I have a player whose character is an assassin. Upon the beginning of a battle he will become invisible and "study the monster" for 3 rounds. On the 4th round he will attack, usually killing the monster. Last time we played, he did his usual thing but when he went to attack, he tripped, and...

Hey, TheEvil, I spoke with player 2 and she agrees: player 1 does defer decisions to her and she has seen him alter his style of play to protect her character. Neither of us is sure how to fix this, but she is going to try in game to put decisions back in his hand, if it's not a group...

Will do Evil. I guess I wasn't clear in conveying my thoughts earlier re: possible side effects of playing D&D. Yes, first and foremost is having fun. I whole-heartedly agree, if however; the players glean some modicum of additional positive side effects in the process, all the better. Why...

I don't think it's intrusive at all. Player 3 is more if a brat than ass. He is used to getting things his own way out of game and has very definate opinions on things and makes it known. He is however not rude to anyone, my partner included. In game he plays in character and is not bratty...

As far as I can see, my agenda is to get the players, all of them; to think for themselves and not just in game. My players are all under 22 and (this is a generalization NOT to be taken as an affront) IMHO people at that age need to develop a fine tuned problem solving thought process that can...

Some of the posts wanted more info, so here goes. Player 1 is the engaged male Player 2 is his fiancée. Player 3 is by his OWN admission an ass, not just in game situations, but in real life. Players 4 & 5 are minors; one male and one female, non-couple. Our little group started with players 1...

I have 5 players, 2 women and 3 men the encompass a couple that are engaged to be married. This is common knowledge and a good thing. One of the other male players has come to me and said he doesn't want the players that are engaged to be engaged in game or have a relationship in game...

I created the world and setting the city is in, and have a general overview of it, but the BBEG's have a base of operations here and the PC's need to find it, then get into the stronghold, explore it and find their companion. I am just worried that the details will be lacking and if I need to...

Does anyone have a good city campaign that can be adapted easily?? I have a PC who has been kidnapped and the party needs to find him in a very large city but I am not very familiar with urban campaigns and need some maps, idea's...general help. Any websites or other resources out there??

The player in question has played for a while, but I do think it was an honest mistake. I REALLY like the idea of her becoming undead and will work on the story lines to include her being undead. GREAT IDEA!!!! I did let the players know they had an ability drain when they were hit, (they...

Sunday night while playing, my party encountered 2 wraiths. 3 different players were hit and had their constitution drained, 1 drained all the way to 0. the player should be dead from the wraith attack, but I didn't realize that their CON was 0 untill after an attack by 4 minor xorns. play...

I haven't had a chance to find out yet. I think i did it right, but the campaign hasn't moved in the direction I was thinking ( as sometimes happens) and I am working him in later.

The group of players we have has just increased by 2. They are newer players and are both young (under 18, I am 35 and the other 3 players are early 20's). I am looking for some general house rules that will be helpful in keeping the adventuring fun and moving along so everyone has fun and...

We had a situation come up last night that I need some input on. We, as a group decided to play with the critical/fumble table I found on the net. One of the players fumbled and as a result, had a -4 to attack for 4 rounds. On his next attack, he rolled a natural 18, which is a critical with...

The character was working on being like a Zen master and as part of the story line, was studying with a master to attain a hghr level of concentration and abilities. The player and I talked about how he could get the abilities he wanted and he agreed that the charater would be servant to a...
