A little help pricing a magic item, please! This one's a simple one -- magical sword, +2 to hit and damage, and all extraordinary/magical/supernatural/what-have-you DR is ignored, up to and including Epic-level DR. The only DR that wouldn't be ignored is standard "Hardness" DR that objects tend...

I'm trying to get an idea of how highly this would be valued in ole 3.5 (or Pathfinder) D&D-land ... ------------- Sword of Nullity This Masterwork sword is non-magical, and gives no bonuses to hit or damage. However, it completely ignores all protective spells on its target of 5th level or...

I have not played a lot of 4E, but the bit I've played so far suggests a problem -- from my point of view, at least. The problem is that in some battles, after the first 2-3 rounds, it may become very clear to the DM and players that they are almost certainly going to win the battle, even if...

In the limited number of battles I've run so far, opportunity attacks have been *very* rare, perhaps limited to one or two per encounter for each side -- at most -- and it's usually the monsters drawing them, not the characters. The reason I ask this question is that the rarity of OAs makes...

Nuked, moved to General RPG discussion.

Howdy, all. I'm working on the long-long-long-long-long overdue update for the Goblin Defense Fund, and the 4E fun I thought it might be helpful to present some interesting, fun, yet hopefully balanced racial feats for our favorite oppressed humanoids. All of the ones below seem relatively...

Talk about an update being long overdue, eh? www.goblindefensefund.org

I'm not sure where to whore my play-by-blog game, so I thought I'd try here (and "Story Hour"). I've shamelessly stolen Robin Laws's idea of the play-by-blog and instituted my own; the participants collectively play one Charles Cairo, a homeless man/murderer (really, it was for a just cause)...

From the archives and for old time's sake, per Piratecat's request . . . (I hope Eric's Grandmother doesn't mind a certain phrase . . .) ------------------- Those of you who have been taking notes know that the first lecture in the Ass-Sucking series is entitled, roughly, "Where in the hell...

Can anyone tell me if it is any different than the entry in the original Monster Manual? (If possible, and if it's not violating any laws, I'd love to see *just* the goblin entry as a .pdf -- my contact info in profile . . .) (Basically, I'm interested in the progression/devolution of the...

Given the recent elf-related posts, and in the interests of self-aggrandizement history, I present to you the original, poorly edited, extraordinarily immature April Fool's Day post I made around five years ago on what one might call The Elvish Problem. It was lost in the Great Server Crash of...

Someone help me out here. Let's say that there's a standing area effect that I want to dispel -- Darkness, Solid Fog, Stinking Cloud, whatever. Let's say that I can't see the center of the spell (i.e., where it originated from), or perhaps I simply don't know exactly where it originated from...

Because everyone likes alt.rangers, right? The Scout is supposed to fill the role ostensibly similar to that of some fighter/rogues. In other words, someone who isn't bad with a sword, but who is more concerned with spying and scouting than tumbling into a flanking position to do sneak-attack...

My name is Shinobi Killfist. I have climbed the highest mountain and swum the deepest ocean, both in the same day and without a bathroom break. I once defended a village of midgets from rampaging psionic half-dragon illithid ogres using nothing more than a half-empty flask of holy water and a...

God, I hate sorcerers. Not only are they underpowered unless you're running a one-shot or you run them as Evokers (or you Monte Cook them), but they're just plain boring. Same damn spells at each level, for the most part. Well, I've done something in my campaign to change all that. It seems to...

My party has recently stumbled upon to an amateur torturer's library. So I figured it was time to have some fun . . . I came up with five titles, with a sketch of the contents of each. There's nothing special or magical about any of them (though one might argue that a full reading of the...

Apparently, my avatar seems to think so all of a sudden. This has P-kat's feline stink all over it . . . Shees. It's supposed to be *retarded* gnome farmers, for pete's sake!

Instead of asking how much they should cost according to DMG guidelines, which can be wildly off, I'm going to ask how much you, as high-level PCs with lots of cash on hand, would pay for them. Supply and demand and all . . . probably get a much better idea what the correct price should be...
