    Knight's Challenges

    I like the class, I just wish they had used something other than CR for the challenge. This makes it a pain to use NPC knights against PCs. Admittedly, it's a small complaint, but I know I'll get arguments for "your CR is higher than your level since you're on 28-point buy, have buffs from...

    D&D 3.x Here's What I Wish I Could Fix About 3E/4E

    You're the third to point this out. I guess 1 post in 10 isn't a bad noise ratio. So now that the joke is out of the way, what do you think of the OP's point?

    MERGED -- "Dragons: Worlds Afire" ad causes horizontal scrollbar

    I'm not seeing them. Do they run through doubleclick? I've got those blocked.

    D&D 3.x Here's What I Wish I Could Fix About 3E/4E

    As others have noted, this is already in the game by way of starting packages. What I'd like to see is a 0-level, with d4 HD, no Feats, no BAB, no save bonuses, and a choice of one set of basic class features from a "menu" - and you don't necessarily have to go into that class, but you lose the...

    D&D 3.x Here's What I Wish I Could Fix About 3E/4E

    I really like the idea of having an optional 0-level. Time spent at this level should be very short, perhaps 50-100 xp.

    what does your DM do with your character when your gone?

    In my game, you get two choices if you tell me ahead of time: plot-immunity (no permanent damage/death) and no xp or full xp and full consequences. Either way one of the other players "gets" to run the character. If a player just no-shows, I go with full consequences/full xp by default, and...

    Hordes of the Abyss: Q&A

    An inexperienced DM running monsters with CRs in the low 20s? Yeah, it sure would suck to get up over 15-18th level and still consider the DM inexperienced. Really, when does this happen?

    Top 10 odd D&D weapons

    If a feat can allow you to brew magic potions, I'll believe a feat can allow you to wield an unlikely weapon.

    How many dice do you put out?

    I have a couple pounds of dice nearby when I DM, but no squirreling is allowed!

    Do You Consider Miniatures Painting And/Or Collecting Part Of Your RPG Hobby?

    Where do you prefer to do your roleplaying? (Online vs. Tabletop)

    Role-playing is something I do when training people at work. I prefer to play role-playing games at home, in my garage.

    Gods and Demon Lords, how do you handle them?

    It changes from campaign to campaign, but with few exceptions thel gods in my game can't read minds, be in more than one place at a time (sans avatar, at least), see more than one place at a time, or directly kill a mortal without the permission of that mortal's god. Demon lords/princes are the...

    Do You Prefer 4 Or More Players (+ DM) When RPGing?

    I have 7-8 players right now (not sure, since one is National Guard, and could be shipped out any time now :( ) It's a bit much, but we manage it. I prefer 5 or more, because it tends to lead to more diverse parties. I noticed by your sig that your name is Frank Brunner. Are you the illustrator...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Rules Lawyers and other players that memorize the books have bigger things to worry about in my game :]

    Feats: Not enough or too many?

    I voted "Drowning", but only because of the variety of sources. I hope sometime before 4E WotC comes out with a compendium of feats. Unless the page count was low, they could easily reprint all of them if they consolidated many of the similar feats.

    So how long have YOU been playing D&D?

    28 years. I've been DMing every week now for the last few years, but I'd say the average over time would be closer to every other week. Gotta be close to 1,000 games now.

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    No kidding. I'm worried that in the next edition balors will be yet another critter removed from the average DMs arsenal. In my mind, there were more than 6. MMI had flavor text suggesting there were only six, while MMII had flavor text suggesting there were more. As a DM you had to decide...
