Thanks Nifft, you're a champ

Just thought I'd de-lurk to say I'm enjoying the contest! There's some really creative stuff been put forwards. It's certainly a good place to mine for ideas to put into my own game. Nifft - The above link appears to be broken. I'd like to read some of the entries from previous competitions...

I can do better! Order Date: May 9, 2008 Delivery estimate: July 2, 2008 - July 23, 2008 Shipping estimate: June 6, 2008 * 1 of: Dungeons and Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Set, 4th Edition [Box set] I live in Australia! It must be coming via the slow boat to china

Apply a rough rule of thumb If the total magic item treasure for a level given out is say 1,000gp and your players baulk at selling it at 20%, or 200gp, just adjust the total amount you give them Instead, give them 400gp worth and let them sell it at 50% for 200gp In the end, it's all smoke...

Although having downloaded most of the errata from WotC, I can’t find anything about the druid’s wild shape ability not changing their type from humanoid to animal. Would appreciate a link if you have one. Yeah, I think it knocks about party balance too. A 5th level druid being able to wild...

Thanks for the replies You've confirmed my own suspicions about changing type and enlarge person. Your answers also made me reconsider their argument that an ogre druid should be able wildshape into a large animal at 5th level – if you consider the reverse. Can a gnome druid only wildshape into...

An example to better explain the question - A 5th lvl meduim sized druid is enlarged by his trusty arcane magic weilding sidekick by the use of an enlarge person spell. He is now large and wildshapes into an animal. Can he - a) Wildshape only into a medium sized animal b) Wildshape into a...

Isn't a melee touch attack a moot point anyway - you're in a grapple! Although it isn't one of the options listed under the grapple section (and so it could be argued that it's not legal by the rules) I don't think it would be a terrible house rule.

Thanks for the quick replies! I think I'm going to go with Patryn's interpretation of the rules (thanks for pointing me in the direction of the FAQ BTW guys). I also agree that a grapple check is technically not a melee attack and so shouldn't suffer from the melee attack penalty of being...

Can you trip an opponent involved in a grapple? I can't seem to find anything in the PHB that addresses this. If you can, it would seem to leave the opponent you've tripped still in the grapple but prone (-4 to grapple checks and an additonal -4 to AC) I ask because the grapple puts the...

I've seen basic/cheap fishing tackle boxes used to great effect. The multiple compartments are especially handy for sorting different types of miniatures. A number of boxes can be used in this way, each with a theme (Goblins, Humans, Animals, Dragon's etc) depending on how many miniatues you...
