    Assassins Evil?

    I know Hollywood likes to portray the sniper that way, but I don't put much stock in most of the post-Vietnam war Hollywood visions of the military. On top of that, none of those descriptions equal evil. Those could be used to describe a successful athlete. By the nature of the job/mission...

    Assassins Evil?

    Nah, neither works. The folks in any modern western military are neither more good or less good than the general population. And within the military there is no distinction as to more good or less good based upon your military skills or designation.

    Animate Dead on Multiple Spell Lists

    I'm with Danny on this one. I'll put my thinking cap on and see if I can't come up with an alternate class feature or feat that would help in this situation. Thanks, Rich

    Do you pull the chain?

    The key is "You’ve finished off your objective in this dungeon". You are done with that dungeon. Live and decide what your next quest will be. But then the that little voice says, "maybe we'll get some really cool stuff if we pull that chain". Open the portable hole, command your undead...

    All-in-one games and cross-overs

    Thanks. The PCs place of origin was my home brew and it wasn't based on any place or specific time. Mixed bunch is a good description as I allowed them to roll up any 3E character they wanted. Thanks again, Rich

    All-in-one games and cross-overs

    I ran a game where the PCs discovered a room of portals to different times and places. As part of their adventures they found crystal rods of different materials that when placed in slots in a bricked up door way would open the portal. They were able to go to: 1. Tatooine (and beyond if they...

    It doesn't get much worse than this!

    Taggart! I never missed that show when I lived in the UK. I remember asking my wife, "who are the Poliss?" XPs coming right up for that bit of nostalgia.

    Fun to Read... Boring/Bad to Play

    Agreed. I mentioned the Arcanum in another thread tonight. It's a fun read, but we ended up adapting some of it to 1e AD&D instead of attempting to play the game straight up. This was back in the day when we would take any new PC or NPC class from The Dragon, White Dwarf and D&D clone-like...

    Star Wars minis on sale at Target

    Hi Gang, I stopped Target (in Ashburn, VA, USA) this evening and found all of their Star Wars minis on sale 40% to 65% off. For what it's worth, that's as good and slightly better than the discount your FLGS received from his or her distributor. Thanks, Rich

    Favote Fantasy RPG(s) other than D&D

    Mine are: 1. DragonQuest. 2. GURPS. 3. MERP & Role Master, though we never played either straight up. We mined the modules and spell lists for 1e AD&D. 4. Palladium FRPG. Again, mined this one for 1e AD&D. 5. Arcanum. Yet again, mined this for 1e AD&D Thanks, Rich

    Really Good feats for a Duskblade?

    Shin, good stuff as usual. I tried to give you XPs, but have to spread some around first. Thanks, Rich

    Crazy PC deaths

    Argh, thanks. I swear I must have BSE (lived in the UK from '89 to '95 and ate alot of beef. Not making light of it where it has hit people for real; I can't give blood here in the US as a result of my residency there. Anyway...I thought I had come up with the goblin children idea, but maybe...

    Crazy PC deaths

    Really? I BS you not...did that happen (death by mini baseball bat) in Hostel? I haven't seen the movie. Thanks, Rich

    Crazy PC deaths

    Not epic, but... PC Fighter beaten to death by goblin children wielding small baseball bats (like the ones you get on Bat Day at your local ball park).

    Changing eldritch knight prereqs

    Sounds like you might want to play a Duskblade? 3.5E PHB2.

    Anyone run into this before?

    Not much to add along the "chained Magic Jars"...iow...haven't run across it yet. But as this is the 'catch all' Legacy forum! In 1E when somebody died it was usually a race between the Cleric, the Druid and the Magic User to see who brought the dead guy back. Cleric for Raise...

    Dreadnecromancer martial weapon

    If the DM agrees maybe go with: Broadsword, 1d10, 19-20/x2 from Mongoose's Conan D20 game. It's a martial weapn in that rule set. I let my 12 y/o use one with his Dread Necromancer.
