My friend mentioned that there was a prestige class that as a person gained levels in it, they became more devil or demon like. He said there were three "branches" or "paths" that the PC could take, one for winged fiends, another that specializes in claws and bite attacks, and a third (he...

Would you mind taking a screen shot or two so I (and whomever else) can see how you organized your catagories? I'm still learning how to use OneNote so I'm fumbling around in it for now.

Please critique my devil-related campaign. I have attached a word file (I will update and repost as I come up with new material) which has many ideas, some jumbled, about how I want to run it and what I want to happen over the course of the adventure. I would like advice on anything from NPC...

Sorry - What is IIRC? I don't recognize that.

But there are positive modifiers for being large when you’re grappling or intimidating a naked woman across the page from you....

I love Ravenloft because it is full of mystery but it can be hard to create custom adventures because the lands are so specific and small. I also run Forgotten Realms and I have much more freedom to place an entire city where I need it since it is not so detailed when you “zoom in” and look at...

If it is important, we play a different campaign or just hang out playing xbox or the like. Otherwise, I let the party hire NPCs if they are in town, or I adjust the encounters a bit.

I too use my laptop for NPC generation, quick house rule lookups, and sometimes I record our session - I like to write an adventure log afterwards. Index cards for taking care of initiative, and clear plastic pieces cut to the correct size and shape as the area of effects for spells. A special...

I never thought of that. Ogres tend to be grumpy when adventurers get to them - could you immagine what kind of mood if they didn't have nymph eye candy to look at between violent bashings. Do you think the nymph likes the ogre back? Maybe for his muscles?

Ha! That's sweet! Good story.

I am looking for a pre-made module or some ideas to create my own module where the ranger of my group is significantly in the spotlight. I’m hoping for something with lots of tracks to follow, animals to interact with, and orcs and giants (the ranger’s favored enemies) to fight. A few scenes...

I am going to have the giant heal up which takes a few days so the halfling village can suffer a bit more and get irritated at the PCs for the lack of promptness to a remedy. The PCs will probably go and harass the giants to “get a move on it” before fully healed though. When the giants do get...

My apologies – I didn’t realize that until a few hours after I got home last night. I found issue 110, and noticed you wrote one in 105. I grabbed it and read part of it but decided it wasn’t what I needed. Then I went to bed and before I took off to work, I grabbed 105, not 110 since 105 was...

The big question is what benefits the template gives the base creature. I doubt the benefits gained would be miniscule, otherwise why make a template in the first place. If they were however, I would bump it from 1/3 to 1/2. 99.99% of the time (IMO) the benefits gained would bump it to 1...

As a DM, I allow ghost sound and minor image to potentially distract people. This usually translates to a -2 to spot or listen checks. YMMV
