    Gambling and Creating Poison?

    I thought I saw in one of the WoTC books a Skill which was utilized for players to use in games/gambling? Does anyone remember where this was located? Also, what about if a player wants to create poisons? Do you recall what skill is used, and where it was located? Thanks for the help.

    Remove a class level to later gain a class level

    The group I have been playing with has advanced their characters to about 10th level. Some are very pleased with their choices in the classes they have chosen others feel that they had wished they had taken a different route. I was thinking of implementing a house rule to allow a player to...

    Is WOTC/Hasbro mismanaging D&D?

    Overall, I am very pleased with the majority of products that WOTC has published. Additionally, I play with 5 other experienced role players who agree that the new 3rd Edition supplements may not be to the tastes of all, but do have their place and appeal. What is most unfortunate for me is...

    So what your EPIC!

    Am I missing something here? The impression I get from the masses and my own interpretation of Epic Level Characters in the ELH is that it seems to be suggested that an Epic Level Character would wipe the floor with a standard level character. By standard I am refering to a high level non-epic...

    Counterspell. Has anyone even seen it used in their game!?

    I have been DMing the 3rd edition rules pretty much since the beginning. I have an 8th level wizard/3rd level bard as well as an 8th level cleric in the group who have the potential to do this. so far it has never been done! To be honest, as the DM I have never used it as well. In discussion...

    Monks unarmed attack bonus/

    A player in the game is a 3rd level monk. His BAB is +2 and his Unarmed attack bonus is a +2. Does the unarmed attack bonus of +2 stack with the BAB +2 or is it completely seperate? I didn't see this mentioned anywhere in the players handbook. I know that the monks strength bonus definately...

    Can a familiar use their own HP's instead of 1/2 masters?

    One more thing I just thought of. Can you AWAKEN (Druid Spell) a familiar to grant it +2 HD? Obviously then computing additional hp's?

    Can a familiar use their own HP's instead of 1/2 masters?

    Ahhhh. I didn't look in the Tome and Blood book while I posted this. I am just about to play and kind of rushed the question to hopefully get a response before the game. Thanks

    Can a familiar use their own HP's instead of 1/2 masters?

    Regarding a familiar's HP's it says in the Players Handbook that they receive 1/2 the masters. Let's say that the Wizard took the Improved Familiar Feat and has a Shocker Lizard which grants 2d10 hp's. Lets say for argumants sake they receive from this 12 hp's. The wizard/master has 8 hp's...

    Non-psionic Buffer...Be gone

    In the new rules if a character uses a psionic attack mode (ego whip, id insinuation, mind thrust, or psychic crush) on a character which doesn't have psionic powers, the non-psionic character receives the "non-psionic buffer" subtracted from the DC of their will save. These "bonuses" to the...

    How do you kill your Players!

    With the new rules concerning ressurection characters have a much greater opportunity to be brought back from the death regardless of its cause. Not that this is a problem, however, I was wondering ways that other DM's use to SCARE your players into thinking this might be the end if I get...

    Gambling Games

    You got it. I myself couldn't even remember where it came from it was so long ago. I just tweaked it a bit. I have to check through my mags to see where it was again and how it was used :)

    Gambling Games

    I have played with a bunch of different dice games using the 6 dice which are normally used in Dungeons and Dragons. My players love them and it is a fun twist to the game. Here are a few: 1) DICE RACE: All players roll the D6. The object is the first to get to 20 is the winner. All dice...

For the purpose of using a scroll or other magic device, if...

    Tower Shield Cover Bonus

    Does the cover a tower shield offer's to its wielder also apply to the enemies he is fighting in melee!? (Lets say the wielder is gaining one-half cover for a bonus of +4 to his AC. Is this +4 also added to the enemies AC he is fighting). I think I read that it did, but a player has asked me...
