Also, related to movement during fly, and the fact that medium/heavy armor or a medium/heavy load reduces movement. Why are you able to carry more while flying just because your muscles are stronger? Shouldn't the fly spell have a strength score added on, to represent how much the fly spell can...

The party or the monster? If the monster, yes, you can quite easily dismiss the summoned creature if it decides to attack contrary to an order. As for the party, you can advise them not to attack, and I would suggest NOT giving them any spell with the purpose of enhancing their ability to...

Hey Pen, if people aren't allowed to take handouts, why, when it discusses expensive material components, is the Ascetic allowed to beg for it when the only benefit is to the party, yet he couldn't ride a boat when a party member paid for his travel if the world depended on it? I think your...

And what if the players belief is one does not OWN an animal? But takes care of it, rides it for excercise, and feeds it? I know many people who raise animals who would feel this way, especially about horses. They technically own them, but they think of them as friends, and think of it as their...

I'll say this, if you roleplay your mule a bunch, name it, talk to yet, etc, and generally have some fun with it, I'd allow you to keep it. A character with the Vow of Poverty is allowed to take a share of the treasure, as long as he intends to donate it to a charitable cause ASAP. Level 2 you...

Creatures with NATURAL movements of Fly or Swim can take the Run full round action. Burrow and Climb do not have the ability to do the Run full round action. All the actions give a note about whether they can charge/run etc. Calrin Alshaw

If they know who they are scrying, have seen them, or know their name, they are scrying the individual that they saw, unless they only have a name. If they are scrying the Doppleganger, and he is in another form, that is what they see, the other form. At this point, they might be a bit...

Well, as far as "pain" system, not really, but I have a game system I created that involves superficial wounds, where the effects of 10 of such wounds counts as a minor wound, that effects your physical abilities. In such a case, it would take about 110 wasp stings to kill an average human. The...

I'm sorry, I have to disagree with the PHB on the whole doubling of price for each size increase above whats listed in the PHB. My reason being, the largest costs in most objects is the cost of the craftsmanship, not the materials. I generally just add 50% of the medium-sized person price...

You either try to "juggle" it, doing a few rounds of rogueish stuff, then asking the group what they are doing. Or you simply tell them "Go talk amongst yourselves for a bit" and do all the rogueish stuff. Calrin Alshaw

Anyone else with any suggestions/advice? Calrin Alshaw

First off, thank you for taking the time to read it and reply! I very much appreciate it. This is in-part deliberate, there will be things that, due to character development through actual play, that I will give PC's bonus's to certain stat-tests. So, while there is no specific skill system...

I recently created a simple (4 pages of rules) set of rules to run a game I wanted to run. I'm looking for constructive criticism and suggestions. The Ivy Labyrinth Please visit and let me know what you think. Calrin Alshaw
