    NC Game Day XIII (April 21-22): aka "Mini-GenCon"

    When will Gameday XIV be? XIII will be right after a regatta and prom packed weekend. and I'll be damned if I go off to college without playing in at least another game day!

    Paladin Mount Question

    I toyed with this idea a while ago in one of my campaigns. One idea was to grant the ability to gain the half-celestial template for some odd rounds a day. The one we went with was granting an intelligent item that upgraded along the lines of where the mount did. It balanced pretty well at...

    Eagles and Weapons

    In my friend's campaign, my character (a druid) was killed and reincarnated as an eagle. He usually wildshaped into one, so it was a fitting transformation, but this has brought up the question of exactly what he can do. The DM has already ruled that because I have the natural spell feat I can...

    How to play a druid?

    Oh yeah, my DM discarded the "druids aren't allowed to use metal items" rule as he thought it was ridiculous. Seeing how it's the desert and very hot, however, I'm gonna stay with light armors just for realism's sake.

    How to play a druid?

    Alright guys, we had our first session yesterday with 4/5 people showing up. We (for once) didn't do point buy and instead rolled our stats in order (4d6 giving up the lowest, first is str, second is dex, etc.), and then replaced one with a 16. Luckily enough I ended up with (including the...

    How to play a druid?

    Hello Enworld. After putting down the D&D mantle for the rigors of junior year my friends and I have decided to start a campaign to take up some of our time over the summer. It's set in a desert with no clerics or paladins and I've decided to play a druid. The problem is I've never played a...

    So, druids are powerful, eh?

    heh, I'll have to remember that and play an awakened mouse in the next campaign. Make him a wizard or sorcerer and just ride on the shoulder of...well, a cohort devoted defender, then just fireball away. EDIT: what kind of familiar would a mouse have? A flea familiar? Imagine touch attacking...

    Help me help my player build his fighter.

    Alas, I don't have complete adventurer. Inconsequenti-AL, trading out those skills does seem to be a simple way to do things. Another thing I failed to mention...he's trying to build it to help accomodate the other two members of the party (a wizard and a cleric, both level 9). Perhaps a...

    Cavalier "Special Mount"

    The rules say it stacks with paladin levels, so if you have no paladin levels, no go. Then again, giving him a cool mount wouldn't strike me as wrong, but that'd be a house rule.

    Help me help my player build his fighter.

    My friend is making a new character for the campaign I'm currently running, but as I generally play rogues and spellcasters in other campaigns, I have very little experience building sword and board fighters, which is the kind he wants to build. To give some specifics: The character level is...

    Magical Arrows

    I think you've ogt it a bit off. When you attach a magical property to an arrow, ie an enhancement bonus (+1, +2, flaming, shocking burst, bane, blah blah blah) you buy it in a quiver of 50. when you make a magic item, you make ONE item.

    My World's Halflings: Please Comment!

    I love it, they're like gnomes in my campaign.

    Help me make these items.

    well, you don't need to make an ever burning torch permanent, as it is already. Just cast continual flame in the fireplace, perhaps a couple, and there you have it. For the window, I'd say put up a mirror, and make a permanent scry (realistically you can't make it permanent, but for such a...

    How to price this?

    I'd say go with 1000, perhaps even allow him to fire as many as his BAB would allow. All it does is basically not make him pay for ammunition, and let's face it, ammunition (unless you run a lot of "running out of supplies" adventures) doesn't cost almost anything at all. Since the dartshooter...

    Anybody tired of god-o-centric d&d worlds

    I wanted gods to have less of an impact on the world, so I created a bunch of different religions within the campaign world. One of the continents is filled with various city states that each worship one deity (from the PHB, sorry guys, I didn't take the time to make up my own), but the...

    do you allow flaws?

    I don't really see a problem with flaws. I'm sure there are some annoying builds that could be thoguht up with them, but for the purpose of keeping it interesting, if a character wanted a flaw I'd give it to them, but so far no one has requested anything like that, so currently I guess I go...

    Shield Guardian Cohort - How do I make it CR 17?

    that's the thing I never understood about ECL...isn't the level of a character their challenge rating, and therefore getting a cohort at level 17 would be CR 17 cohort. How is this equal to the shield guardian who is only CR 8.

    3rd Level Paladin

    Giving yourself 14 Dex makes it annoying to get a fullplate, as you are basically negating 2 points of dexterity, so I'd aim for a mithril breastplate later in life, but at the current point go with the other suggestions and get a lower armor class, perhaps with a +1 or mithril.

    Glamer-flavored illusions, generally and in combat

    Reading these posts has made me realize how little illusions are ever used in my games...anyways, It seems that whereas we're agreeing on a subjective line for "proof," and that the rats doing something "unnatural" will spark notice and probably a save, there's a slight disagreement on whether...

    Movement types

    Flight always has an ECL with it I believe, but if climbing or swimming is their main shtick it isn't overbalancing (check various aquatic races and those monkey people from Oriental Adventures). I'm not sure about burrowing speed, but I'd assume it'd be the same sort of thing..hmm...this makes...
