The end of the third Slave-Lords adventure is a railroader, too ... if it doesn't end a certain way, you don't go to the 4th one.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that, like the bunyip, bullywugs are a creature whose legendary origins are in Australia. If so, maybe an Australian poster would know the answer with more certainty than a Yankee like me. (until I'm corrected, it's Bully+wug)

The big weakness of Psi Warriors is the need to buff up before a combat. You don't want to get surprised, and you need a few rounds to put up those 1 round/level powers. Yeah. I tried playing a Psi Warrior in 3.0, and as much as I loved the concept, I found the above situation to be so...

Hmmm, maybe we just rolled badly, but it seems that every time any cleric in the games I've played tried a turning attempt, it was a wasted round. I'm not sure our guys could turn a page, much less a wight.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but try taking a look at Green Ronin's "Shaman's Handbook". Shamans are new base class, the main job of which is to be the mediator between the material and spirit worlds. They're presented as assuming a more technologically primitive culture as...

A good supply of good PrCs is a good thing. True, not all the PrCs are good, but I doubt that anyone ever would have said they expect every single one of them to be good with a vast number of people creating them. Likewise, with many people creating them independantly, it would have really...

Yeah, those people who can't play a human fighter 'cause it's "too boring". I don't know what to do about them either. The problem I have is that I like having a wide range of races and classes available, but I hate what I call "freak-show D&D", where you've got a group of 6 or 7 people and...

Played this ages ago, me DMing for a bunch of first-time players. So long ago I only really remember two details; one is the green slime falling on one PC, while the party had a half orc that carried a lot of beer with her wherever she went. So she passed around the bottles, they shook 'em up...

And two of you mentioned the benefit I thought there was some unspoken rule against talking about. I refer of course, to the fact that you get years worth of ammo for making fun of your friends!

I'm going with the choice of DC Heroes (which as stated above can be found -- if you look real hard -- as "Blood of Heroes" now) or the much praised Mutants and Masterminds. As far as choosing between the two, I would point out that the creators of M&M must've been familiar with DCH 'cause...

I have "Cry Havoc", and I like it. It will work for what you've described. Still, I am interested in "Fields of Blood". Is there anyone out there who can give a good comparison review?

Thanks Azazyll, you reminded me of another one ... the machine cyst material. But you neglected to mention the best thing about that one, and if Erik's looking for hints about how approach future projects, you've given me a great opportunity to give him one. Many people argue lately about what...

I liked a lot of what's been mentioned; particularly the various "point of view" articles. What was really nice was it made the kobold-goblin-orc-hobgoblin-gnoll sequence more meaningful than just a progression of slightly more powerful races to fight in large groups (which is what they were in...

Official updated stats for the Shoosuva???? Really??? I (for some reason that is admittedly way beyond even myself) really like the gnolls, and shoosuvas were a nice thing to add to the possibilities surrounding them. Made a couple of goes at converting it myself, but I never liked any idea I...

For those compiling the errata, the spell "Dance of the Unicorn" appears on the cleric spell list, but not on the druid one. The spell description says it's a druid spell, not a cleric one.

Okay, I've since read Universe's description of things. Things weren't as harsh as I thought. But still, I'd say the paladin made a rash decision in the heat of combat. Not enough to warrant even the temporary loss of abilities. Some sort of warning or better yet, some sort of "making a...

Queen Dopelpopolis' DM held her paladin morally responsible to allow for circumstances she had no way of knowing about. By that standard, if you've ever done anything at all in your life, you're probably evil. Say you bought the last of item x at your local grocery store. Next person who...

Usually, I read all the way through the thread before replying, so to lessen the likelihood of saying exactly what someone else said, and I really want to read this one too, but I'm going to respond immediately, so sorry if I am unknowingly quoting someone. I love to create characters...

If you're not a rogue, one good reason to take Improved Initiative is to avoid getting caught flat-footed by a rogue. If you are a rogue, one good reason to take is to re-level the playing field on those guys I mentioned in the first sentence so you can catch 'em flat-footed.

Like Simplex, I like to look outside of genre to find my stuff to take, I think it forces me to be more creative. Haven't done any DM for a long time until recently, and I'm using a published adventure to get my feel for behind the screen. One I'm ready to create my own adventures, though, I'm...
