    How do you DM's deal with "Dogpile on the evil wizard" tactics?

    A 30' wide throne room, walls lined with guards wielding longspears. They should have combat reflexes and hold the line, and a +3 or higher dex modifier. bear in mind that with combat reflexes, they may make attacks of opportunity while flat footed, and may attack an opponent every time they...

    Drinking While Gaming? Warning -- mature content (I hope)

    I never really considered this before, but drinking hasn't occurred at any of the games I've run or been in. If it's a slow game night or special occasion we might all go out after the game, but usually would prefer to continue the game instead if we're going to be out that late. When I stumble...

    Game Bloopers and Quotes

    A halfling rogue a few sessions ago was spying on an enemy encampment. He spotted a goblin, also spying on said encampment. His player looks at me and says "In goblin I say shh!" (laying finger over lips). Chris

    What's your favorite 3.5 class?

    Cleric, usually multiclassed with fighter, ranger or barbarian. Barbarians would take a close second multiclassed with... well, almost anything except wizard. Chris

    In the Works - D&D Dice and the percentile dice

    You are not alone in this atitude. I give away, throw away, or destroy the 6 siders that come with a polyhedral set. I hate them! They are the spawn of evil. Pips on 6 sided dice represent all that is good and holy. I'm not sure why, that's just how I feel. Odd that I have no problem at all...

    Need game help -- my Players DO NOT READ

    How long after death did the party try to raise dead on him? Perhaps during the time period between death and raising someone else used a true ressurection on him. Someone might have been waiting for the Bard specifically, or a party member generally to die and used their chance to beat out the...

    Ability Score Generation

    32 point buy. Used to do 40 point buy, but it just made things too extreme. NPC's come in various flavors, from all 10's for a worthless mook right out of the MM, to 24 point buy for advanced mooks, to 28 points for more challenging NPC's, to 32 for the BBG's. for a real mover-shaker I may...

    How do YOU play a bard?

    No bard PC's in the game I'm running so far, but saturday night the party did manage to finally kill an NPC bard who had been driving them nuts. She was a half-dragon barb1/bard2 with a 6 int. There were only enough skill points for one perform skill, so perform: comedy it was. All through the...

    Weapon Illustration Sketches

    I'd say a metal head on the axe and a wooden handle. Details other than that I'm willing to leave in your more than capable hands. Bad Axe Ample (what else would you call a 350lb orc who wield axes exclusively?) and his forefathers have been fighting both Elves and Dwarves for generations, so I...

    Weapon Illustration Sketches

    Tetsubo, Over the past few days I've wandered through both this thread and your older thread of weapons illustrations and I must say I'm very impressed. This will be a wonderful resource to mine for magic or Masterwork weapons for my game. I'll throw you a request now. I've got a guy (well...

    Help with character background.

    My first thought would be his mentor in the dark arts of summoning. Someone not entirely evil, but not exactly good either. Could this mentor be redeemed? Or will he slide entirely into evil, possibly becoming a powerful undead?

    Half Dragon NPC ideas

    OK, so I'm running D&D 3.5 again, and I'm finally taking advantage of the half dragon template. The PC's (there are 7) are 6th level, part of a mercenary company, and have been running some scout missions for a couple of sessions. Magic Items are rare except for potions, scrolls and wands. A...

    Racial paragon - part of your PC plan?

    Actually, Hoog just started a campaign where Elves, Dwarves, and Gnomes rule the world with iron fists (no velvet gloves) and our PC's are members of the "slave" races... Humans, Halflings, Half Elves, Half Orcs, and any monstrous humanoids from the MM that have a +0 level adjustment. Since I've...
