A hyper optimized one note character example: Frenzied Barbarian Berserker. So, what's your character do? Well, he can, um, swing an axe. And, what about roleplaying? Well, he talks to his axe...alot. Ok, so what happens if he gets upset/attacked/confronted? Oh, then he gets mad and is...

I'll tell you the difference I always thought between talents and feats: Talents are those things you BEGIN your adventuring career with locked up, that really help to differentiate people, should they be effectively identified and unlocked. Everyone has talents, but not everyone recognized...

Forgotten Realms All of the greatest campaigns were run in th FR. I look back particularly fondly on the first FR campaign run from the grey box. Richness, depth, intrigue, innovation, and the maddest lootz!!! This one has it all.

Vigiliance, You haven't exactly had the reaction that Monte had when he started releasing information in little nuggets about his Arcana Unearthed setting, are you? I know that sure can be frustrating. The good news is, haveing lurked around these boards for so many years, I know all these...

Several really good examples in here: 1) Play with the role of a "theives' guild" a) They are the resistance (ie, Robin Hood) b) They are the law when there is no other law (ie, Batman) c) They are perhaps a "good" agency that works for the government (ie, Alias) 2) Play with...

Vigiliance, I too love the show Alias. Superb. I've implemented the static skill check in my campaigns, and never had a problem with it. I used your rule almost verbatim: straight up = skill +10, upperhand = skill +20. So, I've got to say, I really like the idea. This works particularly...

That's some great Forgotten Realms advice here. A tour of the realms should certainly include zhentil keep, a wizard's tower in Thay, a game hunt through the woods in Cormyr, exploring the ancient ruins of Myth Drannor, crossing the invisible bridge into Silverymoon, attending a dinner at the...

First, are you looking for a win/win or a win/lose scenario: In a win/lose scenario, either fight fire with fire, or find they're kryptonite. I'll take a random guess here, but your solutions are essentially to play up on one or two sentences in a key sourcebook, and build an entire...

Excellent. I hear a theme of "elemental air" for the environment, "time/immortality" for the obstacle, and "anti-magic" for the BBEG. One note that I'd definitely recommend, is that you can't ever, ever, ever put all your eggs in one basket at this level - the threat will have to come from...

Going to college, I was actively involved in Hope Fellowship, a group of chrisitian students, at Ashland University. Although as college students we were all far from "perfect" most of the people were pretty straight laced. The leaders of the group were terrific role models and tended to lead...

Saturday's crowd seemed really big when I was looking for players in the afternoon. There was a huge crowd in the RPGA room, as well as 200 people mustering for Living Arcanis. I'd love to know the real numbers on Origins. I've always heard it was the second largest convention in the...

Is that true even with the GPV appropriate for a PC of it's level? I thought this was true stat wise, but not magic item wise.

I'm looking for the pre-gens at 17th level myself. If anyone knows where else they may be located that would be very cool. If they're not out there, I'd be happy to share my work with everyone.

Great work, Stonegod. Much appreciated. Anyone second that ruling? What about a Barb with DR x/-, can't they buff this by taking 1/- DR feats? Would they stack because they are the same TYPE of DR the /-? Easy enough for me, I just switch the Armor Spec feat for this character to Cleave...

Do damage reduction effects stack? For example, Hammer of Moradin has 6/- DR and Armor Specialization from PH2 provides 2/- DR with one type of armor. Does this character have 8/- with their favored armor or would they only get the benefit of the greater of the two? Any rulings would be...

I'll be there running D&D with Amorphous Blob Games! Stop by and check us out for a heaping helping of gaming goodness. I'll be running a new high level adventure this year.

Greetings Shark! The dwarves of the FR have seen nations rise and fall. They have held their own place among the greatest and most productive nations on Abeir-Toril. Their underground, mountainous strongholds are still the greatest labyrinths that the FR have to offer: Mithral Hall, Illefarn...

I'm nearly in tears to see 9 different posts from you today SHARK. There is such a thing as TOO MUCH of a good thing! Your writing and analogy to our own history is always outstanding. I had to read this one out loud to my wife tonight (not a gamer, not a history buff), and even she was...
