I'm into death metal for the most part. I also like a lot industrial music bands. Here's a partial list of the metal bands I listen to on a regular basis : Asphyx, Atheist, Bloodbath, Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Cryptopsy, Cynic, Death/Control Denied, Dying Fetus, Gorgasm, Grave, Iron...

Both the corpse and skeletal templates from the vile darkness book have a 1 lvl adjustment.

I second the use of the corpse template. I had loads of fun playing an old priest who failed at his lich transformation attempt and ended up a simple zombie. I didn't have enough levels to make a viable lich anyway and had a lot of laughs with my negative reflex save while dungeon-crawling...

I agree, fire will burn you even if it's a flaming towel. The armor bonus limits for a whip are also pretty stupid since armor is not supposed to duplicate dr. The other light weapons are not similarily penalized so maybe it's some balance tweak for the extra reach. Common sense is always a...

I have a pretty big sharran goblin tribe in my game that rides on shadow mastiffs. With a few invisibility potions a group can hide along with their mounts. The scouts use dire bats to locate enemy forces. The fear inducing howl is pretty nasty when a pack herds the prey into traps or...

Looks more like a rat crossbreed to me (or an old gremlin ;))

I also agree that there is not necessarily an army of monsters after the party every day. In my experience even the fighting classes would prefer resting after an challenging encounter or two and they do their part of the killing without any problems. In the higher levels a full attack can often...

We played a long time with this game and had a lot of fun despite the power creep. The setting is pretty cool and there is a lot of variety for characters. We just made sure that all the characters were on the same power level. The rules were a bit odd at places but that won't stop a good...

Since the rules allow you to pick a monstrous cohort with the "normal" leadership feat I wouldn't have any problems with low lvl monsters for the lower lvl followers if the leader's background justifies it. One of my lycanthrope players has several infected humanoid followers (Malarite cult so...

I'm a very picky eater Same here I'm a big pasta/pizza fan but the texture of raw tomatoes just doesn't work for me. I don't mind small cooked tomato bits but I'm likely to skip the bigger chunks. It's even worse for onions.... I can't even tolerate them in any form except onion powder.

Yeah but it wouldn't be elvish without some free bonus like adding a modifier to social skills checks with air elementals.

Amateur bass player reporting Another vote for Cliff Burton and Steve Harris. I also like Claypool's wackyness even if I can't play any of his lines ;) Being a death metal head I really go apeshit for Steve DiGiorgio and a lot of the bass players in the death scene. This subgenre of metal has...

That would explain why the drow are so busy killing each other. The air can get a bit stale down there :eek:

I was leaning towards sense motive as well since it covers odd behavior. As for the DC perhaps the "hunch" example of 20 would do the trick. If the target went out of his way to please the caster add a circumstance bonus (5-10?). The caster could use bluff to help maintain the deception.

I'm planning on playing a gloaming fighter so that's not an issue (they glow in the dark;)). One of my players has a candle mounted on his full plate armor and the others tend to use the lower lvl light spells. Don't forget to bring some non-magical light sources in case you bump into...

Winter Wights and the Shadows of the Void for their blightfire. It's a nice change from the usual draining attacks. The bloodfiend is also a nice vampire variant. I also like the new shadow plane creatures.

I'm listening to a big mp3 list of death metal songs (good ingame combat music as well). The current song is Rise by Grave. I also have some strange fascination for funk music and it's crazy bass lines..... Not the best music for gaming though ;)

guess he had a dimensional lockpick ;) editted out my own overreaction but kept the joke sorry

In my cosmology the prime has a few connections to the planes who compose it's "building blocks". I rarely use outsiders except when the location is special like the few static elemental vortices (an unusually active volcano for instance). Elementals tend to prefer their own plane's...

I roll in the open since I don't need to fudge dice rolls (luck is part of the game). Metagaming is not a problem on my table and even there I agree that a character would be able to determine how good his opponent is after a few swings. I can even discuss game plots with my players. Their...
