Would it bother anybody if Guests [Unregistered] were not allowed to post? It would eliminate anonymous flaming, but I know some of our regulars, even those that attach names to their posts, are Guests. What does everybody think?

[br]Dragon is "Official." [br]<SNIP>[br]IIRC there was a gigantic thread on the Min/Max boards about "is Dragon official?," and Lago and I flamed each other repeatedly. [br][br]So you say Dragon is "official" and then a few sentences later say "we were debating wh...

Happy belated Birthday, Frank and Frank's sister.

This is inspired by da chicken's rant in Frank's UA thread.[br][br] [br]DM Is Not A Gold Fish. That is, just because you bring it to the table doesn't mean it works like that. Especially with variant UA rules.[br][br]It's short for "That's obviously stupid and broken since it renders the game u...

1077634713[/unixtime]]Hey, new to this part of the BBRing, though I've been lurking a while now. I was just wondering, why are vampires broken? Because of domination at will? [br][br]Warning: This is a 3.0 answer. I don't know a lot about 3.5![br][br]The Monster Manual specifically says killing a v...

[br]I'm arguing that this use of the spell in those circumstances wouldn't earn XP. AFAICT, based on my reading of the (admittedly 3.0) DMG, it's only an encounter if the DM has decided that it's part of the adventure.[br] [br][br]I see your point, but the DM could just rule against any of the thin...

Um...Lee. If you are going to continue these quote wars, could I possibly persuade you to use the quote tags correctly?

Pretty please.

-Jack

Mod Edit: Edited out inflammatory comments, but he does have a point about the quote tags, so I left that part.

FRUE's Telflammar Shadowlord is ok.

If you have the Shadowwalker template, it's okay. If not, you languish for four (I think?) levels in Shadowdancer to get the Shadow Leap ability.

Cool. Any other ideas?

Another character is an archer type. He already has the mighty bow, the Gloves of Dexterity, the Quiver of Elhonna, and the Bracers of Archery. Anything else?

-Jack

A friend of mine does own a DMG. and I offered to make a list of Core (3.0) magic items that were must haves for a rogue. Aside from the obvious Gloves of Dex, and the Boots and Cloaks of Elven-kind, what are the must-haves?

Do you regularly wear a kilt?

PS - The orange camoflauge kicks ass by the way. <J>

You're in good company here. There are even those among us that are no longer welcome at WotC.

I don't think IUS make interacts with natural attacks anymore, but I could be wrong.

Lago, is this 3.5 or 3.0 or some unsavory combination of both?

-Jack

Cool. I appreciate you guys helping me out with this. The rage thing seems to be what I want to do.

A player wants to try out a shapechanging character, but not in the usual sense. He's looking for an Incredible Hulk type scenario. As he pitched it to me, its a regular human with levels of rogue who gains the half-fiend template when he becomes angry or takes damage.[br][br]The closest thing I can...
