    Abilities like Factotum Cunning Knowledge?

    Hello, I am also building a skill-monkey (as in another thread here) and followed that with great interest. I've decided to use the Human Rogue w/ int 16 and Nymph's Kiss in order to get 13 skill pts/level. My DM has also agreed to allow the use of Knowledge as a class skill without the use...

    I'm gaming again! also, how to make a simpler campaign?

    Hi everyone, I am starting up a new campaign and I'm really happy to say that I'm back! I haven't played now in over a year and a bit. I had two groups -- one of which fell apart due to time issues, and the other which fell apart since the storyline was a little too complicated. Also, half...

    Help! PC party makeup creates DM quandary!

    Hi all, I've been recently DMing a game that started off with 4 players: a wizard, a druid, a barbarian, and two fighters. This is a fairly easy party to throw into the middle of a typical combat and know they'll come out ok (making sure they have lots of portable healing instead of a cleric)...

    Building a level 9 wandering scholar

    Hi all, I am picking up a 3.0 campaign my friends and I had left off a while back. In it I played a wandering scholar sort of person - kind of like Indiana Jones, but more focussed on wits and agility instead of brawn. The idea was to be part of a group called the "Seekers", who of course...

    How to play a cleric of adventuring and risks?

    Hello, I've recently introduced a new NPC to my group without being fully prepared to handle the repercussions. He is a cleric of Norebo, the god of Gambling, Luck, and Risks. I've intended to introduce him as someone who will push my very conservative players to take a few more chances...

    Hello, My druid is about to head into a nest of giant spiders, but I can't find any decent spells to use against vermin! Where's the vermin friendship, charm vermin, hold vermin, etc.? Should the animal* spells apply to vermin? Know of any spells that I can use against vermin (as the druid...

    The Ultimate NPC book?

    Hi, There was much talk about the "ultimate" NPC "bible" being released now that 3rd party publishers are given access. Has this happened? What is the "best" NPC accessory out there? I'm talking villains, barmaids, merchants, government, adventurers, reluctant monster heroes, city guards...

    Tracking on foot vs. horseback? Also, covering tracks

    Hi all, Looking at the Track feat, the DC for tracking someone on foot (let's say Medium-size) versus tracking someone on horseback (which are Large) is only a difference of 1?? Does this make sense? I have a group of 8 people on foot. I would have figured tracking 8 people on horseback is...

    Escorting the Prisoner Scenarios? (my players stay out)

    Hi everyone, The group that I DM has just set off escorting a prisoner into another country. Many factions want this fellow dead, including the government of the country that they are headed off into. They are also heading into a warzone to get this guy through. This seems to be a fairly...

    Greyhawk info (around Thornward)?

    Hi all, I own the D&D Gazetteer and the Living Greyhawk Gazeteer. Both of these fall far short of acceptable settings. There are no roads on the map for darn's sake! Anyhow, my party is around Thornward, and I plan on using Veluna/Ket/Bissel/Gran March conflicts, so they'll be in and around...

    Magic Fang Question

    Hi all, If this is cast on a dire bear with 2 claw attacks, does it affect only 1 claw, or both? If this is cast on a druid wildshaped into a bear, does it persist if he wildshapes back to a human - now perhaps it is on his hand? And then when wildshaped into a tiger ... does it continue...

    Hi, I just finished reading "A Game of Thrones". I note there are two other books available in this series. Is this another Jordanesque series, or is there a set number of books? I don't want to read any more if there is the possibility that it will stretch out over the next 15 years, or...

    Druid Speaking Common while Wildshaped?

    So ... According to MotW, the druid's wildshape ability prevents the individual from speaking any of the languages he or she knows. The new form only allows primitive noises. (It also doesn't allow her to speak the language of the animal whose shape she took). So does anyone know of any way...

    Hi guys, Has anyone here played an Animal Lord (I have seen a few people have on a previous thread ...) The question is: How useful is farspeech, animal sense, and share perceptions? This and animal bond seem to be the only truly different stuff from a high level druid and a high level...

    Hi everyone, I am about to play a wizard without evocation or conjuration spells - but the big question I am having problems with is how to help during combat? Yes, I have buff spells, but those pretty much have to be cast ahead of time ... any thoughts would be appreciated.
