Minions are one of my favorite innovations 4e brought to D&D (though they've existed in many other games).. To me, they are a nod to pre-3e D&D, where higher level parties would occasionally encounter monsters of lower level than themselves, and the PCs were able to take on multiple foes with...

Hmm. Interesting

The party found an artifact, but they don't trust it---so rather than use it, one of the PCs just stuffed it in the bottom of his backpack until they can pass it on to its rightful owner. Nobody has used the item. My question is, since nobody is 'using' the artifact, should its Concordance...

Still working on this, but this is the campaign map I whipped up for our Scales of War campaign. There are a couple of (minor) spoilers, and I included a spot for Ashenport (from "Last Breaths of Ashenport", a side-trek we ran). Thanks and I hope you find this useful.

I got roped into running a one-shot game this coming Thursday. I'm presently planning on just ripping off part of "Fane of the Drow" for a few battles royale, but I would love to hear any suggestions y'all may have. Game system: D&D 3.5 Players: 5 (one of whom is a relative newbie to 3.5) Game...

Long, rambling post ahead. Two years ago, my gaming group of 15+ years (the Guys) broke up because of a combination of MMORPGs and real-life issues. With one exception (me), the Guys remained in contact with each other: playing City of Heroes and World of Warcraft, weekly flag-football...

Inspired by This thread, but I want to know who's batting for the angels (in film and television). My picks 1. Coolest Hero: Leon (Leon/The Professional). Just damn. He could sneak into the Death Star and kick Vader in the cyber-nads, and still have time to infiltrate the Mountain of Power and...

Well, St. Petersburg has pretty much shut down, and everyone is in full cockroach scurry. That said, how are my fellow Floridians planning on greeting Charlie? Myself, I'm going to be gloriously drunk for the next few days.

The Weapon Group variant in Unearthed Arcana got me thinking: How game breaking would it be to remove the specificity of feats such as Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, etc. Weapon Focus would thus grant you +1 on all attack rolls (regardless of weapon used)...

Essentially, it's a bow with blades at each end, allowing it to be used as both a ranged and (double) melee weapon. Um...yeah. I know, I know. The thing is, I'm dying trying to remember where I encountered the weapon before. I've gone through every WotC book and magazine I own (which isn't...

I'm starting a new 3.5 campaign with a new group. A couple of the players (and myself) have been playing since 3e was released, and are very familiar with all the splats and add-ons that have been released in the past 3 years (except 3.5). However, two of the other players haven't seen D&D...

Races of Faerun introduces Spiked and Horned Helmets: "Deals double damage during a charge, but has a reach of 0 ft." What does a zero reach mean? Am I missing something completely obvious?

One of my wife's friends is (originally) British and she contrends that Elijah Wood and Sean Astin are doing a *terrible* job with their British accents. AFAIK, they sound fine but my frame of reference is limited to the occasional reruns of Fawlty Towers and Chef! Is she nuts or does she...

On this, the most high and holy of days. Verily I say unto thee that the Rams shalt smite the Patriots, yet the spread shall not be covered. And there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. So shall it be written. So shall it be done.
