I created a custom spell (well spell-like ability actually) to use against my players, but thought it might work as a spell as well (or it might not... which is why I'm posting). I have no idea what level the spell should be, however. Any opinions on that would be welcome. Also, if anyone has...

What happens if a rope trick is cast, but before the spell ends, the area around the window is encompassed by something solid. Some specific cases: 1. what happens if someone casts a wall of stone which encompasses all sides of the window? (I believe that wall of stone by itself is...

I'm looking for some ideas to flesh out my world with some backstory, and I'm thinking legends of old might be neat. To that end I'm looking for some artifacts to base stories around. I don't plan on having my characters find any of these (though of course who knows what can happen), but they...

I was thinking it would be cool if there were an NPC searchable repository. It would allow people to submit NPC's they've created for their campaigns, as well as browse NPCs to use when they don't have time to create one, or are looking for something specific for ideas. Does something like...

One of my players would like to make a custom magic item, a scribe's quill, as described here: Scribe's Quill: This ordinary, if well-made, writing quill looks to be nothing more than the sort of object found on the desks of clerks and scribes everywhere. If detected for, however, a faint aura...

I have a player who is interested in creating a ship. Now fabricate says that you have to make a successful craft check to make anything complex (which I assume a ship falls into). What would be the DC check for a ship? Or would you break it into components (hull, sails, rudder, etc) and...

Let's say an archer says, "I ready an attack to fire as soon as the wizard casts a spell." The wizard then on his turn casts a quickened spell, which is a free action. What happens? I can see maybe a couple things, and I don't know which, if any, is right (which is why I'm asking). The...

I'm introducing the players, in a way, to the high-level tactic of buffing and then teleporting in. One problem I have, however, is that I don't know it that well myself. So I'm asking for help here from those that have played in a lot of high level campaigns. What buffs do you put on your...

Hi, I'm creating a weapon which my players may or may not find. So if you are playing in my campaign (that's the Nyternia/Belar campaign for those who don't remember my account name), please stop reading. Not all (or any) of these things are going to make it in anyways... In any event...

The PrC Assassin says that they cast spells as a bard. A bard cannot cast silent spells. Does this mean that the assassin cannot cast a silenced spell? Any other thoughts on that?

In the PrC assassins cast spells as if they are bards. In the PH, bards cannot cast silent spells. Therefore, one could say that assassins can't cast spells silently. Is that correct?

Disregard how one might know and just assume he does... if someone says "I ready an action to cast glittering dust in the path of a fireball that is about to be cast" what happens? Fireball gets stopped if it hits anything solid. However, I assume some common sense needs to apply... for...

Worlds of Warcraft (the MMORPG) uses a concept called "bind on equip." What that means is that a magic item can be traded around freely as long as it's not used. Once it's used by a person, however, that item only works for that person and can't be traded around anymore. This poses...

My party may or may not be entering a LE city soon with an emphasis on the lawful part. My idea (not original) is that the party members will have to sign a contact upon entering. Basically stating that they will not steal, lie, cheat, etc, and that there are a number of rules they must abide...

One of my players is interested in taking this prestige class, and I had two questions: 1. has anyone played one or had one in their campaign? Did it seem balanced? Or were there any other problems with it? 2. From reading the text, it says after you take a full round action to get a spell...

If a BBEG and friends scry a party and then teleport in (and weren't detected beforehand), would you say they automatically got a surprise round? Or would the party get some chance to not be surprised? And if so, what sort of check would you have them make?

Here's the setup: my group of six adventurers are going to an adventurer's fair / conference (kind of like a Gencon for adventurers). They've won a qualifier tournament that gives them free entry into the big tournament. What I need is help on a couple different things: - are there any other...

Do these interact in any way? We've had a discussion about it in our gaming group. Some argue that tasha's doesn't impede movement per se, it's merely an effect of a condition. Others counter that since it makes you fall prone, unable to move, that it should be covered by freedom of movement...

I'm running a campaign in which some part of it is spent in a dream state where... many things happen. While I'm currently happy with what I've envisioned and I have a set of rules I've developed, I figure it won't hurt to try and read up on what other people and companies have done regarding...

I know there is some spectrum on this question, which is why I'm posting this poll. First question I guess would be, does your campaign have some sort of over-arching plot? If no, I guess you can answer 0% to the poll. If so, what percentage of sessions would you prefer be devoted to that...
