You know, that is a very good suggestion. I think I will ask him why he believes that the current campaign is enjoyable. Like I said, I have thought of simply quitting the group. Unfortunately, I like the folks I game with as individuals. Even the DM, believe it or not. He just simply has a...

Good point. I'm not sure how the other characters will react. Although, if if is properly role-played I think that they may very well understand. Just a bit of background. We have all played D&D since 1st Edition, although we have only been playing together for the past 3 years. I know for...

Not sure I quite understand. Please explain. Methos.

Who cares if I get lynched? I never liked them anyway. Just kidding. Getting into this CN alignment. Hee hee.

To tell you the truth, my line of thinking is to do the following since I'm role-playing my character that he is now bitter, disillusioned, hates the world that hasn't rewarded him for his heriocs to this point, etc.: Become a selfish individual who is primarily looking out for himself now. He...

Hmmm.... Interesting. This has been a bit of a pet peeve for me, and I haven't really understood why. I'm beginning to understand that this really isn't a low-magic world, but the players simply don't have access to the magic. Example: As a 5th level character I would think that I would have...

Yes. That is probably good advice. One other note, when we finally defeated the Mummy (not really a true Mummy, but a modified creature with special powers) at the end and laid the creature to rest, we found out that the creature at that point was I believe CR 14. One of the other players...

By the way, how did you handle the spell pages being soaked in a river? I had a similar situation awhile back, but the DM really wasn't happy with the solution that we had since there really isn't anything that clarifies water damage to magic pages? Essentially a spellbook is a magic item of a...

Actually it is completely destroyed. Eaten by us in wererat form. Fun stuff. I'm not sure, but I think even our 5 skull DM is feeling a bit sheepish about the whole situation since we are only 5th level. Cheers

I actually have considered turning the character completely evil. It actually would be appropriate in the circumstances, I think. If I was a vindictive person, I could end the existing campaign pretty quickly by just killing all of the other PC's. However, since we have never had a party...

Yup. Mummy Rot, and Lycanthrope on the same character who is only 5th level. We have officially raised the DM to the status of 5 skulls (the max), since the party's opinion and long term experience with the DM merits such a decree. I actually told the DM that I really didn't think I could even...

Cruel DM Just a bit of follow up to the original e-mail since there have been a few questions. I do appreciate all of the responses. The other character's death actually was the result of a real melee, so that wasn't arbitrary. I do have a level of fighter and a level of cleric (taken...

Here's the scenario: My character (a wizard) is cursed with lycanthrope (wererat) while in a dungeon along with another party member. The party is unable to get out in time before the full moon and the 2 characters cursed with lycanthrope change and are uncontrollable in that first night. As...

Nice. Sounds like something my DM would do. I play a "battle wizard" currently with a level of cleric and a level of fighter, but have now taken 7 levels of wizard. I have learned that no matter how buff I can make myself, or my fellow PC's, there is a major problem when any of us get...

Enchantment it is!! Ok. After spending an exhaustive amount of time over the past few days reviewing spells mostly in the PHB since my DM effectively considers all of these spells "common" with a few exceptions, and all other spells from other sources as "forgotten" so they have to be...

Spell Focus - Thanks Folks, Thanks for all of your responses. I will be taking Spell Focus in at least one school, but it will be very difficult to decide which one(s). It would seem like the best choices for me will be Enchantment, Necromancy, and also Evocation. I've reconsidered my...

Folks, I'm playing a wizard in one campaign, and I'm trying to decide if taking Spell Focus (and eventually Greater Spell Focus) is worth it as a feat. In looking at the various schools, there often appear to be very few spells (particularly at some levels) to which having a higher DC would...

Reply to Romotre Thanks for your replies. Right now, my total bonus to alchemy checks is 6. Of course, at the next level, I can increase that since I will have 6 more skill points at the next level.

I'm going to be at the 6th character level very soon, and will be a 1/1/4 Cleric/Fighter/Wizard at that point. Going forward, I will be taking all of my levels in Wizard (no consideration of prestige classes at this point). I am undecided as to whether I should take the Brew Potion Feat or...
