    In Praise of Low-Level Campaigns

    I am a fan of low level campaigns as well. After all, I believe that toppling an evil, huge empire of undead is possible with a band of 1-3 level adventurers. What you need is a silver-tongued bard who can make impressive speeches in the halls of kings. If you can unite smaller forces to create...

    Epic Level more popular than Psionics?

    I played in only one game that reached epic levels, took a dwarf from a 1st level softie (if you can call dwarves that) to a 24th level killing machine. We had loads of fun. Our group does not follow the experience tables in the DMG BTW. So we play for a while and the DM says 'OK, it is time to...

    Zaratan - A Giant Turtle - Where to find it?

    Well, falling objects should have damage cap as well. It is all about terminal velocity actually. More air resistance applies as you increase velocity. When you reach that terminal velocity the air resistance is equal to the force applies by gravity so your speed does not increase, thus the...

    Zaratan - A Giant Turtle - Where to find it?

    Oh god, it really is considered an equipment now, and I was considering of including it in my plot as an island, being asleep for centuries. The version in the A&E Guide is CR 20 with 554 hp, 32 AC and minimal combat abilities. Com

    Favorite Levels of Play and then some Advice

    I voted for the 6-10 range. In the first few levels the characters are rookies of the world and the love of exploration with all the possibilities and dangers before you is great but your options are not varied. In the 6-10 range, each player has quite a few options and with luck can perform...

    Zaratan - A Giant Turtle - Where to find it?

    In AD&D 2nd edition monstous manual there was a creature named Zaratan. The said creature was a giant turtle carrying an entire island on his back. I looked through the 3rd edition book books MM 1, 2 and 3 but couldn't find it. Does anyone know if this creature was published in a 3 or 3.5...

    [D&D]Psionics only -- anyone tried it?

    Back in the days of second edition, we had one very long Darksun campaign. As there were no preservers in our group, we did not encounter arcane magic very much except for the occasional defiler, or some veiled alliance members. For those who do not know, darksun is a heavily psionic world where...

    Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!

    I did not participate in any LARP yet and I did not know there were pay per play sort of LARPs but I see your point. As long as everyone was having fun I see no problem with it. As an added bonus the invoker became notoriously famous in a sizeable minority of role-players. Com

    Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!

    I am pretty sure the title will be familiar to most people on these boards as IIRC it had been posted here several years back. However, there probably are some people who never saw this, and it never hurts to refresh memory... So to all the nice people of EN World, it is my distinct pleasure to...

    Something regarding polymorph any object

    If someone was to cast polymorph any object to a human to turn him into an orc, would the subject be acting like an orc as well, like the baleful ploymorph spell? If not, what spell do I need to perform this operation? An epic spell would do as well. The said person is a human fighter that put...

    Several questions about designing an elven wizard

    In a new campaign we are about to start I am going to play a sun elven wizard. By the end of the campaign which has a high tendency to go epic, I am thinking of having a Wizard5/Incantatrix10/Archmage5. He might specialize in a school I haven't decided yet. So my questions are: Would this...

    Looking for immunity to subdual damage...

    How about a ring of regeneration? I understand the necessity of the errata though. IIRC the revenant template was an undead and had regeneration instead of fast healing. It was sort of like the guy from the movie Crow. Com

    US troops are training the new Iraqi armed forces of soldiers, elite troops and the police force. Check out some of the numbers presented in the news articles (I saw them in nytimes.com) and adjust them to fit your nation. Although the numbers in those articles will be for modern troops, the...

    How we play the game: Character sheets

    I use a character sheet for the most widely used aspects of a character (stats, skills, saves, attack bonus etc...) Everything else is recorded on blank sheets of paper. At the end of a campaign the folder of a character is usually 10-15 sheets long. Com

    If You Had Unlimited Funds for RPGs in General

    If I had unlimited funds I would first buy a large house in a place easily accessible by my group. One of the larger rooms I would convert into a gaming room. The walls would be covered by plasma screens that would show the surrounding environment, be it desert jungle whatever, special movies...
