The spell description says "The affected creature must have its hands free to climb in this manner." Horses don't have hands, but I'm thinking the writer decided "The affected creature must have it hands, feet, hooves or paws free..." was too clumsy.

My players are going through Red Hand of Doom. They've realized they are up against many flying creatures (dragons, manticores, wyverns, etc.) and are trying to create tactics to even the odds. Last game they constructed some harpoons, thethered them to unmovable objects with chains and used...

My group is about to do some adventuring near a subterranean waterfall. I'd like to create some sort of mold or fungus similiar to Brown Mold. Brown Mold sucks up heat, dealin g cold damage to those who get too close. I'd like my "Purple Mold" to suck up water, dehydrating those who get too...

We had a rule dispute come up during out last game. Can you use the spell Suggestion with the instruction "Kill your allies."?

My wife is playing her first DnD character ever, an elven fighter / beguiler. She just hit 3rd level in beguiler and gets to pick a new 1st level spell to add to her spell list with the class ability "Advanced Learning". The spell has to come from the illusion or enchantment school. We took a...

I just ran my group through most of "Forge of Fury". The upper levels are full of orcs, but a lower level contains some duergar blacksmiths. There's also several large natural caverns. I did a LOT of modding on this dungeon (my players ran into the Forge of Fury in another campaign, but didn't...

Does the stormlizard have two elbows on each foreleg? If so that's pretty wonky. The pic in the MMIV makes the stormlizard appear to have rhino like forelega, but the sculpt makes it look like he's got some rubber legs or somethin'. Hopefully its just the angle. Or the lighting. Or something...

A target of an overrun attempt can choose to simply avoid the overrun, moving out of the way with "no ill effect". Does that movement provoke an attack of opportunity from other enemies in the area? I'm not sure if "no ill effect" simply refers to the consequences of the overrun (being knocked...

Thans for all of the input everybody, this is very helpful.

I have a druid who is immune to "nature's lure", and a bard who needs to do some counter -songing. I'd like to have some sort of encounter with a fey who uses music to enchant the party, but I don't know WHY the fey would do that. What do fairies, pixies and satyr's want anyway? As far as I can...

I have a 4th level party. One of them is playing a bard, and I'm having a tough time finding decent magic items for her. She's the arcane spell caster of the group, and doesnt want to get involved in melee. I also have an archer ranger who will be snagging any ranged magic items. I'd like to...

My players are going to be heading through a massive underground cavern, large enough to hold cities within it. I've been looking for some pics to help convey the vastness of the space, but I haven't had much luck. Can anyone point me to some images that depict the epic scope of such a cavern?

I have a player (who always plays wizards) playing a cleric in my new campaign. He insists he's not min/maxing but most of his choices appear to be made solely for their tactical value ("cleric is just the best class", "I want to play a 'little person' who rides a dog and wileds a lance, but I'm...

My PCs are now serving as the king's personal bodyguard/troubleshooters. I figure they deserve some sort of monthly stipend. Any idea how much that should be? I've been trying to find something in the DMG/DMGII/PHB/PHBII but there's really no consistent economic model in the game (which is...

My players are going to attend a tournament. They are very excited to participate in the joust. I was thinking of doing something where each rider rolls to hit, and if successful rolls a grapple check. The higher grapple roll unseats the other. A couple things I don't like about this: 1) it...
