    'Lack of Heroism'

Each person gave me some kind of inspiration, if I thanked everyone personally id be worried one of you would miss yours, so a big thank you overall! 'A big bad guy' chasing them idea, that is an idea that I like. At the moment there is a...

    'Lack of Heroism'

    I am trying to DM, and I will be the first to admit im not the best at it. But I am struggling as my players are very much taking the view "Screw the plot, lets go kill things" From the group mage. So I thought fair enough, I will tend to the groups need's like a DM should. So I set up a nice...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Why the change in DR from 3.0 to 3.5

    At the end of the day I think on an issue like this, its mostly down to the individual PC's. I much prefer the monster diversity in the v.3.5 MM to the v.3 MM, but you have inspired a new idea (for me, I am sure someone has thought of it before XD) And that is to take the combination DR and mix...

    The power of a curse

    jefgorbach your idea is reasonably and thanks :D The limit on magic items for wish is defiantly clear, you have to pay additional XP cost equal to double that of the magic item +5000 additonaly, and it also says in the magic item guide the upper limit of a magic item (I wouldn't know to much...

    Shopping as an encounter

    It seems any item that is made available in the book should be available to the player unless special circumstances prevent it So as long as its not a relic, or artifact or rare for any reason, yeah I recommend unlimited inventory - I tried a limited inventory game, the balance just went out...

    Shopping as an encounter

    Sorry I haven't tried 4(e) before, but the 3e skills Bluff if it carried over And the issue I can see is players wanting what you havnt made 'for sale' If I was you (Since the idea isnt a bad one overall) I might think about making 'set shop keepers' stats based on item price 1 for junk level...

    Protecting My Stuff!

    When your not in, have a floor safe? Burry it and store things, granted you wont achieve quite what you want, at least you can keep your items until you can ward your house? If anyone can get past magic wards, there probably worth hunting down, and give you some fun chasing them up and making...

    Shopping as an encounter

    Well, shopping as an encounter is in some respect ok, but if players want to haggle to lower item prices, which I agree isnt unreasonable, I would suggest that you come up with a very quick and simple system, measure their diplomacy/bluff check and change the modifiers based on how you consider...

    The power of a curse

    to be a curse, I think it would have to be a lower level creature, otherwise I think it should be house rules that it is not a curse? Then again an elf with a ring of orc/half orc would sure as hell feel cursed. But if we took a clever human rouge, benafiting from the human starting abilities...

    The power of a curse

    Thanks a bunch Greenfield (I knew about the SRD, but I appreciate you trying to help :D) I really was confused about why it was a 'curse' but polymorphing does make a lot more sense. I thought it was a full transformation xD

    Suping up a construct

    Consider how you craft the construct. With no ability to use spells or enchantments on it, if your DM wont let you wish away the barrier, or use spells to bypass it (I know id be iffy as a DM) It is a construct, there are ways to make its body a weapon without suffering negative side effects...

    The power of a curse

    What I was looking at is the rather vauge curse 'change race' in the Dungeon masters Guide. I imagine the initial curse was intended to be something like 'become horse' or an equally irritating thing. It is in the 'drawback' section, the whole section claiming it only works 'while worn' I...

    The rings unique advantage is you can be 'every race' ofcourse. Thanks for the ideas.

    The power of a curse

    Sorry. What I am wondering is about the legality AND xp of this item the thing about the ring is, it doesn't actually change your 'effective level' as its not a permanent change. So no slower levelling from levelling up. This means you could be in a party of 4 an be VERY unbalanced if you took...

    The power of a curse

    So I'm new to D&D, I have played for about a year, and I tend to dip in and out of different books, reading one through I just cant do it :/ (I am 3.5 e) Anyway there is a burning question I was wondering about cursed items If a player wanted to make a magicaly cursed item using wish (not...
