Regeneration treats all but the specials (usually acid and fire) as nonlethal. This does not mean that cuts are not made. With a trolls regen you cut it and a wound opens blood spills it feels pain but the wound closes so quickly and the skin reknits it is as if the damage didn't really happen...

I guess you are susposed to hit them with the reincarnate spell BEFORE they actually die of the effects of old age. A death bed rebirth as it were.

I would grant a synergy bonus to the DC for the save or as a penelty to the save roll itself for 5+ ranks in diplomacy, Bluff, or other related Skills. And a bonus to save or sub from DC for NPC who has Skills that counteract. IE sense motive in the Sug example. Would go something like this. NPC...

Actually there is a minor mention in the DMG in the glossery (i think) discussing damage from falling objects of different weights. The example discusses a flying ship 100' up that drops a 400# statue (petrified companion). That is the only mention I have seen outside of non core books. I read...

Well actually farmers WOULD want zombies for the planting stage especially if bits of rotting flesh are falling all over the place. Think of the increased growth of the crops from that kind of fertilizer. Human flesh works just as well for growing things as any other flesh does. Now I would...

That sounds very interesting. And brings the Characters experience factor into the players POV. Theoretically a High level wizard is much more accurite and precice then a novice spellcaster fresh out of the academy. I may consider taking something like that into account in my future games as a...

I guess I'm old fassioned. I prefer good ole dice rolling for stats as opposed to point buy. I understand and respect the way point buy streamlines the whole process somewhat as you do not have to worry about fudged dice rolls and such. But hell some of my greatest fun is the rolling and...

Was not questioning the intellect of your players. Was pointing out that the Character viewpoint is something semi foreign to most Players. How many of us live and die by 6s decisions IRL? Thus some of us need a little longer than 6s to figure out our moves. Although an experienced gamer usually...

Will have to find my sources but I remember reading about lesser undead (Skeletons and Zombies) as being able to have control transfered to another person after creation and also continuing to follow their last given orders until new ones were given. (Will check this when my books and I are in...

Lets think about this from a fantasy realism standpoint. Think about all the training your typical wizard is susposed to have had. As well as his usually high intelligence. Min 13 for fireball use if I am not mistaken which while not genius level is still above average. Now take all this and try...

Personally I feel Characters should have pretty high stats. I am of the philosophy that characters are the elite members of their respective cultures (Heros) and thus should be some of the most genetically superior members of their races. In my games I EXPECT my players to have at least one 18...

Sounds like we have basically the same story. I'm in silver spring which is not too far from Alexandria. I am trying to find a group to either play with or DM. I have been DMing for around 23 yrs. I have been learning the 3.5 rules and have played in a couple games on and off using these and the...
