    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    I used the flickering between two planes, the one for the archon, and the one with the merut, idea. The player was really excited about it, and the others were amused by it. The only kind of moment killing bit is that the player can pick the most awful moments to be a bit of a ditz, so his...

    Just to let you all know, this went incredibly well, daddy archon was picked over Merut, and cleric scored final kill flanking with him.

    D&D 3E/3.5 3e and 3.5 Dungeon Magazine

    I checked out NKG, and I had heard that the site was really good. They do have quite a few issues of the magazine, but they are a bit more than I'm willing to pay (for starting the collection) so I will likely use it to fill in gaps. At the moment I'm still very much considering T&T. The thing...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3e and 3.5 Dungeon Magazine

    I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this, but I'm new to posting things that don't fit exactly here so I wasn't sure where to put it. I'm interested in collecting the print copies of issue 82-150 but not exactly sure where to do it. I'm definitely a gamer on a budget, but...

    Questions with Age of Worms

    I am a player and DM, whichever need be at the time. But as a player, few things have peaked my interest more than the Age of Worms adventure path. I actually sent WotC an email suggesting they finally make the full adventure path a single volume (would be greatly appreciated if other would as...

    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    I effing love this idea! And will be deleting what I had thought prior the next time I open up my DM notes document. I'm virtually positive that this would let me wrap up that plot line, while still giving my player the choice in the matter, because if I start describing the archon to look like...

    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    I'll accept a ceasefire. I admit that anything with even the faintest odor of munchkining can make me act a bit hostile. But with both things being at that level of power (CR 14 and 15 for a character that's level 18) they are powerful enough to where a difference that tiny should only be...

    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    To answer some questions that I've seen pop up. 1) I picked Trumpet Archon, because originally the player himself had picked Trumpet Archon, and it appeared incredibly humanoid and makes sense enough to me that someone who has died could become one, especially a servant of a good deity. And...

    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    I'm 95% sure that one of my players, a neutral good cleric, intends to use the spell "Gate" in the climactic final battle of the last game of my campaign. He has talked about it quite a bit and it would seem he would do this so he can have a spell that brings in something fairly powerful, so he...

    Building worlds and campaign settings

    I have started working on my own personal world for the next campaign I run, which will likely be in 3-4 years. I'd like to have the world and campaign finished beforehand so I'm making sure I have plenty of time. One question I'm really anxious to have answered is this: if Wizards heard about...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Best 3.5 spellcasting prestige classes

    I plan to make quick stats for members of The Mosaic Committee in the eberron campaign setting, so I would like to know what some of the best classes would be for an organization dedicated to studying arcane arts. I want around a dozen members I know I want a lv 20 wizard, a Heirophant, and a...

    What information about my campaign should I give my players beforehand?

    As of now I have all of my house rules typed up, I have what races are allowed, what classes will not be allowed due to campaign flavor, general campaign flavor, skills that will be more or less useful than usual, the general views of magic use, and I have a small summary of any differences...

    Taking turn DMing for a group that just had a really good DM

    Also, my characters will be dead at negative CON, not negative ten. That helps some.

    Taking turn DMing for a group that just had a really good DM

    I think you misread me a bit at the end. I don't like to fudge dice rolls, and even if I did, my players can see my dice and I'd have to fudge the mod itself. So I don't intend to fudge. One thing I'm doing to minimize casualties but maximize threat is that more important battles will use the...
