in the first place. I haven't alluded to anything, save for your merciless judgement of people who enjoy playing WoW. You totally missed my point and only saw one of the addages I happened to use. I don't care if your German, American, Canadian...

    Precautions in binding a succubus

    This made my day! Of all the horrible things the queen did, and all the lives cost and property damage to the city and suffering... I'd be willing to bet (and would have loved to have seen the look on your face) that your character was most angered at the death of his/her familiar. :P Sounds...

    Which alignment would kill the frenzied berserker in his sleep? Choose all that apply

    We had someone play the class and that very thing happened. We slew the foes, and then he attacked the paladin. Rather than let him kill us off, we all beat the hell out of him. Though the paladin went down, we managed to save him (neg 8 when we finally got a heal on him) and when the rage...

    You're right, Eridanis. I apologize.

    World of Warcraft killed our gaming group!

    Me? Thin ice? I guess I'd better back down on my views and stop posting right now! ......or maybe I won't :) While I can respect you don't like to play WoW, I think it's lame how you seem to be generalizing every WoW player with the few that have peed in your cheerios. You don't know very...

    World of Warcraft killed our gaming group!

    Now now, people.. never once did I say anyone was a racist. I mentioned instances of judging things before giving them a shot, but not once did I imply anything of the like. Though, while I didn't say you were a racist.. now that you think of it.. this comment.. Pretty much does clump a...

    World of Warcraft killed our gaming group!

    Yet, I imagine if you tried WoW, you'd love the game. You'd probably love it so much that you would regret all the time you could have played it but didn't. There's something about the game that makes all those "chores" and guild drama fun and worth it. Like I said earlier, I'd much rather be...

    World of Warcraft killed our gaming group!

    I play WoW at the high end. That means, for those of you who know, I'm working on full Tier 2 armor.. wiped in Naxxramus.. and spend almost every night raiding. Why? Because I live in an area where there's no DnD to be found. That's right... Missouri. When I had a DnD group, I threw WoW and...

    I feel out of it. How do you end campaigns?

    I ended one campaign before the 'final battle'. The PCs had spent a long time thwarting this corrupt Baron's plans. He was the kind of antagonist you love to hate. He over-taxed his subjects, took what (and whom) he wanted from the innocent folk, and even got away with murder on more than one...

    New Rogue Two-Weapon Fighter Ideas

    Starting at level 5? Rogue 3/Fighter 2. I've played such a build very successfully in the past. Are you going Human? If so, I'd take 2-weapon fighting, weapon finess, weapon focus: short sword. Next, grab 2 more feats that add to your roguishness or whatever you like. Improved Initiative...

    What alignment is House?

    House, I'd say, is CG. He does care about people, and I'll list some examples: 1. He avoided firing one of his staff when Volgner tried to force him, even Chase whom he knew was plotting behind his back. 2. He did everything he could to get Cameron to come back to work, even going out to...

    Non-gaming stuff that has affected your gaming experience

    The computer and movies/tv, mostly. For instance, I had a character that attained a vorpal sword once (no DM in my group ever let me have one after) and every time my guy beheaded someone, he'd always say.. "I love it when a plan comes together." [A-Team] .... even if it made NO sense at all...

    Sexuality in your games.

    Well, not 'outright hateful' that I'd ever seen. I guess he was angry the DM forced his character into a situation he was uncomfortable/offended with. I honestly couldn't say. Before I got a computer and the internet, during my teenage years (when the game happened), I also thought...

    Sexuality in your games.

    Why would you penalize the player of the character who stalks the lesbian to try and catch her? In a world of fighters and barbarians and whatnot, I think this would be a great roleplaying tool. If you're going to push the fact that there are so many gay/bi relationships in your world, I...
