    DM Familiair vs. Campaign Suite vs. others...

    Thanks for bumping. As a new owner of a shiny new laptop, this question had been much on my mind. Off to download eval copies... -B-

    Are you going to buy the revised edition books?

    I'll definitely be buying the PHB. I reserve judgement on the DMG, but if the item creation rules are much improved I'll probably kick in there. I doubt I will buy the new MM.

    My ranger Poll results: See last post. (was beating the Ranger with a better stick)

    5-1)The ranger needs to be able to track from first level onwards, hence needs it as a bonus feat. 3-2)The Ranger should have a +1 BAB/Level 3-3)The ranger, being a rugged outdoorsman needs at least a d10 hitdie. *-4)The ranger needs extra feats that help him in combat, such as Point blank shot...

    errataphobia and the 3e revision

    I'm just hoping the Game Mechanics team sticks to a clear plan and doesn't make frivolous and untested changes. When revising the Star Wars RPG, they apparently just decided arbitrarily that you shouldn't be able to fight defensively when making a standard attack anymore. You could use total...

    Spellflinger PRC

    Hey y'all. One of my players has designed this prestige class, and as I peruse it for play balance, I thought I'd solicit a couple more sets of eyes. So, whattya think? Too powerful or weak? Any game-breakers? Let me know. Thanks! Barcode Proposed Prestige Class: Spellflinger “Take...

    Rural getaways near NYC???

    I hike Tuckerman's Ravine on Mt. Washington every April, and I'm not dead yet. However, I do agree with Nell. You need to be smart and prepared for the worst or else ye'll be jumped by Mr. Dead.

    Rural getaways near NYC???

    You must be taking a heck of a detour, then, or making a lot of stops. DC is a solid 4 hour drive from NYC driving the speed limit, made worse by traffic, but better by speeding a bit (I find the cops ignore you if you don't go past 74 in a 65 zone). Williamsburg is then about 2.5 hours south...

    DMs -- How Open Are You to Suggestions?

    Setting wise, I love it. I was initially glad to hear about ideas for prestige classes, until it became a contest of "Spot the Clever Way the Player Has Invented to Break the Game". Unfortunately, my initial laissez-faire attitude towards the characters development resulted in me having to...

    Rural getaways near NYC???

    The 'Gunks (the New Paltz, Mohonk, Minnewaska region) is a great area for rock climbing in warmer weather, as well as snowshoeing and x-country skiing in the winter. It is a little limited in other activities for a 3-4 day trip, IMO. It's a solid overnight though, and pretty close - only 2...

    Where did all the plastic go?

    Re: Plastic That is pretty much it. They know where and when they are now, since the first season (Dark Age) ended with a big battle by an eroded Mt. Rushmore, but it was a secret up until that point. The current season (Crusade) grants a smattering of exposure to past artifacts, but I am...

    Where did all the plastic go?

    Heya, Standard D&D fantasy milieu, but set in North America in the far-future, 10K years out or so, after the fall of the technological age of man. Trying to stay light on standard post apocalyptic elements (no mutants, radiation or spray paint). I want artifacts of the current day to be...

    What would survive?

    I completely agree, and have almost exclusively used previous city sites for the location of villages and cities in the world. The trickiest part is digging up the old maps and early history of each city to find out why people settled there. Los Angeles, for example, has been so heavily...

    What would survive?

    Re: Re: For another interesting read about post-apoc times.... Canticle for Leibowitz is in fact my primary influence for the campaign, which is titled Full Circle. CfL goes full circle in a much shorter time frame - the new renaissance is in full swing by 3741, but then CfL was written in...

    What would survive?

    My D&D campaign world is set in the far-future, well after the fall of the technological age of man. I have elements that account for the presence of the other races, the presence of magic and magical beasts, and other fantasy items. I am trying to get suggestions on artifacts and ruins that...

    Miasma - has it ever been officially clarified?

    Thanks for the references. Still, it appears that there is still no official word from WotC on the subject, since I am not aware of any errata for MotW. The errata of legend - the fort save negates - seems to be simple enough and makes enough sense to implement. It's still a mighty nasty...

    Miasma - has it ever been officially clarified?

    Y'know, the MotW spell that allows a 7th level druid to outright kill anything with an average constitution or lower, unless they have a stilled dispel magic prepared? The language is kind of ambiguous as to what the target can do while he is dying, but die he will, unless he can hold his...

    More reasons to love Monte

    I have only seen the Ranger, and I thought it was a little unbalancing. Are his Bard and Sorcerer too munchkin? What didn't you like about them?
