Hi folks, My players have just returned to Flint after their extended assault upon the bleak gate faciliity in Act 3 of Cauldron Born. They're a little mad at Asrabey for running out in the middle of the climactic battle, and really mad at Alexander Grappa for getting himself killed by Leone...

First of all, I'm really pleased with the adventure, and am looking forward to running the party through it in the next couple of sessions. Unfortunately, I've run into a roadblock with this encounter. Two minor things to start with- the encounter states there are 8 Implanters, but references...

I've been impressed by my groups good sense of when to fight and when to work with others, even in when dealing with people the law of the land disagrees with. After an action-packed night, my group's loyal constables are now calling in all the favours they've earned to try and take out Lorcan...

Due to relocating for work, this week is going to be my last week DMing for the group I've been in for 3 years now, so I decided to set up a great battle to end the campaign with. The PCs have been gathering power in preparation for the end of the world, and only the leader of the primordial...

In 4e, even low level characters are a something special- they're definitely a cut above the rest of the population. So, I thought I'd run with that conceit. The PCs in my upcoming (and all too imminent!) 4e game will be heroic from the get go, taking the role of Einheriar, to serve the Aesir...

I've been invited to join in on a friend's homebrew game, and I wanted to create an interesting character to join in on the action. The party's 9th level, and were made with 36 point buy (due to the difficulty of the game, apparently). The DM specifically asked me to make a character that would...

I'm in preparation for DMing a Forgotten Realms campaign. The PCs will be adventuring in the city of Murann (in Amn), which was "liberated" from the Ogre lords by a Far Realm tainted Helmite army. Strange things have been happening, and many of the monstrous and humanoid citizenry have since...

Hi all, I wanted to ask the community for a bit of advice. Over the weekend I had the opportunity to visit some gaming friends I haven't seen for a while. I was asked to join in as one of the party's tag-along NPCs, which I readily agreed to. It was the best option, since I was only going to be...

I've been muddle-headed all week, and it's really starting to get annoying! Just this morning I did my monthly session of putting the milk in the cupboard and the sugar and coffee in the refridgerator. Yesterday, I wasn't paying attention while getting things out of the fridge and put mango...

Coming to a network near you! :D A few of my friends' gaming addiction has gotten so bad that they've asked me to run something for the group. I figured it would be a lot easier on everyone to have a casual style game, not too serious, and full of action... a lot like the swashbuckling...

To me, it seems to depend on if the counterspell still counts as the original "spell", or even as a spell at all. Also, can you ready an action against a counterspell? A friend of mine asked me about a hypothetical master and apprentice against a single enemy wizard. I said dispel magic should...

Have you ever given a game you left another chance? This is what I'm contemplating right now. I left a game last year mainly because of differences with the DM over the level of arbitrary decisions that he made at the time, and because of the large number of house rules he had in his game, with...

I want to allow archivists among the options for characters in Selan provided that they trained amongst the colonial culture, the Asturians. Archivists and clerics represent two arms of the same church, but with different traditions. In a campaign that lacks druids, sorcerers, and wizards is it...

1) Can a multiclassed ranger/bard who later becomes a sublime chord use Spell Trigger items (such as Staves and Wands) from the Bard, Ranger, and Sorcerer/Wizard list? 1a)Would this change if the character didn't have enough ranger levels to get ranger spell casting ability yet? 2) If the...

As a whole, I think the paladin class is a load of fun to play, and I've had a number of memorable characters that embrace the ideals of the current paladin. The idea of a divinely inspired knight class is pretty cool in my opinion, it's just... the Paladin as it stands is just one type of "Holy...

At 6th level, a Loremaster gets an interesting class ability... --- Greater Lore (Ex): At 6th level, a Loremaster gains the ability to understand magic items, as with the identify spell. --- It's an extraordinary ability, but duplicates a spell. I'm wondering if the ability exactly duplicates...

I'm considering playing a cloistered cleric in an upcoming game, and was wondering if Loremaster would be a good Prestige Class to aim for. I'm also considering taking some Divine Oracle levels also, and was wondering about synergy there. Would this fit in for a sage-like character in your...

It is! :D

Hi all, I'm in the middle of my design process for a crossover Prestige class that mixes elements of the Ninja class in Complete Adventurer and smootrk's Geisha Base Class found here. Here's Smootrk's basic description of what he wants: Seems straightforward enough, but I am having trouble...

It turns out my Mum had an ulterior motive in asking me about my favourite D&D characters and the type of games I like on the phone a month ago. :) I recieved Heroes of Battle in the mail on Friday last week. It's got some interesting ideas contained in it, and will be very useful for my...
