    Most common sorcerer/wizard spells?

    God yes. Turns arcane casters into assassins. You'll need to do some information gathering first, to scout out where the target sleeps, but you can do that at night using the same combo...just carry your scythe with you, dismiss both spells, coup de grace, bing bang boom, you're out of there.

    Most common sorcerer/wizard spells?

    Yes, it was different! It was a cone with a range of close. Every two levels, you're gaining five feet to the cone! You could enlarge it so it's even bigger and longer! It's useful! Sure, it only affected 1d6 creatures in the cone, but you don't have to get as close to the enemy! You've got...

    Most common sorcerer/wizard spells?

    3.0 CS, yes. In 3.5 they made it into another Burning Hands.

    RAISE DEAD: get rid of it and make D&D better

    Lots of fear--resurrection spells require diamonds, sources of which should be tightly controlled by non-evil churches. Also, bringing someone back to life costs lots of money. The most obvious flaw in your argument is that you already know what happens after death. The churches teach you...

    Would this be evil?

    Neutral, but not evil. Maybe even Good, if you consider that another term for "the dignity of sentient beings" is "not being raped" or "not having your fingers sawn off" or something of the kind.

    D&D 4E In terms of theme, tone, and spirit, I hope 4e . . .

    My God. He isn't wearing boots, so apparently his feet are shaped like boots. For some reason. Or those are the fanciest waders I've ever seen. Also, his face is worthy of an old Chaosium module's closeups. I mean, that's really, really bad.

    Evil Deities & Their Followers

    Yeah, the only church you could get operating even semi-openly is Hextor. And that's a maybe. Everyone, say hello to the cell system.

    D&D 4E In terms of theme, tone, and spirit, I hope 4e . . .

    No, that's real. It's from White Plume Mountain. It should be, IIRC, in the 3.5e conversion on the WotC website.

    D&D 4E In terms of theme, tone, and spirit, I hope 4e . . .

    There's also something to be said for backpacks, which that group of wee little men have none. It's annoying to see all this art of characters and whatnot and to think they aren't carrying hardly any supplies, food, water, tools, etc. at all.

    help me brainstorm for my new military/horror campaign

    MJ-12 from Delta Green might be down your alley, I think.

    [Monster Manual I] I've only just realized...

    The writer knew to get to the tournament quick. That's a lot better than the Street Fighter movie, which...I don't think it ever actually got to the World Warrior tournament at all. And Resident Evil...zombies come in, what 30-45 minutes into the movie?

    "Don't Borrow What You Can't Replace"

    Wow, what a moop of a DM. Powers checks for "grave-robbing" a friend?

    Why do levels one and two suck so bad?

    Ingenuity here meaning a standard adventuring tactic lots of people use?

    What options have you regreted allowing in your game?

    Wait until higher levels--once the Fighter gets a second attack and the Warblade is using strikes that only allow one attack things will be more even.

    Why keep adventuring?

    Somewhere in the world, a gnoll is barbecueing a baby. I must stop him.

    I Googled D&D in Images...

    Not mine. My grandmother is 87 years old, hard as nails, evil to the bone, and has had two strokes and IIRC, a heart attack, and she's a lich who lives on pure spite. She hardly ever leaves her house except for one of my aunts or my mother to take her to a beauty parlor to get dolled up every...

    What options are you really happy you allowed into your game?

    Your motivation to force friendly fire issues on the PCs is mystifying to me.

    Game design that I'm surprised didn't make it into more books

    Your comments seem equally applicable to older editions of D&D, so why are you on this forum?

    Man, that guy looks a lot like Frank Zappa.
