The Crusades were a defensive action against the Muslim invaders invading Europe at that time. If the European knights and royalty had not stopped the Muslims, history would be radically different. No, the Crusades were not organizaed well, but they served their purpose--stopping the Muslim...

Thanks, Geocorona. Edited appropriately. Those are Shriekers, they use heat vision. There are also Arse-Blasters, flying thinghies in T3.

My players will soon be rockin' it OLD SCHOOL style, yo! I'm definitely going to have my party face one of these soon, it'll be fun to hand over a note that says the aforementioned. :D

Yeah, and a nice big elephant gun, too! Yeah, put me down for Graboids.

Sweeeeeeeet. Oh, Hell YEAH!!! Thanks a billion, got my utility grade flamethrower fed and ready, sir! I might be up for Graboids from the Tremors movies (and soon to be TV series!). If I don't get my entry in soon, well I guess I'll have to suck it up.

Lemme see... Lets see... Vigila, the Watchful Sentinel, LG Canith, Man's Eternal Companion, NG

I like these ideas. My thoughts: show them that a lower-level party with less magic can beat them like a drum. Now...what are these great tactics that these adventurers will use? Now that this guy has a solution, he could use some help with the execution.

From my last session of D&D: "The Gnolls are looting the Yeth Hounds carcass. Barak (male dwarf fighter PC) and Sheva (NPC human female Cleric) are going into the cave. What do you do Jakob and Nary (male human wizard and male human bard PCs)?" Nary: I pull off one of it's feathers. DM...

*Sigh.* When Jesus Christ said "turn the other cheek" he was referring to matters of pride--i.e. not killing because of a single insult, etc. not being physically threatened with death or injury or ignoring a moral duty to stop same being visited on innocents. Most characters might still be...

Interesting opinions here, folks... Sounds like Bartertown. [See: Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome] And lo, an Irishman rules half the known world!

I'm just wondering, could you give some examples here? Simple Fix: Make the duration 1 minute per level.

Nice idea... I planned a campaign where the two characters were carnies left behind accidentally. They'd be hired by the city as "City Defenders" to handle special situations. A nearby magic-user would try out his experimental tattoos on them, that allow use of a 1st to 2nd level arcane or...

My suggestion: Start her off at a slightly lower level. 8th to 12th, maybe. OR Teach her something about D&D before she starts in with the "big boys." Teach her a "style of gaming" appropriate to your type of game--if you like RP, encourage her to RP, if you're a combat monster, hack...

Boy! It sure was different... "There can't be more than three Rangers in one group? Why the hell not?" "Why can't I have more treasure than I can carry as a Ranger?" "Whenever I hit 9th level, I get followers and can build a castle? I get followers even if I'm an Int 6 Cha 7 knuckledragging...
