I was OK at first with the whole decimal system of currency that they have in 3e, but the more we play, and the higher the characters get, the less I like it. My biggest problem is the lack of complexity and general transparency across cultures/governments leaves the flavor pretty bland. I...

Arms and Equipment Guide lists a Maul as: Large Martial Weapon - Melee 15gp - 1d10 damage - x3 Crit - (no range increment) - 20lb - Bludgeoning

I think I will amend this to allow for still using the wand, even when it is specifically grappled, but having the opposed grapple check determine who it hits... Thx, -B-

In the original case, the PC's (including Marcus) are infiltrating an asylum for insane sorcerers. Therefore beefy, bull-strengthed orderlies (including Vincent and Jules) use grapple a lot and need to keep the inmates from casting spells they oughtn't. FWIW, here is the response I gave to...

No swearing until 9pm, when our host's four year old goes to bed, then we are known to bump up the golly gee's to gosh darn's or sometimes even stronger.

Sword and Fist, Page 61. What's really weird is that it didn't go into Savage Species... -B-

Heya, A player disputed my ruling last night, and I promised to bring the matter up to y'all for arbitration. Question: Can a character use a wand while grappled, if he has it in hand before the grapple is started, and the target is the grappler? Since there is an explicit list of things...

Dude, they're just kidding around. Relax. 'Sides, I like it when it's cold. Wouldn't live here if I didn't. I'd live someplace where the temperature was the same: All. Year. Long. -B-

OK, I'll ask the question here where I can be sure the subject will be handled sensitively and maturely, rather in the bosom of my family and close friends, who will rag on me no end: What is the deal with the rubber bands? I was confused all through Fight Club. Do they help in the castration...

I voted for Broken, mostly because it is integral to the most overused post template, namely: "I am righteously indignant! A game company has produced/done something that does not meet with my satisfaction! I prophesy grave consequences for the game and related enterprises! I hereby denounce...

I'm in the middle of adopting the DMGenie tool to help with running my game, so I had to collect up the player character sheets and look at them carefully for the first time so I could plug them into the system. Player 1, the most rules-knowledgeable of the players in the group, had allocated...

Just read through this thread and the one at WotC (research for the discussion I know I will have at my game this weekend). Just gotta say: I love you guys. Clear, well reasoned, well spelled arguments abound on these boards, and only a couple of people are rude and obnoxious.:p Just the...

Wha...? You crackin' wise, boy? When I was your age we had more respect for our elders. Why I oughta...I oughta... Ah, hell I'm old... :( I can still lick any one-a you whippersnappers tho'... 'Course whippersnapper don't taste as good as it useta back in the day... I'll rant more...

Been gone almost 19 years now, but I grew up in Goshen (class of '84). Played my first RPG's in the basement of the Presbyterian Church in the center of town. I thought it sucked then, but I recently drove through and it seems in misty retrospect a cool little town. Still no game store...

Umbral Creature template is in Savage Species. Level Adjustment +5

Hey All, Anyone ever hear of a ruling on the effects of Darkvision on a Shadowdancer's Hide in Plain Sight ability? The power relies on the presence of a nearby shadow (presumably to draw over the shadowdancer - "clouding the mind" so to speak), but someone viewing the area with darkvision...

I like to involve each PC in a personal sub-plot and I find this hard to do with my current group of six. I usually have a rule of four players plus or minus one, with four being ideal. However, two players who I really like playing with both came to me at the last minute before the campaign...

Thanks so much for the lesson on making posts entertaining. It is such an honor to be schooled by a master. I will try cool idiomatic spellings and smilies from now on, in the hopes of reducing my inanity.:rolleyes: Also, I guess I never thought about the crippling effect a minor comment...

Look mommy, a troll! Can I pet it?

Your other points notwithstanding, the saddest thing is not the fact that everyone has a price, but rather how low that price usually is...
