Also, Harriette, the old lady alchemist wanted to go with them to Ft. Kaylea. The reason being, she has an opportunity to acquire a large quantity of a a very rare, highly valuable, and potentially dangerous substance called Biomimic Gel. It can be used for a wide variety of things, from illegal...

Ok, as Steel Dragons asked upthread, the Wood Beholder fight was tonight! And this one was a classic. On the way to Ft. Kaylea, they encountered two nasty huge centipedes, that took a pretty big chunk out of their spells and HP. But they ended up with two strands of centipede silk, which they...

Thanks for all your help! :) The Wood Beholder fight is....tonight!

Ok, here's another question. Is it considered "cheap" if the DM has certain NPCs have an "anti-sense motive" charm? Like, if Valerie is wearing one, and they do a sense motive, the charm will make her seem like she is always telling the truth? I was thinking of having this, but would this be...

Hi Carborundum, thanks for the complements. The backstory, to me, isn't a huge deal if they don't follow through with it, but gives the players some short term goals, and corresponding rewards. A mission to find out who is behind the assassin's guild that killed your former captain is better...

Alright, I got another question, and this one does not have anything to do with game mechanics, but here goes.... In my campaign, we have two new players. I wrote background stories for both of them, and gave them each something to work towards as a medium to long term goal. The first is a...

Yeah, I figured it would be for spells they already know. The pricing is for if they build it, then decide they don't want to use it, and want to maybe sell it to a merchant.

Ok, I got another question.... I'd like for them to get a hat. Not just any old hat, but one useful for a sorcerer, wizard, or cleric. This hat will let them cast 3 extra level 0 spells, 2 extra level 1 spells, or 1 extra level 2 spell. Once it is used up, it will just be thrown away like an...

They are called Octotrees by the fairies because in their culture, they do not count past the number 8. They only do things in 8's, so 16 would be two 8s. 64 would be 8x8. And then for higher numbers, they would refer to powers such as 8 to the power of ^3 or ^4. The Octotree has (8x2)-6 legs...

Ok, I'll post a picture of the monster here, and tell you what I was planning. The monster is called a Wood Beholder, and it looks like this: Attacks It has 5 "legs" it uses to walk around, (albeit VERY slow) and 5 other appendages it uses to attack. Appendage #1 and #2 are just trunks...

Can silence be put into a type of gas? I am creating a monster, and I'd like for one of its attacks to be casting a silencing gas which chokes people and makes them lose their voice. Thanks for your help so far. :)

So anyways, for those who have read my previous posts, the story is, none of the other veteran players in this D&D club want to DM, and told me if I wanted to learn how to play 3.5 D&D, I'd have to DM. (Despite me never having played D&D before.) It didn't turn out to be the disaster I thought...

Hi all, Ok, I've looked through the MM section on creating your own creatures, and I've looked through the Creature Catalog on this forum, but I am still having trouble trying to figure out how to create my own monsters for DnD 3.5e. What I've been doing recently is finding creatures that sort...

Hey fellow DMs and PCs, I have a question regarding player mix. In my campaign, there are two players who I would consider "experts". They know the rules very well, and generally know what they are doing. I've been throwing battles at them that are somewhat unusual. Just last week, they were on...

Also, I thought I should mention I went and joined an official Wizards sanctioned DnD Encounters night on Wednesdays. I went in trying to get a grip on the battle system and understand a bit more about DnD for my own campaign. The problem is, they use 4e rules for the Wednesday one, and we use...

Hey all, thanks for the help. I am new to DnD. Long story short, they had too many players, and said the only way I could play is to be a DM. I reluctantly agreed. Anyways, the group seems to be having fun in my campaign right now. I make all my own monsters, just taking the stats of similar...

I am new to DnD and need help.

The Fighter is gonna be a lvl 3. The Wizard is the lowest, at level 2. The Cleric is the highest, since he's the guy who has not yet missed a d&d night. The problem is the Rogue/Sorcerer (planning to multiclass into arcane trickster) has a measly 7HP. He's got an AC of 16, so he does seem to...

Hi ENworlders, I am going to be running an encounter for 4-5 people on Friday, and the main monster they will be fighting is a Spectre. But I've cusom designed this to give it more unique powers. I am calling it a Pseudospectre because it is different from the one found in the 3.5 monster...

Wow, this topic has been eye opening and educational for myself. And I have to get a chuckle out of a poster named "Ugulu the Barbarian" trying to study alchemy. :) Something I thought of in regards to the Philosopher Stone was, it's suppose to be the ultimate object that an alchemist can...
