Tired of having politics and religion be taboo subjects? Tired of having friendly, peacekeeping mods shut down threads whenever you start telling people exactly where they can put their idiotic opinions? Want a place where you will be required to back up your opinions or else be declared a...

You know, this is something I've always wondered about. Allow me to present a scenario: We have a 5th level Fighter with 14 CON and 50 hp. Let's say now that he loses 4 points of CON, due to poison or whatever. He loses 2 hp per level, and now has 40 hp, right? I think we can all agree on...

This is the way I do it, too. It's just simpler, IMHO.

But he knows very well the spells that he doesn't want to get rid of. I think he should be able to target the "other" spell, even if he doesn't know exactly what spell it is.

Also, if the poison reduced her to 2 Con, and she then removed the amulet, she would suddenly die.

Re: Improved Initiative. I think going early on in a round is over-rated. I find it easier, as a spellcaster, to use my spells to great effect once the battle is joined and I can spot weaknesses to exploit.

Crap, that's right. A +1 bonus is hardly worth it. If they'd increased the benefit from Greater Spell Focus to +2 or +3, then Spell Focus might be worth it as a prerequisite, but as it is I wouldn't take it any more.

Type "Random Maze Generator" into Google and you'll get tons of options. Here's one I liked: http://www.billsgames.com/mazegenerator/ And a small example maze:

You didn't say what feats your wizard already has. I'm particularly fond of spending time scribing scrolls in order to minimize the primary weaknesses of a wizard - too few spells per day and required daily spell preparation. Any spell that is a lifesaver in the right circumstances, but for...

I used a couple of bodaks once. Pass through an arch into an evil temple and two hidden panels opened, letting them out. I had left a hint enscribed on the arch, something like "If you are faithful to the dark lord, pass safely, else look ye into the eyes of death." That encounter killed 2 PCs.

They went to go see the Mayor, the Halfling child worried and crying faintly as they left his home. The “Mayer,” it turned out, was simply the local priest, a friendly halfling who explained what was going on. While delighted to have the child returned to the community, he admitted that they...

Though unable to do the writing for you, I can offer services as an professional editor, for a small fee.

One of the things I love about D&D is that, not only is it a different game depending on what group you're looking at, but it can be a different game at different times within the same group. There's the wargame-combat game. There's the go shopping game. There's the improv acting game. There's...

Note: I really like the Lysorn character, and it is with deep annoyance that I must report that, after the very first session of the game, his player mysteriously vanished, and we never saw him again. We got one email that he would be unable to make it next week, and subsequently all of our...

The party decides they’ve had enough of this cult, and hope that by stealing all their money they’ve crippled the group. They inform the city guard, who could really care less, of the situation. Asking the Halfling boy where he’s from always produces the same result: “Popowan! I want to go...

It's easier to teach to newbies, IMHO.

Can't skeletal winged beasties still fly? If a character has 20 lbs (IIRC) they can choose either to walk along the bottom of the water or swim. So maybe a skeleton can swim or walk, as directed?

I'm generally pretty good at winging it. I have run published modules, within which the PCs ran off on totally divergent tangents from the prepared plot. When I tell them afterwards that I pretty much abandoned the module a third of the way through, they look surprised and say they couldn't...

This sum-up is much less narrative and brief than the above posts. It will continue like this until we catch up with current events. The party discovered at the Temple that the Sirocco’s Kiss is a ship. The priest is familiar with him because he religiously donated at the Temple whenever he...
