Hey Blackdirge I have never checked out the story hour before and decided to just take a look. I started to read this post and said "WOW"! It is truly awesome and I do alot of fantasy reading. While reading it I felt I was reading the history of an npc which exists in the game I run. Of...

As DM I set DC's depending on what I feel the challenge should be. I may refer to the books for some reference, but that does not hold any weight above what I feel the DC should be for a certain skill. As characters rise in level it could be reasonably assumed that the DC's for certain skills...

Idea's all the way!!! There are so many rules articles that I mostly just pass them by. The only time they get a glance is when they very neatly fit a niche that I need for a module or setting. Of course this is not very often and what I may want or need is not what another may. Regardless...

Psionics Handbook is a big use. I play alot of psionics in my game and have a psychic warrior. I also frequently use the splatbooks for all the classes, especially the Tomb of Blood and Sword and fist. Two PC/NPC prestige classes. I use many Prestige Classes for my npc's to throw my players...

I agree Isle of Dread is great. What about the Jungles of Chult module? If you dont have them you can try ebay. You would have to convert them a bit if you play 3.0, but its no biggy!!

OK, nobody will probably like this advice, however, when I DM encounters I: #1) Make sure not to throw too many of these instant death effect creatures/characters upon the characters. #2) If I have wizards/sorcerers/creatures which have instant death attacks confront the party I often hold...

Hey Zaerun:) You shouldn't feel that those feats are a waste of choice. However, I understand what you are saying. The group needs to make reasonable accomodations for you to create say, a wand of cure serious/light wounds. This can be given then to the elf rogue who could then be a part of...

Hey check out Avedeens post who is the psychic warrior. Read the situation he presented and give us your feelings on what he said. Although last night went well and the druid did a nice job the psychic warrior, as can be seen, still has a couple of unfinished concers. My error (I thought it...

Arbados is back with an update!! :) Hey everyone! I am actually amazed at the response this post has received! It has been GREAT! I just want to say to everyone who has added their suggestions and opinions, regardless of their viewpoint, thanks! It has come in handy one way or the other...

Original Poster Arbados back: The druid has not seen the board yet. To be honest I didn't tell him about it because I was concerned that there would be a heavy thrashing of him as a player and character. I didn't want that to happen becasue he is a good friend. The other three players have...

Arbados the original poster is back again (and thanks for the replies they have been great): The druid has two animal companions which he does not have tag along on missions unless they accamodate the creatures natural habitat. One is an owl (WISE!) which he lets remain within its lands to...

There have been many great ideas and I have already spoken to the elven rogue player about some of the suggestions. It seems that he feels that the group should work it out in character and try to offer some battle suggestions such as wildshaping if necessary to help out the front lines...

As long as they play intelligently! If they just rush in to battle an obviously overpowering oponent I don't give them much unless they retreat in a resonable time. I think xp's should be awarded from learning mistakes as long as they make resonable decisions and seem to learn while doing it.

That's a good suggestion Liquid Snake. He doesn't ever use his wild shape to change into an animal to attack. It is usually to scout as a bird or bat (of course safely away from harms way). Any more comments? Keep em coming!!!

Let me start by saying that I have never had a need to post this type of question before, but I am interested to see what the rest of you think :) I DM for a very experienced group of players who are all pretty good friends and have been playing together for years. I myself have DM'd for 25 or...

Hypersmurf, where did you get the description for spell-like ability having NO Components? If that is the case then they could wild shape easily enough, but I figure that they would still be grappled.

Can a druid wildshape into say, a small animal, while grappled in order to attempt to escape the grapple? It says that wild shape is a spelllike ability in both the PH and the MotW. So does that mean they cannot, because you can only cast a verbal spell while grappled? I am not sure and could...

That reply was quicker than it took me to get my Shrek pillow from the closet to go to bed!!! All kidding aside...thanks

Simple question, but it is late and I I was looking for a quick answer. If you are within a threatened area and you draw a weapon do you receive an AoO? There it is!

Drinking is encouraged!! Hey I used to DM for a group of players who needed a keg each to keep them going. Did it affect the game? well maybe to a point of silliness, but we were all friends and have seen each other smashed many times before. The game is to have fun and whatever floats your...
