As a player, I certainly wish Grapple was a more viable option in a fight. The rules are pretty difficult for my fellow players to get their heads around. A grapple also creates a lot of problems when you're part of a team -- you can't assist the allied grappler very well and you can't attack...

If they go in this direction, I hope they do that AND allow Halflings to move at their normal movement rate while swimming, rather than one-half or one-quarter. That's a way to let their life-by-the-water fluff shine.

My FLGS reports the same thing: Selling poorly. He had two or three copies of each.

Make Use Magic Device an untrained, all class skill for the character. This helps the character use wands -- particularly wands of healing and restoration! Heck, I'd even give a free feat: Skill Focus: Use Magic Device.

It's funny, in all my years of D&D playing and DMing, my groups have never been interested in published settings. We played Scarred Lands for a while. And we've used plenty of modules, but nothing long term.

There's a humanoid I thought most people had completely ignored! I've been working on a campaign concept where the Mercane are the central villains. Basically, the heroes are forced to work for the Mercane until they're powerful enough to break free from them ... My campaign site

It always appears to me that my Pipped dice roll, on average, just a wee bit higher. Is there any truth to the notion that the "One-Pip" side of a pipped d6 is a heavier, and therefore ends up on the bottom more often? That of course means that the "Six-Pip" side is on top more often.

I'd like to see something like a band of goblins (or other humanoid) ... you know, a leader, a fighter-type and missile-thrower.

Any one else want to vote?

When the announcement of 4E came, I stopped cold. But then I kept reading more about the edition and I went from excited, to lukewarm ,to very hesitant about converting. At my group's last gaming session, I asked their thoughts. They don't follow the news/rumors as close as I do, so they hadn't...

Interesting article. Who would have thought boring old RPGs would be at the forefront of a digital revolution.

Get 50 of them, attach a wire hook around one of the eyestalks and you can decorate your Christmas tree next year!

OK, I've zipped through the pages and I think I've corrected them. Could you check again?

Whoops, that's a result of me switching things around last night.

My group is one of those groups that doesn't much like running clerics. This is an attempt at throwing a bone to someone who does decide to run a cleric. Ah this change I made for me, the DM. Basically, it allows me to say that every morning Bad Guy X casts his favorite buff spell and waits...

Hmm. I've been fighting with that a lot. I keep trying to adjust them. I think I know how to adjust it. Whoops! Hey, good idea.

As I mentioned in this thread, I'm prepping for a new campaign. I've set up a wiki for a campaign web site, swiped some art and text from WotC and now I've got it looking pretty much how I want. So if you're interested, take a look. I'd like to hear your thoughts about my race selections, house...

Yep! Once I get my campaign web site a little more solidified, I'll be posting a link here for critiques and you'll be able see how I'm getting around a few things.

I'm assembling my house rules for an upcoming game. I want to ban skills that provide instant travel powers and push communication and skill use rather than relying on spells. So .... With those restrictions in mind, what spells would you ban? And, while I'm at it, what spells do you ban and why?
