Thank you all for the advice! I ran the first two encounters of the module last night with my group, and it was pretty eye opening. I was having trouble accessing the forums here, so I hadn't read any of these tips before running it. The party consists of a Half-elf Warlord, Eladrin Avenger...

I guess I should be less lazy in searching for it :) I know that the modules will be kind of meh but this is more of a 'learn the rules' time for us, so I can deal with it. I'm using pre-written only since my wife is expecting our second child in two months, so in order to keep some sort of...

My group is finally taking the plunge and we are starting with Keep on the Shadowfell this Friday. Assuming all is well, we will run the whole series up to 30th. There has been some resistance to this in the group, although we did try a vary simple two-encounter module a few months back to get...

Ah damn... That's a killer... There are some interesting options here, so I'll approach my DM for some idea about the leeway he'll allow me. The DM is aware of our lack of trapmonkey ability and is giving us a campaign where it won't be a huge detriment, so I don't think I need to head in...

Barred schools are Illusion and Necromancy. Ability scores are: STR 10/CON 10/DEX 14/INT 16/WIS 12/ CHR 10 When in hybrid form that will be: STR 12/CON 14/DEX 18/INT 16/WIS 12/ CHR 10 I was planning a more traditional caster, so I have Spellcasting Prodigy, Spell Focus: Transmutation and...

Oops, just found it in PH2. Thanks, looks helpful!

I think the DM is taking mercy on me by not counting the racial HD against my ECL. I doubt the same would have happened for a non-primary caster, but he realizes the limitations that this character is now facing. So, at L6 I can take another Transmuter level. What book is 'twilight' from? I...

Interesting plot twist in my game last week. My L3 Transmuter was afflicted with Lycanthropy by a Werewolf, and I am considering keeping the curse and playing it out since the afflicted form is 'hybrid'. The DM didn't plan this, but the way our party organized and dealt with this threat, my...

Perfect! Thanks Meloncov!

Okay, given that the character in question will be playing in a group where powergaming is not a problem, has anyone compiled a list of the real 'bargain' spells for an Archivist to take at each level? Things like taking a Druid's Flame Strike at 4th level as opposed to the Cleric's 5th level...

Thanks for all the advice folks. Erik and I had a similar idea in mind (an attempt to kill the party, tied back to Dourstone), but I was concerned about what happens after. Peni Griffin is dead-on right. The party is going to have to figure that out for themselves.

*** SPOILERS FOR AGE OF WORMS WITHIN*** Looking for advice here. It's early in my AoW campaign, Whispering Cairn has just finished, and the party is moving into Three Faces of Evil. Allustan has already asked the party to investigate the temple in Dourstone Mine, but they have also been...

Okay, thanks for that. I'll have to look over at the Paizo stuff.

I've finally decided to bite the bullet and run Age of Worms for my group. I've read through all the materials and I think I've got a good idea of what to expect. My players are mostly tactically-minded battle-loving types so there should be no issue with the dungeon-crawlingness of the...

Checking in late, but I'm another 'Pegger. Have a group of six that play regularly, and might be interested.

Our newest campaign group (just hit Level 2) is unnamed, but they are an unusual group. No healing, limited magic and melee damage. They get owned by Kobolds... Gnome Warlock Gnome Swashbuckler Halfling Rogue Gnome True Namer Sun Elf Telepath Their first adventure was wildly amusing.

Yeah, I've made my call. No to Large unarmed damage for Goliaths. Yes to Belt. Yes to Ring. Yes to INA. No to Ring and INA stacking. Thanks for the debate everyone. On another note, someone mentioned earlier that Goliaths are large whenever it's beneficial, but that's not the case. They...

Yeah, I think 4d6 is certainly more reasonable, but even 3d6 smells a bit cheesy to me. Did I mention that he was trying to use two-weapon fighting unarmed (arguing that his left hand is an off-hand weapon specifically) with flurry to get 5 attacks a round? This player has been away for a few...

First of all, I'm the DM. I can over rule any of this, but I wanted to throw it out there. I have a player who submitted a Goliath Monk 8 for a campaign. His argument is that Goliaths can use large weapons without penalty and thus their unarmed damage should also be considered large. Add to...

Guess I can't reserve a spot, but expect me to submit a Cleric ASAP.
