20d6 a round goes a long ways. Plus there's drowning possibilities too. Have no fear though. The party has access to True Resurrection for Kiko right? Gunther's just a Cohort, There's always another one right around the corner. This is just another reminder that there needs to be a LavaBomb...

<More Self Loathing> Two sessions earlier, (Same Day adventuring as the Spectre/Cleric/Annis Battle) Same Level 11 Cleric, 4 Medium Elementals (One of each prime type), 2 Dark Nagas, 2 Flesh Golems, 3 Minotaur Barbarian 2/Rogue 2's, 8 Ogres War 2's (Just enough to give them no experience), 8...

<self loathing> I am not a soft DM. I play for keeps. When in position for a Coup De Gras, I take it. My Villains always flank. Incorporeal undead, strike out from the walls. Dragons always buff with at least Shield, Mage Armor, and Shield of Faith, I put the Elder Tojanida encounter in...

Thanks for the compliment. I don't have really good dialogue notes for the Sunless Citadel sessions, but once we get past there, things should pick up on the characterization side. So hang with me. I'll get in a rhythm eventually, and things do get better. Or worse depending on your perspective...

Part 3: Only idots confuse Wolves and Dogs. The party set out at noon from Oakhurst, following the old road southwest. At just about sunset they noticed that it was about to dead end into a canyon some five miles hence. “We should set camp,” Kiernan said as he turned to Xana. A small fire was...

Chapter 1, Part 2. Part 2: As Faerunian as Apple Pie. It had been three days since Kiernan and Pel had left Baldur’s Gate. And Pel was quite quiet. Kiernan had sized him up over the past few days, and he was one thick priest, in more ways than one. In addition to being kind of slow, and...

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Decent into the Sunless Citadel Part 1 - The Gong, his Thief, their Druid and her Wolf While the Birthless Plague was a worldwide stain on Lathander’s reputation, it was not the sole cause of pain for Lyryn, Dawn Bringer of the Morning Lord. Pel was the shame of the...

Prologue Prologue - How about a Nice Game of Chess? Crusade slowly unlatched the clasp on his tunic, and fingered a solitary chain around his neck. Pulling it forward, he handled a single Red Chess Piece. Thirty years ago today he had personally carved the Knight from the remains of a very...

Structure Let me add a few notes about the structure of the campaign and this story hour. This campaign is played by the 3.5 ruleset contained in the SRD. As the SRD is updated, so are the rules. No splatbooks were allowed, as the players felt they had a better chance surviving the smaller the...

Foreword: I came to EN World about 4 years ago. I had recently moved across country, gotten married, and decided I wanted to look for a D+D group. I went to the Gamers seeking Gamers forum, replied to a post, and joined a group that met about once a month. But I wasn’t satisfied. So I logged...

Yay! Great Update! (Contact), I noticed that you no longer have all the neato XP and Treasure tools used to track your campaigns. It's not fair hinting about bitter, bitter ends, and not allowing those of us who can't control our need for information and a conclusion to jump ahead and get the...

Not to nitpick but... Heaven knows I was one of the people emailing and calling studios when Peter and Fran were doing their whirlwind tour of Hollywood trying to get someone to buy the rights away from Miramax, and the ill-fated 2 movie deal. I'll always love Bob Shaye for suggesting to...

True Necromancer Underpowered. This would be the only way I could see this Prestige Class being Playable. Sticking with the straight True Necromancer starting at 7th level would be supremely unplayable for long periods of time. In my campaign, my best player is playing a Mystic Theurge. He...

Oh please let it be Titan, please let it be Titan, please let it be Titan. Anyway, Titan is a fabulous boardgame. The more mathmatical analysis you do with it, the more amazed you become at how perfectly balanced it is. BTW, you can download a pretty decent Java version of Titan at...

My .02$ I am a volunteer at a local Youth Group. A gaming group somehow formed out a chunk of the volunteers, that I DM. One of the Youth's dad actually worked as a Manager at the FLGS in town, and eventually, asked me if I wanted to join his new group. I declined, explaining that I already...

Hmmmm If I ever magically transported my Players to Faerun and made them 0th level characters, I would give them a little help. First, I'd let them assign their own stats as I'm not going to get involved in the "you're too fat for a 14 dex!" arguement. Second, I'd have each of them teleported...

If a Lich is stuck in an Antimagic field, what are the results? Obviously he loses all spellcasting ability and Supernatural effects. Wat I'm curious is, if the antimagic field negates the connection the Lich has with the Phylactery, while the lich is in the field. Similarly, what happens if...

Actually in my campaign, which will be coming to Story Hour soon, NPC's in the Sunless Citadel often quoted Heydricus' rules of adventuring as a side joke to the young, inexperienced adventurers. Now about to enter the Crater Ridge Mines in RttToEE, the PC's are regularly quoting them, almost...

I'm DMing a Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, based in the Forgotten Realms, and I have a first time player joining my party, desiring to play a Dwarven Paladin, focusing on Mounted Combat. He'll be entering the campaign at level 7. For those of you familiar with the adventure, he'll be...

Another idea I tend to use -10 as the baseline for death. Alternately, a character can take his Con modifier (Usually +2 as we use point buy.. ) times his character level to replace this if it is higher. NPC's get the same treatment. I'm aware this allows fighters and barbarians to have...
