Kinds regards to all, Have loved WotBS so much so far. My group played for about 2 years in person then took about a year's break and we're now trying to get it resumed via Fantasy Grounds on steam. I DM, so after hearing about how great FG was for rules integration and general ease of use and...

Bear in mind that a dominated victim acts strangly, and their fellows can recognise that strange behaviour with a dc25 sense motive check. Depending on how much of a personality you've given torrent or how talkative she is, it might be easy for the group to notice (if you want them to have the...

The motivations of coaltounge's assassins are a bit vague - the introduction actually mentions this: Who Hired the Assassins? There is no clear answer to who recruited the assassins to kill Drakus Coaltongue, or if they did it of their own free will. You can generally assume Leska, the new...

The folks here made the book years and years ago and don't tend to have missing material such as stats (for mobs, or items such as the weakened torch, or earring of whispering winds) when asked. I recommend just whipping up a polar bear and then granting the benefits of a X-level druid. Give...

Thom, it's okay to let Deception/Vuhl detect as minor magic (as mentioned on page 59 of the complete edition) for his illusion to appear as a fey. Having a magic aura detected on you is not incriminating, it just means you're using some kind of magic. Even if specified as transmutation, Vuhl can...

I have personally not had much luck in getting players to play alternative characters for the bonus adventures. I loved the content (particularly Dreamcatcher's Traveller) but my players would have no interest spending our gaming time doing tasks that does not reward or relate to their main...

Yes I've taken to cutting out MM and appendix stats and using them with a clipboard, a bit necessary simply due to the format as you said!

Check dungeon master's guide page 135 - character wealth by level.

Was the plan - just wanted to doublecheck before bumping up my guys wealth that it wasn't intended to be strictly as-is! Thanks for the insight

As a DM most of my focus/efforts for making the game fun for my group is in the delivery of characters and situations and making them impressive. I do get flashes of inspiration about how to weave my own story into campaigns, my own encounters and NPCs, but beyond this I don't have the interest...

Most of the activity in Seaquen is not terribly map-dependant. The players will probably spend their time between the north and south harbour, and the refugee camps. The many troubles seaquen needs help with, are more flavorful than tactical challanges - you can make tactical maps on the fly as...

Hello! I got the 3.5 WotBS all-in-one book some months ago. Loving it, it's the best campaign I've DMed (the one gripe I have that all the NPC stats are waaaay at the back of that gigantic book and I gotta flip over 700 pages back and forth!:P) My group love it also. Very much looking forwards...

3.5 had both the Knight (basic class, PHB2) and Cavelier (P. Class, Complete Warrior). Knight was a super-tank with heavy armor + tower shields like fighter, but with the rare huge d12 hit die, and "taunt"/you have to fight me mechanics. Heavy on honour, moreso than the paladin but less about...

I guess the fact that "how to make a good monk" began with "take 3 levels of ranger" put me off. It's not as bad as it looked at a glance, thanks again for the input. One thing about doing nothing the barb isn't doing already, the barb doesn't get to move 50ft and have free trip/grapple...

Thanks for all the input. Psi anything isn't happening as we're not doing any of the psionic stuff. Yeah part of the reason I buffed STR is that as monk there's not enough feats to go around to take weapon finesse and the wisdom=damage thing, which is a good find, thanks much. STR is good for...
