This gets to more what I was having a problem with. CR1 monsters have a lower AC and attack bonus, so I feel like though their numbers say they're an appropriate challenge, they are actually easier. The way I see it they have a low ac so their easy to hit, low hp so they'll die quickly, and a...

I'm running a 4th level campaign that my group hasn't played in about 6 months, so it's been a while since I have DMed. I am trying to give a nice variety of challenges, some easy, some challenging, but my problem is what's a good challenge for a party at 4th level. I read that doubles of the...

Has anyone ever had a chance where either they or their players (if you're a DM) got to exchange in any movie-like dialogue with the main antagonist? I find that as a player and DM once the figure makes themselves known as hostile or even the main antagonist then the players don't actually talk...

So I am looking to DM a session for my friends, we would probably play for about 8-9 hrs starting at 2nd or 3rd level. Just wondering what peoples favorite one-sitting sessions are, and what I should add to this experience for my players. Or if you don't have a favorite one shot adventure, what...

Maybe have a someone swear a vendetta on him, never actually do anything but maybe have someone begin to get the changeling's sent, so to speak. Kind of like in television shows when the protagonist begin to get clues on the antagonist. And Have this npc sort of hunt the changeling and as he...

Maybe societal things like business or bureaucracy? Maybe also look to the Catholic saints for inspiration? I am not well versed in anthropology but maybe look at the setting differences between greek and the 1600s style of life.

So I am constantly making new campaigns, as my group of players is constantly changing. My goal is to make a solid campaign that kind of has a flair of everything because every time I run something my players always have a new goal or want a new experience from that. It's hard for me to find a...

I am looking for a 3.5 version of Mask of the Red Death from Ravenloft, or anything else from Raven Loft is anyone has them that would be GREATLY appreciated, thank you so much!

I have DMed a bit in the past, but I definitely have a lot to learn. I was thinking on starting a low magic campaign and include more technology, gunpowder based. Nothing too crazy but I was wondering what the general setting would include? I have never played with gun power in a game, nor what...

With the great holiday coming up I wanted to have a nice Halloween themed campaign, grabbing elements of the classics. I was hoping to have a Vampire, Frankenstein's Monster, Wolfman, Zombie horde, Aliens, maybe even a giant brain in a jar. My goal is to capture a survivalist feel to it. Hoping...

One of my players wants to make a vampire character, or at least have his character get bit by one. I have no problem except that the vampire stuff in the monster manual is crazy and way too over powered for my game and the level. I would like a simpler vampire, not so powered. I would like to...

Oh, you both make very good points, that was poor DMing on my part. It was 2 am, the end of a long battle and I didn't look up the abilities for the familiar, I thought that "deliver touch spells" was simply "deliver spells", a huge difference, thanks for pointing that out!

This is my story of my Eberron campaign, where through a rather interesting chain of events the party ends up in what should have been a TPK, down right slaughter. However, they didn't die and instead killed everything, just thought I'd share. So, I am currently running the "Shadow of the Last...

Thanks everyone! I figured since that this was a huge campaign setting with a really deep plot and setting, I am having all my players write their backgrounds more specific to the campaign, Hoping that his gets them more into role play more but also familiarizes them not only their land but an...

I have DMed a few campaigns for my friends and I'm starting an Eberron 3.5 edition campaign at level one with 3 or 4 players. I have never done anything associated with Eberron and I'm new to the campaign settings and whatever differences it has from setting-less based 3.5. I was wondering what...

I am a relatively new DM and I dm for a group of 7-10 players that just made it to level 5. It's been really tough for me to come up with adventures that appropriately threaten the group. The group just finished an adventure with a cr 6 boss when they were at level 4. I thought that the cr was...

This gives me an amazing idea (though it may be stupid once I post it). Could a potion of whatever be used and activated as above? Could it be done with other spells? Such as a potion of Color Spray?

My friends haven't played D&D 3.5 (or any D&D for that matter) and I am DMing a little campaign to the 5th level. I am running a variation of the Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde. It's the same world and towns and backstory. This is my first time DMing, ;) however I have played up to the 8th...

yeah thanks well im not taking his info for a grain of salt i was just a little worried and i will have to look into that, i was just looking to see what people knew.

okay i was all into this 4e thing then i took a brake and returned to my 3.5e, but then my friend told me that i was TOTALLY based around the miniatures and what not and that i should just stick to 3.5e. so i have to ask what are the major diferences with the core books and how its played?
