Hi all, My bard has some tough choices to make about picking a prestige class. All options are a lame and the virtuoso sublime chord combo has been shot down my DM. We don't do Bo9S cheese and I won't try nasty inspire courage exploits and this leaves me a bit afraid of ending up with a not...

Oh No Jolly has fallen of the edge of the story hour page cliff! Is every thing ok? I find the individual short stories interesting but I am missing the trill of an overarching plot. I'm sure the Crimson Throne has one but I can't as yet put my finger on it. Different bad devil worshippers start...

I did this awful thing to my pcs the other week, and am still trying to come up with a way out. Our halfling thief triggered a trap that send you to a random hell and polymorphes you into a lemure at the same time, after slaying a pit fiend. Thankfully he saved against becoming a lemure but we...

Don't you all hate those bard guys. The system in all editions seems totally hard-wired to give them the better over all other classes. Its just so unbalancing that when ever there is confrontation, a discussion or some off time, that bard starts singing and hugging the spotlights. My paladin...

I love the entangling blast bracers. Finding enough bracers for these beasts is almost imposible. This will be nasty. Creating a set sounds like a lot of work. I might try it. Any ideas? Zanticor

Be a gnome! The trip attack on a ridding dog and that sticking your lance in the prone monster, is great. Just ready an attack on everything that comes at you and trip away. Great fun! Zanticor

gold limit: hmm. Thats hard because I have not been very liberal with my treasure until now. The DM guide says 80.000 gp is the norm. So I guess thats fine. They will need some standard items (what wizard leaves home without a headband of intellect?) but I have the item compendium so nice things...

Hi there, Night Below spoiler: do not read this if you are a player in the Night Below! I have been living up to this moment for sometime and now the end of my Night Below campaign is coming into focus. My players will be about level 19 when the finally start to encountering the real bag...

You asked us to ask you so here is my round of poking. I've truly enjoyed this story hour and pray to the gods Shemeska will keep going at it. If you write something new elsewhere, just post the link up here if you like because your planescape is such a big inspiration to us all. I'm trying to...

I used to really hate waiting for my players to start getting into initiative order. So I made that their business. The DM doesn't need to control who goes next. We have some standup-cards and one of the players makes sure they go in the right order and prods the one that goes next. For my...

Oh boy oh boy. I'll sure follow this one. Shame about the last one but the Crimson Throne is of on a good start. I hope the characters will grow on me like the last times. Zanticor

I think i leveled up my guys to level 17 in about 3 months of in game time (and three years real game time). This bugs me to no end and next campaign I'll try something a bit more realistic. Still it gives an explanation as to how they can now suddenly be dangerous enough to take on the aboleth...

I am so shocked. A TPK for the best power gamer group around the boards. You've been a great inspiration for my games and now you've actual all died. Maybe I should try killing of my guys too for a change. Can you give a description of what it actually is like when the characters you've invested...

I had the same thing come up with my parties priest who discovered the Planar Ally spells but from the other side of the screen. I can tell you it pisses of your DM if midway into a carefully designed campaign your players want to introduce Planar Ally as a summon spell for unlimited Inevitable...

There have been some really helpful illusionary threads out there and with a dc15 googling skill check you can find some real gems. The consensus has always been that you need a DM git that wants to work with the illusionist because of the enormous impact her/his rulings have on illusion spells...

Thank you all for an insight into how you handle this issue. It seems some people follow the line of: once you pick your career path you have to stick with it for the rest of your life, while others want to reinvent themselves every day. The middle way seems to be to allow on the job...

Hi there, My players have been advancing at a slow pace for the last 4 years and have just hit level 16. Along with this advancement their characters developed and they have become so attached to their PCs that I hardly even dare to kill one even if resurrection is a possibility. One of them...

Hi there fellow gnomes, the one thing us illusionists hate most is standing in the open and performing a complicated spell procedure having our hand around and shouting an invocation. Nothing ruins the art of a good illusion like an enemy wizard yelling to his buddies that the wall of ghostly...

I agree with the people saying dragons are a essential part of d&d. I´ve used them as mean brutes or just to scare my players at the end of a dungeon crawl. They are supposed to be scary and will most likely kill one of the PC´s. The treasure and XP they bring must make up for this loss. Most...

Wow. In my 3.5 game the players would probably all have died within five rounds if they made such awfull mistakes. Or more likely they would have started teleporting out after round two. Zanticor
