Hi, Thanks for the advice. Did you pin across the wing tabs, and then once they were pinned and epoxied, pin the wing tabs (in between the tabs, coming outward into the body) to the body? Does that make sense? Graphically, I mean something as follows: -----\ -----\ | o | |...

Hello all, I have recently purchased the black dragon mini from WotC. I am hoping to surprise the players at my table with it. Unfortunately, it looks like it is beyond my skills to put it together. Has anyone put this beast together yet? I am having problems with the wings, specifically...

Hi all, I'm looking to pad up my miniature collection. I find Dark Heaven to be excellent minis, GW has some good stuff, and I like some of the old Ral Partha. I am not opposed to looking into new companies either. The gist of this post is: How do I get as many good quality miniatures for as...

Thanks! Hi all, Thanks hong. I had skimmed the FAQ but apparently I should read and not skim. That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to the others, too. I like StealthyMark's version of how things could happen - it could equally happen that you won't get an AoO as he cast...

Thanks for the feedback. However, I was referring more to an AoO + attack versus a single attack and losing the AoO. "Casting a spell" provokes an AoO if you are in a threatened square. If I ready an attack "if he casts a spell", then the minute he starts casting, I attack. But apparently...

This has probably been addressed, but ... If I ready an attack "if he casts a spell", and he does cast a spell, do I also get an AoO since he's casting a spell (thus giving me two attacks)? Also, is it reasonable to be able to ready an action on two conditions? Eg. "starts casting a spell or...

Me (sort of) I had problems earlier today as well, though they seem to have disappeared. Anyhow, I was getting a 500 message, which means "internal server error", and so it was wizards.com server with the problem.

half-cost? I think I read in the DMG that, when creating NPCs and equipping them, count items that could be made by the characters as half-cost when counting against equipment per level. I'm not positive on the half-cost, but I'm positive it's in the NPC section. I would use a similar rule...

Followup Thanks for the feedback :) The charge action works only in limited situations - that is, in a straight line. If the fleeing person is moving a x2, he is probably running through curves and bends, which would prevent any charge action (for example, through the woods he can duck behind...

Hi all, I've had the following problem and I haven't come up with a reasonable way to solve it. I'll give my proposed solution at the end. Enemy A is standing 100 feet from Player B. Enemy A runs away, at X2, 30' = 60'. Player B chases him, at 40', X2 = 80'. At the end of round 1, the...

Thanks! Hi all, Thanks for the help! Darkness' method sounds like the best way to do this.

Hi all, A PC in my group received a negative level from a wight attack, but they managed to fight them off without any deaths in the party. Unfortunately, a later attack with bugbears proved to be fatal to the character who had the negative level. This attack occurred less than 24 hours...

Re: Re: Thanks! Hi all, You're quite right - it's based on wisdom (and hence willpower is based on wisdom). I hesitate to use the word common sense because I live in Ontario and we just had way more than our fair share of "common sense". ;) But yes, the reason I say that the dwarf should...

Thanks! Hi all, Thanks for the info. I had looked through the PHB (obviously not well enough) and could not come across anything, so I house ruled it. Everyone had fun, and that's the main point. An important point, now that I reread it, is that silent -> major image do not create a "touch"...

Thanks! Hi all, Thanks for the info. From now on, I will do the Listen check, and they must beat a DC of 20 to get an AoO. Re: Losing a dex bonus - this is not always conditional per opponent. Being flat-footed, for example, loses your dex bonus until your round comes up, and thus to all...

Hi all, I recently had a session where the duergar enemies, who were invisible, tried to walk past the players. If they moved within 5 feet, I did a move silently vs. listen check. If the player heard the invisible person, then they got an AoO, but I would only tell them that it's "somewhere...

Hi all, I had a session recently that included an illusionist casting "major image" to create a fire elemental, which then attacked the dwarf fighter. The dwarf fighter failed his saving throw. How do you handle illusory damage? I told him he took "x amount of damage", but on my own sheet, I...

Similarly... I had a "prisoner" scenario in a gaming session as well (as DM). The group (CN half-orc Bbn, NG dwarf fighter, NG elf druid, NG elf wizard, N halfling rogue) had cleared out the mine, except for one area. Two pitiful, wretched, half-starved and half-dead kobolds were hiding in a...

Saves That reminds me: whoops. I think I forgot the saves as well. Hmm, and I thought I had read out the monster completely. I don't know why in particular I seem to forget these things. I definitely recall reading the fort save prior to running the encounter. I wonder if maybe it's...

Thanks! Hi all, Thanks for the input. I ran it tonight, and used only one str drain per atatch (since I felt each round was too much). I unfortunately was not as perfectly stringent as I should have been though. I forgot about spell resistance! However, it actually went better without SR...
