Ok, I think I've got it... Sometimes my wife is good for ideas, and really helped me brainstorm this one out. The dragon has a secret on the Efreeti - which is why he trapped him. Seems the Efreeti is not of noble birth, and has lived a lie his entire life in order to gain rank within his...

(Player's in my Circvsmaximvs.com PbP - get out!) I need some advice on how to resolve this side-quest. So, in a small town, my (4th level) players decided to help the reclusive map and book dealer. He was obviously entranced by some book, which he wouldn't relinquish under any circumstance...

Exactly. But I don't intend to do this just for myself. I'll make it available in some form or another for anyone who enjoys E6/E8 style of play. I was thinking last night that an "E6 Bible" would be an extremely useful product to have.

Raising their size category? I assume you mean lowering it. I'm readjusting everything. It's not very plausible to be a 19th level spellcaster in a world where the highest level spellcaster is 6th (e6) or 8th (e8). Also, it kind of destroys my sense of verisimilitude for an ancient dragon to...

All right, Alzrius, calm down. Take a deep breath. First, it's a joke. Second, I despise 4th edition. I'm revising dragons to be more compatible with E6/E8, and they need some serious work in that department.

That's right. Just to prove how ridiculously over-powered dragons are in 3.5, I'm going to compare a baby dragon (wyrmling) to a cat. A common cat. For purposes of this comparison, I'll use a Black dragon, since their wyrmlings are size tiny. The cat is size tiny. A wyrmling black dragon is...

I can't help but think taking away some of their spellcaster progression would also make a lot more sense, and would go a long way towards toning them down. Maybe set the maximum dragon caster level to something like 2 higher than what mortals can achieve. It would still give dragons an edge...

I'm currently running an E8 (E6 variant up to 8th level) and I'm curious how others who have ran E6 or E8 deal with dragons. Do you change them at all? My concern is that, left unchanged, a great wyrm dragon would be completely, and utterly unstoppable in the D&D world, when even the most...

There's a very obvious meta-game reason for this. That's not what the game is for. You have to trace D&D back to its roots - a role-playing variation on a wargame simulation. All the original spells simulated things like musket fire and cannon fire, and other various and sundry ways to blow...

*sigh* Leave it to a bunch of D&D geeks to turn a perfectly awesome 4e-bashing thread into a debate about the abstraction of hit points. :erm:

The choice seems pretty clear to me. One is a PC class, and the other is a shade of red. I don't even know how you'd role-play rouge.

I love it. What a gamer. You go to Tampa, and you look for game stores. Go to the Salvador Dali museum, instead.

I filled it out. Also, you fail at making surveys.

That would have been a wonderful move, unfortunately, I don't think the Epic level handbook sold very well for 3e, and I suspect they wanted to avoid a repeat of that.

I think it was probably a natural extension of the idea of people "reading other people's minds" and use telepathy and mind-control, and having out of body experiences - this kind of stuff. Originally, I think you could get "wild talents" and not everyone had them - yes, a way to make certain...

I'm new to my current RL group. I have no idea how long they've been together. I've been with them for a year. I think they've been together for quite a while, though. But they only meet once a month, so they're not the most consistent gamers. I have no idea what their ages are. So, I'll...

It's too much. It's excessive. It's unnecessary.

I've basically felt this way for years now. With just 3 core rulebooks, I've already got more campaign ideas than I could ever possibly run in a lifetime. I never figured out why people needs a stack of extra rule books. Never figured it out.

I have what I want from Necromancer Games - support for "old school" style sandbox gaming. WoTC started out being what I wanted with 3.0. Splat books were nice, and I like having options, so long as they are sane and reasonable. Then WoTC started putting out things like Warlocks, Battle...

Either, really. I don't care.
