    Moon men

    Depending on the "effective power level" of your modified/templated moon men... Possibly the PC's could encounter the un-submerged (there should be a way to... pro-merged?) castle during a birthing while one (or more, up to a small group) of the moon men were working to subvert the process. It...

    Moon men

    But instead of ooey gooey... how about the "pillars of silvery light that cause Wisdom damage if you look at them too hard. Voices like old-time radio heard at the bottom of the sea." (per WayneL) The men themselves CANNOT manifest here on earth, and come down in their "robotech mechs" but...

    Moon men

    How about a VERY small population of "living" moonmen who make clockwork-mechanized moonmen to be the servant class. However, the only way to animate the clockwork ones, is on the peak of the earthbound tower in the reflected light of their home orb (the moon). That would give you two...

    Which modules you really wanted to run, but didn't get to finish ?

    Curse of the Azure Bonds... which I could have SWORN was in an EN conversion library at some point in the distant haze-filled past. I want to run my 3e kids thru a conversion of it as a last great send off, since the chars happen to be of the right level and I have given them JUST ENOUGH...

    Point me towards books...

    As a casual writer, ideas pass around me like neutrinos... there are millions of them raining down around me at all times, yet only one in a 100 billion ever hit me! So I have been working on a new idea, just some character sketches and loose-end-gathering... and I feel like I need to "read...

    What's the cool way not to drink at a bar?

    Wow, guys... The EASIEST way to pull this trick off is a very simple one. Get to the bar a few minutes after your group, or at the very least, make a pit stop while everyone else heads to order. Once they're done and seated, stop by the bar and order a coke WITH A LIME. Tip the bartender (let...

    D&D 4E Not going to 4e

    "This I think is the entire problem. 4e seems to be D&D made by people who don't like D&D. And made for people who don't like D&D." "That observation is worthy of being added as a signature." If I worked at WotC as a game designer, and someone pointed out that post to me, and all the posts in...

    D&D 4E Not going to 4e

    I'm not going to 4e either... ... cause it hasn't come out yet. Maybe after it does though... I guess I'll look into it.

    OK, we're gettng a little annoyed here!

    Have you ever watched CSPAN? :D But seriously, EN has entered the agree to disagree phase of 4e speculation. Posts that denounce the whole edition because of one leaked "still-being-worked-on" rule tidbit, or one name that might sound foolish seem to serve no purpose other than to add that...

    OK, we're gettng a little annoyed here!

    Isn't that what sites like plastic and digg do with their user +'s and -'s of thread comments? Set your filter where you may, and the EN community as a whole will slide trolls/flames/insults right off your page. But, I like the fact that at sites like plastic you have to "earn" your moderation...

    Failed 1st level classes?

    To the responders... Thanks, I see your points. In the brainstorming-EN-houserules-forum sort of way, I just thought maybe there would be a call for some sort of mechanic that could represent those "odd" 1st level character choices, instead of a roundabout roleplaying fiction. Just a thought...

    Failed 1st level classes?

    I agree, Slap I just wondered if there was some way to "work with" or "massage" that 1st level class to show that it was a "failed class" but still keep the flavor of the class? And this question is for any class... much like the classes that have the "ex-such and such" section at the ends of...

    A Mis-read post title led to this... PrC

    When I read the title to "http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=212607" (Packmaster PrC) I, for some reason, thought "Packrat" instead. So I basically think I just spent an inordinate amount of time creating a flavorful PrC that absolutely NO ONE in their right minds would want to play...

    Failed 1st level classes?

    In creating a character of a higher level (i.e. not starting out at 1st) would there be any variants for showing a dead-ended career path? In my particular instance, I am creating a dual-caster/MyTh type character, and as part of the backstory I have him being a 1st level monk, albeit one who...

    One Progression to Rule Them All....

    It would seem to me that a single "progression" of BAB would make sense, in the sense that at each level each class could purchase a BAB "bonus"... Casters could purchase a Casting BAB, Melee'ers could purchase a Melee BAB... but as a character option you wouldn't HAVE to. Casters could...
