    Grasp of the Emerald Claw (possible spoilers)

    --More Spoilers-- My players never found this room. They might have found it by magical means or just by noticing that a room would fit there. Then one of them would have pulled out a pick axe and made his own door. If you want the characters to find it, you could have a hole already there...

    Deathless and the clerics who worship them

    Thanks for the response, and good points. So then it seems that whatever the source of the Undying Court's divine magic is (the dead deathless, the head of the church, the collective faiths of the clerics, or whatever,) doesn't trust the deathless. The assumption I was making is that the...

    Deathless and the clerics who worship them

    More specifically, I'm confused about the (Eberron) Deathless domain. The Deathless domain in only (as far as I know) available to clerics of the Undying Court. Clerics of the Undying Court revere the deathless and get their power from the deathless who have moved on into the afterlife. So...

    Abusing Cleave?

    I don't think it has anything to do with momentum. If you drop someone by stabbing them with your rapier, you can then stab the guy on the other side of you. The way I see it, by dropping one of your opponents, who you'd otherwise have to keep defending against, you've now got some time on...

    Vampire's Dominate vs. Warforged

    A question came up in the game I'm running after a vampire dominated a warforged. A warforged is not a humanoid, so would not be subject to a dominate person spell. But is a vampire's dominate ability the same as the dominate person spell? Or is it it's own ability that has the same affects...

    Whispers of the Vampires Blade opinion?

    I’m running Whispers of the Vampire’s Blade now, and I’m enjoying it. I did have trouble in a few spots. First, I should point out that this is my first time DMing anything more than a one-session adventure. Our regular DM ran FF and SotLW, and is now a player. Spoilers follow: None of...

    DM's: You player just had a great idea...

    My highschool calculus teacher had this rule, except he called it, "since you asked." "Do we have homework today?" "Since you asked." "Do we have a test today?" "Since you asked." "Do we have to know ____ for tomorrow's test?" "Since you asked." And there was no way of knowing if he already...

    Item Requires ___ to Use

    Thank you everyone for all the responses so far. I've been here long enough to know that any thread mentioning the creation of magic items will quickly gain posts explaining that the item creation rules are just guidelines. I should have posted a disclaimer about that so as to save everyone...

    Item Requires ___ to Use

    From the SRD: Is there more to this than I see here, or is it just that simple? When creating an item can you simply make it Wizard only and cut 30% off of the base price? Can you make it Wizard only and require the Spellcraft skill to get 30% and 10% off, and if so, how would those stack...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Tumble

    I used to use this tactic with my heavily armored fighter all the time. But then someone noticed this, from the description of Tumble in the SRD: The character can't use this skill if the character's speed has been reduced by armor, excess equipment, or loot.

    D20 miniatures!!

    I've only used generic super glue to put minis together before, and that hasn't always proved reliable. With something as big as the Netherlord, I figured just super gluing those parts together wouldn't work very well. What is JB weld?

    D20 miniatures!!

    I don't think they'd have any reason to tell you what size minis to use. As long as your minis fit in your squares, it shouldn't matter what the scale is. I mostly buy Reaper, but those Heresy minis are awesome. I want that Netherlord, but I haven't done any pinning before, and that looks...

    Listen to wake from non-magical sleep?

    What would the penalty to Listen checks be while asleep? If you're sleeping and some orcs wander into your camp and start doing battle with whoever's on watch, how hard is it to wake up?
