The original setting was definately the best - and I haven't seen the Dragon version yet. It can't actually be a full setting though. The revised Box Set took everything that really set Dark Sun apart for me and flushed it down the toilet. Jungles? You can kill Dragon Kings? No, it wasn't...

Why does Woodland Stride allow you to ignore underbrush, but not grapple checks?

If any of the standard familiars in the PHB had anything close to hands (such as the raccoon or a monkey) they'd be a lot more useful. Since they can't speak to anyone (unless it's a raven) you can't use them for communication, they obviously don't fight, etc. Plus, it just seems to me that...

double post - sorry

I run a solo campaign for my wife. There's always an NPC or three who has common cause with her quest du jour. Only one NPC has stuck with her throughout the campaign so far; most come and go. Even that one NPC has a story arc of his own, and when it moves away from my wife's character's...

Well, as for Antimagic, I would just say that the contents are inaccessible for the time in the field. As for MD ... well the spell required to create a Bag of Holdlig is Secret Chest. That spell stores you items in a container in the Ethereal Plane while a small Replica container serves as...

Sounds like a job for a Commoner1 with Handle Animal and a hound! (Assuming you can get the dog to follow the Ogre, and not run the other way. They must has some dogs trained to follow humanoid scent...)

Unfortunately for your GM's game (and that's only a maybe), no. They did something evil, you're a good PC. In the end, no matter what you say, those two facts cannot be resolved. You're not a Paladin, but if you were you would have had to leave them a long time ago. However, your PC was...

It's almost like all the Schools are useful, or somthin'. That's why I haven't answered the poll: There's no "None. Generalists Rock." All the Schools are cool, and they all have their weaknesses. Summoners are too prone to being hedged out/ dispelled; Evokers are too prone to using a...

I think the best consequence should be to remove the Paladin's powers and let him know it's the Mage's fault. The Paladin & Ranger can then atone to the Dwarves (somehow) to get their stuff back. How did the mage not lose his spellbook?

Rationalization - Sundering a weapon or object requires you to change your focus from attacking a person to attacking something they have in their hand and can easily move. It requires more attention and aim. Game Balance - Once you sunder a fighter's main weapon he's pretty helpless; or at...

I see "Sunder a Weapon" and "Sunder an Object" under "Standard Actions." I mention "Strike an Object" because the Feat itself say "you may sunder an object such as a weapon." The Improved Sunder feat allows you to sunder either without provoking an AoO. I see under the Sunder feat that it's a...

dang - double post.

In some of Raymond E. Feist's later Riftwar books some of the various characters began to explore the Hall of Worlds and The Inn, which is a gathering place that does not exist in any world. Briefly, you have to know where the Gates were on any particular world - and they didn't look like...

You're confusing evil means with evil ends. Both of the brothers in your story may have good (or lawful) desires and goals, but the act of channeling negative energy itself is the evil part. Your sword analogy is not appropriate because a sword is made of steel, a natural substance. A sword...

Well, I don't know how the d20 Modern stuff works, but I would say that my friend Paul is definately a Monk5/Bard5/Expert3 - what else would you call someone who's competed in marital arts, sang high opera on broadway(Italian, French, German), been recruited by the CIA and graduated from law...

Personally, I believe that channeling the powers of un-life, of Negative Energy is always evil. You can have 'good' reasons for using it - but it is an absolute evil. You have brought something into the world which should not be. Damn it John, don't you realize that just by aknowledging hong...

Sweet lordy, that's just Rat-Bastardly. On topic, I always assumed that the Lich only needed the phylactery to reform after being destroyed. The Phylactery's destruction has no effect on him other than that though. Come to think of it though, if his life force is in the Phylactery, and after...

You have weird dreams - cool, but weird. Grass has probably grown over her legs. The forest floor will have to be ripped off of her to allow her to stand...and that's if there aren't any vines or ivy plants in the area. Any kind of creeper plant could have her completely mummified by now...

Hong & Painfully beat me to my method - just use a flow chart with line connecting the major rooms and encounters. "Hoops" should have a notations for monsters, unique qualities (mineral water pool), etc. "Lines" should have a notation for rough distance and description of any obstacles...
