    Well, do you?

    I like it, but perhaps not as daily news. I think it would be perfect as something updated in a sidebar, whenever you felt like it.

    Is hardness really this hard?

    Thanks for the help! Sorry for the original convoluted post. It came at the end of a huge tactical session, and I was pretty tired. :) So it seems that creatures with Hardness are just incredibly tough badasses, in terms of not taking damage. Thanks, everyone!

    Is hardness really this hard?

    I'm a DM, and we just finished our weekly session. So say that you have a wizard who's forte is creating Animated Objects en masse, using a ritual of his own design. I chose Animated Objects over typical golems, thinking that they would be easier for a level five party to fight. Animated...

    [OT] What degree(s) do you have?

    BS in Mechanical Engineer / Materials Specialization MS in Computer Science Of course, there's a lot more to each of us than our degrees. I mean, for example, I'm a much better fiction writer or Dungeon Master than I am a Mechanical Engineer. :)

    DUNGEON MAG: What adventure/issue # is this?

    If you could tell me more about the barbarian scenario, I could tell you which Dungeon it appears in. They have a couple barbarian tribe-type stories spread across their 3e issues.

    Price-Sensitive Gamers

    I'll just chime in and agree with those who say that they wished that some RPG books cost more. I want the best RPG books I can get. I want brilliant people to be able to support themselves by writing and producing great material for this hobby. This is my favorite hobby. I want it to be...

    Cure x Wounds - Explain this

    Because the fighter didn't take four times as much damage. HPs are not your flesh getting tougher, they describe the ability to live through things that would kill other people. So, likely the fighter deflected/dodged/willed/whatever the axe away from hitting anything vital. It's not as if he...

    Why modify (house rule) Spring Attack?

    Hi everyone. I noticed in one of the recent chat logs that in Monte Cook's home game, he modified Spring Attack to force a 10' move both before and after the attack. Morrus concurred that he uses a similar modification. I'm running a game where one of the PCs just obtained the feat, and it...

    Why do people think high-level play is munchkin? I've got a theory

    Sorry to jump in late. Maybe it's just the way that most munchkins talk about their characters. "I have an 19th level Anti-Paladin who just got Mass Death Strike!" "I just got a new castle in the middle of the capital city, and it has fiendish evil gargoyles all over it!" "My character stole...

    Paladin prestige class; the zealot

    Nice idea Hi! I really like the class. The flavor text, prereqs and granted abilities line up well. II have a couple of requests for clarification on the granted abilities: Each bonus needs a descriptor, like "a divine bonus to Will saves". Then we know how and with what it stacks, for...

    Help finding "Any Weapon Master" prestige class?

    Hi everyone. Is there an existing fighter-themed prestige class that is targetted at the fighter who wants to be good, even excellent, with any weapon? Something that, over ten levels, gives abilities like: Weapon Focus (all martial), Exotic Weapon Proficiency (all exotic), and finally, Weapon...

    Questions for Chris Pramas

    2 Questions Hi Chris. I love Green Ronin's work. Do you or any other Green Ronin writer use any software tools to help create or manage your stuff? If so, which ones?

    Human only campaigns - good? bad? tips? ideas?

    You said that you were soliciting "me, too" posts. :) An all human campaign can be wonderful. Since most people play demi-humans as a simple personality stereotype, you can easily do what many others on this thread are suggesting and have different cultures for the humans. And to echo another...

    What would you change about your gaming group?

    I hardly ever laugh out loud when reading forums. Thanks. I'd have all my players magically adapt to my own weird gaming style, in a perfect balance of give and take where the story is thick and the world perfectly shared. They'd understand the delicate balance between a strong character and an...

    Players reading DM-only material

    Berandor is right, and so is Tsyr. :) In my game, I gave the players a list of "common sense": common creatures that everyone knows about. Troll would be on that list, as would ogre, giant, and another 25 common enemies. Anything not on that list is fair game for modification, so ogre mages...
