    Unconscious Ranger - What does the Beast do?

    I got mixed answers at RPGnet, thought I'd try the more rigorous EnWorld (next stop, Wizards forums). So ... we just finished a session last tonight. The ranger just re-built her character as a beastmaster. She has a cat. Couple of questions came up. 1) She fell unconscious and was near...

    [4e Forgotten Realms] Netheril

    What has anyone done with Netheril in their FR games? They are shaping up to be the big baddie in my (first) FR campaign. We started our first 4e campaign using the 4e Campaign Guide, setting the game in Loudwater. A vision of Lady Saharel has sent the PCs (now 4th level) to Spellgard (and the...

    Encounters for 2nd level characters

    Hopefully this doesn't get lost in the post Gen-Con/D&D4e excitement.... Anyway, tonight I'm running my current 3.5 campaign for my players. The party is 2nd level. The set-up: a gang leader will ask the PCs to put the kabash on a rival gang's drug business. The drug is the Dragon Lotus, and...

    Stat Blocks

    So, I'm going to be running a D&D game soon, and are writing up some encounters. I'm trying to get my stat blocks down to the bare minimum, with also being user-friendly to help run the encounters smoothly. For example, in my stat block, I'm using little boxes to represent hit points, so I can...

    [Eberron] Make My McGuffin

    I've running an Eberron game tomorrow, and it's almost all set except for one crucial piece: what exactly does my mcguffin do? Heres's the skinny: a gnome wizard (working for the Esoteric Order of Aureon) recovered an artifact that is a missing piece for an eldritch machine ~ now the bad guys...

    Stirge Grappling Question

    I just need a couple different viewpoints on a grappling question I got. We played the World Largest Dungeon this weekend, and one PC had a stirge attached to him, sucking his blood. As I understand it, by the rules, an attached stirge has effectively "grappled" the PC. I had another PC decide...

    Prestige Class -- Multi-classing?

    This might be a dumb question, but do you treat Prestige Classes like traditional multi-classing with the traditional experience penalties? I can't seem to find an answer in the DMG. The specific case is: I've got an 8th level half-orc fighter who wants to jump to the prestige class Fist of...

    Underwater Combat?

    Try as I might, I couldn't find underwater combat rules in the core rulebooks. Are there underwater combat rules for DnD 3e? Here was the situation: everyone had a breath water potion. Everyone decided to move along the bottom of a underwater temple (about 10 feet underwater), and were attacked...

    Player abusing the rules? [long]

    Ok-- In D&D3e, under what circumstances would a 7th level Ranger get to have 3 attacks without penalty? Ever? Here's my situation: I've been playing with the same group about 5 years now, through games like GURPS and Cthulhu. For years I've been trying to fit my style on this group with poor...
