I would be another one to suggest Eberron. There is only one book. The Eberron book is easy to read. There is also an adventure path of modules coming out for Eberron that can be easy adapted by a new GM for ideas. Eberron actually seems to be designed for newer players in IMHO with the settings...

The majority of characters in our campaigns are human also. However, dwarves are by far the second most common choice. -Psiblade

I just wanted to repeat this again. "I frickin' love 3.5 DR." 3.0 DR was useless. As far as fireball goes, try fireballing a devil or an iron golem. If one spell or tool could do everything, the game would be very boring. -Psiblade

My list is as follows: WOTC Products that I have already bought: Complete Divine -I am unhappy with the editing. Eberron Campaign Setting - The best book for WOTC this year. :) Expanded Psionics Handbook - I am also happy with this book. Player's Guide to Faerun - Nice for a high powered FR...

Our group has used point buy for awhile now. We pick the target level of the campaign (usually 28 or 32 points) and go from there. This has made the game so much better. In the past we had characters that would actually dominate the game because their stats were so much better than everyone...

In my experience even with this feat a multiclassed caster is still a significantly weaker caster than his single classed brethren. My 16th level MT is in awe of how damage and havoc our 17th level wizard can do with shapechange and Otto's Irresistible Dance. His favorite tactic is to change to...

I personally agree that the trog is the best because you still keep your ability scores with alter self and get +6 natural armor. Lizardman is also nice for the +5 natural armor and +8 racial bonus to swim. :) I have also used the hat of disguise trick with alter self. You can gain AC while...

I like both DMing and Playing. In game, the DM makes the rules. However, in my experienced replacing a bad DM is not as hard as you would think. We went to a more rotational basis for our games after replacing a DM. I definitely like the differences that come from both running and playing...

Count me as another one, who believes that the bard can fascinate before any actual combat starts. The casting of buffing spells also does not bother me. However, the moment a single party member moved to flank is when the fascinate should have come down. Up to that point the bard can use his...

Living Greyhawk can be fun or awful based upon the DM that you draw. I have enjoyed playing with my local group, but I have had a couple of bad experiences at Cons. There are definitely pros and cons to LG. The Pros definitely involve the number of different players and DMs that you meet. If...

Regular hydras are a lot easier for their CR then Pyro or Cryo are at an equal CR. The low AC of a Hydra invites power attack. The attack bonus also is not that great, so a high AC will stop most attacks. The fast healing is the real pain. The hydra is a huge (long) creature and as such the...

For me, I play in three campaigns (two home & LG) that use 3.5. I also run a 3.5 game. I do think that the haste, harm, and heal ruined many a cinematic encounter in our previous 3.0 games. Also, the ranger, bard, and monk changes really improved the playability of those classes. The dominance...

Hello Gentlemen, I got a your play style sucks, I would never play with someone with such a sucky play style post from rushlight in DnD rules. I did not know if this was the right place to post about it. If this is not the right forum, please delete this post. -Psiblade

For me, the best way to get people to roleplay is through the spy type of adventures. The party has to actively avoid force or they will have a bad day. :) This still gives the party a chance to come up with excellent tactics and ideas, but puts them more into the characters shoes. Most...

I just wanted to thank Keith on the great work. I am planning on running my next campaign in Eberron. I was wondering what expansions / accessories are currently planned. -Psiblade

Hello Zaruthustran, A good place to pick up the rulings from the circle is http://www.theocracyofthepale.com/gamerules/circle_rulings.html . The Pale site keeps up to date pretty with the circle. (Psi)SeveredHead there are many ways to break characters. This character build places too much...

Rushlight, first I do not know a cleric that would give up a cloak of pro +5 for a cloak of chr +6. The cloak of pro +5 even costs less. I have played with a lot of high level clerics. Your saves are what keep you alive in a high level game. The high level game is filled with a large number of...

For non-WOTC, I do really like Scarred Lands and Ravenloft. We have a very interesting campaign in Scarred Lands right now. Our next campaign will be in Eberron thou. Most of the players have been really impressed with the book. :) The Eberron campaign setting is very well thought out. -Psiblade

Rushlight, the problem with not considering the total opportunity cost for divine metamagic in your arguements is that you fail to consider the value of other chains of feats. Let's take a comparison look at a couple of different chains. To do 4 maximizes requires 16 turning attempts with...
