You are right here. I think people always choose the paladin because he is the paragon lawful good. Com

I agree completely with this. I just asked this question about a hypothetical situation to see what kind of answers people would give. Well let me ask another one:) Again a village, and there is a wizard tower in the middle. The mighty mage residing there is the guardian of the village. He...

The wizard was 4th level, the party 2nd. He cast dimension door from a scroll. The party figured if he was running away, he was really in bad shape, so decided to take him down with arrows. As for the rogue, the rope has a mechanism that when it is pulled with enough force, it recoils itself...

I always give the half XP appropriate for their levels. They get to fight the enemy several times, learn many of his tricks, prepare accordingly. And it is my experience that when in the end they kill such a guy, the player's really talk about it for a long time in character and OOC. I do not...

Here is another setup I discussed with my friend. The city is ultimately lawful, so no bending the law. The penalty for murder is execution. We have a kid who played a little late and is returning home. As he is about to enter he sees a stranger leaving his house with a bloodstained sword. They...

Well, I run campaigns in such a way that everyone always tries to win. In the above vampire scenario for example the vampire escaped with his life and couldn't save his daughter. The PCs took out the daughter's coffin and later they traded it with the vampire for the return of a religious relic...

You are absolutely right and I offer my sincerest apologies. I really need to sleep... (about 34 hours now) I even noticed this post just now. Com

Well, then let me improve the scenario a little just like I did to my friend. The kingdom is on the brink of a war with its southern neighbour [insert evil empire] The order of paladins or even a military dispatch is hard to spare. Other than the VILE ACTS, the wizard guy is protecting the...

Oh well, it is the players' job to stop his escape attempt. I mean if I face certain death and I have a chance of salvation the other way, I will try the other way. Generally all my NPCs have an escape plan relevant to their level, be it a potion of invisibility or teleport or the methods I...

As a DM I have a certain thing. Any NPC with int 8 or more who is losing the fight against the PCs will try to escape, if it is a viable option. I usually like to do this in a cinematic and sure method. The ones I have used so far that come to my mind are: - NPC wizard's stoneskin is about to...

I have only one. I try to be fair but I always have the final say during game time. Anything else can wait until after. Com

I usually play a diviner. I really like the concept. I really like the concept of a sagelike wizard. You sometimes get to know that your friend is going to betray you before even he does. Other than that, I would probably give up illusion and enchantment. I can never give up necromancy. Ray of...

That is my intention. I am too lazy to type or write so many numbers for all those critters. For the casual swordfight I always use stuff I borrow from someone else. All time I spend on prep goes to writing an adventure (mostly) or prepping the sheet of an important NPC. Com

I just noticed the English pronunciation of the name. We pronounce this name differently in my native language. Well whatever... Com

A cute little kobold named Kundum is hit by two confusion spells. Other than being reaaaly confused, what happens to him mechanically? Com

I chose 2. That's only because dying with a single arrow after so much effort would make me sad. You can rock the nations with a 2nd level bard.

After going through my newly acquired Eberron stuff and loving the setting, I decided to DM after a long time. I spoke with a friend who said he would play and said would bring someone else. Another of my friends said he might play. So the party was supposed to 2 maybe 3 players. I then said you...

This is not a situation I used in one of my games. My friend and I were discussing alignment issues over MSN. He is an FR fan, and I am a new Eberron fan. Just got my books and stuff. Those of you who have read the Eberron campaign setting knows that the alignment issue is handled in a more...

Here is the situation... In a kingdom there is a village that is really far away from the capital, so army patrols and that sort of thing do not occur here. A really sizeable group of harpies chose to nest near the mountains to the north. They would be bothering the villagers a lot, if it were...

I remember seeing somewhere that when a rogue sneak attacks a viable target (flanking him, flatfooted etc...) and his damage roll without the extra sneak damage does not deal enough damage to bypass the reduction, he does not roll the extra sneak dies. Is this part of the rules? If so where can...
