    Mechanical penalties for losing an arm?

    I really doubt there is any officiel stat statement for this. However logic thinking concludes me to something like this: -2 to hit (or something along these lines). This due to the fact that you might be using your whole body you do have less "options" to choose from and that would make it...

    What is the most overlooked rule in dnd?

    You actually can get into a full plate on your own. I believe the books state that you can don it hastily if you're alone. Which takes the same time (I believe 4 minutes) as donning it with help. However donning hastily gives the armor a -1 AC and +1 armor check penalty. So someone could don...

    Races favored class

    Isn't the forest gnome a favored class druid? I seem to remember it being that. But not quite sure either, fun race too at that.

    Class Mechanics: Which Race is best?

    In that light I'd have to say gnome? Gnomes get the same +2 con as dwarves. But dwarves get -2 cha and gnomes get -2 str. I'd say the str is less important to clerics than charisma especially in undead-heavy campaigns. Now you might argue dwarves get + vs spells and poison. But gnomes get the...

    Rule ponderings by me..

    Yeah with the summoning thing I don't think I'm quite convinced. It does say in the rules can't support it. But as an example it gives that aquatic beings can't be summoned on land. That is a whole different type of support than structural support. On the other hand I suppose summoning a land...

    Throwing sand in enemy's eyes? Effect?

    I wouldn't go with the dex loss and what not. Blinded covers that. And yes the first answer does sound about right. Ranged touch attack with 5 ft increments and a -4 cause you aim for the eyes. Also I'd put on another -4 because you're unproficient with the "weapon". I would then possibly give...

    Combat Vigor: loophole?

    I say let the wounded fighter hunt for bunnies and deers when it's dinner time! That'd be silly though this could even be brought down to the fighter carrying a jar of beetles and when he needs it he releases one and slams it flat with his club. Hurray healing for him. However finding a hard...

    Rule ponderings by me..

    Hey there lads! Just after todays playing session I stumbled upon a few ideas for the next session, however the more I thought about it the more I ran into "I don't know how that works exactly" situations. So if anyone could specify how the following situations work and where they roughly get...

    Back in the DMing saddle

    Yes more than 5-6 players is quite pushing it. It might work if you have absolutely no shouty attention-hungry endless-patience players and have a lot of patience and multi-tasking capability yourself. However I find 5-6 is about ideal. Furthermore The Sunless Citadel is a pretty nice adventure...

    So, you all meet in a bar and decide to start adventuring together...

    Why did they meet up. Well there's a host of reasons I can think up for sure. Basically they fall into three categories though. A. Dumb luck and sheer coincidence B. Known ties between the players C. Unknown ties between the players (but naturally known to DM) So by category I can think of the...
