    Which dwarf book are you going to get?

    Man, why so much venom towards Jason Carl? He made a mistake early in 3E, but why is he still persecuted? Btw, Lords of Darkness was published November 2001. No, I don't have it. No, I don't play FR. Yes, I was disgusted with the whole S&F debacle, but I don't feel compelled to snipe him when...

    How do I turn Powergamers into Roleplayers?

    To thine own self be true. As many others have pointed out, it's all about gaming styles. Since you're the DM, don't change yourself so much that you stop having fun. If the players cannot flex their own styles, they shouldn't be in this group. No group should be sacred. No nuclear weapons...

    Official D&D site: PC Portraits Online

    It gives me a good idea of which artists I like and don't like. I wish WAR would do a few.

    How about a mirror, with psicrystal abilities? That way, it can enhance facets of her personality. She can then add additional facets as she desires.

    True Strike and Disarm.

    This works. Just don't be surprised if the warrior you disarmed attempts to take his weapon back from the wizard.

    May Your Character's R.I.P

    We're playing through Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, and Death walks beside us. *SPOILERS* Our scout bled to death after being mauled savagely by wolves. He got better, but only because his fiendish father mocked him for his weakness. Our warrior died next, after taking on...

    Recommended Story Hours?

    I second the Heretic of Wyre, and Lady Despina's Virtue before. The others mentioned are good, but no other Story Hour makes me boggle at the imagery and sheer drama and power that is Sepulchrave's writing.

    The Heretic of Wyre

    I love this Story Hour. But I hope Sep publishes Wyre through a smaller company than WotC, since I want things NOW and not years down the road.:D

    Lady Despina's Virtue - Continued

    Magic Vestment

    Oops, forgot the Karma Bead, making him a 10th level cleric.

    Magic Vestment

    Gah! I just looked at the "+3 shield", and didn't look at "6th level cleric". My bad. My party is going through RttToEE, too. I have a cohort who packs the following weapons, after encountering a slew of heavily armored troglodytes: ranseur (disarm), guisarme (trip), mancatcher (grapple), net...

    Magic Vestment

    A: Yes. B: Have you tried using a Dispel Magic, followed up by reach weapons, Trip attacks, Grapple attempts, and Aid Another actions?

    Oh yeah, Robert Wiese's my new best friend...

    I think he meant "use-activated", and I think he modeled the Ring of Haste after the Ring of Blinking, which doesn't have a duration as far as I can tell.

    Lady Despina's Virtue - Continued

    Best. Story Hour. Ever.

    Question about the "Landlord" feat from SBG

    No no, there are two columns in the table attached to this feat: the first column describes the amount you receive when you first take the feat, and the second describes the additional amounts you receive as you level. It's not a linear relationship, since 25,000 gp becomes less significant in...

    Question about the "Landlord" feat from SBG

    Like Leadership, this feat is pretty Epic in scope. The book's numeric example is actually in the (sixth?) paragraph above Note:

    Question about the "Landlord" feat from SBG

    Let's use some numbers. A 9th lvl character with the Landlord feat automatically gets 25,000 gp to "spend" on his stronghold. In addition, any money he cares to spend on that stronghold is matched on a 1:1 basis. As the character levels, he gains additional funds to improve his stronghold, as...

    Important change of policy from RPGNow

    Why doesn't RPGNow simply charge for the service of linking back to a publisher's shopping-enabled website? Wouldn't that be a win-win for both, and convenience for the consumer as well?
