A random thing I noticed: the goblin acted prior to the Ranger on the surprise round, and under 3.5 rules the Ranger would have been flatflooted. Yet, the Ranger was able to "immediately" counterattack (I assumed this was happening as an "immediate" action). So, this could mean: 1...

My advice? I would try talking to the wife about it. Let her know that gaming is important to you and that you've tried finding a group who'll play at your house on a weeknight, but have not been able to. See if she would be okay with you running a group every 3rd Saturday or something like...

Yeah, I tried the delve 3 times while I was out there. My first experience was as the cleric and went thusly: "You all open the door and see a sorceress before an alter with a jeweled sword in one hand. Roll Initiative. Okay, she wins initiative, sees the cleric sitting in the door and...

Thanks to those who've said nice things about my previous post with the list of ideas. I appreciate it. However, I definitely left something important out that a couple of other users have brought up since... feedback/collaboration from the user community. When it comes to the rules and...

Well, they asked us to tell them what we *wanted*, so I laid it out. I certainly don't expect all of that will come to pass, but I think a lot of that is possible to some scale down the line. Hey, at least I didn't ask to be able to play back combats as movies with realistically rendered 3D...

Di Here is what I'm looking for from the DI: Information Lookup I want to be able to search by subject (wiki-style) and get all relevant information for the subject. For example, if I search for ghoul, I want to see the following on the page: - stats for the ghoul - single illustration -...

No problem. Let's just keep the ability at 3/day as a swift action. I'm just looking to get a different ability because I have a bad habit of completing forgetting I actually have a familiar. :D I'll update the character sheet. -Scot

Yes, it's an alternate class ability you can choose that completely replaces the familiar for specialist wizards (each specialty has a different power). It never changes from the 10' 3/day teleport. Whoops. Double-checked it when I got home. The power works a number of times per day equal...

I have not played a PbP game before, but would be interested in trying it out. Here's the beginning of an 8th level Conjurer. I'll get the rest filled in as I can, including a background. ----Okay, I've finished the stats, let me know if they look okay. I'll work up a background soon. He...

Expedition to Castle Ravenloft is for levels 6-10. You could place some sort of item that they need to get to the Abyss in Barovia to lead them into the adventure. By the way, I'm starting a new campaign and was think of using the Shattered Gates to start with. How did the module work for you?

As a player, I've been through three of these. I enjoyed Legacy of the Savage Kings, I thought the Talons of the Horned King had some problems but could be all right, and absolutely hated The Volcano Caves. So, as some others have said, it's a mixed bag for me.

My thoughts exactly. The most likely scenario I see happening is this: "Okay, on the cleric's turn, he draws out a scroll and begins reading <roll die>. I rolled an 8, so he successfully casts his Circle of Death. I need the four front party members to all roll their DC 19 Fort saves. Two of...

Thanks for the help everyone. Interestingly enough, I've reviewed that area of the adventure again (my earlier posts were from work where I made a guess about the domain), and the NPC in question actually can *not* cast Circle of Death normally. However, casting the spell is clearly what the...

Sorry. Should have clarified, he has a non-standard domain with Circle of Death on the spell list. -Scot

Hey everyone. I am reading an adventure in preparation for running it and I came upon an encounter that struck me as... well... "mean". I thought I'd post about it and get some opinions. Now, I'll be leaving out a lot of surrounding details to avoid identifying the specific adventure, just in...

I think Sir Draconion has the basis of the solution here. If there is no "punishment" for putting the wrong blocks in the space, I would try all the combinations using 4, 1 and 6 of the different types of blocks. My guess for the correct solution would be 4 Shields, 1 Dragon and 6 Swords...

Excellent! Lots of good ideas. The DM has been good about letting characters rework their existing feats, so he might permit him to work in Rapid Shot or Deadeye Shot and then get an appropriate feat when he hits 9th. Beyond that, I'll have to check on Hide skill for possible sniping, and...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Don't worry, he knows he'll never be, and shouldn't be, as effective as the Dwarven Fighter/Barbarian in combat. This has just come up because of some recent battles where has been very *ineffective*. So, I wanted to find some ways to allow him contribute more...

Hey everyone. A fellow PC in my adventuring group is playing a Rogue with a focus on his archer abilities (Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot feats). The problem is that as our party moves into the 7th/8th level range, he's becoming less effective than the rest of us in combat. The fighters...

Each of them has had a piece of an amulet in their possession for as long as they can remember. None of them are sure about the origin of these pieces or their purpose and no one they have talked to has been able to help them either. The Paladin (a noble right?) one day decided to send...
