My question to you is: is this what your players want? If so, then go for it. Test the system by asking some of them to multiclass with this system, and find the bugs. If not, then don't impose it on them. Dave

Thanks. Nice art. Dave

This is how we've always played it. Dave

My guess is that it will look better up close and personal than the photo shows. Dave

My own experience is about the same as ruleslawyer's. I am running a campaign where there are several level 21 and level 22 characters, and the enemies go all the way up to CR 34 (got long-term ambitions). I have an uber-enemy (63rd level) and have had all kinds of fun trying to figure out how...

The PCs are all good-aligned, and the zombies are waiting to be returned to their living status. The zombies will, of course, be zombies; but, the PCs need to keep them from doing (too many) things they'd later be ashamed of. How will they prevent the zombies from causing evil, and still keep...

I'd like to help, but I think I need more info first. If you want to remove spontaneous healing, is it because healing isn't all that necessary in the campaign? Is it because you don't like the flavor? Is it because you feel it makes the cleric too powerful? Are there few undead in your...

I like what you've chosen to do with druids and rangers. This is an excellent idea for enhancing flavor in a campaign. Do you allow half-elves? Can half-elves become fey rangers? Could a half-elf raised by elves qualify, or is there too much non-elven blood? I also like the spell-focused...

Heh. Imagine trying to swing a small tree trunk. Yeah, I agree with the DM about not being able to get a Huge greatsword into a tavern. I can see the patrons or bouncers watching someone walking up carrying this thing. First, I'd think if I saw anyone carrying a fairly thick piece of metal...

Anyone can take Total Defense. Combat Expertise is derived from a feat, so it's optional. Not everyone will want to take Combat Expertise, so it's fair that the benefits from expending a feat should be better than the benefits from not taking the feat. Dave

If you're going to use the teleport trap idea, you might want to give some of the characters a chance to Spot that the walls are eerily similar, or something like that. Otherwise, it could get kinda boring. In general, I like the idea and have used similar things in the past. Dave

In general, I'd say that something inside an extradimensional space can be pretty summarily defined as being "someplace else," and usually "someplace else" isn't in the area of effect of a spell. To make things very simple, say that "someplace else" (in this kind of case) is definitely not...

As a DM, I have one of those enormous d20s that I place on the table, leaving it on a 1. Whenever combat starts, I keep track of rounds by turning that die up a number at the beginning of each new round. I ask my players to keep track of all their buffs and whatnot. Sometimes, we've probably...

There are some Will saves that seem particularly suitable for using the Int modifier instead of the Wis modifier. For example, some illusion magic is such that being smart enough to think your way around the situation ought to give you a bonus. There are other Will saves that don't seem that...

There's this little bubble above my head, and my high school physics teacher is in there, looking at me, telling me something about Newton's laws about forces. He's shaking his head and telling me that I cannot jump while levitating. Dave

My kids picked up the Critical Locations book and I've leafed through it. I like the maps--they're excellently done and look like they're, for the most part, able to be used in town after town. Sure, it could get a little boring for every bowling alley to be the same, but, there's enough in...

That was LONG. Dave

My questions are, 1) what does it do to the game to let him crawl 10 feet per round instead of 5, and 2) can you crawl 10 feet in 6 seconds (and have time to "take another action")? If nothing significant changes in the game by letting the magic affect his "crawling speed," then let it happen...

I've found that illusions of things that provide cover or concealment work well on battlefields. I mean, if someone doens't know that there's not a wall or hill or tree or whatever in the way, then they just see it there. Just providing cover or concealment for your allies can turn the tide of...
