Tender and well-done, and it has that sulphuric afterbite to give it that extra flavor. A real treat after months of only canned paladin. - Graschyronn "The Red Wyrm"-

Given that a barbarian would certainly object to being sentenced to death by anyone, and given that being 20th level means that he can probably make the objection stick, I'd say the answer lies in using extreme force. Now, if you can make the barbarian be helpless ( a nice highpowered Hold...

A patch of treants A pond of skum A battery of shocker lizards A wrapping of mummies A munchkin of Tarassque black guards

Do you have time to hide what everyone is after somewhere they can't get to it? Maybe in a hidden citadel on the negative energy plane or something, and ask a befriended diety to guard it for a while?

Be careful what you put your mindflayers against. Most of their powers are mindaffecting, and those are powerfull. Expect them to go through enemies with an CR of 4+ over their level, but with low willsaves, with ease. Creatures immune to mindaffecting will be very tough. An undead a few levels...

Players don't deserve a players-day. A DM deserves an appreciation day, because a DM spends time outside of gaming night thinking up the adventures, working out the encounters, writing up the traps, etc. Now if we need any other appreciation-days, it would be for those other people that make a...

One more vote for Black Flames. It's even worse because this is a beginning level adventure. Our DM started our Darksun campaign with it. And *bang* first adventure starts with not one, but TWO of the settings most rare and powerfull creatures. We only survived because our DM got the rules of...

"Ulrich" The name of one of the pc's in an all-paladin/cleric campaign I ran. His player complained (over and over) about the fact that Ulrich only had 40 hp's at level 5, which put his equal with one of the clerics, and below everone else. An Ulrich has become synominous with 40 hp's. Used in...

You mean like....gratefull to be skeletons? In the categorie "what were they thinking", I have a DM who faced us with dinosaur size cats, modeled after his pets. We fitted them out with balistas and other weaponry and used them as walking fortresses.

NPC: Sometimes members of the mysterious organisation known as NPC can be found in the dungeon. This organisation consists of two curious branches. First there is the "redshirt" or "burden" branch. This branch consists of members who are obviously far less powerfull than an adventurer, but...

And a document with the guidelines as written would be refered to as GAWD?

The problem isn't the tarrasque, it's soundly asleep and with the proper protections could be asleep for a long time. The problem is a monarch that shouldn't be. Using rampaging monsters to play games, with innocents trampled in the process, is not something a true monarch should do. If he...

Sounds to me like the player just wants to tag along with the party, slay stuff and get treasure. And if he has fun like that, and it doesn't anyone else's fun, there really is no problem. Changing his abilities without asking him about this first can have a bad effect. The player probably...

11 sides on a d4? I'm going to ask my DM is I can roll for my Magic Missiles in 4-D :p

Buried with my dice? I would rather my dice be used by my fellow players. So I could HAUNT them! Rolling the d20 on it's one with my ethereal touch when a save is due, roll it to a 20 to crit one of the (new) dm's favorite npc. And who would dare to get rid of dice they kept as a memorial of my...
