    Most lethal character level

    death level either 1st/2nd or right around 15+... at the low levels Mr Orc and his great axe will annihilate all... however around the higher levels you get a lot of the save or die spells. saves increase too little for DC increases through spellfocus/power/etc unless you powergame it to hell...

    Opinions on a PC idea

    The lovely stupidity of some players...

    i didnt witness this story occuring, but it was passed down to me. a group of adventurers were in a dungeon and, of course, do the silliest thing possible: split the party. enter the idiot. the idiot is wandering about scouting by himself and runs into a huge group of goblins... so he starts...

    coup de grace too powerful

    one thing on the Bestow Curse versus Hold Person... a lot of fighters will have things that prevent Hold Person (ie. Ring of Freedom of Movement). i cant think of anything that counters Bestow Curse other than a Ring of Counterspelling (and who would put a Bestow Curse in that!)

    2nd vs 3E rules. Most difficult transition?

    i think it took me the most while to get used to Skills versus Proficiencies. yes i know they're silly and unrealistic - but dammit i liked Proficiencies. i still like 2e better because 3e seems way more combat-oriented - but i do enjoy 3e. i just fear next week... when i play a campaign in...

    What exactly does "Blessed" do?

    Retrievers, Imps, Kytons, Cornugons, Gelugons, Pit Fiends only take real damage from blessed weapons & a few other things. repeat after me: Bless Weapon is your friend.

    Any Tips for GenCon?

    heh - reminds me of the RPGA Members meeting a few years back. Random Bigwig: "There will be a one hour break between the first and second half of the Living City Interactive." Crowd: "What will we do for a whole hour! We will be so bored!" Crowdpleaser: "Take a shower!" :D

    [POLL] What's the D&D gaming level "Sweet Spot?"

    i dont like the 3e system mentality of "We must give out xp by the Core Rules or we shall die! Bwahaha! Fear us!" if you do that, it goes FAR too fast in my opinion. ...getting back to the topic... i like the low-mid levels best. at high levels, things often get overly ridiculous & combats...
