    Help me make a combat teleporter without psionics

    How about the Knight Phantom out of the Eberron five kingdoms book? It's very similar to the the eldritch knight, but it allows you to wear light armor, a good BAB, some interesting abilities like the ability to walk across water and to allow your weapon to ignore armor for a short duration...

    Witchfire trilogy question

    And I'd have to disagree. I ran the entire witch fire series for my players and they had loads of fun. The two main villians you mention are duking it out in the middle of an undead assualt on a church. the players have been invovled in and are still invovled in saving the chruch while these two...

    Gamer Significant Others

    Married to my wonderful gaming wife for the last six years. Matter of fact we just had our first little one, and he already has his very first d20. A great big soft fuzzy one to be sure, but he still has one. -Ashrum

    Strategy or role-playing game?

    Okay, I'm in the minority here. But yes, to me 3.x DOES feel more wargamey. It's the almost fanatical reliance to a battle map and minitures I think that does it to me. In 2e and 1e days we played and never used mini's. We tossed fireballs and let the DM describe the effect it has. Today the...

    Bookstore treats D&D books like Playboy

    Man, it took working retail for you? I thought it just took driving through rush hour traffic to do that. ;) -Ashrum

    Bookstore treats D&D books like Playboy

    Hmm, here they're behind the counter in the local B&N here as well. Maybe it's a Michigan thing? :\ And when I say behind the counter, I mean at the end of the counter opposdite all their registers, where they tend to pile boxes of items they just recieved. So the last time I went in looking...

    Best D20/OGL Setting I SHOULD Own

    I would have to say the iron kingdoms is the best setting i have seen. It is comprehensive, yet leaves enough in the open to run some serious campaigns. It handles the existence of high level characters well, and the writing is liberally strewn with plot hooks. Add in that the artwork is some...

    Which is the Best WOTC Setting to Purchase?

    Between the two you've posted, I'd say Eberron. As has been stated it's fresher, and more open for you to add your own bits without somebody taking offence that you've changed cannon. Of course that is also its weak point, in that there's more work for you to do since every small hamlet hasn't...

    ENWorld = whiners arguing ?

    I'd have to agree with the magority. Enworld is, by far, a bastian of civility and restraint compared to many of the minitures game forums I frequent. If the publishers think we are hard on them, they should check out some Games Workshop "fan" sites. Ouch! :confused: As for the story hours...

    Small Acts of DM Cruelty

    The party has spent a week traveling up a river gaurding a caravan from the local dinosaur wildlife. Toss in a few locals that have been trying to kill them and they've had a rough time of it. They then travel for a day through a crystal forest where excessive noise can trigger a deadly...
