I'm no expert on Epic stuff, but I would rule that you would need a weapon with a +6 enhancement bonus.

Afternoon all, I'm sitting here doing some last minute prep work for my campaign tonight and realized that I have no idea how to handle saves for a monster that has been advanced to 21+ HD. Do they get Epic Save Bonuses or do I just extend the save chart? I've advanced a Tendriculos to 27 HD...

According to the FAQ (I believe), they temporary hit points gained from a source like this would stack with each other (the FAQ specifically mentions the bodyfeeder ability, but it's pretty much the same for this example. Let me see if I can find the entry here: This seems to say that...

Cool idea. You might want to take a look at the Midnight campaign setting from Fantasy Flight Games, it's very much like the world of Middle-earth if Sauron had won.

Just curious, how does Jump get the half-orc close to combat faster? As I recall, jumping movement also counts as regular movement (so if his base speed is 20, and he jumps 40 feet he's completed a double move).

It's only happened once to me and I jumped on the characters with both feet as a result. While I can't remember what monster it was, when I saw the player looking it up, I just picked two random monsters, combined their stats, applied to the monster and proceded to rampage on the party. Not fair...

hehe, and here I was already to dig my books out and find it. :)

I don't have my books here, but I'll try to find it tonight when I get home from work for you. (I could be making stuff up, but I'm sure I read that rule somewhere).

:lol: awesome line.... next time my party is complaining about devious tactics I'm going to use that. Thanks!

no doubt, the new death card is full of the suck for players :). Plus the Sun card (I think) grants you a medium wondrous item and 50,000 XP. I've got to check if that's errata'd or not, but the amount is insane. (I think the rule re: gaining XP to advance more than one level at a time are still...

:) Thank , they're playing . I've haven't used one as a DM for years... decades almost (okay like 15 years, that's pretty close to decades isn't it?). I know the players have been agonizing over it for the last couple weeks and we meet next weekend. A few people are going to draw single...

But Thanee is correct about the manner of drawing cards. You have* to declare how many cards you will dray before you draw any. If you announce more cards than you draw the rest come flipping out of the deck automatically. Also each drawn card is replaced in the deck after it is drawn (except...

I'd allow leadership more than once, gaining a cohort from each one, but I definately wouldn't allow cohorts taking leadership for the same reasons mentioned by Pax. If the PC wants to use their feats to further divide the treasure and XP, I have no problems with it. That said, if you didn't...

Full Ogres would be minimum Effective Character Level 6 (4 racial Hit Dice + 2 Level Adjustment + any class levels). Ogre Barbarian 1 would be a level 7 character. To me +3 doesn't seem too bad at all. A Half-ogre Barbarian 1 would be a level 4 character, just slightly better than half of the...

I suspect that the balance issue is more related to your fellow party members who may be waiting to smack the enemy once he's down. While you're not doing any more damage to him, your friends can (and get a +4 bonus to hit to boot) and you are preventing him from taking actions while prone...

One of the players in my campaign is playing a half-ogre and they are way too powerful for a +1 LA. I'd recommend a +3 LA: +1 for being large (the boosted damage dice is invaluable), +1 for attribute bonuses, and finally +1 for other benefits (primarily natural armor).

My technique is to "forget". Encounter too easy? Forget to remove some hitpoints from the bad guys when they get hit. Too hard? Forget to have the bad guys make optimal attacks, forget strength bonuses on damage rolls... and so forth :)

Don't the rules state somewhere that you can only prepare spells once in a 24 hour period? I don't have my books handy so I can't check, but I thought that was written somewhere... if not it makes a good house rule if you want to advoid the whole "Well, that fight is done, let's rest 8 hours and...

Well, discounting minatures, I'm spending less and plan on spending much much less in the future. Like most of you, I find that there are so many products, lots of unknown quality so it seems that it's a risk to buy anything. Anything Dragonstar or Midnight I automatically buy (I'll probably...

If you have it, you could check out the chase system from Spycraft... It looks really good for doing all manner of chases.
