A friend and I came up with this idea while talking about Morn, a character from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, who stored a bunch of liquid money in one of his stomachs. I decided to write a real rule on it. Anyway, I hope you find it as amusing and cool as we do. Digestive Gland (Ex): Kobolds...

As a DM, I had a perused vampire spider climb onto a vaulted ceiling and when my player came in, I gave him a spot check verses the vampire’s hide check. When he failed, I dropped the vamp on him as a surprise round. My player disagreed with my decision because the room was well lit (true) and...

I was talking to Arravis, a primary member of our D&D group, about the idea of becoming a business for the intended purpose of getting gaming material cheap.

Tomorrow we are starting a Forgotten Realms game. I am going to be playing a prepubescent male elven acrobat/contortionist from a circus troop. He is approximately sixty six years old, which I believe is a reasonable age for a prepubescent elf. I was wondering if there was information out there...

I am going to be playing an acrobatic character in our upcoming Forgotten Realms game, and my DM, a regular poster here, told me to ask the boards for help formulating standard DCs for some actions. If you have a reference to this subject, please let me know. Here are some examples of acrobatic...

Hi everyone, We are starting a FR game, and I decided I wanted to play a CG pubescent male elven gypsy. I would like to know what skills and feats anyone thinks would be essential to a contortionist character. Also, to DMs, how would you DM this attack situation: I would like to attempt to...

Hi everyone, A friend of mine is recently married and has a baby. He's stuck at home a lot and sometimes is up at all hours of the night. He's been missing playing D&D. I was talking to him about it, and I said that maybe I could DM a solo game over email for him to play until he can come...

I'm DMing the Sunless Citadel Module for two friends of mine, one of which is a veterain DM. I've come to a point where I feel I want to deviate and start doing something different. I'm trying to decide if that is the best thing for me or not. I want to be a good DM in the long run. Should I...

Hi everyone, I have a really creative sharp player at my table, but she's very shy and quiet when it comes to things like talking to NPCs. I've seen her play a few characters now and it is a real trend. My group and I do a lot of RP, and I'm worried that she isn't getting as much out of the...
