Wow... that seem insanely overpowered, or is it just me?

Just to help clarify things, here are some of the relevant rules from the SRD: From the Vampire entry: From the Undead entry: And lastly, from the Disintegrate entry:

So, what happens if a vampire is hit by a Disintegrate spell and fails the save... does he turn into gaseous form and returns to his coffin or is he destroyed outright? Also, Libris Mortis has the following feat: Do those bonuses stack per negative level dealt or is it just a +1 for an hour...

Yeah, I'd say a "1" as well. I'd actually like to see a breakdown of the whole thing... how much would it be if a vampire didn't have his gaze Dominate Person ability? Is there a way to calculate that?

I have a question... I used to think that the Dominate Person spell controls the victim's body, but not his mind. I basically treated the caster as a puppet master, able to control the actions and the body of the victim, but not what he thought, said, etc. I thought you couldn't force people to...

I'm working on introducing a vampire NPC in my campaign, as I look over his abilities a thought hits me. Is there any reason why a vampire wouldn't have a standing army of Dominated humanoids with him? Beyond the attention it might bring (and this depends on locale, etc), is there anything...

Betrayals in Menzoberranzan… Ok guys, I need a fresh perspective on a plotline. Here’s the setup: My players are interested in running a short-term drow noble campaign in Menzoberranzan. I have four players, two female clerics, a male wizard, and the last is a kobold servant (assassin). Before...

Thanks for the info guys... good to know! And Tonguez, I'd be curious to hear how you think they "sux"?

So I'm writing up a vampiric NPC and looking at the rules for it, I come to an interesting realization... nothing in their rules for vampires or undead implies they need to feed on blood, or anything else for that matter. So, just another "myth" or an oversite? I'd love to hear your thoughts...

Does anyone have a list of "Contacts" beyond what's in Cityscape and DMG 2? I really like the idea, but I'd like to have a much expanded list. Do any other products other than those two list them? Thanks for any advice! -Arravis

This was around 88-89 or so. Didn't know he had become a recluse... interesting. He was a nice enough guy during the con (Swamp Con, if you can believe that), but I was just stunned that after I went through all the trouble of sending it to him next day air, he wouldn't even call with a thank...

In order... Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates in Psycho) at the New Orleans airport. He's very tall. I was very young, I don't remember much about him. Frank Zappa at Bush Gardens florida. Was kind of odd, all I did was ask him "Are you Frank Zappa?", he nodded and I walked away. This was in 83...

I have the following and unusual problem... First of all, we never, ever use modules or plots written by anyone else. All games are directly from the DM. Additionally, all my D&D groups were round-robyn DM (usually with me as the "main" DM though). My original gaming group, where I learned to...

As I understand, Beholders are quite vain and most of them have a mirror in their lair. Perhaps this one only recently made this lair, or his mirror was broken, etc. A large mirror would just be perfect :). It's mundane and not necessarily easy to get (depending on your campaign's rarity of...

Ok, here is the situation: The game is set in a rocky, desert world much like Athas (Dark Sun), but scarce in magic or psionics. As in Athas, metal is extremely rare, and the technology level is around the early bronze age period (without the bronze :P). There are a few rare woods that are...

Next week I'm going to the Macworld conference in San Francisco and I was curious if anyone knew of any good gaming stores I can visit while there. Or any other general attraction that is a "must" for the area. It'll be my first time in San Fran so I'm pretty ignorant on it. Thanks guys! -Arravis

66 WPM, 100% accuracy... all with two fingers (well, I use the pinky for Shift and the thumb for Space). I never took typing, but I can hunt and peck blind, without looking down. Not too shabby considering the method, lol.

I met my wife through EverQuest, we knew each other about 2 years before we met in person. Six months later she moved in, 3 years later we got married :). As far as D&D, she comes from a long line of gamers... her mother and father are both gamers, as are all her siblings. Worked out quite well...

Wow, that looks utterly amazing! Great work, just... wow. Thank you VERY much! -Arravis

I'm from PR, born in Rio Piedras. I moved to the states when I was 10 and I've sadly lost many of my once "l33t" spanish skills. I can understand it fairly well, but when I speak I sound like a tourist. Thankfully, everyone in my family speaks english so it's not much of a problem :). Anyway, I...
