I think there are definitely times when CDG is perfectly fine for a DM to use, even when it may seem it doesn't make sense with attackers nearby to take AoOs. Perhaps these undead were under orders from a BBEG to reduce the PC group's number, i.e. take the opportunity to kill a PC if it gets...

Bump... BUMP!

I agree, but that then raises the question (at least to me) of how to resolve the failed bull rush. Per the rules, an attacker who fails to beat the defenders opposed check is forced to go back to the square he entered from (since he had to occupy the defenders square). If he fails because of...

Well, I never said it harmed my free will, just trumped it. The word trump was originally derived from triumph which means 'to be victorious; to win over'. I think the action of slinging a bolt at the BBEG and stopping his speech means that my choice to listen is indeed trumped. However, I...

Speaking as a player who, every time the DM wants to interject a little personality to a BBEG, sees another player blurt out "That's it, I shoot him with my crossbow", I like the idea that combat indeed can wait until the BBEG has his fill and everyone has an opportunity to roleplay in the...

A bit of a hijack but what about this: From the 3.5 SRD Spell Description for Blasphemy: Does this spell deal ability damage or a penalty to strength? My gut feeling is strength damage, but to me this would be open to interpretation. I remember an encounter when our group of PCs were faced...

Another weekend in the Valus... Whew, Four days and many beers later, we've completed another weekend of marathon gaming. Suffice it to say Destan has a couple more PC deaths to add to the tally. It looks like one more session might just wrap this campaign up. Don't worry though, Destan has...

I don't think it's a much of a spoiler to say that Kellus will eventually become a Covenguard. I wrote his background with the intention of eventually taking the class. There are others who eventually take it, but it's much further down the road. If anything, it gave Destan a few more plot...

This was and still is one of the most memorable epsiodes of the campaign thus far for me. We had wrapped up our little session around the table with John dead and both Raylin and I (Kellus) incapacitated. Destan figured the best thing to do at that point was to sort it all out by e-mail...

Hi, I play in Destan's campaign and a situation arose this past playing session that we believe we adjudicated correctly, but it left us feeling less than satisfied with the ruling (didn't get warm fuzzies that it was the right thing to do). I rather imposing evil outsider cast a harm spell...

I'm not absolutely positive without the DMG in front of me, but I'm pretty sure you cannot use the 'animate' property on a tower shield. I think the description states you can only animate a light or heavy shield. The cost for a +1 animated medium heavy shield is 9000gp. That's a whole lotta...

Heh, It's been almost three years since the events in this thread have taken place and we STILL haven't come face to face with Loroth yet. Well, I should say, we have met him, we just didn't know we met him. Destan is pretty sneaky in that way. Our current top priority as a group is to ferret...

That clears it up. Thanks for the quick response. :)

For the feat Holy Ki Strike from the Book of Exaulted Deeds, the prerequisites list Cha 15, Sanctify Ki Strike, Improved Unarmed Strike, and Ki Strike (Holy). I cannot seem to find out how one acquires Ki Strike (Holy). It isn't one of the progressions for the Monk from the 3.5 PHB. Is this...

Bump BUMP Page three won't do.

I play a Cleric in a long-running campaign. He is currently 13th level and, for the most part, I keep him out of too much trouble. However, there were two times where he nearly bought the farm and both had to do with ability score drains. One was on the shadow plane where shadows (go figure)...
