terry pratchett, although Robin Williams would certainly be fun as well - didn't know he is a gamer... how do u know?

hmmm... here are a few ideas for this from myself... if I understand the concept of "being a ghost" correctly, I think that they are undeads on the ethereal plane and have the power to manifest themselves on the material plane as incorporeal undeads... ...since everything they do on the...

well, for one thing I am not overly fond of the alignment-system used in D&D. We - as a group - agreed, that we will try to use it anyway... do have our problems with it in regular intervalls... now - as I do understand it, I do agree with the previous opinions, that you can't just kill anybody...

I like mainly soundtracks... I use LotR, the last Mohican, Twin Peaks, Conan etc.

the idea that you loose the size-bonus to grabble vs EscapeArtist is something I really do like. The problem with the giant should be clumsy but do much damage is, that in D&D the chance to hit (which should have to do with your weapon skill and your dexterity) depends only on your strength...

well, there aren't many creatures out there that have the prereq for assassine straight away... ...but there are many out there that would work well having the class (and may just need 1 or 2 classes of rogue before). Vampire Assassines are very, very fearsome opponents (could use the above...

the problem you show is, you play a character that is specialized on critical hits (sneak attack) and ask how to make him better versus exactle the opposite? Mmmhh... my first answer would be - become a Barbarian or Fighter. But since this answer won't help you much - here are a few ideas...

that's interesting... I always thought always always meant always and not most of the time... ...allthough, I would suggest to have it still be DMs-Call (I, for myself, wouldn't allow an alignment-change in a demon... mmmh... allthough, there are fallen angels - why not "risen demons"?) but...

yes, I have been looking for good high-epic level adventures as well - but was quite disappointed. The adventure in the epic book itself is really bad (IMO). there is one adventure out there, called "Hellstone Deep" which takes the characters down to Hell - suitable for 18th-20th level...

yes, I also agree - the +20 to grab a handhold would be ok. If he had pushed any further - there wouldn't be much of a chance if the cliff really dropped stright down... ...I like that idea about no damage on the feather-fall... but the feather-fall ends as soon as he hits the ground, doesn't...

but doesn't everyone agree that there are living things and dead things out there? I mean a plant f.e. is a living thing - it is very unlikely that it is sentient, but it is alive... isn't it? And then there are non-living things like stones, glass, iron etc... I thought everyone would agree...

well, I wouldn't go as far as saying castles and knights do not make sense at all... but they are by far less important compared to mediavel europe for example. A castle does make sense if you want to protect yourselves and your charges from an onrushing orc band, bandits, goblin army... it does...

well, yes, but I think there is something that lives vs being alive... ...I think we all agree, that an egg is something that lives (at least what's in the egg) from the point where it is created. If it is alive (sentiend) being... well... when I think about it... animals are all neutral -...

well there is, for once, the fact, that it can have a lingering evil aura, if it has long been near to an incredibly evil creature or it was long in an incredibly evil place... (but then - the whole place would be evil and you couldn't pinpoint the eggs inside). next is the big question - if...

I understand the problem you r having with flight... but considering the other spells available (f.e. invisibility, dimension door, ...) it isn't too bad. Yes, it often is kind of strange to have a fighter fly around... if you play on a world like f.e. Middle Earth... no one could fly there...

yes - had the same situation and did the same thing... ...since the character does get less xp than the rest and needs more to advance, this will all level out over time... allthough it can be a bit hard on the player, seeing the other guys level up all the time when he can't, but he is a...

here you find a random weather generator for Faerun & "Wheel of time"... but could be used for any other world, I believe... http://www.kolumbus.fi/antti.lusila/rpg/gmtool.html

Red Hand of Doom is a nice adventure - I'm DMing it with my group now. It is set to be run by a group of 4 chars of 5th lvl - I'm running it with 3chars of 6th level which is ok as well... but I think that the first group of yours is too low-level and the other one too mighty. You might try to...

we do have a player in our sunday-group that cheats regularily as well... things like using potions he allready used, having still spell-slots allthough he kept casting until the beginning of combat, having HP that no one could every achieve at his level, having attack-values or AC values above...

well, isn't this the old problem of alignment in D&D? basically I would agree with those posted before me, that a single good or evil act of great magnitude does not in itself make the actor evil or good by itself. Let's take something wholly evil... a vampyr f.e. ... and he manages to kill a...
