Please see: Flying Camel Brigade for Pielorinho's retelling of our campaign's camel dealings. As a side note, our DM used a very goofy voice when speaking for the camels, adding to the hilarity quite expertly.

So far everyone likes the idea, but no one has any real experience with them? Anyone have any thoughts on how a specially made class (for an NPC) could interact interestingly with affiliations?

I'm talking about Affiliations from PHBII. Has anyone used them, and to what effect? Have you used the ones straight out of the book? Have you made up your own? Have you adjusted the mechanic at all? Made house rules? The more info you can give me the better. Also, I'm interested in putting...

The artifact that gave him immortality is also a terribly powerful weapon of destruction. The artifact can instantly kill any one the operator designates, at the cost of a humanoid life, currently attached to the artifact. If an immortal is attached, however, it is only extremely painful to the...

I agree with you here Daniel. From what I know about the campaign, your targets are all going to be willing to have this cast on them, its the enchantment you're breaking that is against being removed. It might be more work for the DM, but perhaps you could ask that the spell requires a caster...

A situation just came up in our game, where we will probably be selling some loot found in a dungeon crawl to some NPC adventurers. I asked our DM if, since we would be selling these items to an NPC equivalent of us, would they be paying full price? He said no, half price. Now, I'm not trying...

There's two ways to do it, one is with wordplay, and the other is just dressing the part. With wordplay: I would have the male dressed in disheveled clothes, shirt buttoned up wrong, hair a mess, and lipstick marks all over the shirt and face. He would be a "Done John" (the male customer of a...

My character just came across a set of enchanted vampire skin studded leather, and a Cloak of the Bat. The vampire skin was described as being pitch black, and the cloak is equally dark. The last few sessions have also seen my character's skin go grey from some nasty spell. In the past he was...

I do have Improved Unarmed Strike from being a Half Elemental. I should have stated that originally. I do use Power Attack alot... Generally I Power Attack for 5 every round. Leap Attack was a consideration, as is Greater Weapon Focus. My character is definately a frontline, massive damage...

So we just went up to 17th level last session, and I asked my DM if it was alright to take one of the 2 feats I'll get at 18 this level instead, to spread the power increase. My character is a Barbarian 5/Earth Elemental Paragon 3/Fighter 9. He is half elf, half earth elemental, which results...

To the parlaiment, with sweeping gestures and a bellowing voice:"The stewardship of a kingdom has no leniency for your childish dreams of a departed brother miraculously returning from the dead, yet you, dear princess, have failed to leave the nursery." Turn to Nelaria, lowers his voice "So in...

Simple and to the point, does an item familiar have an affect on a character's wealth? I'd imagine the original item's value would count, but sapience, senses and communication would not. However, I'm not sure if special abilities would. I could see the Lesser and Greater Power prerequisite...

Actually, if the weapon has moved up a size category, its weight would be increased by a factor of 8, no?

Actually I average 42.5 damage on a sccessful hit. Doubling that would still be a fairly decent amount of damage. Since the attack would be at my highest attack bonus, I could add a bit more power attack without lowering my chance to hit by much. My attack bonus is +32 while raging. My damage is...

So last gaming session I had the pleasure of doling out a ridiculous amount of damage with my melee optimized character. He's a barbarian 5/half-elemental paragon 3/fighter 7, swings a big axe, and thats pretty much the gist of it. Since I don't have alot of experience playing D&D, let alone at...

Could always use the Battle Sorcerer variant in Unearthed Arcana. Give up 1 known spell per level and 1 cast per spell level per day, and gain d8 hit die and cleric BAB. Think that would work excellently with a half dragon template.

Has anyone else seen a dancing sword at work? Particularly at high levels (14-16)? I'm a little worried that the lack of modifiers to the attack bonus is going to make the sword really cool looking but not very effective, specifically against things with high AC or damage reduction...

So, is the Base Attack Bonus the only thing that modifies the attack of the sword? What about Weapon Focus, Strength, Weapon Specialization? Does it have iterative attacks, or does it attack only once per round? How has your experience with dancing weapons been? My character just got one, and...

If you didn't notice, I said that me taking the leadership feat was the DM's idea, and that he helped design the cohort. We were suffering from a lack of an arcane magic caster amongst our high level group. Going up against a government full of wizards without any arcane magic has been...

Thanks for the responses. The cult idea while ego-boosting might be a bit much. If there is a legend of my character, it has probably been retold in hushed tones and as more of a fairy-tale at this point than anything historical. Though perhaps some group fond of the story might put 2 and 3...
