May 1	comment	How do I model sinkholes collapsing under the PCs? Have you considered making it a balance check? While it is possibly one of the most useless skills (in my opinion), it seems to suit your situation quite well.
Mar 21	comment	Does a natural 20 initiative roll have any special rules? I'm not sure whether this is a rule, or just how I've played (thus not an answer), but I treat it as an automatic first in the order UNLESS someone else gets a natural 20 AND has a higher initiative bonus.
Mar 18	comment	What is the difference between these Player's Handbooks? The first (as noted by the "with errata").
Mar 18	comment	Would a greatsword that is +1/+3 vs aberrations unbalance my game? Have you considered creating your own aberration to suit your needs?
Mar 17	comment	Could Belief in Little Fears: Nightmare Edition cause the dark side of the moon to really be dark? Could you either add a system or make this system agnostic?
Mar 13	comment	Why does everyone carry a 10' pole? I've ruled that the rules actually were supposed to be 2 silver for the pole and 5 silver for the ladder, and this is how I would play if my PCs ever bought either of them.
Feb 20	comment	What is the best way to play D&D via long distance? I've used a Document, which my players can comment on but not edit. There's also a chat feature.
Feb 6	comment	How to fix sorcerors getting shafted by spell point variants? Did you take into account when calculating this that the normal rules have you casting at your fullest caster level allowed by the spell? This might change this significantly. This might fall short, though, when you consider the difference between a damage-dealing spell and a static cost spell.
Feb 6	comment	Why is Hand Crossbow regarded as Exotic Weapon in 3.5e? @YogoZuno I'm not familiar with Greyhawk. I do mention that I may be wrong about the default campaign. The drow are similar in both, though, right?
Jan 19	comment	Animated dead in challenge ratings The way I see it is that desecrate allows you to create your full allotment in one casting.
Jan 18	comment	Animated dead in challenge ratings What if the enemy spellcaster in question casts Animate Dead in the middle of combat on already prepared corpses? This has pre-combat preparation, but is casted during combat. I could really see someone wheeling around a cart of prepared corpses and just casting Animate Dead as an in-combat spell when his start dying.
Jan 18	comment	Animated dead in challenge ratings And what if they are working with something bigger? Like a minotuar zombie (CR 4, has 12 HD, could be controlled by level 5 cleric)?
Jan 18	comment	Alternative spell system That link was a mistake, was supposed to be to dandwiki.com/wiki/SP_Spellcasting_%283.5e_Variant_Rule%29 (also fixed it in post)
Jan 18	comment	Can a class feature acquired at a certain level be used if an item that rasies effective level is used? One of the many reasons I like being the DM- I make the final decisions on what is and isn't allowed.
Jan 16	comment	Does Wealth By Level allow for “free” potions? It may be that the wealth value for a given level already subtracts the value of consumables expected to be used until that point.
Jan 14	comment	Where do the standard racial tropes for Dwarves come from? Tolkien's dwarves are actually based on Medieval Jews, and based much of their story on the return to Israel. This reflects both positively (good craftsmen), negatively (separate from the rest of the world, love of money) and neutrally (language, appearance).
Jan 14	comment	Team cleric, team warrior, team mage I could see a team of mage duelists, perhaps using modified sets of magic dueling rules from PHB2. I could even begin to see tactics forming- two counter mages, one damage mage, and one summon mage (for distractions).
Jan 14	comment	Team cleric, team warrior, team mage 4 White Mages? It'll never work!
Jan 11	comment	What do you do when there's nothing to do in combat? The party is in no danger of losing the fight, but we've run into this situation enough times to warrant needing an answer to this.
Jan 11	comment	Order of operations for weapon damage Ah, thank you for adding that in.
