I'm unsure why you want to have special classes for each religion. The domains are good for flavor at lower levels, and more specialized priests at higher levels can be modeled using prestige classes. That disclaimer aside, the class is certainly not overpowered. None of the powers are very...

I play with 1 5-foot step per round, and use declared actions to get around the "change the past" sillyness. Thus if you take a 5-foot step, no more movement this round (including haste). .Ziggy

A vampiric, half-celestial, half-dragon Giant Space Hamster ! .Ziggy

Rogues are my favorite, love all those skill points. We usually play adventures with lots of interaction, investigation and non-combat scenes. If I wanted sheer power, the cleric is probably the most fun to play. .Ziggy

Definitely the Giant Space Hamster. I use it all the time IMC, it has become the iconic recurring villain :) .Ziggy

The most useful is definitely haste. It can be cast either on yourself (giving more firepower), or on other characters if the situation requires. It is a killer in combat. Apart from that there are several other very useful 3rd level spell, definitely the level with the hardest choices when it...

I prefer level 3 to 8. When you reach 3rd. level you have a little more buffer for survival than on the first two levels, and it is possible to play (and as a DM plan) more dangerous encounters without anyone dying from just one lucky dieroll. When you progress upwards in level from 3rd, every...

Ah, the beuty of a well placed Mass Heal against a bunch of high-level undead :) Been there, done that. .Ziggy

Hi Plane Sailing! I've read it all, and it's good. I like the plot and the narrative, and I'll try to keep up with it (but reading story hours is putting a serious dent on my spare time these days). I would like to see a bit more dialogue and "behind-the-scenes", but that's just my personal...

We play a lot "online" with e-mail. All my players are online at work, and most will send an answer within minutes. I'm not sure if that is covered by your definition ? .Ziggy

OK, I'll give it a try :cool: .Ziggy

While it's not a catch-all, i've found it pretty useful in a couple of situations: 1. When attacking invisible or otherwise hidden characters. While the burst isn't that big, its usually big enought to get them if you have a general impression of where they are. 2. To take out swarms of...

All the friends I game with on a regular basis live in the same city, and we usually play at the home of the DM. A friend of mine moved down south to Oslo (500 km), we try to get together at least one weekend a year playing Amber almost nonstop from Friday evening until Sunday. For these...

Re: Way too many... I've got an almost perfect match with OldOne: I read, in no particular order, the following: Old One's Faded Glory Story Hour Rel's Faded Glory Story Hour Piratecat's Collected Story Hour Contact's Liberators of Tehn Story Hour Sagiro's Story Hour Nemmerle's Out of...

Hi! I'm glad to see Posy back, and what a fight ! Bugbears can be pretty nasty, especially for a low-level party. The reason I love Posy so much is the mix of everyday stuff and high-tension combat. I love campaigns that also includes stories and scenes not connected to the main plot, and the...

I play an abjurer (currently 7th level), and have used counterspell (based on dispel magic) fairly often (in at least 4 or 5 combats). He is not a heavy hitter with offensive spells, but focused on buffing and protection. A well-timed counterspell is often the difference between a held...

Some more (mostly positive this time): GM: - Explain the motivation of the major NPC's, not just their actions. This will make it much easier to react to player input and unexpected situations. - Good layout (in a published adventure). The difference between a smooth flowing session and...

I vote for encounter. It should be as generic as possible, with tips on how to modify it to different parties. It should not depend on specific skills, spells or items to be "solvable", and preferably have a twist or hidden agenda surprising the party in the end. I pretty sure that its...

We are definitely using Norwenglish. I think that we tended to use more norwegian words when we were younger (15 years ago), but now all people I game with are fluent in English, and most won't even notice that they are mixing words in the same sentence. I've also noticed that my campaign...

Here in Norway gaming is no big deal (same as the Netherlands & Iceland I guess). Thus I have no problem with telling people I game, and I'm pretty sure everybody that knows me reasonably well (that includes most co-workers) know I game. The only thing I will hide in a public space is source...
