How do you deal with situations where one character dips into the bag to spend his money on ale, whores and gambling, while another builds a temple or a magical laboratory?

That's an important statement, but "as long as the party as a whole is balanced" can mean different things to different players. Besides, this way of dividing the treasure is heavily dependent upon the DM of giving away 'customized' treasure (magic items especially). I play in a campaign where...

Woodelf, I think you are reversing the problem. The rules (and the dice) in the game are IMO used for one thing only, resolution of conflict. Whenever a player wants their character achieve some result and I doubt their character's abilities to do so automatically, there is a conflict. Sure...

I don't think classes in general are role-played badly. If a player likes to play a brutish no questions asked warrior, he will choose a barbarian, if a player likes to play a shady type constantly pestering others, he will choose a rogue. I have more trouble with the reverse: players that...

Roleplaying a character with high charisma is very dependent on the DM. When one of my players has a character with high charisma and they meet NPCs, I use several tricks to simulate the character's high charisma (even though the player might be lacking in this department): - NPCs always assume...

Funny, when I read the intepretation I immediately had visions of player's using the same argument to be allowed to make the extra attack when they are: 1. held 2. unconscious 3. pinned 4. sleeping 5. dead Talkin' about breaking the rules :D

Oops, posted to wrong thread. Good Yugoloth conversions, BTW.

Not quite. An golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that ALLOWS spell resistance. Golems do not have spell resistance. So any reference to how spell resistance works does not apply to golems, including the voluntary dropping of SR. Note that this means that a Golem can never travel...

See it like this, if you get a Strength bonus (from two Bull's Strength's for example) and you receive ability damage to your Strength score, your strength drops, because the ability damage does not affect the spell, the spell affects your ability, and your abi+ity gets affected by the ability...

I have the opposite problem. My character has maxed out his diplomacy from the start of the campaign and he has trouble getting a good room at the inn, because the DM doesn't seem to like the skill that much. Says its 'too easy'. Anyway, I use of formula to decide the availability of a...

Generally not. I have been DM'ing the same campaign for the same group for 7 years now. I insist on 100% attendance, because it is a story based campaign, and attending every session is essential. I throw a multitude of storyline related items at my players, clues, prophecy's, interesting...

Scenario: A 13th lvl wizard is wearing an Amulet of Health +4, he has cast statue on himself 1 hour ago and currently has 10 hp left. If he changes to his stone statue form, does the Amulet of Health cease to function (thereby bringing him to -16 hp and killing him)? What if the same wizard...

Scenario: A Lawful Good 13th lvl wizard uses a Limited Wish to duplicate the effect of the 5th lvl Cleric spell Righteous Might. Righteous Might from the SRD: Does the wizard gain DR 10/good, 10/evil, no DR, must he choose what DR he gains, is this dependent on alignment?

I don't know, but ever since my LG cleric didn't get any reward from that foolish Solar named St. Sollars (from the Bloodstone series) he used his gate spell once a day to summon the Solar and make him clean the toilet. Until 3.5 came along, the toilet never looked better. :D

I dunno, but if I were a player I would have taken this as a HINT from the DM: do something now, or your fellows are going to die! NPCs are making facial expressions all the time, but DM's rarely draws attention to it, but if a DM does I will intrepret it as a clear-cut hint. Suppose two...

Khas, from what I have read I don't feel you are addicted. Having an addiction is not a matter of how much time you spent on something, or how much fun you are having doing it, but what function it has in your life. I always use the following simple rule; You are addicted to something when NOT...

What books have you read, what movies did you see? I have hardly ever seen any hero dying a 'dramatic' death within 6 seconds/a single action. The real drama comes from drawing out the moment of death, it comes from the hero or his allies having multiple chances to avert his death, it comes from...

The whole cover issue doesn't matter, because if the attack misses due to the AC bonus provided by cover, it hits the cover instead. And if the creature is using itself as cover.....

Balance was no too bad, expect for the whole 1 day/level duration thing. One particular cleric in my campaign regularly cast Deeper Darkness (3.0) on a stone, and as soon as combat occured, he revealed the stone, making everything dark. Then he kept on summoning things, like Thoqqua's or Dire...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Confused about AoO's on mages The idiocy of this rule is that it is 'somewhat' hard to imagine. You make a single move 30' away. Nothing happens. Everything is fine. Now you decide what you are going to do. Attack, cast a spell, make another move, who knows? In the last...
