    Natural Armor

    Interesting. This is the first I have heard of such an interpretation. All of the groups I have played with have treated an Amulet of Natural Armor +x as just a natural armor bonus, and thus would not stack if you had a natural armor bonus yourself. I just looked up the Amulet in both DMGs...

    Aiming Fireballs soi they don't hit the party?

    A favorite quote around my Table is "Combat is dynamic". What that reminds my players of is there is alot of stuff going on that is not covered by the rules. Fighters are assumed to be making several swings/misses/parries in a round, not just the 1 to 4 allowed by their Base Attack. A typical...

    Travelling DMs: What do you tote your game in?

    What do you use for a "miniatures box"? I've tried to find something decent to carry mine in, but have been unsuccessfull.

    Good rant on the news page

    I hereby go on record as saying THANKS A MILLION! for what you do here. I have ENworld as my homepage for cryin' out loud. And I am trying to become a community supporter as well...

    Community Wealth Question

    Guess I should have posted this here instead of the General Forum... According to the DMG (pg 137), a community's ready cash amount is calculated by taking 1/2 GP limit and multplying this by 1/10 of the community's population. This is the amount of liquid cash on hand and the amount of...

    Community Wealth Question

    According to the DMG (pg 137), a community's ready cash amount is calculated by taking 1/2 GP limit and multplying this by 1/10 of the community's population. This is the amount of liquid cash on hand and the amount of resources available at any one time. My question then, is this: how often...

    Is there an SRD for the d20 Gamma World? How do the rules fit in with the Community wealth rating from the DMG?

    Telepathy Question

    Telepathy is generally only a form of communication. Unless specifically stated, it does not allow the reading of thoughts. In the case you've mentioned, the pseudodragon mentally addresses the elf, and the elf would respond by speaking.

    Beating invisibility

    I have to agree with Hong. In the Campaign I've just started I have banned the spells Greater Invisibility and Fly because as soon as they are able to, every spellcaster that's been run in one of my campaigns has taken these spells. This combo takes out most of the counters mentioned in...

    DM's Duty

    Tell the PLAYERS exactly what their CHARACTERS saw. If you can't resonably tell what they saw then assume that everyone 'took a 10' on their Sleight of Hand vs Spot checks. In other words take the Rogue's skill check and apply a Spot check from the others (you could modify the roll +2/-2 for...

    OA Samuri

    IIRC there's a version of Samurai in the Complete Warrior as well. However, my advice on this particular character is, absolutely not, for a variety of reasons. The use of the following "low" skills is considered dishonorable: Bluff (when knowingly telling falsehoods), Craft (other than...

    Expanded Psionics Handbook Play Use?

    The Erudite class from the Dragon is akin to the Wizard spellcasting class, they get their powers from study and formula rather than raw natural ability. (the Psion is akin to the Sorcerer)

    How do you pronounce "Drow"?

    For those of us new to the boards, does anyone have that origin explanation? I for one, would be interested in seeing it.

    DM Question regarding Magic Armor

    Question for you DMs out there: Do you allow, as is, those armor qualities that only have a Gold Piece equivalent (such as Cold Resistance, Improved; +42,000gp), thus making it possible for a character to have a set of armor with much more than the standard +10 worth of enhancements? OR Do...

    Again another example of CHA as dump stat

    I have lamented this 'dump stat syndrome' for years. In my campaigns I raise the book price of magic and masterwork items by 150%, and apply a (Cha mod * 10)% subtraction to the cost when a PC buys something. I still have my little dumpers, but it has made some players think twice…

    DMs against the Magical Wal-Mart

    I DM for a group that happens to like a medium to high magic campaign in the new D&D3.5 system, and I am generally OK with that (this is NOT a discussion on low vs high!). However, I am very much against the whole "magical Wal-Mart" idea wherein the PCs can merely go into a shop and spend their...
