    Making untrained checks in trained only skills

    I'm trying to put together a list of things that would allow a character to make skill checks with trained only skills in which she doesn't have any ranks. I'm aware of: Jack of All Trades (Complete Adventurer feat) Third Eye Improvisation (Magic Item Compendium) What other options are out...

    Diplomacy and Aid Another

    I've got two "face" characters in my party with Diplomacy modifiers around +20, and those modifiers will continue to grow. The aid another mechanic doesn't really seem to give them full credit for resources they've put into these skills. Is there a mechanic out there, perhaps a skill trick or...

    D&D 4E Other 4e Intro Adventures?

    Keep on the Shadowfell aside, are there any other 1st level 4e adventures (from any publisher) coming out in the next couple months? My group would like to try out 4e once it lands on our doorsteps, but no one is really eager to drop $35 on Keep on the Shadowfell. Morrow

    Game Shops Near Disneyland?

    I'm going on a business trip to Anaheim, CA. Are there any gaming shops that I should check out while I'm in the area? Morrow

    Trap an Egyptian-Style Pyramid

    I'm running a swashbuckling game set in and around Freeport. The party is made up of five 15th level characters. They are currently traveling to a distant land that has a fantasy Egypt flavor. They will likely end up exploring a pyramid temple/ tomb. I'm trying to come up with some traps...

    I Need Dark*Matter Adventures!

    The title says it all. In a moment of insanity I offered to run a d20 Modern Dark*Matter campaign for my gaming group. Only later did I ask myself when I was going to have time for such an undertaking. I need to buy myself some breathing room by using other people's hard work. My typical...

    Building a Better Shugenja

    I'm putting together an Oriental Adventures style one-(or two) shot using pregenerated characters. I'm considering making the shugenja one of the pregens. This is my first time really looking at this class (the Complete Divine version) and I'm having trouble. So their elemental focus gives...

    Scooby Doo d20?

    One of my players was remembering fondly playing a Scoody Doo d20 game. Is anyone aware of something like that? The closest I can remember is the Hijinks mini-game. Morrow

    Building an Aranea NPC

    I'm putting together an aranea NPC and am wondering if there are any full caster prestige classes that an aranea can qualify for without dipping into sorcerer first? I kind of doubt it, an aranea only has 3HD and casts as a 3rd level sorcerer, but I figured I'd ask. In addition, does anyone...

    Use that Magic Device!

    There are two PCs in the game I DM that have ranks in Use Magic Device. They just don't get much use out of it. Between PCs and cohorts, the party already has a sorcerer, wizard, cleric, and bard. Except for the occasional item with a druid only spell, wands and scrolls tend to go to the...

    Magic Item Request - Build me a cutlass

    I've got a Bard/ Freeport Pirate in the game I DM who has suffered through 11 levels of advancement during which time I have cruely refused to provide him with any opportunity to acquire a decent weapon. That time has passed. Help a poor DM out and design a cutlass that will blow his socks...

    Whirlwind Attack and Great Cleave

    I know I've read up on how these two feats interact. It never mattered to me before, but now the fighter in the game I DM has both. Can someone give me the quick and dirty on this combination? Thanks. Morrow

    Spells with that creepy Alienist Flavor

    I'm playing a Conjurer 6/ Alienist 2 in Paizo's Age of Worms adventure path. My DM has challenged me to find weird Alienist-appropriate spells in WotC sources (outside of the PHB). I'm having some trouble finding spells that are both thematically appropriate and useful enough to actually use...

    Stormwrack deck plans

    Has one of you clever souls expanded the ship deck plans from Stromwrack into 5' to the inch maps? I'm particularly interested in the brig (from the sample adventure in the back) and cavel. I'm getting tired of drawing them out on the battlemat every game, and I figure there's no sense...

    Mutants and Masterminds - Move up to 2nd edition?

    So I purchased Mutants and Masterminds days - no, mere hours - before the 2nd edition was announced. Needless to say I'm harboring some resentment toward the gaming gods. Anyway, it looks like I may finally have the opportunity to run a M&M game. Understanding that I'm only using the core...

    Mummy Rot Incubation Period?

    Is the incubation period for Mummy Rot 1 minute (as it says in the Monster Manual) or 1 day (as it says in the DMG)? I can't find anything in the Errata. Thanks. Morrow

    Undead Leadership

    One of my PCs, an undead lovin' cleric, recently took the Undead Leadership feat from Libris Mortis. Now I seem to remember reading somewhere that the undead cohorts gained by this feat aren't affected by the standard leadership score modifiers. A ghoul follower doesn't really care if you've...
