    Fireball or Lightning Bolt?

    The one thing that I really like about Lightning Bolt is that it hits targets in a narrow line. This has proved useful in games more times than I can count.

    Moving to Oak Ridge TN

    :D I always like to pretend they are a slalom course. I know a few gamers in the area around K-town, but they play Star Wars, not DnD. If you check around the UT campus, you'll probably find some sort of student organization or something.

    Me Bro found a new part time job today.....

    Sooo... you live in Engalnd? Can you bring your bike inside? That's what one of my friends does. Keep us posted on what your neighbour says when he sees the rubbish out front. I love the smell of roasted vermin on Guy Fawkes Day! ;)

    Do the PCs follow the same rules as everyone else?

    I give them larger point buys and, since they are full classes, rather than NPC classes, they get more feats and abilities. NPC characters with PC classes have the same feats and abilities. I also allow max HP at first level, and I encourage average hp every level after that. NPCs and...

    What's with these spells???

    Hallucinatory Terrain: I've usded it most frequently as a DM. In fact, I don't know if I've ever used it as a player, and I don't think I'd take it as known spell if I was playing a sorcerer. It is most usful for laying traps, hiding the actual terrain, or causing people to get lost...

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    I've mentioned him before, but I'll briefly tell the story again. We'll call him Mr. Codependent-cheater-weirdo-freakdaddy. First he cheated a lot on his die rolls. Then he lied to me about what the rules said, deliberating misquoting them. Then he started getting all these weird ideas...

    How do you like to get XP?

    All the DMs in our group do ad hoc xp. We typically just tell the players when they go up levels. We all tend to keep an eye on it, since we all know the rules. But there is also the fact that the level of the characters has a lot to do with how the encounters play out, and that is very...

    So, What Does CE Stand For Again?

    Worse, try gaming with someone who knows the rules, is reading them aloud from the book, and deliberately misquotes them in an attempt to mislead you. I caught a guy doing that because I happened to have that same section of text memorized. I'm glad I don't game with him any more.

    Assassins without spells

    Check out the Knave . Its a rogue type base class with more than 140 special abilities you can select from to construct the exact type of character you want, just like a fighter selects feats. An assassin without spells is very easy to build with the Knave. Its even mentioned in the firt...

    The Dungeons and Dragons II: Wraith of the Dragon God spoiler filled thread.

    I thought it was a whole lot better than the first one, and a little better than I expected. Liked: Damodor getting pumped in the backside with a magic potion or something Discovering the sleeping dragon When Nim started laughing when the mage's figurine was destroyed When the cleric got...

    Suggestion on a mount for a Dwarf Paladin?

    I've always liike dwarves on giant bats. I have a whole tribe of them in one of my homebrews. But that probably won't work well in an underdark campaign.

    If you had a Time Machine...

    Yeah. I've always thought that Franklin would be one of the cooler guys from history to talk to I'd like to talk to Jefferson too. For entertainment, I'd go back to the 1960s and catch al lthe cool shows (Hendrix, Beatles, Floyd, etc). I'd also go hang out with Jesus, and the Buddha for...

    So How Does Your Group Distribute Treasure?

    Depends on the PCs and the tone of the game. Sometimes, when we are playing high combat games, we adopt a community approach to treasure, dividing it up on a "best use" basis. Other times, we play it out in character. Good characters usually try to make sure the treasure is spread out fairly...
