Dragons! It's gotta be dragons. Too iconic not to be. Specifically, a red dragon. Not far behind would be orcs. (Followed closely by goblins then kobolds) Honorable mention goes to beholders and mind flayers. Those 2 always garner an "Oh sh*t!" from the PCs... Later! Gruns

No answer yet? This thread is getting too long to remember where I last left off. The contents don't really interest me anymore, however, I must know the solution! (If any). I'd like to ask that if and when the solution is given, that it be given in it's own thread so I don't have to wade...

Hmm... Looks like the closest thing to a RAW answer lies in the spell description of Detect Poison. They suggest a Wisdom Check DC20 and then a Craft:Alchemy Check DC20. I allowed a Craft:Poisonmaking with a DC25(Using Spellcraft::Potion as a guide), giving +2 Circumstance since he knew it was...

Hello. Recently my PCs obtained what they (correctly) believe to be a couple of poison vials. Oddly enough, I can't find any info about how to identify the stuff. When the PC asked what it was, I had him make a check (Craft:Poisonmaking) and he rolled pretty low, so I told he he wasn't sure...

Sigh. So... When are we going to get the solution to the World's Worst Campaign Ending Puzzle With No Solution? If the entire community here isn't coming close after this long, something is definately wrong. And my OC disorder requires that I find the solution... Later! Gruns

Spirit Shaman Spirit Shaman Definately the next class I try out. I just have a fondness for Shaman, thanks to Everquest. Later! Gruns

Higher is better! Although I don't consider myself a munchkin/powergamer, I definately like high stats. Even though I know statistically the difference between say, a 12 Dex and a 15 Dex doesn't even matter 95% of the time(aside from qualifying for certain Feats), I believe PCs are supposed to...

My moment. Hey all... Gaming group consisted of me and 4 of my co-workers, one of which was my direct superviser, who was the DM. (By work, I mean U.S. Air Force active duty). Anyway, the party was on horses when we were attacked from range by lizardmen archers. *roll roll* DM tells me I fall...

Hey all... More of a "How would you handle this situation" than a rules question... I believe my new campaign(starting tonight) is going to have a Druid in it. (Players havent actually created characters yet, but have been throwing some ideas around.) Anyway, an early encounter I have planned...

Odd... As a DM, I throw the whole "Must have even numbered stats!" thing out the window by breaking the *cough* rules and making magic items with +1 bonuses to stats. (And many with minuses to stats...). Yeah, I know this just allows more opportunity to min/max ("Why dont you use the longsword...

Not-Quite-The-Ennies Best Battlemat Marker: Vis a Vis (No contest) Best Non-gaming-intended Mini: Dice (Easy to tell Orc1 from Orc2 from... Orc6 etc) Best Visual Aid: The Internet (Find a picture of an old mansion or something and just show it to the group while describing it) Best Prop...

... Whoa whoa whoa! Again, this thread wasn't an attempt to discuss the merits or downsides of Taking 20!!! I have no problem with the take 20 rule! I dont need ways to get around it, ways to change it, ways to disallow it etc... I just want more ways to make time matter! My problem is that I...

Hmm... I started this thread a few days ago, and just finished reading the replies. My problem has nothing to do with the time (real life time) it takes to say "We take 20 Searching the room". The problem is that taking 20 makes traps, secret doors, hidden treasure/keys/clues etc all completely...

Hey all. Here's my problem: On every dungeon crawl, every time my group of PCs clears a room, they take 20 on the Search checks... With a typical party of 5, spreadout in a standard room, this doesn't take much time at all. Short of simply not allowing taking 20, what are some good ways to make...

Very nice. Nice setup. I want one! Makes me want to look into projecting normally, onto a vertical surface, using the NWN editor (or any other program that would work) and completely eliminating miniatures altogether. This saves a lot of table space, and helps with some of the physical...

Meh. Mathematically speaking, 95% of the time, that 1 point doesn't matter anyway. Build your character with flavor and story in mind! Later! Gruns

First kill. My technical "first kill" was the snake in the sample, solo adventure from the Basic Red Book. A few minutes later, my best friend Bargle and I left the dungeon... First kill in a real adventure would be the Carrion Crawler hiding in the broken wall, also from the basic book. That...

So there are no 'must haves' from this sphere. Right now I'm leaning toward Mislead and Contingency. Our DM is relatively new, and often (Unfairly!) does all he can to target me, regardless of the precautions I try to take. Oh, it's not that I WANT to be a simple nuker, but given the common game...

Hey all... I just levelled my Wizard to level 11 last session, and now have access to lvl 6 spells. After looking over the list, I see nothing that excites me. I'd rather not take spells from a lesser level for my 'two free spells'. So... What's the word from the experienced gamers out there...

Best. Thread. Ever. Later! Gruns
