    Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

    I have a vague idea about an arcane caster who's focused on the various Prismatic spells (probably with levels in Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil, if that's OK). I have an overwhelming urge to cast Prismatic Spray while yelling "Taste the rainbow!" :)

    CLOSED: Recruiting Call for The Colour of Fear

    It's been over a month. I guess it's officially dead, Jim. :( Too bad, I was really liking the idea of my character. Let me know if you want to try to revive it.

    How Much is That Fighter in the Window?

    I agree that the Leadership feat has a real place. I think the problem is that D&D tries to have it both ways. There's the Leadership feat, but then there are affiliations and teamwork benefits which you get if your GM is feeling generous or is impressed with your roleplaying. If game balance...

    Interesting campaign map

    I like this. And to travel between the worlds you have to find "weak spots." Of course, any place that's land in one world is open ocean in the other and vice-versa. I picture a mage transporting himself and an entire sailing vessel through a weak spot into central Kansas. :)

    "Hit" and "Miss"

    This is what's been bugging me lately (though it may be slightly off-topic for this thread). As nerfherder says, a "hit" that does damage is just using up luck/dodging at first. Unless you use poison, in which case the weapon must have broken the skin to work. So when the drow are peppering...

    Insight's "The Shadow of Set" - IC Thread

    Avardis looks askance at the halfling for a moment, but then shrugs remembering his transformation during their recent battle. "I, for one, will need a mount," he replies. "Though I've not ridden much. How far is it to the site of your first battle?"

    How to run a big scene without bogging down?

    This sounds very much like a D&D Miniatures warband, and leads to another option. You could use DDM miniatures and rules (if you have them) for everybody but the PCs and the important bad guys (faction leaders and big critters). Let the players help run the DDM factions as suggested.

    Sneak attack and scorching ray?

    Really? The difference I see is that Manyshot calls for only one attack roll. With Scorching Ray you have to roll to hit with each one. But if that's the example they used in Complete Arcane, I guess that answers it. I'll have to look at that when I get home.

    How Much is That Fighter in the Window?

    This is exactly what I do. But in this case it would be nice if there was something to discard. :) It's far too easy, when you're winging it, to say "the PCs are filthy rich...they should be paying their employees way better than this." It would be nice if there was a baseline "going rate"...

    Sneak attack and scorching ray?

    As far as I know, yes the Sneak Attack applies to every ray.

    How Much is That Fighter in the Window?

    It's fine to say "roleplay it," but then you give your own example of where some guidance could be useful. You can't pay hirelings 1SP per day and expect them to face danger. Fair enough. But how much should you pay them? And how much should you pay that level 6 rogue? Rather than throwing...

    d20 Logo News

    Well speaking as a consumer (as opposed to a publisher) I can say the d20 license has never meant anything to me. I view all OGL/SRD products the same way whether they have the logo or not. I think it's smart of WotC, though. They get a certain degree of quality and content control, but push...

    [NFL] Pats vs. Colts - make your prediction here!

    Ah, my mistake. But 48 is pretty darn close. :)

    [NFL] Pats vs. Colts - make your prediction here!

    But how many of those get made by anybody? That's a LONG way. Although the Packers kicker nailed one that long this week.

    [NFL] Pats vs. Colts - make your prediction here!

    Well we can all hold our cheering, booing, bragging and wailing. None of it makes much difference until the NEXT time they play (which I assume will be the AFC championship game). Hopefully the fingernail marks in my cheeks and palms will have healed up by then so I can make new ones. :) Oh...

    Insight's "The Shadow of Set" - IC Thread

    At Akhwan's suggestion, Avardis' attention is obviously quickend. As if to offset to G'sharn's ambivalence, he states, "Indeed they will, my friend. I have no doubt we'll be able to find some sort of indication of where to find the chalice if we but try." He turns to Akhwan. "Grand Master,"...

    Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#29)---10/29/07-'The Line'

    So I saw an ad yesterday where they pretty much said the plague was/will be caused by the company's experiment (the image was Nikki/Jessica holding the syringe that Mohinder was supposed to use on Micah's cousin, and the voice-over said something like "all from a few drops of this"). They're...

    No pro-football thread here???

    But Detroit is 6 and 2, right? And Minnesota won big today. The packers are not running away with it by any means. I thought the division was supposed to be weak?

    Oots 501!

    Note that he doesn't have the patch in the first two "trying to find allies" panels, but does in the last two. Something happened...

    Help save my marriage via Tech Support!

    Yay for G4. I actually watched the most recent episode on NBC.com and had problems with it freezing myself. I waited a bit and tried again and it worked fine. Just busy, I guess.
