wow... best explanation as to why I like and have stuck with 3e

Honestly.... if the kid has played a few times... hand the kid the DM's guide (optional), monster manual and a sheet of graph paper for the dungeon. Best way to learn is to do it. Giving the kid some how to guide to read through will probably just dampen the enthusiasm and make it seem like...

The interlocking feature is nice. I have been using 8x10 plexiglass for awhile, and the only drawback is they don't interlock (but about 1/2 the price of this). A couple of nice features not mentioned... 1) At least on the plex-glass, there is not ghosting when leaving the dry erase on for an...

Keep in mind that in 3.5, PCs and NPCs used the exact same rules. So, it naturally followed that any organization would have it's own prestige class like Red Wizard of Thay or Harper. Many were thus not very suitable for PCs but more for NPCs that had a specific niche to fill. Same way with...

<sarcasm> biggest problem with Drow is that they should never have let anyone but Erol Otus draw them </sarcasm>

Action Points - everyone gets a certain number per day/encounter/level/whatever. These can only be used for something 'cool' Can also grant Action Points when you need/want something to happen narratively and don't want the PCs to ruin it... bad guys gets away or PCs are captured are two that...

ah... different definition of a turn than older editions

Q: What does "3 reactions per round but only 1 per turn" mean?

Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth

1d20 per 10 ft up to a max of 60 ft then divide by 1d6. This gives a reason for the 15th level fighter to be concerned about a 60ft fall, but at the same time also allows for possibility of very little damage.

Her staff is obviously attached to an immovable rod with some sovereign glue and those are goggles of minute seeing

And for me it's the weirdness, grab bag of outfits, and hats of Erol Otus
