One thing I've never really gotten the hang of as a DM is whenever the rogue in the party sneaks ahead of the group. The particular problem that keeps cropping up is the way the rest of the players are left standing and are more or less just waiting for the rogue to return before they can go on...

One problem that I keep coming across is having groups without any healers. Parties with 2 rogues, 1 mage, a barbarian and a fighter, that sort of party. Usually someone ends up with volounteering a career change to something along the lines of cleric or druid, but it's happened more than once...

(Not sure if this is the right forum and I hope I won't upset anyone.) I believe that most of those here that have played teh MMORPG World of Warcraft is aware of the roleplaying server. It's a pity though that the orcs aren't even allowed to attack the night elves when they get too close to...

No too long into the future I will run a session (or series of them if all goes well) with my usual players. It's a new campaign and they are all creating their characters at the moment, thinking up ideas and concepts. So far it seems like the group will consist of rogue and fighter like...

One of my players mentioned earlier today that he is considering buying a scroll of awaken so that he can awaken his wolf animal companion. He needs the scroll as he is only a 6th level druid. Now two questions pop up in my head: Du you use the standard hd of the animal when you awaken it or...

I'm in need of some help here. You see, I'm planning on confronting my players with a thieves guild. The problem is that this is my first campaign as a GM, so I don't have that much GM experience. Now, I don't got a clue on how to create a functioning Thieves Guild, or how to run a campaign...

In response to all the "What annoys you"-threads I'm creating an optimistical version of them. So, what makes you put on a smile as a DM? From the top of my head I would say: PLayers talking about how cool they thought one of the encounters that you spent hours planning on. Players writing...

I've got a question. A mage can cast Shield]/i] to gain one-half cover from one side. Can he then cast a second Shield to gain one-half cover from another side, say, his back? I would say that this is a DM's call, since they are two different effects, so the stacking-rule with "the higher is...

I'm currently planning/running a campaign in Forgotten Realms where I've decided to bring back Moander. I haven't worked out all the details yet, but I'm thinkinhg of some sort of sponsorship from Shar and everything is supposed to be secret, that part neing covered by Shar's portfolio. I've...

If a barbarian becomes an undead trough templates, like vampire or lich, how long would his/her rage last? Normally, the rage lasts (CON modifier + 3) rounds, but since undeads don't have any constittution, well...

Next session I'm throwinng my players a hit-and-run encounter with a werewolf. The combat will take place in a moderately dense forest, and if all goes right, he will run out from some trees, hit a pc with his spring attack, and run back and hide behind the trees again a couple of rounds. The...

Is it just me, or does nobody use them? I can only remember encountering them once in a campaign.

Note: None of my players should read this thread! Second, I would like to point out that I have already read the text in the Monster Manual, so there's no point in telling me to read it again, unless you think I missed something. My problem is that I wanted to create a large worg of human...

I was making a lvl 5 Nezumi monk for our short upcoming campaign when I saw that nezumi's have bite and claw attacks (it's the first time I use this book, so...). So I was thinking, is it possible for nezumi's to take the Multiattack feat instead of Two-Weapon Fighting and Ambidexterity to get...
