Lately my group has been fighting lots of Ogres, Giants, etc with decent magic weapons and stuff. Problem is, I play a halfling and everyone else in the group is Medium sized (or smaller). The DMG says clothing, armor and jewlery re-size, but what about weapons? Shrink Item only applies to...

Recently in my group a young blue dragon (CR5) and an 8th level Barbarian defeated the party of four 5th level characters. I'm curious, what is the CR of four 5th level characters? How much XP would the young blue dragon and Barbarian8 get for defeating them? Thanks in advance for any help.....

I'm looking for a place to order some older RPGs, but they should still be in circulation. My minis place doesn't have RPGs, and Talon Comics sight only has newer d20 stuff. Specifically, i'm looking for the 7th Sea nation books and the rulebook for Clan War, a samurai minis game. Any ideas...

After 6 months I finally got my digital camera working again. Surprise! I found a few pics from the Chicago ENworld gameday, the first one. Morrus and Mark told me to put them up here, so here goes.

I've enjoyed about 2/3 of the Terry Pratchett books i've read and would like to get some more. Unfortunatlly my budget does not allow for more than 2 paperbacks a month, so I just want the best. I have Guards! Guards! (excellent IMO), Jingo, Fifth Elephant (eh.), The Truth, Moving Pictures...

One of my players is wielding a leveled weapon, from Dragon mag 289. His character history states that the sword has been in his family for centuries, and was originally a Dragonslayer type sword. Looking over the Bane enchancement for weapons, it doesn't seem worth the +2. For that cost you...

This sunday I'm missing about half my group and so I plan on running a one shot pick up game. Using this as an excuse to buy a new RPG, i've wanted to get either Feng Shui or Hong Kong Action Theatre for some time. I'm wondering which one is better though. I like variety of classes and...

My players have been complaining about the Tumble rules lately, so i looked at other variants. The Sword and Fist option, opposed Tumble checks didn't seem all that great. The Song and Silence option, opponent makes a reflex save vs Tumble check with a +10 if moving through, seemed better...

Quick question, how do you tell if you've been poisoned? Are there any indicators? Does the slash of a poisoned blade burn? The tea taste funny? Etc? I'm playing a Ninja and just picked up Poison Use. I intent to max Craft:Poison and get the most out of it, so knowing how people react is...

I'm thinking about ordering $100-$200 in stuff from back Alley Comics, heres their link: http://www.backalleycomics.com/ and i was wondering if anyone else had ordered from them in the past. Just curious if the sale went ok, was it slow, fast service, etc. Thanks.

Over on the WotC boards someone mentioned that it was a good place to try to contact WotC designers. I of course plugged our very own EnBoards as the premiere place to contact designers, since it seems they ALL post here. WizO_Autumn quickly put me in my place, telling me: "WotC staff do post...

The question of whether Mithril and Masterwork bonus' both apply to armor came up several times here and generated many opinions, but no conclusive answers. In Dragon 293 i noticed the Sage answered this question, though indirectlly. Heres the text: "The dastana and charhar-aina each have an...

Something came up during my last game that i need an official ruling on, or at least a majority. The situation was a character was on the ground, prone, surrounded by three guards. The guards were kicking him because he started a fight with them. He is a tiefling and tried to use Darkness, a...

How much damage does a Huge Bastard sword do?

Just a quick rules question. According to DMG page 243 mithril armor is crafted taking as long as it takes to make masterwork armor. It makes armor one catergory lighter, gives a max Dex bonus +2 and the Armor check penalty is decreased by 3. My question is what happens if you make Masterwork...

Last night I was watching the news when I saw 'Iron' Mike Tyson had gotten into another brawl with someone. This reminded me of a character type I had wanted to play for years before 3e, a fist fighter who just knocked people out like crazy. Think Tyson. Think Brad Pitt in 'Snatch'. Think Ali...
