    craft(bowmaking) question

    Do you allow the archer to retrieve and mend arrows he has already shot? If so than this can become a moot question. How many arrows does the archer fire between buying new ones? Have the pack mule (either animal or strong PC) carry 5 quarrels. That is 100 arrows. That should be more than...

    Discreet help

    Summoning of creatures is your best option. You do not need to boost the spy's levels. The flanking bonus itself is a great help. Also have the bad guys attack some of the summoned creatures. That means less attacks on the PCs. Have the spy either have scrolls or a wand of summoning. But...

    Map-making with what skills?

    During the 1st half of the 1800's, the military had there engineers make the maps. Cartography does not necessarily translate as a skill that one uses to put real life contours to paper. I would use the profession: Engineer skill to understand the terrain & Craft: cartography skill to put it...

    Brute Squads

    I always liked the cleave/whirwind feat faimily. Also the limit of 8 who can surrond you. It helps keep the tatics on both sides in check. But then I do not DM huge armies either.

    Player abusing the rules? [long]

    One thing that has been left out and may be assumed, but you should still mention it. All past transgressions are forgotten. What ever happened happened, no future saying "we did ____ before this way."

    I updated my e-mail account but my old account did not disappear? Is the database still a little buggy? I am in the VA portion.

    After 20', does light just fizzle out?

    We make it simple and have everybody in 5' increments. We have a checkerboard map and every thing must be in a single square (or more for obvious reasons) That means some at the 21' mark is considered 25' away. Certain realistic rules are fun, but most just complicate matters.

    when a player does not make it....

    Let me come at it from another direction. The DM keeps all of the character sheets. When a player does not show a person who is will play the PC. Every week someone can not make it for one reason or another. We feel this is the best way. The DM is not SOL if a key person does not play...

    The Halfling Bard

    With your 7 str never ever get into melee. That is your biggest weakness. Yes it is obvious but many people, ignore the obvious. As mentioned eariler, be the support guy. I have seen our bard give our barbarian bulls str a lot. the bard sits down and cowers in the back while the barbarian...

    Tumbling to flank

    I agree with exodus. It is wrong to hinder a players strategy is such an obvious manner. If someone puts skills into tumbling then they know how to not be disoriented when they are done.

    Fleet sizes?

    Let me add, that when ships were built they lasted a life time. What has shortened the life span of ships is not age, but technology. Even though the ships were made of wood, routine maintence kept the ships lasting a long time. I say this, because old ships could be several decades old...

    Character training

    I believe you will not find anything official. It is the DMs perogative to deal with training as they see fit. Personnally, I feel it is additional flavor and is not worth getting into arguements over.

    Neverwinter Settlement

    Call me a cynic. But I believe NWN is dead. It seems like it is all smoke and mirrors. Legal mumbo jumbo. How long have I waited for it so far? How much longer do I have to wait? I will meet some one have kids, and their kids kids will probably be still waiting. I keep clicking these...
