    A bit of confusion over Iaijutsu focus skill..

    As well as depending on how many weapons the GM will allow you to drop a round. If someone tried to draw and drop four weapons a round in my game I'd just laugh.;) The thing that is unclear is if it's a MEA or full round. Iaijutsu doesn't seem to work with Whirlwind attack (inference from the...

    Why is Medieval fantasy the standard?

    Yes, but were they high on dope and using AK-47's? :D

    A bit of confusion over Iaijutsu focus skill..

    You get the Iaijutsu focus bonus on one attack, not all. Though Sneak attack does stack with IF for that first attack. I've not found any errata to suggest otherwise and the FAQ implies without spelling it out that you only get the IF damage on one attack, so that's how I handle it in my game.

    So he calls himself "Dragonslayer"...

    May you live in interesting times. May you come to the attention of those in power. Old chinese curse but a cool one. Personally, I'd not talk the player out of it. But I'd just keep an eye on how much he plays it up. If he uses it anytime he introduces himself, people are going to ask...

    A different way of handling scolls as a % of wealth?

    I've been running a Rokugan game for a while now and it's reaching the point where there is a problem with scrolls. Since it's a relatively low gold game, there's a constant squeeze on wealth. Even more so since looting corpses is frowned upon. so I've been considering using a system where the...

    When do you retire your pc's?

    I agree, talk to the players. If they are having fun, better to do that than to leave bad memories of a game they had previously really enjoyed.

    As a DM do you secretly enjoy the obnoxious player who pisses everyone else off?

    Neither as a DM or a player. That's the sort of character that gets left behind by the group, IMHO.;)

    [OA/FR] Rokugan - Updated 12/13/03

    Agreed, I've been enjoying reading this story hour. Hopefully the lazy bastiche doing the writing gets off his butt soon and gets back to work. Oh wait...

    Catwoman is gonna rule the world

    So, am I the only one seeing that customer and thinking it's Black Scorpion TV series level bad?:)

    [OA/FR] Rokugan - Updated 12/13/03

    Toshiro has many virtues. But he's not really a leader. But the leadership mantle seems to be one that get passed around so people can enjoy someone else getting to suffer. Right now Toshiro's enjoying Verick being the leader. the other type who could lead are very happy it's always on...

    Entangle question

    Just a fast question. The Entangle Spell requires plant life to work. The spell Wall of Thorns creates an area of thorns to entrap people and block off an area. Would Entagle work when cast over the area of the Wall of thorns?

    DId WotC make a mistake? (Half-Elves)

    There were rumors of a Half-Fiend half-orc. Just wait until you meet the Half Celestial Half-orc.;)

    Thay assaults Rashemen! (Updates from the game...)

    On the other side of the coin, also keep in mind the Thayan military might be powerful in some ways but based on the books it's also pretty incompetant. Constant backstabbing and undercutting. The Rashameni might want to defend their city. The Thayan commander might want to capture it. But...

    D&D 3.5 Orcs: back to Tolkien?

    But unless I'm mis understanding he's not saying the novel borrowed from LotR. He's saying the cover did. Typically, the cover for a hardcover won't be done until well after the book is conceived of and usually is pretty far along in being written. Plenty of time for LotR inspiration...

    Feat for Reach Weapons

    I'm drawing a blank on this, but i'm pretty sure this is a feat someplace. Many reach weapons like a guisarme you can't use in adjacent hexes. Isn't there a feat someplace that allows you to basically shorten your grip on the weapon and use that close? Thanks.

    [SPOILERS] THE Return of the King Thread

    And let's face it, who better to know how to take advantage of what the ring does to you than Gollum? And the scene where Sam gave the ring back to Frodo was great. There's this pause where he's thinking about it. Really flashed back to the opening scene.

    [SPOILERS] THE Return of the King Thread

    I didn't think biting the finger off at the second joint is that big of a deal. At least from watching it today it certainly looks like more of the finger is bitten off than the tip. Gollum gets the finger in his mouth, tries to pull the ring off with his teeth. It doesn't work since past the...
