Why not just wait out the surprise round doing nothing, and then perform either attack... the target is still asleep! *laugh*

Maybe they get a strange, far-away look in their eyes as they concentrate for a moment to activate their ability...

When using the domain wizard in a campaign it's the only type of wizard that should be allowed in play; it's not supposed to be used with base wizards or specialist as well. It is most certainly not "balanced" in a game with vanilla wizards, it's in all ways better. Not all the variant rules...

If I remember correctly from earlier discussion, there are no "drawbacks" as it's meant to completely replace the wizard/specialist if you're using that variant class, so there's no need to balance it against them.

First thing, there's no way Hobgoblins should be +1 LA, they get less special abilities than a Dwarf or even an Aasimar, it's just that, for some reason, having two stat increases is seen as over powering. The are not better than Dwarves if you list them side by side so that 1 LA really weakens...

Word!

Wow! I really like the idea of shield-as-cover-bonus! I'll have to bring that up with my players; it makes so much sense I'm surprised I hadn't thought of it myself!

I think Nail hit... the nail... right on the head with this! Of course, it's the old "mechanical advantages" balanced with "role-playing", but that seems to be the point of exalted status.

Well, I've decided to (retroactively) allow stuff to fall out of the dissipating vampires as opposed to just leaving it in their coffins for the PCs to find. They're going to "flare up" and flash to ash, and any magical or metallic objects will survive, but any non-magical cloth or soft objects...

Oh, I'm not looking to penalize the players at all! The treasure for the encounter will be found in the coffin room (if they unseal it and go up there) and they got a good chunk of xp for the encounter as well. This is more looking at a rules interpretation/implementation for the creature...

The vampires' coffins were hidden in a chamber that had been sealed off using stone shape with only a few long narrow cracks to only allow a creature in gaseous form access. These cracks were actually in the ceiling of the room the combat took place in and required flying/levitating to get too...

I recently ran an encounter for my players that involved a vampire and her two spawn. My players cleverly defeated them by preventing them from getting back to their coffins after they were reduced to 0hp in combat. My question is: what happens to the vampires' stuff? They were in gaseous...

The halflings in my current campaign are wandering Gypsy-like creatures. Their legends say that, when they were created, their goddess hid them beneath the folds of her dress when Death walked among the new creations determining when they would die, so they were missed in the Great Counting...

I'm running the event for my FLGS and there's been a lot of interest, particularly in the Eberron module. That is until all these people interested in Eberron discovered it's just the adventure out of the book, which they've either read or already played. As well, the write-up says that...

Is it a tin-foil hat? ;)

In my campaign, and with the full agreement of the player who runs a kineticist, psions with energy powers must choose an energy affinity that they focus in, one that they are prohibited frorm using and two that cost two extra PP to manifest with. There have been no complaints about it and it...

Uh... they might be facing two foes? *laugh*

Sean K. Reynolds presented some interesting variant rules for poisons, I recommend checking them out! http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/variantcontinuingpoison.html

I just wish they'd go all the way and make them "Large" creatures as opposed to this pseudo-large stuff. It's already got LA, so there's no real harm in it. The cultural notes are interesting though.

Birthright was the only campaign TSR put out that I actively hunted down and purchased every release for. I love the concepts, the feel, and the world... this could've been TSR's Eberron if they'd've supported it better. Unfortunately, any of the updates to 3.x haven't really done if for me...
