The above suggestions are excellent and a lot of fun to play. However there is one other easy to play build that can be done. Human Rogue-1/Wizard-19 with Able learner feat. Able learner makes all skills cost 1pt per rank. If any skill has ever been a class skill then max ranks is Character...

When I am playing a front line PC, I will frequently provoke AoO's from monsters to "use up" the monsters AoO for the round so that other PC's can get into position or withdraw from combat. However I have been burned on a couple of occasions by this tactic by encountering a monster who either...

I buy almost everything that WOTC puts out and have been doing so for a very long time. My collection of 1st and 2nd edition stuff is not quite complete and my 3/3.5 edition is only missing a couple of items (mostly a couple of Harbinger minis). I am lucky enough to have a job and a wife that...

My wife uses our book of baby names to come up with new names. Myself I either pick a basic nationality that I intend to use for roleplaying inspiration and then pick an appropriate name or just use a combination of first/last name from some of my coworkers. Considering that I work in a place...

I answered 2008, but honestly it will depend on how much of an improvement over 3.5 it really is. I will not buy it unless there is a noticable upgrade from the current system. However to clarify, I am playing 3.5 due to my having felt that there was a noticable and definable upgrade from 1st...

Chaotiticion (sp?) in the planer handbook. Take for a couple of levels at most. Gives Martial weapon prof and all armor prof and some very cool abilities all in a prestige class so no worrying about multiclassing xp penalties.

My wife and I have five computers in our house, three macs and two PC's, of which only two of them (one of each) are new machines. We both are believers in using the right tool for the job and will switch back and forth between the machines regularly. We use the macs for work, both professional...

After many years of running a campaign that didn't allow for PC deaths in it, all the members of the group made the comment that they preferred to see combat be more dangerous. So when I started up a new campaign two years ago I have started running all the rolls and combat out in the open. With...

I would suggest that if you find yourself without accomodations. You simply take the skytrain out to New Westminister (a suburb of Vancouver) and just start walking around the area looking for rental accomidations. New West has an increadable concentration of cheap (relatively) apartments all...

Whirling Blade is my personal favorite 2nd level Bard Spell. Throw your slashing weapon in a 12" line attacking only enemy creatures and bypassing Friendlies making one melee attack with your weapon on each of the enemies. You may substitute your caster stat for Strength for calculating hit and...

I like the idea of giving it to straight class wizards for free as written. Perhaps at 6th,12th and 18th levels? The idea being to give another admittedly small benefit for not multi/prestige classing. I like the idea of the spontaneous spellcasting and the power would be better balanced by...

Friends of ours just had a second story added to their house in Fort Langley BC. They are serious book nerds so made extra room for their second floor library, they got a turret (three story tower added to the corner of the house) and they added secret half height doors between the backs of the...

If it is Paizo it is only for those customers who have subscriptions. I have been a customer of Paizo's online store for quite some time and have made at least a dozen seperate purchases from them at their store (mini's :( which cost too much). I have not recieved anything and I am also a...

Having seen a lot of Barbarians die over the years in campaigns, I would say no they are not to powerful. The always low AC that gets worse when they rage means that enemys with Powerattack or Sneak attack can rip them apart in no time. In city of the spider queen there are creatures that have...

This actually happened to me when running my campaign back in second edition with return to the tomb of horrors. Acerack died on round 2 by some truly phenomenal rolls and excellent intuitive tactics on the part of the three players. I let him die, I didn't fudge it or alter it in any way. My...

Actually our group has used all of the above rules at one time or another, including recently we had to look up the starvation rules when we were exploring some haunted forest that among other things was causing all our food and water to go rotten, and we didn't have a cleric. General upkeep...

All the time, my present campaign in the forgotten realms isn't really in the forgotten realms. Its in my own campaign world in a magically constructed artificial reality that exists only in the minds of the participants as part of a large Illithid magical trap. i.e. the matrix.

I voted I enjoy the game more then ever before. I have been playing since 1979, first edition. I never liked 1st or 2nd edition and left for other game systems to try and find what I was looking for in a RPG experience. Rolemaster, The fantasy trip, Gurps, Harnmaster and a large assortment of...

While many of the previously mentioned words were also new to me my favourites would have to be the GURPS phobias list; Thallisphobia Triskadekaphobia Manaphobia Technophobia Just to name a few of the stranger ones.
