FYI. Didn't see anything about it here. http://www.gleemax.com/Comms/Pages/Communities/BlogPost.aspx?blogpostid=96074&pagemode=2&blogid=2158

Just curious. I see a lot of people saying they like it or dislike it, but it's hard to understand what this means unless they have played it. FWIW, I'm in the "indifferent have not played yet." There is no "other" option because I want to commit to a choice. ;)

This feat is intended to make it easier for a fighter to effectively "cover" wizards/archers who use the step-back-and-cast/shoot technique. It also allows a character to protect a larger area against passage. What do you think? OPPORTUNIST [GENERAL] Prerequisite: Combat Reflexes Benefit: If...

GOOD and EVIL are easy. They are clearly defined, having a single objective definition in the PHB, they are intuitively understood, they have corresponding energy plantes (positive/negative), and they function as real cosmic forces... you can have good- or evil-aspected items and places with...

Continual flame annoys me; if it looks like fire it ought to act like fire, and it seems kooky to stick a burning torch in your pocket or use it underwater. It is "cooler looking" to carry a torch than a glowing coin (the old 2E version), but the behavior is absurd. Two options are: (a) Drop...

I'm considering getting a starter pack. We've used this stuff before and it worked well, but it's expensive, and you need a lot of different sets to be able to do anything other than standard rectangular rooms. Are there any good alternatives? Mike

A number of months ago, someone posted here that they had seen some plastic toy "dinosaurs" in a local dime store. Has anyone seen such a thing locally? I'd like to find an online source, or someone to buy a bag for me. Mike

Just wondering how you handle arrow expenditure in your games...

Is this really true?? If I spend even 5% of my time looking stuff up, I start to feel like I'm stuck in the mud. How about you? How much time do you spend looking up rules, how much time looking up stuff in your notes, and how much just talking "out of your head"? Enquiring minds want to...

What would the 3E world look like if you took the rules at face value and extrapolated their effects on society. Any rules are fair game, not just magic. I was thinking about the Detect Evil/Good/Law/Chaos spells, for example, and it occurred to me that any government would LOVE to have a...

I just noticed the "Damage Cap for Spell" table in the DMG (p.95), and in reading through it, realized that there are no exceptions listed: "For spells that deal damage, use [table 3-23] to determine approximately how much damage a spell should deal." (maybe some of you have been down this path...

I know this is a 3E board, but what the heck...

Specifically, if a wizard sees an enemy through scrying or other indirect means, could he hit him with a magic missile even if it must navigate around corners?

I have a PC who insists on smoking "dreadweed" every chance he gets (and generally acting like a stoner). It has been established in the campaign that this is a pot-like herb which can be smoked or mixed into food. It has somewhat mild effects like pot, although it can also cause hallucinations...

What feats are essential for a high level fighter -- that is, without them he would be handicapped and underpowered? I am thinking Power Attack... What do you think? Mike

Okay, I have a question. It's a chore to make NPCs (including monsters with class levels) in 3E, due to all the prerequisites, class skills, and so forth. I really long for the old days where you just pick a class and roll hit points. Anyway, it would be much easier if I just picked the...
