    What should I do in Kuala Lumpur ?

    Might drop by Bangkok on the way home, and have a meal at one of my favorite restaurants (Lord Jim's at the Imperial Hotel). I love museums so I'll definitely try that. .Ziggy

    What should I do in Kuala Lumpur ?

    Got a room in a luxury hotel, it'll go on the travel expences of my wife's trip :-) I'll try the night marked then. Guess I'll find plenty of tips of where and then in Lonely Planet. And I'm always careful about water - dodgy water is the safest way of getting an upset stomach. I might try...

    What should I do in Kuala Lumpur ?

    I know all Immodium, been a lifesaver on trips to the far east before... How spicy should I expect the street food to be ? I like spice, but not the burn-your-mouth out variant. Don't have too much experience with Malay food (except for the satay - delicious), so I'll definitely be sampling...

    What should I do in Kuala Lumpur ?

    Next week I'll travel together with my wife to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). She'll be attending a meeting lasting almost one week, while I'm just along for the ride. So what should I do with all that spare time ? I'll be limited to day trips, but she'll be attending several formal dinners so I can...

    So tell me about the Book of Exalted Deeds in play

    We've used some of the spells from it. Last session my mage used Storm of Shards to great effect, cleaning out great hordes of low-level undead without any problems for the other good PC. It's a powerful spell, but IMO just below the limit for it's level. Some of the others are more troubling, I...

    What's the highest level PC you've advanced from 1st level in 3E/3.5E D&D?

    My highest PC is a Wizard7/Arcane Devotee5/Loremaster3, i.e. 15th. We play appr. every third week and have played for a bit more than 3 years. In the campaign I DM they are 10th-11th level after 68 sessions. We play for 4-4,5 hours each time, so I guess it's something like 300-350 hours. .Ziggy

    Wandering cleric of Pelor feedback/reviews welcome

    Some comments: Mechanics: ---------- 1. Impossibly good stats. This is a 82 point character, far beyond any normal character. And it's impossible to have 19 STR and 20 INT at level 10, you only get a total of 2 advances from your base 18's. 2. Aasimar's don't get the extra human feat. 3...

    Count me in as well, I've been lurking here since the beginning, but work is far too often interfering with my visits here :\ .Ziggy

    How much gold do you have?

    My 6th level party (6 PCs) have 862 gold, 17 silver and 6 copper in cash. They have items worth a total 144.144 GP, thus they are a bit richer than the norm for D&D. OTOH about one third of that are two specific items (one is a greater hemet og underwater action, the other a magical trap box)...

    Get dressed already! (does your mage wear robes?)

    Raphael wears a blindingly white Robe of the Good Archmagi, woven with golden threads that glitter in the light. Over his heart it got the sun of his patron god Pelor, while the right side has a smaller moon of Corellon Larethian. In dungeons he will sometimes wear a Cloak of Archnida over it...

    Are duelists overpowered?

    I my experience (I've got one in my campaign) the duelist is pretty balanced in both 3.0 and 3.5 (albeit a little bit weaker in 3.5). Yes, you got that pretty +7 bonus on 7th level, but this is more or less in line with what you'll get from armor at the same level. And thus the difference in AC...

    As DM, ever TRIED a T.P.K. -- and FAILED?

    As a kid I ran through a glass door to a restaurant (it only had markers at adult height). Escaped with only a small cut on my knee, while the door was totally ruined. I still remember the shocked faces of the people sitting inside when I arrived through the door in a cloud of glass splinters...

    ENWorlders: Reward my players with Magic Items

    I definitely prefer this mechanic. I played it as unhealable damage, because it had not happened yet. PC's interpretation makes it a bit more in line with the basic system, something I really like. It's to late to change it now, but I'll remember it next time I use it (I just love this item)...

    ENWorlders: Reward my players with Magic Items

    I used one of these IMC. I ruled that the sword passses through matter, almost like a ghostly sword. The party found it as part of a treasure horde, and after using it without any noticable effect against some spiders, the paladin happily "cut through" his own arm to shown the rest of the party...

    Correlating age and start of playing polls

    Born in 1968, started gaming in 1985. It was really hard to get hold of gaming materials here in Norway, and very few people played roleplaying games. In my home town (Trondheim - third largest in the country with a population of 150.000) there were probably less than 15 people playing when I...

    Real Professions anyone? or What did you do when you grew up?
