I started out in FR with a necromancer from Thay, I chose the shadow weave feat (really cool in its own right) and took evocation as my barred school (more of a personality choice than anything else, but man do I miss tossing fireballs). He's 6th level now and chose the Shadow Adept prestige...

The whole "movement in a 5 foot square" abstraction is really hampered by the concept of area-effect spells. If you have someone standing at the end of a 5' corridor, that is the standard 8' ceiling, how are they supposed to somehow make a reflex save against a fireball with a 20' diameter...

-38. I have a network support pager grafted to my hip. -39. Reason -38 goes off if I stray too far away from my job. Like the bathroom for example. -40. One of my buddies is going (Fee!) but he's leaving early so he won't miss my session Sunday. Talk about devotion!

IMC we use a low-magic system. Consequently, according to the base rules characters would have pitiful AC scores without magical armor at probably 6-7th level. At higher levels, it was pretty pointless to wear armor becasue the monsters have such high BAB that they'd hit every time anyway. Keep...

So I guess this means Half-Orcs are balanced with the other races now. New revision stating right after the "Orcish Blood" trait: Celebrity Status - Half-Orcs are played by movie personalities such as Vin Diesel: +2 competence bonus to perform and sounding like you gargled razor blades in the...

Playing evil characters isn't so hard if the players can just remember three simple facts: 1. The party sticks together for mutual survival and allies. Don't kill each other. You'll need all the friends you can get. 2. Just because you're evil doesn't mean you can't function in society. You...

I'm also in my late twenties, but unfortunately I have 1-2 work pagers hermetically sealed to my hip at all times. I'd certainly like to make it down to meet a few fresh faces.

Not to attempt to hijack this beautiful thread... I think the campaigns (rare as they are) where players using evil characters are left out. Sure, evil characters get to fight planetars, lammasu, devas, and solars for the truly suicidal. What about the equivalent of Arch-devils/ Demon lords for...

The alternate magic system I use is very similar to yours but I rip off the Star Wars D20 force rules (gotta make up for that sticker price somewhere). I also am running a "low magic" game world. In order to cast the spell, the caster rolls a spellcraft check against a DC of 13 plus twice the...

I've DM'd with Orcus, Asmodeus and the crew in my game, and I would say they should be much tougher than any type of creature, including dragons (gasp.). Demon lords should be on par with solars at the very least since they are unique creatures, and demon princes/archdevils should be more...

I would also be interested in hooking up at Phoenix games on a Saturday. I'm not big on Rifts style D&D characters, but I'm pretty open... hell, I'd just be happy not having to DM for once!

Nice first post, Mako! It looks like I missed all the "fun" on this discussion, but in a way I'm kind of glad. This looks like a personal vendetta wrapped in a patronizing economics lesson. I would have to say that in a strict product & profitability standpoint the "bean counting" does not...

Funny you should mention Shadowrun, I'm trying to get a game of SR going today at my place. I would like to get into a group that plays on Fridays or Saturdays if this SR thing doesn't pan out. I'm up for some more 3rd. ed insanity, but I have no real knowledge of FR. It's changed quite a bit...

I haven't been to Phoenix or the Source for a good year and a half; one of my friends is working at a Shinder's location, and he gets a pretty faboo discount on books. It's cool to see there are a few gamers around here that I haven't met. I will agree that it can be tricky finding people here...

I'm wondering what kinds of baddies you're throwing at your party. Every DM has this scenario where the magic-user (be it sorcerer or wizard) buffs people ahead of time with the various day-long attribute increasing spells. So did I, much in the same scenario that you're describing. It worked...

cultural differences aside... I've never been thrilled with the notion that the charisma score should be lumped together with good looks. Anyone here ever meet an absolute babe that was a jerk? Of course you have. How about an average person that has "animal magnetism"? I've got friends that...
