    XP for Escapees?

    By driving him off, they managed to pass the encounter. If you feel the award for driving him away is too high, you might consider giving them part of the award now and the rest when they finally defeat him.

    Search skill useful for a rogue?

    How did you come to this figure? I'm looking at the sample CR9-10 traps in Song and Silence and the Search DCs range from 16-34. Assuming an average of 25 on the DC (the PHB says "20" for the dificulty of locating a simple trap, 21+ for a difficult trap, that only a Rogue can spot, and 25+...

    Tattoed Monk

    As long as you take the Tatoos at the appropriate levels, then yes - you can have all those abilities. For the tattoos that state "per tatoo" you do not need to choose the same one multiple times to increase the benefit. Bear in mind that the efects of the tattoos are nullified in an...

    Virtuoso PrC

    NOW you're talkin! For a non-psionic option, the Blade Dancer is very nice, as is the Duelist. Well, those abilities are still available for use, but you won't be able to advance the class-exclusive skills like Use Magical Device. Still, as a Bard, there are many items you will be able to...

    What are your strengths as a DM?

    Knowing when to simply close the books, put away the dice, and tell an interactive story.

    Virtuoso PrC

    Most likely because the Virtuoso focuses his training on performance, rather than the acquisition of esoteric knowledge. Probably the same reason he loses Alchemy, Appraise, Decipher Script, Use Magical Advice, Knowledge, and Speak Language as Class Skills.

    NeMoren's Vault III: Return to the dungeon!

    Re: Can't believe it's not Bah! Ma'varkith's facial tattoos flash a firey orange. "Let's try to watch the 'Ma' comments..." "Why are we standing around bickering? If we keep this up, we'll be squaring off, steel drawn on each other, instead of focusing our energies on the foul inhabitants...

    What Prestige Classes Are In Sword And Fist?

    http://www.wizards.com/dnd/pclass.asp has a list of all the WotC Prestige Classes, and you can sort by source.

    Wow, check out this rules FAQ on the WotC boards.

    The spell has the "Evil" descriptor on it - seems pretty plain that the intent was that animating dead be an evil act, and I have to agree.

    Broken Paladin's Code Help

    I'd say that his actions weren't "Evil" - Chaotic, possibly, and definately self-serving. Most definately not noble and heroic. You haven't told us about the Code of Conduct you are holding the character to, so Ican't use that as a measure of whether or not he's violated something there...

    Golgordand's Gauntlet

    It was a pretty good beginner's adventure, with the exception of the "minefield" puzzle. My first impulse was to throw it out, but I left it in due to not having time to create a replacement. The players' reaction was to roll their eyes once they heard the description. One player commented...

    Wishing for feats, legal?

    Epic-Level rules look absolutely nothing like the description that user gave you, and are pretty much the same as the character advancement rules we're all familiar with. Sounds like your source has never seen a copy of the playtest document, and was either speculating or BS-ing.

    Wishing for feats, legal?

    With the same limitations and requirements as for raising stats, sure.

    Wishing for feats, legal?

    I don't think it's overly harsh - it keeps characters from wishing their way into a PrC, or to the end of a long Feat Chain. If they need the Feat to get into a Class, or they want to get something like Whirlwind Attack, then they need to work for it (by leveling up) just like every other...

    Open casting call for iconics- Q&A with our adoring fans

    OOC: Deedlit, I take it you have never read any of the novels or the RPG that the Lodoss OAV and series were based on. While the creators did, the characters don't speak Japanese in Lodoss. In the source material upon which the Anime is based, the language spoken is called "the Common...
