    Wish

    I'll agree it would be odd for a wizard character to say "I wish for a +1 inherit bonus to Int", but "I wish my great intellect was even greater" isn't metagaming, IMO. Referring to the Iron Will example in my own post (above), the character said "I wish I had greater will power". As DM, I knew...

    Wish

    I've allowed wish to grant feat-like effects sometimes. One PC wished for Iron Will, but got a +2 inherit bonus to Will saves. He got the effect, in other words, but he didn't have the feat he really wanted (to qualify for a PrC). ;) Bonus to skill? Sure, but not a very big one. +3 would be...

    How selfish are your PCs?

    How selfish they are depend on the characters they're playing. I've seen them be extremely selfish and extremely selfless, and anywhere in between. They're good RP'ers! :)

    Round IV is OVER

    Chalk up another one for Imp. Counterspell. ...and one for Spell Mastery. :confused:

    Wish Me Luck: I'm Reading the DM Guide Cover To Cover!

    Enjoy! :D It is one of the better written 3.x books, IMHO. I read the 3.0 version cover to cover. Heh, I almost knew it by heart. I've DMed a lot more than I've been a player since 3.0 came out...

    Do you use Random encounters?

    Nope. Never had a single random encounter.

    Were there clerics in Lord of the Rings?

    Only in the extended DVD version! :p

    So, how do you create new characters?

    Dice all the way. :] I like the random element, as do my players. Duct tape is ok, but we still prefer dice for stats. :p

    Round 2 is OVER

    Dwarven Defender prerequisites include wasting a feat, yes. I'm sure there are other PrC's that also have it. So what? Doesn't make Endurance a good feat. Doesn't mean you take Endurance. It just means that to take certain PrC's you have to give up a feat. Yeah, and you get it for free if you...

    Round 2 is OVER

    Endurance. Lamest feat I ever saw. Who here has EVER taken the Endurance feat? Has anyone ever even considered taking the Endurance feat??? :confused:

    I Just Couldn't Bring Myself to Do It

    While the "mostly dead" bit is both cool and creative, I would have let the PC die. The dice fall how they fall. I don't quite agree that this was really a "make this roll or die" situation either. First the PC guard and the sailor had to fail to notice the assassin. Then the sleeping PC had to...

    Me too! :D But now I just have to suggest Buttercup... :p

    Fantasy Names

    Glad to be of help. 'Syn' is probably not a good name for an English girl though... :p You'll let us know when you decide on one, right? :)

    Why do most groups avoid planar games?

    That is so cool! But you need to wait a few months. I still have a little work to do on Vikings D20: Midgard, but I've already got extensive notes ready for the follow-up, Vikings D20: Beyond Midgard, which will be sort of a Viking Manual of the Planes.

    Fantasy Names

    This subject is very close to home for me. My second daughter was born yesterday, and my girlfriend and I decided on her name just a couple of hours ago. She'll be named Dina, after her great grandmother. Our first is named Angela, btw. Both are quite unusual names here in Norway, but not...

    The Gaming Ideal

    1) Number of players: Four players and a DM. And I really wish somebody else would DM for a while; I need a break.... 2) Session frequency: Once per week, minimum. 3) Session length: 6 - 8 hours 4) 50-50 is a good mix, as long as both crunch and fluff is of good quality. 5) Dream book: My...

    By the book campaign, 2 levels in one session!

    I've seen quite a few "2 levels in one session", but then I've also DMed quite a few 12 - 24 hour sessions... ;)

    You last "Kill"

    My last kill was a group of human mercenaries. All us PC's were playing lizardfolk (the DM inisisted! :\ ), and these humans were looking for an ancient artifact they believed our tribe's shaman had in her possession. The fight was an easy one. They were in rowboats, wearing chainshirts, so I...

    Orcus - which portfolios and domains?

    When making my deities, I've always given them just 3 or 4 domains: Alignement + 2. Any more than that, they have to take the Extra Domain salient divine ability, and Extra Domain has divine rank 5 as a prerequisite. Chaos and Evil are of course mandatory; reflecting his alignment. Going...

    What's your single favorite D&D creature?

    Got to be dragons! Any old dragon. They are the embodiment of the fantasy genre, IMO. My favorite right now would be the husorm...
