Players of Tethyr_Game who might be reading this are to cease. You know how terrible and swift my anger is. So I need a divine or semi-divine patron for a conniving cleric. The situation: I'm running Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil as a PBEM, set in FR. The party got to be friends with...

Background text follows, providing fun but not mandatory context for my designing needs. The party are running Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. I made the dwarves in the town by the big dungeon into the last survivors of the time when it was dwarf-held. When the party started making...

I'm on the verge of writing about the nobility for my reimagined homebrew Dragonlance setting (sort of deconstructed and abused far beyond the tolerances it was built to for my own aesthetic objectives) and seeking inspirational material. I already know a bit about how the British Honours System...

I'm considering allowing the variant as written in my games and wanted to get an idea of others' experience with it. Do you find that PCs are more inclined to take Item Creation feats and use them in-game? Do you think the craft points gained per level table is too generous? It seems like a...

This is actually game-related, but it's in the category of "things I want to know about the real world to flesh out my PC" than "how many elves can frolic on the head of a pin" so I came here. I'm gearing up to play a mutant in a sci-fi game. One of his mutations is that his epidermis is...

Fairly unforeseen by me, my hapless 9th level PCs have more or less asked a Kalashtar holy man to give them a mission in exchange for telling them some things about the Inspired. The holy man in question is Havahkad from Sharn, if it's any help. I hadn't really planned on featuring the Kalashtar...

I'm thinking about buying this bad boy to pillage for ideas and maybe maps on my own Dragon-and-worshippers setup, but I had a few questions: What kind of dragon is it? :) What sort of servitors are its "dragonblooded followers"? Kobolds? Half-dragons? Something else? And lastly, how extensive...

I'm working on a five-headed behir for an upcoming 15th level game. Actually, I'll file off the serial numbers and call it a Blessed Temple Guardian of Tiamat or something like that. But anyway, I'm working with the multiheaded template in Savage Species. Adding 4 heads gives me a total of +8 HD...

I'm working on a fire giant boss encounter for an upcoming game and what I'm reading is making me crap my pants. The SRD says this about classed monster gear: "Also use ECL to determine starting wealth for a monster character." I'm creating a sort of a fire giant boss for a 15th level...

I'm working up a PC who happens to be the son of two foreign nationals living in the US. Mom is a German physicist and Dad is a British medievalist. They're legal permanent residents of the United States, but neither one has seen fit to become naturalized or gain full citizenship. They have a...

I'm playing in a PBEM and my halfling bard just died. Again. I got him raised once before, but doing it twice is starting to feel pretty cheesy. So it's new PC time for me. The party is sixth level and the DM has a reasonably liberal book policy and we're based in a version of Freeport adapted...

If any of my players are out there, you know how long it will take for you to die the death of ten thousand screams and a dash of mayonnaise. That's right, I'll use the mayo. Some spoiler space, just in case. That's enough of that. I have a PBEM campaign that's slowly gone...

My PBEM group is pretty much fed up with the module we've been running and so am I for various reasons. So I'm in the market for something that's good for a band of somewhat violently inclined 3rd level PCs. Several of them have run or played through Freeport and Forge of Fury, which are all I...

I'm passing this on for a friend who's having trouble registering for the boards. Long ago, a powerful saint gathered dozens of the world's most malignant forces of evil and locked them away in his far-flung warrens behind magically sealed doors. Today someone opened a door.... This...

Bit behind the times, aren't I? :) Well I liked the original, but got out of PC games for a goodly while and thus missed the sequel later. I saw it was down to around $30 at the local Wal-Mart and picked it up. But I'm stuck and don't know how I can kick the plot back into gear. I've taken a...

I'm introducing a new PC into my PBEM, and her concept is that she got sort of dragooned into theiving and then when the local guild wanted to assassinate one of the triumvirate of leaders ruling her home city, they set her up as a patsy. But she escaped the trap where she got seen with the body...

I've been trying to de-emphasize Common in my FR game and instead play up the various regional tongues. The game is set in Chessenta, so the language in question is Chessentan. I want to keep Common around as a lingua franca, but I'm trying to make it a perennial second language. No one, or...

I've just had a PC wizard killed by shadows and I decided she'd make a good antagonist for the party to fight in 1d4 rounds. But the template isn't specific, does her gear to incorporeal with her or does it stay corporeal, meaning she's got about one shot with her spells and then wont be...

A huge viper, specifically. I know it's coiled 15x15, but if it were stretched out how long and how thick would the animal be, assuming the proportions for real-world snakes hold. I know nothing about snakes, but I have a PC who wants one as an animal companion.

I picked up an issue of Dungeon for the first time in some while to mine for my PBEMs. I had been toying with looking into the Adventure Path, and this seemed as good a time as any. I have a few cities around that I'd like to involve the PCs with and I was hoping I could take Cauldron and swap...
