    DM on a Budget Wants to Spice Up His Game

    This is a semi-revival of an old thread, the name of which I have forgotten. Okay, so the PCs have found a treasure that is strange or is hard to describe with words alone. You're stumped. What do you do? I've been there way too many times. Does anyone have any suggestions for making props...

    Can't touch the PCs! What's a DM to Do?

    Okay, I'll give you a quick-and-dirty rundown. Party of six 6th level characters: human sorc, human cleric, human druid, human fighter, elven rogue, and dwarven monk/psion. I CANNOT touch them. I have not inflicted a *single* point of damage on them that has lasted more than a minute since...

    [YB!] Black Angus vs. Hanoi Xan

    Angus is beginning to sweat visibly. He begins guarding high, and throwing short chest-level jabs. He is focused now and is intent on landing blows rather than trying to deduce Xan's strategy. The fox moves within the heavens; dodges the beauty of the mind!

    [YB!] Black Angus vs. Hanoi Xan

    Black Angus grins as he realizes that he is in a position to launch an attack. "Try overpowering THIS..." Angus comes out of his defensive stance and makes some quick karate chops from above, to the left, and to the right as if trying to anticipate Xan's moves. The rose petal splits the...

    [YB!] Black Angus vs. Hanoi Xan

    Black Angus chages his stance so that he's now standing, but ready to dodge in any dirceting, and launces a quick, short jab every few seconds. "This isn't as easy as I thought... but it should be no problem for someone as good as me! Hahaha..." The lizard dodges next to the badlands; avoids...

    [YB!] Black Angus vs. Hanoi Xan

    Black Angus quickly rights himself, and stays low. Afte a second or two of staying and guarding low, he comes up, going for a straight punch to the face, and tries to drop low again. The dagger torments the palace; grasps the kick of the rain!

    [YB!] Black Angus vs. Hanoi Xan

    "I feel the luck within me! Today is the day I will begin my ascent into the ranks of the powerful and rich!" With a loud battlecry, Black Angus runs forth, his black cloak sweeping behind him, and lets loose with a flurry of punches as fast as he can whip them out. The panther sings next to...

    [YB!] Black Angus vs. Hanoi Xan

    Well met. Let the match begin. Black Angus returns the ritual insult. I find your kitten to be jaded, your guardhouse to be puny, and your strength to be flippant. Black Angus White Belt (0-0), No Yen Acquired No Style Adopted, Unaffiliated

    [YB!] Black Angus vs. Hanoi Xan

    Black Angus steps forward and speaks clearly and slowly. Where there is money to be earned and power to be gained, I will fight. You have yourself an opponent.

    [YB!] Black Angus vs. Hanoi Xan

    Black Angus walks into the arena registration area, posts a short message on the bulletin board, and makes a hasty exit, covering his entire body in his black cloak. The message reads: Black Angus challenges any new entrants into the world of martial arts. A willing challenger may post a...

    (YB 2.0) Fighter Registration

    Black Angus White Belt 0 Matches: 0 Record: 0-0 Yen: 0 Match Record: None Black Angus was always considered mysterious, as he never showed his face in public and rarely spoke. When he did speak, it was usually short and in a voice no one would hear clearly. He gained his name because he always...

    How to describe combat with large size discrepancy?

    Last bump. *punches the post really hard, sends it to the top of the list, and hopes it stays there*

    [Masters of the Wild] Resist Poison

    Quick question: Do Reist Poison and Resist Disease, when taken multiple times, stack with themselves? This question arises when a player wants to take the feats multiple times (duh) and with the Animal Lord PrC- Snakelord requires that you take Resist Poison as a requirement but gives you it...

    How to describe combat with large size discrepancy?

    Henry, I think, hit the nail on the head. DR and natural armor represent your inability to actually reach any point on the creature that will damage it. And then again there is only so much you can damage one part on any creature's body. How do you kill something really, really big by whacking...

    How to describe combat with large size discrepancy?

    *BUMP* because I have a game today & tomorrow and because of the morning shuffle.

    How to describe combat with large size discrepancy?

    Forgive me for asking this question if I sound stupid, but I'm a fairly new DM and am soon going to be confronted with this issue. I mean, sure, everyone can imagine a combat between two human fighters, swinging their swords, or two Colossal dragons locked in a tight battle. But what happens if...

    My dice hate me...

    Here's what I suggest doing. Step One: Carry a sledgehammer and some Ziploc bags to every game you play with your dice. Step Two: When a die rolls a one more than twice in the same game session, or reaches the limit where it is really starting to hinder your ability to survive, revome the die...

    What categories do you belong to?

    1, 5, 6, and 9. I've been working with computers since I was three years old and am in the top .3% of New York State according to standardized tests. I have very few friends due to problems I will not disclose. And I don't give a darn about what I put on each morning. As long as I am wearing my...

    [GM's] How much should you play?

    I am not the Iron DM (that title is reserved for Vaxalon) but an Iron Endurance DM. I've been running since September 2001 with only one week off. I still haven't had a burn-out yet. I'm itching to play, but I can't seem to find a group. *begins crying* I forgot what the front of the DM screen...
