Hello Everyone, Next month, I will be running a game for my group where everyone will play a mage, each one of a different school of magic. I wanted to add some flavor to the game by naming each level appropriate to the school (up until lvl 15). I figure the first five levels would...

Oooooo, that's a good suggestion. There are five level-6 PCs. For a little more background, a mage is causing these murders from behind the scenes (ala Wizard of Oz) and is going to serve as the "final fight". Up until that point, I'm looking more for battle setups more than anything else...

My group is currently in a small village where a series of grisly murders have taken place (as well as few that have yet to occur). I have nearly everything else planned for the session excpet one of the most important parts: THE MURDERS! Two murders are going to occur, and I was hoping to...

How exactly would someone get spellplague (and what are the consequences)? I've read on what the event itself is, but I can't find any documentation on the effects/powers you're referring to. Is it 4ED specific? Thanks!

Very nice work! A drawing of our current campaign group might be the perfect Christmas gift this year - hopefully you decide to keep commissioning until then! On that note, how much time do you require for your different works?

Yeah, I'm guessing this will be a freebie. :D

Next month, my group is planning a 3-day marathon session, a rare, rare treat for a bunch of guys who are lucky to game once a month. Given the time between sessions, I will normally start each game with a 5-question recap of the previous gathering. I know some people don't like the "quiz"...

Some quick questions about this spell: 1. Can you cast spells while occupying a host? 2. While the host is imprisoned in the "jar", are they conscious? Are they aware of their surroundings? 3. While possessing a body, is it essentially like remote controlling it? If so, can you do something...

I've read the first 6 pages of this thread and loved it. Duty calls and I can't get around to the remaining pages, but I have to ask: Was it ever found out if the OP was serious, or playing a joke on everyone?

This is an easy question that I cannot pin down the answer for (no pun intended.........okay, pun intended). If a monster successfully grapples an opponent and does damage, the PC is allowed to try and break the grapple on his next turn. If he fails, does the monster (on his next turn) need to...

Not sure if anyone here listens to them, but they were a huge influence for me, in many areas of my life. You will be sorely missed.... RIP. Peter Steele, Type O Negative Singer, Has Died - CBS News

Thanks for your replies, everyone! I can definitely appreciate the fact that this type of scenario may lend itself more to the cinematic and (for the scene) take the option out of the PC's hands. As to why they would be in this type of situation: it's not so much a frame job as an attempt by...

This is a good point and one that I have mulled over. I don't believe this particular group would mind, especially if the force that was driving them could be explained as extremely powerful. However, I honestly have not made up my mind on this aspect. The companion sheets look great...

I'm DM'ing a group a five level-6 PCs through a homebrew campaign and next session will be throwing in a little twist to spice things up. I'd really love to get some comments/suggestions as to how to run this as effectively as possible. Here is the abbreviated version: The group is...

Thanks for the replies! I've never been a big advocate of the multiclassing penalties, so it's a moot point, but this clarifies it!
