    Warmage...too weak? (Survivability)

    I have an 11th level elf Warmage in an IK game who has the Arcane Disciple feat. Yup, Travel domain is great. With the high Charisma you can take the Leadership feat and get a spellcasting sidekick like a lower level mage or cleric to do buff and utility for you. Then they step back and watch...

    An elegant solution to unfun combat healing

    Since the announcement of 4th Ed., and Star Wars Saga is a good example of possible 4th ed. mechanics, perhaps a "second wind" for hp is what your looking for. I believe every PC can catch a second wind to restore 1/4 total hp or Con score (whichever is higher) in hp once per encounter or day ...

    Need replay ASAP: Background music for Mechanus

    I've found that music from the Games Silent Hill, SH 2, etc to have some great atmosphere music. It's tense sometimes, like metal against metal and definately different. I think they are great for that other world feel. Not sure if the movie soundtrack is similar as I don't recall what the...

    DM's: How do you deal with powergamers?

    Even easier, use the spells come from the players handbook only. Plenty of spells in there with no need for all the complete books or spell compendium. Another idea is to put him in a situation where everyone is on a level playing field. For example we had an encounter in a crypt which was...

    Have you given your kids fantasy names?

    I have always told my g/f if we have a daughter I want to name her Asuka Oni. Asuka after the character from Neon Genesis Evangelion, the popular Anime series. And Oni from the japanese for Devil, because I used to refer to my g/f as you little devil or similar terms. She wasn't to pleased...

    Irreconcilable differences?

    I heard this one about K-Fed a little while ago... apparently now that he and Spears are divorcing, he will be known as Fed-X! lol

    If You Give a Mouse a Cookie... Players and Power Creep

    I personally think if it comes from WoTC then it should at least be allowed until it proves to be a problem or hindrance. What if the option C individual had a great time playing his specialized sorcerer from CA and it never became an issue in the game. Especially if it's something that hasn't...

    Does anyone know anything about the new Complete Mage book?

    Just curious if there is any real info as to what is going to be in the new Complete Mage book. Will it be a partial rehash of Complete Arcane? Are they going to have a bunch of spells which are already printed in the Spell compendium? Any opinions on if it will be worthwhile to purchase...

    What are your thought on the Mystic Theurge?

    I'm just looking for some opinions on the Mystic Theurge (DMG) PRC. I was planning on playing one in an upcoming campaign and it has been disallowed by the DM. Having never played one and never seen anyone else play one, I don't know if it is actually unbalancing as the DM thinks. Thoughts...

    Rules for Half drow characters

    Just wondering if anyone has seen rules for a half drow race for charaters. It kinda popped into my head this morning that I've never seen anything for this situation. Sure there are half orcs and half elves, but drow have a much different set of abilities from regular elves. Any ideas?

    Does anybody use Master Maze for their gaming?

    I was considering using the Master Maze line of products from Dwarven Forge in my gaming. They look a little expensive from what I saw. But before I decide to spend what will probably cost me a lot of money to set up decent dungeons and caverns, I thought I'd ask what others experiences have...

    What are the opinions on Ptolus?

    Ok so I'm sold on it. I've preordered Ptolus and am looking forward to all the material which will take me forever to go through and incorporate into my next campaign. I did download the first pdf but what is this second one that Whizbang is talking about? "I preordered and have been...

    What are the opinions on Ptolus?

    I'd like to know what the opinions out there are on Ptolus and if you think it is worth the hefty pricetag for the book/pdf's? If your already using Ptolus info in your games please describe how the games are going?
