Hi there, We always have problems with this. When shooting there is always cover! Especially when your a wizard shooting rays. What happens if you miss because of the cover? We played it so you hit the cover if you miss within 4 ac of what you needed. We shoot each other in the back so much...

Ohhh, just some party dismemberment. Happens every day. Me thinks its one of those justice league boys. Somehow monsters always go for the lawful ones. Maybe the they just taste better? Hopping for so gruesome descriptions of the dismemberment (and remembering how easy my own trolls once ripped...

Haha, you mean pc death of course... Wait, what did you say? That can't be right... :eek: Really? No one got away? Some lazy trolls just ended it all? Kardashia will end up in flames and anarchy. There must have been survivors. Someone must be able to to resurrect someone. Didn't the baroness...

Great read again JD! Are you losing a player? I like Leaf's role as keeping an eye on the peoples sentiment. Hope you don't lose him as a NPC as well. He could always be brought back as the leader of the underground resistance to the dictatorship of Mox. Or maybe something a bit more subtle...

Grapple is always a pain if your not prepared. Good on him that there wasn't a rogue around to give a full sneak attack cause that always ends up bad for grapplers. With my barbarians I always take close quarter fighting to avoid those things but disarming and then grappling... good on him! We...

Did you play Pathfinder or traditional 3.5? It is good to see a strait monk coming in 2nd! Was this by good play, the others ignoring the monk or just the awesome power of a furry of blows? Can't wait for another update of Kingmaker. It is inspiring me to steer my guys to start ruling the...

I want to echo the sentiment of Abciximab! Having followed your exploits for so long we want to see you in action. What can that table do? come to think about it I think a youtube snapshot of your game in action would also be awesome. No pressure though, If your not keen on that kind of exposure...

Sounds like a lot of death or near death to me! Is Jolly upping the challenges again or is it just pathfinder disrespecting player rights to a fair fight again? Crossing my fingers for some continuity in character development... Zanticor

Hurray for Jolly! Thanks for starting up again. I'm interested in the builds. My group is still firmly in 3.5 territory so I'm very interested in what Pathfinder does with characters in practice. Only strait PHB classes? Or is the lure of the PRC still to strong? Keep it coming! Zanticor

From the first browsing of the playerhandbook on my party decided this was a spell that would not be used. Its kind of a deal you have with your DM: If you don't use it on me, I'll not screw you with it. Same applies to Mordenkainen's Disjunction and spells like slime wave. You just don't do...

Hope I'm not to late for this but you just have to look at this: Specialist Wizard Variants Specialist Wizard Variants :: d20srd.org Get Hide as a class skill and at level 5 ad your int to your hide check (+dex of course). Hiding better then the thief! Zanticor Edit: say you wanted a...

He there JollyDoc, Your council of thieves preview fell of the boards and now I can't find it anymore. Could you repost it please? I'm looking forward to it because your stories have been a constant companion and inspiration for my own campaigns. Hopefully you are all having a blast with the...

I'm running a campaign with a halfling paladin/outrider, which works surprisingly well. Seated on a medium dog mount you can go everywhere. Charging in with a dog that trips makes your dm cry. I'm questing for the cause of good culinary tradition and with some skill points in cooking, the smell...

You just have to get hold of the Night Below boxed set. It's AD&D so it needs some converting, but the theme is of all times. First above ground events start spinning out of control. Then it might seem the kua-toa are to blame, but of course there is something deeper and darker orchestrating all...

While not exactly friendly fire, I colour sprayed my parties assassin on multiple occasions. There was no way he could ever make the save but the same was true for the opponents so tactically it was quite sound. Last time my wizard got dominated he decided it was payback time so he argued it was...

What do you guys think of Phantasmal Assailants? Sure it's two saves but 8 damage to both dex and wis? That drops a lot of creatures. And because it's damage it even stacks so you can cast two (or twin it). For a specialised illusionist that can be a poor man's Phantasmal Killer. Zanticor

Taking the risk of being scolded I would suggest that you are all looking at it from a weird perspective. D&D is not about fair challenges. Facing a Balor is about an iconic end fight. So lets make it cinametic. If you are looking for how far you can go without being an unfair dm you seem to...

I used to be really hard on magic stuff. As in there are no stores that sell magic items and no one is interested in buying your expensive gear. Magic items are things you find in dungeons and gold is something to but in your bank account (with a tax deduction) for latter use in buying a keep. I...

Don't talk about that hideous thing! My thief was lost on some god forsaken hell and had the thing in his backpack. How much worse can thing get when your in hell you might ask? A lot! I can tell you. Now he lost both his soul and his body. Now his soul is used in limbo to power war machines and...

After meeting a purple worm my players were so disgusted with attack of opportunity grabs that we just eliminated them. I houseruled you just can't sunder, trip or grapple with your attacks of opportunity. Still grab remains the best way to kill a mage but it is no longer a free action in my...
