Lay off the drugs, man :). Half-ogres don't weight 1600lbs. They weight around 300lbs without equipment, max. Well within Teleport-Me-Please range. (Ogres weigh 300-350lbs on average. Buffed-out half-ogres, with equipment, might weigh 400lbs I suppose. Not a big deal.) He can probably find a...

That's only three feats, right? One for 6th level, one for being human, one fighter feat. And the 2k in gold -- well, it should go without saying that as these guys rise in level, that 2k discrepancy (bcs of having more expensive armor) is going to get less and less important. And there's just...

Okay, let's see what we have here: "Doofus" -- Human Fgtr 6: AC 23(26), 49hp str:16 dex:14 con:14 int:12 wis:10 chr:8 Key feats: weapon focus power attack cleave Weapon Specialization BAB 6/1 Has Longsword +1, Full Plate +2, Large Shield +1 +11/+6 overall to hit. 1d8+6 damage (average...

No :):):):), sherlock. Of course you have to balance the races based on what they do best. It even says in Savage Species (though it shouldn't need to) that if someone makes a non max-min suggestion (like an Ettin Wizard) that you fool with the level adjustment.

My name is Shinobi Killfist. My name is Shinobi Killfist. I have climbed the highest mountain and swum the deepest ocean, both in the same day and without a bathroom break. I once defended a village of midgets from rampaging psionic half-dragon illithid ogres using nothing more than a...

Well, if you want to be the Jack of all Trades sorcerer (yawn), go right ahead. This way you get to learn twice as many spells. You know, so you can actually be an interesting spellcaster. And yes, this belongs in House Rules -- that's where I thought I posted it. Oh, moderators . . . ?

I'm pretty sure that a half-ogre/Fighter1 starts with as much gold as a 3rd level fighter, as they are both ECL3. So the ogre can probably afford full plate. Even if he can't at 3rd level, he can at 4th. This is really a strawman. Compare a half-ogre/Fighter4 to a human/Fighter6. I dare you...

God, I hate sorcerers. Not only are they underpowered unless you're running a one-shot or you run them as Evokers (or you Monte Cook them), but they're just plain boring. Same damn spells at each level, for the most part. Well, I've done something in my campaign to change all that. It seems to...

Ahem. Not allowed to say other sessions are more fun than mine :). And correction: Shinobi isn't just a Ninja, He's a Ninja with a Greatsword!!!! Get it right! (I do think we need to session-reportize Morrow's campaign, though . . .)

What does god need with a +6 sword? Given that we're talking Story Hour philosophies, I would be remiss if I did not do a little pimping. In my campaign, xvarts are, as a rule, secular humanoidists. Here is their story, in the words of Foleful, Xvart Sorcerer: ---------------- The secular...

Re: Re: AtE session 6 I've House Ruled sorcerers a bit. I was getting tired of the same ole sorcerer -- Magic Missile, Shield, Exp. Retreat at 1st level, Fly, Fireball, Haste (if I hadn't nerfed it out of existence) at 3rd level, etc. SO, in my campaign, sorcerers: 1) Become Monte Cook...

You ignorant bastards. Unknown Armies 'nuff said. (Also check this out.)

"Okay, so, with my standard I'll Haste myself and then take a move-equivalent and then with my partial I'll do a partial charge as long as I can avoid an AoO. Oh, can I get a 5-foot step in there?" Yeah, that pretty much sums them all up.

THE TOP PARTY QUOTES in this DM's humble opinion It recently occurred to me how many good lines keep popping up. So I figured I might as well start making a list. Here they are, in chronological order: 1. "You're right. We're not refugees." -- Rhuun 2. "Can I have a foot massage?" -- Thar 3...

It's tough. Morrow has been cranking out Story Hours for about six sessions now for my campaign, and I think we have two whole fans. (He claims three, but besides Gez and psychognome, I don't think anyone else has posted). I think it takes awhile. I'm hoping that shameless pimping will help --...

Fun With Party Conflict From the interparty discussion emails last week: ------------------- Foleful: Party goals and questions for discussion -- · How can we find this child, given that divination yields no more answers? Is the divination screen an indication that the child is in Inner...

Re: Half-Ogres The main reason to be a half-ogre over a full-ogre would be you don't have to delay level gain for four levels. You could argue that a half-ogre/Fighter5 (using level adjustment +2) is better than an ogre/Fighter1. Both have 5HD. The ogre has +2 Con, but the Fighter has...

Without further adieu, the Books of Torture . . . From the back of “Pressure Points: Life Energy Management through Mechanical Manipulations”, by Ilvana The long-term maintenance of clients, especially with minimal magical interference, has long been a challenge to both hobbyists and trained...

With spells like Dimension Door and Gaseous Form and Teleport around, it's going to be tough to prevent creative intruders from sneaking in. You might want to consider making/purchasing a magic item that can act as some sort of limited Forbiddance, if your DM is game. I mean, I have to believe...

I think with +2 natural armor they'd still be too strong, but it'd be closer. I mean, if you're going to play a monster class, you can technically play an orc, get +4 to Str, no Dex hit (but no Con boost) and have no ECL bonus. So if you'd allow orcs, the question is whether +2 Str +2 Con -2...
