Greetings. I am about to run a 3.5 conversion of the old Return to the Tomb of Horrors adventure, and in preparation discovered that I'd like to fill out some of the books that can be found in one of the adventure's libraries. Particularly, I'm looking for 1-paragraph histories and biographies...

I'd have to go with Privateer Press' Monsternomicon with the iron litch ripping through the cover or with Green Ronin's Black Company Campaign Book with WAR's rendition of the Tower at Charm, the Lady, Whisper, et. al. Oooo...

My telepath 8/fighter 8 has two +1 keen daggers, +5 shadowsilk amphibious empyreal slick leather armor , a ring of protection +2, a belt of many pockets, gloves of dexterity +2, a periapt of health, a pillow of blissful rest, steadfast boots, a veil of allure, and a blue dragon tooth belly-jewel...

I offer my players 50 XP per character level for a one-page, in-character journal, letter, or the like regarding the week's session. It's enough to be noticed, but not enough to throw the game out of wack. Also, since only one or two take advantage of it, they notice a nice half-level to level...

I've had a really wonderful idea, but I don't know how to pull it off, so I've come to EN World for a little help. I love the binders from Tome of Magic, and was recently thinking of what real-world personalities would make good vestiges... Elvis. Pure and simple. So much is legendary about...

Well, I don't know about anything posted here, but the Murder Crow from Tome of Horrors III is a Medium undead crow that, when killed, explodes into an undead raven swarm. And the charnel hound from Monster Manual III is a huge dog composed of hundreds of rotting corpses. I got good use out of...

When I ran this at the beginning of the year, I simply had the drow wizard bestow greater curse on the fire giant, shrinking him to Small size. He now wears a hat of disguise to be one with his new clan until he can get the curse removed. This solves the immunity to fire bit, and he still has a...

I'm guessing that they will be using the new magic item format in the upcoming Compendium, so I will probably have to look at it like the next Monster Manual IV. Too damn much fluff! Three-thirds of a book taken up by item background that isn't needed or that I could come up with myself is a...

Thanks for the responses. I do appreciate them, and know know what to do. (And knowing is half the battle?)

Right, so as I was driving home today, a question hit me: I was thinking of adding the dark template (from Tome of Magic) to hell hounds for clerics of my campaign's death god to summon; what happens when a creature with cold vulnerability gains cold resistance from an added template? Is there...

The binder class is working out just fine in my homebrew campaign. I have created my own vestiges to represent the archangels and the demon lords that were ousted from reality after the war between the dualistic CG and LE gods. The PC binder in the party has dedicated himself to the angelic...

From the Core, it would probably be Wee Jas. Were I stuck in the Realms, I'd have to go with Mask. However, if we're allowing additional titles, I would choose Evening Glory from Libris Mortis, hands down.

I've just started a new campaign, and am most definitely using the Affliations rules. They are perfect for the knightly orders I've got in mind, and seem to be a better way to put some things (like a mage's guild from my major city) into the game without making up an entirely new prestige class...

Well, I just began a new campaign myself. I had each player come up with a reason their characters were on board a small merchant ship on a month-long voyage. Their characters were simply assumed to have met and befriended each other during the month, and so naturally stuck together going ashore...

The Fighter/Telepath/Dominator I ran through Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil had a very poor opinion of the tactics used by the majority of creatures she faced. Practically every new monster had her wondering aloud, "How do you say 'dumbass' in [Goblin, Giant, Draconic, etc.]?" My...

I'd say almost all of my characters have taken at least one "skill" feat, and that over half of them have had both a +2/+2 feat and Skill Focus (something). I've even had an epic character with some 10 feats devoted solely to his Bluff skill. Convincing a charging warrior to give you his sword...

The Book of Erotic Fantasy has the Fellid template that turns any humanoid race into a cat-people race. All the halflings of my homebrew world have this template that increases Dex, gives bonuses to Balance, Climb, Hide, Jump, and Move Silently, and as the creature increases in level, it gets...

Let's see... Female maenad telepath/fighter dual-wielding daggers Female human wizard/archivist with a dagger Male human exhalted monk slapping people with golden-iced hands Male human psion/constructor using astral constructs Female half-ogre barbarian/frenzied berserker with Large greataxe...

I'm currently running my group through a 3.5 version of Dragon Mountain as a prelude to a Return to the Tomb of Horrors epic game.

The party in our current Tomes of Greyhawk campaign (Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, Dragon Mountain, Return to the Tomb of Horrors...) consists of Brother Poe the Redeemer, a male human exalted monk with the saint template "Holy" Freda, a female human monk with devotion to Zilchus (LN...
