    Gnome fans... Need your help w/ prank ideas!

    I am currently playing a level 6 gnome druid (with a dire badger companion/mount, yay!) I'm looking for ideas for pranks to play on other party members. Keep a couple things in mind, though. The character is intelligent, and values his party members. He wouldn't do anything to hurt or weaken...

    Straight Half-Orc Barbarian, or Multiclass?

    I also just read that I don't need the improved trip feat if I'm using the chain to trip.... so I don't really need the INT 13 unless I want other combat expertise feats. Okay, back to half-orc. He'll be more fun anyway.

    Straight Half-Orc Barbarian, or Multiclass?

    Normally I would agree with you. I usually build my characters simply for fun and to see how they work. However, I can have fun roleplaying ANYTHING, but the Banewarrens is HELL. It'd sure be nice to build out a character that can deal out some serious damage and stand up in a fight. If I...

    Straight Half-Orc Barbarian, or Multiclass?

    Okay, I've decided to go human instead of Half-orc. I thought it might be fun to build him able to trip with the chain, but my strength is probably only going to be 16 or so. (We have 28 Build Points) He'll primarily be swinging the chain, trying to kill any baddies that move, but I'd also...

    Straight Half-Orc Barbarian, or Multiclass?

    I thought once you stop taking levels in barbarian you can't pick it back up again... am I wrong about that? Oh, and prestige class.... I've never actually used one before. I could, I guess. But I wouldn't even know where to start.

    Straight Half-Orc Barbarian, or Multiclass?

    Or would it be better to go human?

    Straight Half-Orc Barbarian, or Multiclass?

    "She knows it's a multi-class" -Major Korben Dallas ...sorta So, I'm making a backup 6th level character for the banewarrens, because I'd like to have one ready if I die again. Here's the question... if I want to play a half-orc barbarian who uses a spiked chain, do I want to go with a...

    Female Gamers? Are there more of us now?

    My group has more women than men. I think the women tend towards "role"-playing more often, though, which is what I like, so it's good for me. Now, if only one of them would run... but that's another story.

    Forge of Fury: Deathtrap? (spoilers)

    I strongly, STRONGLY recommend against removing the roper. You said you're trying to teach your players to be good players. The roper (if run properly) will teach them that combat won't win every situation. If you have a TPK, that means the players didn't even try. The roper is willing to...

    What happens when a character dies in your campaign?

    New character at lowest level of party members... and starting gold is NPC gold for that level.

    Funny in-game quotes

    In a game of Little Fears (a horror game where you play children) DM - Again, you see the huge, dark form pass by the outside of the window, and you hear it pause and sniff the air slowly Thomas - We're all going to die. Let's experiment with our sexuality!

    Instead of character progression...

    Well, that all depends on the Cthulhu game, really. Actually I run it right now (the Chaosium version. Never could get used to Cthulhu characters gaining levels). Sanity is a factor, yes, but depending on what characters are up against they still progress. I guess I would argue that going...

    Instead of character progression...

    Would it work to have a game with character regression? It seems to me that it might actually be interesting. Imagine starting out with powerful characters who for one reason or another start to get weaker. Obviously it wouldn't make for a great new system... my guess is that it would get old...

    The Assassination of D&D?

    Actually, I think the Turks are more of a threat. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I KILL me!

    The Not-Necessarily An Assassin Rogue

    Assume you're a trained Archer. Why, just because you have the fighter class, should you know how to parry or disarm someone with your longsword?

    I've Fixed Alignment!!!!!!1!!1

    I replied before your post appeared, or I wouldn't have done so. ANYWAY I have to steer this thread briefly "off course" just to ask... I have heard tons of people complain about the alignment system, but I have never seen specifics as to what they don't like. I quite like the system. Can...

    I've Fixed Alignment!!!!!!1!!1

    That's potentially the most pathetic, inane, immature, offensive response I've ever seen posted on this board.

    Great games you've been in

    While I've played in MANY great games, I think the one that stands out for me is a Little Fears game I played about a year ago. It was HEAVILY roleplay oriented. We all played children, generally around 10 or 11 years old. I played a kid in a wheelchair, just to try something a bit different...
