    Player that can only play once a month

    I don't question his will to play. He will start to work at very odd hours, some weeks will work all night, other weeks will start working at 5AM, and so on. I have in the past said NO to people who wanted to play "once-in-a-while". But for years, he has never missed a gaming session. I want to...

    Player that can only play once a month

    Hello, I humbly call upon the collective wisdom of EN World and ask for enlightenment. One of my players cannot continue to play in our weekly game session, for work reasons. He told me that he would be able to play once a month. This guy has been part of the "core" group for years, and I...

    Hit Points, the DM or the players?

    I keep track of the players HP. I also roll the damage rolls secretly. I use a table divided in 4 parts (light, moderate, serious, critical). They know the max HP and can make a estimate based on what I tell them. I thought it would be a pain to keep track, but we really love it. When I tell...

    How do you guys do Hps? And why?

    This is how we do in my group: The player rolls his dice. He can then choose to keep it or letting the DM roll for him. If he chooses the DM roll, he keeps it, whatever it is. We tend to get above average results, but it has happened that the fighter, who rolled a 5, gets greedy, chooses de...

    Claw attacks and AoO

    Thank you. I thought that if the creature had more than one attack, as in "2 claw, bite" it could use the 2 claw after a move. My players are going to love you :)

    Hi, This has always been a hot topic for discussion with my group: If a monster has a primary attack of 2 claws will it make two attacks when doing and Attack of Opportunity?

    Natural weapons and Touch attacks

    That's how I was thinking of doing it, just wanted to make sure if there was any official rule about that.

    Natural weapons and Touch attacks

    Hello. Can a creature use a natural attack, like a claw, to deliver a melee touch attack? What I mean is, if the claw hits, the creature deals damage equal to the claw damage plus the touch attack damage. I can't find any official rule about this, but I am thinking in allowing it.

    How to handle checks that just HAVE to succeed?

    Thanks for all the replies. I know that I should consider several options, but my problem is just lack of time. I always plan on preparing a great adventure, but never have the time to do it and always end up using something from Dungeon Magazine. And I have found that many of those...

    How to handle checks that just HAVE to succeed?

    The next adventure is supposed to start with the delivery of a ransom payment and then following the Bad Guys to the hideout. But then I started thinking: "What if they fail the track check?" If they do fail, then it's the end of the adventure. If I fudge, it doesn't feel right. This has...
