    Converting the Age of Worms

    Thanks. I was considering doing a call-out for a 4E age of worms conversion, so the fact that I just so happened to stumble upon this was really rather convenient. My party and I just started the campaign arc starting at Keep on the Shadowfell, but I was hoping to find a 4E conversion of Age of...

    Trouble Keeping a Party Together

    My friends and I all love to get together and try to play an adventure of D&D. The trouble is, once we run through about half of an adventure, the steam runs out, and we stop playing the adventure. A few weeks later, we repeat the whole process. It is very, very frustrating.:rant: However, one...

    New Ethergaunts (Fiend Folio)

    I am thinking about having my characters face of against ethergaunts as the main opponents in the higher level in my campaign, but unfortunately the 3 kinds of ethergaunts just aren't enough to make them the main foe, and the highest CR is only 17, while I need a CR 20 ethergaunt (preferably)...

    New Skill Set

    In truth, this wasn't originally for D&D, and I only recently thought to convert it. As such, the rules aren't created yet. As above, I was going to work them out when I got there. I needed just the names first. I feel that having it as Con just didn't make sense. It could be for other...

    Vermin as Animals

    I still think that vermin (insects) and animals (well...animals) are different. I think that the real reason they're different is because the designers wanted to point out the differences instead of pointing out the similarities; as such, the vermin and animal types split. True. What I meant...

    Vermin as Animals

    Dire animals are not just larger: they tend to have red eyes, and always have bone-like plate on them. They are also a lot more violent, and have more muscle mass/size to match. Monstrous vermin, on the other hand, tend not to have these physical abnormalities. Your right...still, these...

    New Skill Set

    OK, so I got board and made up a new list of skills, but unfortunately I now think its really good! So I was wondering if someone could read through them and tell me which changes I should make. Balance* (Dex)--balancing in tough situations Bluff* (Cha)--telling lies Calligraphy (Wis)--your...

    Vermin as Animals

    You guys are focusing on what these characters are, not how they feel. A wasp can't really harm a person...maybe one hp. On the other hand, even a manta ray deals 1d4+1 (?) damage on a hit. Also, animals can't make up swarms, and while animals can become things like dire, only a spider can...

    Tomb of Horrors, Alignment Change and Gender Bending....*sigh*

    My (slightly rude) solution is simple: don't be a dick! (I really hope your the DM, cause this is designed for the DM to fix it.) On the other hand, pretend to be using the RAW. Give the players a chance to stop the dungeon regen (a magic orb, etc) that they can get by fighting a few more...

    Major encounter help

    You've really got 4 options before you: 1. Kill the game: Obviously a bad idea! It doesn't do anything to fix the problem, and completely ends any possible that the "idiot" will simply leave the game himself. 2. Do nothing (what I did the first time it came up, a decision I will never let...

    Removing Racial HD

    I disagree. You see, the character dealt massive damage on a crit at 6th level, is next to impossible to hit, and has DR 5/(something...) and energy resistance 5 to a whole bunch of things. On the other hand, I encourage power gaming, JUST AS LONG AS it goes hand-in-hand with roleplaying...

    Apprentice advancement?

    Are you a player or DM? For a player, you can get a wizard apprentice through the leadership feat, simply making your companion another wizard. As a DM, I would definitely recomend that the NPC stay as far away as possible when the players are adventuring. Adding in a free NPC can be a real...

    Character Help: From Idea to Class

    OK, so I got this great idea for a character. He is a butler/servant of a lord or otherwise influential character in the party, and has sworn his loyalty to this other party member. He dresses as a butler even in combat, but hides two large swords (thinking great-sword and bastard sword, monkey...

    Removing Racial HD

    Curiously, the same player has made a half-dragon half-orc who has taken a lot of aberrational feats. He explains himself as being half-dragon, quarter-orc, eighth-human, and eighth-aberration. For some reason, he either plays a bard or a fighter who has at least 2 different races mixed in. In...

    Jump Checks of 50 ft?

    I was wondering, "Why in the name of every god in all of the books can a character with a measly +10 bonus jump from 10 ft to 30 ft!?" Clearly, I'm missing something...
