    Evaluation of 3.5 Rule Changes.

    -This is the weakness of the new monster info rules. Adventurers, heirs to long-established civilizations, might not know anything about "classic"/"common" monsters. Like vampires. Or skeletons. -A player in a game I was in asked if he could use his adamantine arrow to destroy a stone door. I...

    Evaluation of 3.5 Rule Changes.

    Get out of my head! ;)

    Which class is the most useless?

    Or a stupid player. Like the Elven Druid. 10 Strength. First level. Instead of casting say, Entangle. He uses his spear. And his animal companion? Heavy Horse. Gah.

    What were the FotR's magic items?

    Hard fail. Gollum.

    Which class is the most useless?

    Using the Bo9S, you can easily get flanking with Island of Blades Stance. And your rogues should try WMD sometime--the spellcasters should share their scrolls with the rogue.

    Which class is the most useless?

    I was thinking about this for a second, how anyone could think that...and then I realized--Wis to AC! Riiight!

    Bad DM'ing night

    A) You can take 20 on Escape Artist, IIRC. B) WTF were they going to do to the orcs? It's not like they're like my wizard player, who spends money on scrolls of higher level spells (Cloudkill, fr'ex) when he's 5th level. These guys deserved it.

    What are the top 10 elements of a Lovecraft adventure?

    Actually, I've heard of two. One is a group of isolated, depraved humans with an advanced culture...and the other is a group of normal humans started because the other group is too decadent and doesn't do anything against the Mi-Go.

    What are the top 10 elements of a Lovecraft adventure?

    Wilbur was obliged to carry a gun because of dogs attacking him. I thought Wilbur Whately was shot by the museum guards at Miskatonic U's library? Consulting the text... Ah, the dog did kill Wilbur. Pretty nasty dog, too.

    Dealing With The Fun Of Area of Effect Spells

    Zombie Wolves. They keep their base speed.

    What are the top 10 elements of a Lovecraft adventure?

    Strange, the rules don't seem to support that at all.

    How much do you want dungeon crawls?

    If I could play through a classic 1e dungeon scenario (in 3e), I'd jump on it. I want to see how it works as a player. I want to do White Plume Mountain or the Ghost Tower of Inverness or something like that. A combination of traps, puzzles, physical obstacles and combat--in odd shaped rooms...

    What are the top 10 elements of a Lovecraft adventure?

    Here's a list of things I made when I was looking at various prefab scenarios to select one as my first scenario to run, ever. I wanted as broad a range of things as possible: (no particular order) 1. PCs dealing with strange/magical objects. 2. Investigating someone or something through local...

    RHOD Help - **Spoilers**

    The Manual of the Planes has an Air Element template that I would love to see applied to a Giant Octopus. Basically just gets fly speed 100', good maneuverability. Abishai are a good choice. If you have them fly and use their SLAs, they could be very dangerous. I just got through running a...

    amazon: Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress: A Hip Girl's Guide to the D&D Game

    I don't believe V ever used any magic in the graphic novels or the movie. ;)

    Poll: Power creep in 3.5, how significant?

    Exactly what I was going to say. RHoD does involve Orcs primarily, right? Personally, I'd want to change things up with some ogres or something different than Orcs at some point during the adventure.

    What makes a Monty Haul Game?

    Heward's Handy Haversack, :):):):):):):)! I buy one every campaign I'm in. Seriously, follow the wealth by level guidelines. That is, if you're playing 3e.

    The Frenzied Berserker: I'm Just Curious

    Sounds a lot like Rambo: First Blood. If D&D were a point buy system all the characters totals would go down by ten. That guy's lucky. A less forgiving party might put him down like the animal he had become.

    Poll: Power creep in 3.5, how significant?

    That Warlock is using Hideous Blow in melee, right? d6 HD means he will need that 7 DR to survive...and 7 isn't that much. Use large sized creatures with high strength and a two handed weapon (4 ogre Rgr2s, for an EL9) and 7 DR doesn't seem very much at all. Let's see...9000 gp worth of stuff...
