I ran a session this past weekend where my players actively sought out to slay a Dragon, and some tactics questions came to my mind about there tactics- if only in a particular situation (one that I had a little trouble dealing with) The irony of this is that the very tactic a player used this...

good die; bad die Concerning dice, I am privy to another story that is so unlikely it could very well have been a sort of urban legend- Confirmed true since I was actually part of the event. This event happened during the first D&D campaign my gaming group played using the 3rd edition rules...

Well, it has been a while since I have been able to post (though I havent had too many posts yet) God bless internet access from work. Anyway, it is good to "be back". To add to our Urban Legends here: I did have the "advantage" of growing up in an extremely religious home. (I say that of...

Page 292 Page 292, starting at the bottom of the middle column it describes exactly what you are asking about. "Violent thrust"- second sentence "You can hurl one object or creature per caster level (maximum 15)..." So, at 9th level, you could hurl up to 9 arrows, doing 9dX (x= damage of...

Someone who merely skims over philosophy writings wouldn't really be that interested in philosophy, would they? Perhaps I should clarify. When I say that he threw himself at everything good, there are a few things that we need to keep in mind. He did specifically write in opposition to a moral...

I am 6'1" and weigh 200 lbs. Lean, muscular and tanned. Short blonde hair (a bit longer than military cut), blue/green eyes. My gaming friends good naturedly call me a "beast", or my DMs favorite "muscle beach." ::shrugs:: I really don't think of myself as "big" like they do (especially...

Really, should we attempt to understand a PHILISOPHICAL statement in a METAPHORICAL sense? ... Man I have been doing it wrong all these years. ;) Seriously though, I must comment on the reasoning Hong gave, and on the given philosopher. While Nietzsche did much for philosophy, I really...

How about the new one from Unearthed Arcana: Bring Down the Moon- 8th level spell that grants the benefits of resting for one night to all allies, and the kicker is casters regain ALL previously used spell slots for that day! Oh yeah, and it grants the effects of a prayer spell (+1 to allies...

I have not played all 3 editions of D&D. I started playing during 2nd edition, after the revised rules were in stores. Honestly, I did not play the game because I liked the system. Rather it was that all of my friends played D&D, and I liked the concept of the "role-playing game", so I began...

I bought the revised editions of the Core books, and I am happy with them, and with most of the changes that were made. I also, as some others, own Many (over 30) of the D20 (3.0) books- from Forgotten Realms (all of them), to the AEG supplements. Yes, some things are changed, but I would think...

Warder Dragon I do feel as though this "inner dragon" fits me quite well. (which makes me unique thus far! :) well... considering LuYangShih changed his answers and didn't feel this actually fit him) Warder Dragon In the war between good and evil, Warder Dragons take the side of the noble and...

I would say that the normal fatigue rules would work well, being Con modifier in rounds, then start making Con checks... But I guess I can see why it wasn't necessarily implemented. Each character would have a different round to start checking, then the DM would have to keep track of what round...

I also very much agree that Toughness is a very underpowered feat. The only time I can see it as useful is when it would be taken by a first level NPC, or possibly sorcerer or wizard. It does, without argument as we have seen, become quite undesirable, and quite worthless at any level higher...

I agree that those would be excellent times to implement fatigue and exhaustion checks Vymair. I have not had the chance to require those rolls but for a few times. I also think it best that any activity that is physically demanding should require a roll against these (which I believe is...

"Always"-you are making an absolute statement here, and thus, if an example can be thought of where there is no chance for failure, you statement is falsified. (I am not bothering to type a complete situation out as I am quite sure we can all think of some.) Secondly, just because there may be...

Well, most of my players feel as though their character is not heroic or "good" enough to even be an adventurer without good stats. I have to admit, most did start out in 2e, and I can definitely see why it created that sort of mindset. And I do agree that heroism is defined by actions, not by...

Since we agree on most things, Hypersmurf, I am sure this reply will end up looking like a bunch of somantics, so I'll make it short... and sweet. :) I was hoping Corinth would reply to tell us this for sure. I was thinking he was allowing for very slim possibility. I had the impression...

Jens: "Well, some things would be included in a simple and easy fashion by using some sort of opposed roll: - Range penalties (an arrow from far away should be easier to deflect, right?) - Magical +'s should make the arrow harder to deflect (imo)" Yes, I dont really disagree with opposed rolls...

AARRRG!! Hypersmurf, I love you man, but your are doing IT again. Please, before you reply, read the entire post. You are fogiven since you seem to be in a hurry to leave :), but when you get back to reply, remember this. You have valid arguments for the statements you are choosing to focus...

The way you presented that idea was very good Kai Lord, and (upon rethinking) I have to agree that it would seem more sensible that deflection could be done with an AC bonus (expertise-like, or straight thus it could be done with a shield or weapon in hand), while snatching the arrows would...
