Does the wizard want to make divine magic impossible everywhere in the multiverse, or is something smaller in scope acceptable? The world has an inhabited moon which I would like to be untouched by his actions. So, no he doesn't want it to be done everywhere, just the world in which he lives. It's ...

One of this hobby's biggest paradoxes for me is rooted in the preciousness of the character. On the one hand, you want players to get really invested and involved and doing great RPing (and this requires investment, time, work, and depth), while on the other hand you want the possibility for PC deat...

How would a wizard make his magic the ONLY magic?
I'm working on a plot for an upcoming game I'm to run, and here's a portion of the main plot hook: A wizard wants to make divine magic impossible. [/i] What are some conceivable ways he might attempt to make this happen using 3.5? I would like to avoid as much deus ex machina as possible so that in ...

Fundamental : What is the purpose of direct damage magic? Is the intent to build a character who can be a glass cannon? Is the intent to produce ranged damage options that further round out a group's tactical options? Or do you just want an option for when your character who doesn't sword things wa...

We've tried the option of group initiative, where every PC gets to act when it's the PCs' turn, and actions are simultaneous. The problem with it that no one wants to let someone else change their character's actions, but this is just unavoidable. Either one of the players is like me and tactically ...

Why are you giving dual-wielders more attacks? I read that as +1 to your attack bonus, not +1 additional attack. I'm surprised that I'm wrong, because that seems wacky. Either way, if you remove so much of the detail already, why have dual-wielding as an option at all? I mean, if there's no differe...
