If your group is heavy into roleplay: You could use a bard/rogue to pull off the "Music Man" scam, if your party is low on cash. Just have the character go to a village or small town. (Preferably one where a gambling house exists or where the adolescents of the town have a lot of free time)...

Wizard My advice is similar to what others have posted, but I do ideas that vary from the typical wizard. What can be said of the wizard is true for all other classes, but I have found it vital for my wizard: Work on the areas where you are vulnerable, because survival is your primary concern...

Vampire Gibbering Mouther Actually, one of the modules from WotC has a vampire Gibbering Mouther in it. The Gibbering Mouther is neither humanoid nor monstrous humanoid, so I'd say there is a precedent already for adding the vampire template to other types of creatures.

A friend of mine are having a disagreement. He wants to use the metamagic feat "Heighten Spell" in order to cast Polymorph other as a 5th level spell. He is a sorcerer. According to the Player's Handbook and the SRD: "Some spellcasters choose spells as they cast them. They can choose when they...

Oh definately blinded Phillip, yes, I'd rule that the Beholder is blinded and suffers from the 50% miss chance. Of course, it wouldhave to make a listen check to see if it could even find the characters. But then again, I think you need to take it easy on your players. One is dead, another has...

In the DMG, there is an alternate rule listed for death due to massive damage. The rule states that a medium sized character must make a Fortitude save if it sustains 50 or more points of damage from a single attack. Anyone know what the DC of the fort save should be? I don't see it anywhere in...

Best villain The best villains aren't necessarily the most powerful, but they are the peoplewho can hit you where you are vulnerable. I find that the best villains are usually those whom the party has known and trusted for quite a long time and who betrays them at the worst possible moment...

Here are a few suggestions: 1. Make sure that you are keeping track of their food supply. Normally, adventurers will only carry enough food for 5 to 10 days. Once they run out, they need to feel the effects. (Yes, some of the more difficult players will claim they are carrying 50 days worth of...

In my group, we also assume that the cleric can how badly someone is wounded by their appearance or by how the person communicates his/her wounds to the cleric. However, our challenge was in determining what happens when a character's hit points fall below zero but above -10. The character is...

In my campaign, the single greatest cause of slowing down combat was kibbitzing. For instance: I'd call for everyone to roll initiative and then we'd start. Invariably, the first person to go would state: "I am going to move here and then I'm going to try to slash the enemy with my sword"...

Sneak attack I find that I frequently outdamage the fighters in my group, when the circumstances allow, but then again, at other times, I am almost no help to the group. Environment, situation and monster types are the factors that will either hinder or allow a rogue to use his/her sneak...

Greyhawk Boxed Set You might see if you can find the original Greyhawk boxed set on e-bay. While some of the info may be outdated since the Greyhawk wars, there are some great descriptions of all of the deities of the flaness, geography, weather patterns, seasons and months of the year...

Oh don't worry Phillip, I can find plenty of other ways to kill your dwarf besides spells;) I thought the save applied to all spells. So far, I don't know that you have had to worry about applying the saves, but trust me, you'll have the opportunity in the future, wink wink.

The question that I have that just came up is what happens when you lose 2 permanent inherant ability points? According to the DMG, the maximum cumulative inherant bonus is +5, but if you lose 2 points, does that mean you now can gain back that 2 plus an additional 5 points? And, what is the...
