MORE SUNLESS SPOILERS: MORE SUNLESS SPOILERS: MORE SUNLESS SPOILERS: MORE SUNLESS SPOILERS: It's been a while since I played this, but I thought Belak's area was covered with thick scrub, which hampers movement? (Belak can run through here using some Druid ability, but the PC's move very...

And there are several threads about the Immoth as well. I played module that contains both an Immoth and a Remorrahaz. The latter was scary but ended up eating a lot of donkeys and NPCs while the Wizard and Druid flew away in safety. The party unloaded on it and killed it pretty quickly with...

I do two major things: 1) Look where the party is likely to go in the next session. Break out the stats of the NPCs who will be in that area into a stat block to be put in a binder for quick reference. I rebalance the NPCs, especially spellcasters, at this time by a) upgrading their ability...

Perhaps allow him to subtract his DEX from his AC? So a nimble Rogue might be 10-4 = AC 6; a Fighter in Full Plate might be 10-1 = AC 9. I don't believe an auto-hit is appropriate for a ranged touch attack, so represents the target using his DEX to try to get hit. As for the rest, I agree...

I think this is the key. For instance, DR 10/magic is generally awesome at low levels and generally poop at high levels. So what is this ability worth in terms of LA? Well, it depends on if you are playing a 2nd level or a 22nd level character. I don't think these abilities can be balanced...

Oh, yes, this tactical movement is mostly in combat. Maybe its just my players but they are always rushing around blind corners etc; that's the situation I am curious about. ;) So I see one vote for method #2 from Bauglir. Additionally, Wocky voted for #1 and dcollins voted for #2...

Does your group declare each Move Action and then execute it in its entirety? Or are your Moves more fluid, involving Spot and Listen checks and the discovery of new information? For instance, my group has been very fluid; "I move 5 feet to the corner and keep looking for monsters. Then I...

Assuming the PCs are the same level as this NPC, then he will need some way to deal with Invisibility, such as See Invisible. If he is outdoors he will need a way to deal with Flying. (This could be handled by items or by spells I suppose, but you don't get to 10th if you can't deal with...

Well, headed in a slightly different direction: 3E Haste let you essentially Quicken every spell; and Quicken "uses up a spell slot four levels higher" so that gives you a rough estimate of how high 3E Haste should have been. Iku Rex's guess of "9th" starts to sound pretty reasonable if you...

Who is demanding a Sorcerous Quicken??! Are Sorcerers not already powerful enough? I know this topic came up before and another couple sessions have gone by in my game since then. I am even more sure that letting Sorcerers Quicken is just batty and is correctly prohibited by the rules...

My understanding of the Invisibility section of the SRD is that you can make a Listen or a Spot against an Invisible character. (Since they are free actions, you may be able to do both?) If you Listen, for instance, there is a table with the DCs in the SRD. If the Invisible creature is "in...

Hrm, not sure how I missed that. (For the record I was thinking "Rary's", but I somehow missed that in the 1E books as well. :o )

I could have sworn that there was some sort of item or spell called "Telepathic Bond" that let two PCs communicate freely. I couldn't find it in 3E. Then I looked in 1E and couldn't find it there either. Hrm. So, have I mis-remembered the name? Or have I totally imagined the whole thing?

I've seen it done; it definitely frees up the DM. It also makes the NPCs a lot smarter. ;-)

Flipping the situation on it's head; would the party have CDG'd a fallen Orc Cleric while combat was still going? My party wouldn't except in very narrow circumstances; they'd expect to win and then CDG everyone afterwards. So they'd continue attacking other standing Orcs. This is the...

It's more that (as Otterscrubber pointed out) that the "formula" is a very rough guideline of what an item might cost. If an item costs above "formula" it's probably because it has proved powerful during playtesting.

I have a lot of sympathy for the roll-playing perspective, but I can understand what your friend is saying. This book sounds like it would suck all the fun out of the game; making it somehow robotic. I guess I've used math to think about an existing character (to Flurry or not as a Monk for...

I'm finding a similar thing with 6 high-stat, high-item 12th level PCs. EL16-17 is a good fight for them instead of the TPK it should be by standard power measures. And tough fights are less scary at 12th level where there are Teleports, Words of Recall and Abundant Steps to get out if things...

That's what I was noticing about this thread; lots of people talking about the $5-$10 range. But there's no doubt that the cool ones like the Big Orcus and the Red Dragon are going to sell for more than $10. The market in general says this: you aren't going to get a Reaper Dragon for under $10...

Another vote 100% in favor of the changes to Dungeon.
