Poor Krusk One thing I noticed was the goblin priest's coup de grace seemed awfully quick. Doesn't a full-round action go off right before your next action? When the goblin lined up his shot on Krusk, the rest of the heroes should have had a round to interfere, but the DM rolled damage and...

One additional point to remember is that the lance is the preferred weapon of mounted combatants for reason: it has 10' reach. If you have a heavy lance, there is no reason to ride next to the target when you can whack him from 10' to the left or right. This also protects against readied...

I have just moved to Del Rey Beach from Tallahassee, and I already suffer the pangs of gamer withdrawal. I am an experienced DM, leaving behind a 2-year old campaign, and I hope to join a good group as either player or storyteller. D&D, Wheel of Time, Star Wars, or just about anything else...

One of the drawbacks of multiple empowering is that when adding half the original random amount, you have to round down. For large random numbers, Fireball for instance, this is insignificant, but when you want to empower a buffing spell like Cat's Grace, rounding down is a substantial loss...

Another way to get around the problem is to tack on yet another metamagic feat: Delay Spell. That way the cleric could cast his real spell undetected a few rounds ahead of time, then at the appropriate moment pretend to cast the false spell. In fact, depending on what the scenario is, the...

As I recall, the enhancement bonuses on bows and arrows DO stack, as a special exception, much like armor and shields. Even if the extra dice don't add up (and I'm not sure they wouldn't, since the example you cited with energized bows shouldn't really apply, as they grant the energy damage to...

Here's an interesting query: If a weapon has both the Bane and the Defending properties, can the wielder sink the extra +2 enhancement bonus into AC when facing the appropriate creatures? Another: would the bonuses and extra damage dice from a Bane bow stack with those from a Bane arrow? A...

On a similar topic, could someone with Boots of Speed get rid of a Slow effect by activating the boots for 1 round, then re-activate them and be Hasted as normal? Or does the "act as though Hasted" wording mean that the boots don't actually cast a Haste spell?

Lazybones, you certainly have a gift for this stuff. I just read the entire story thus far (a verrry slow day at work) and must agree with all the other posters, you are doing an excellent job! Might our heroes be lucky enough to see some of the fabled thunder-lizards of Chult once they get...

I believe that a crowbar would only give a +2 circumstance bonus, since one of the listed bonuses in the PHB is +2 for having the perfect tools. Since a crowbar is perfect for opening most doors and other such items, this is the most applicable way to look at it. Think of it as a masterwork...

One rational explanation for Lidda getting to sneak attack while in the gut is that she did, indeed, have a flank. As I recall, a creature is flanked if a line between 2 opponents passes through it, so if Lidda is inside and Krusk is in melee outside, then the purple worm is _always_ between...

Creeping Cold is also a great anti-caster spell, better than Melf's Acid arrow since it a) doesn't require an attack roll, b) has a longer duration at low levels, and c) deals more continuous damage, thus forcing more difficult Concentration checks. While druids and clerics are more likely to...
