Here's the PDF of what I have so far for the DM to use. Haven't change the spell list yet.

>>51972741
Well I really need to not change much except for the spell list, and maybe give him some items. He's a wizard and a lich (recently ascended but still) so he should have a ton of spells. I just don't want to change too much about him except for spell list and maybe giving him a few items (preferrably something that would let him detect this guy before he gets close enough).

The other big issue is, I am not the one running him. The DM is, and the DM does not know 3.5 well. He lost to a few clever tricks and let one player (the psion) solo-kill two 11th level hobgoblin wizards aboard a huge ship.

Like I said he's a really really good storyteller but he doesn't know the rules and we have a rules-lawyer in our group, except the type who advocates for his twisted interpretation and shuts down all opposition. And everyone backs him up except me who wants an actual fair fight.

So, if this guy decides to rush in and fight the lich alone, it'd be nice if said lich had some good tricks up his sleeve. Preferrably tricks that are idiotproof because the DM, while intelligent, is not fantastic at 3.5

If I was running the lich, he would have contingency dimension door on him and would be scrying the PCs from afar ready for them to show up, then have whole armies of illusory undead and summon wraiths and shit to drain their strength into oblivion before showing up and raping them with disintegrate, flesh to stone, baleful polymorph, et cetera.

But I'm not running him so I have to give a recipe to the DM.

Earth. It sucks, so the GM introduced alien planets we will never visit just to spice things up.

Magic pain glove, What should I do?

YYYUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHH!

What's the best module to hook people into the hobby? One with a low-level entry (in player skill), ramping difficulty, and a bit of everything when it comes to flavor.
I'm using B/X btb and I'm very strict with resource/time tracking, if that matters.

Runescape, Burning Wheel and maybe OSR retroclones like "Adventurer Conqueror King", but with those you need to understand the design choices and well, there still can be this DnD creep but AFAIK lower.

So those 2 former titles are probably what you are looking for, but "Runescape" is very different and "Burning Wheels" need some serious reading through, so it might not be ideal.

>>51969146
I've found that I had a pdf of Burning Wheels, I've started reading and remembered why I forgot it. The mechanics of it sound interesting but it's so hard to read. I'm not finding an RPG called Runescape, dare I presume you meant Runequest?

>>51968958
>I'm super hyped because I'm fed up of sci fi and I want to run something Heroic and not morally ambigious

That's less on the setting or ruleset and more on the tone of the campaign and the antagonists you want to let the players face.
Make sure to tell this upfront to your players so they don't mistakenly create anti-heroes and ruin everyone fun.

>>51967919
Arguably an artist and/or orator of any sort. You could probably do a painter bard.

Don't you WANT to be a str 18 sculptor bard? It's not like performing that way really takes that much time. You can take small jobs in engraving etc.

A prostitute.

I think some people have had issues with it being a distraction during the game, though usually this is because someone just isn't ivnested or paying attention anyways.

Only had an issue once with laptops at the table, and it was just one guy who had to stop the game every 5 minutes to show us this wacky hilarious xD video he found on youtube. He was stopping games and being disruptive even before the laptop was an issue though, so I don't blame that.

Told him to put it away, he didn't, so I just kicked him out, and the problem was solved.

>Are their players riddled with ADHD?
Clearly you play with different breed of gamer form another planet.

Complaining one has ADD at the drop of a hat is the go to excuse for any gamer I have met in the last decade of my life.
>The obvious take away is that they don't actually have it, they just want an excuse to be a spazz.

>calling anyone riddled with adhd when you can't keep track of basic numbers

There are two ways I could see this character class being written:

Aren't that DSA1 rules? I wish somebody would upload the 5. edition. Or just the new books into the german folder. I'm still looking for Niobaras Vermächtnis but can't find it anywhere.
