    Help me capture my party.

    The Sage listens to your predicament, and goes off to rummage in his storeroom, coming back ten minutes later. "Behold", he said. "Grench Surrender Cheese. It will make you much easier to capture.. but much, much harder to kill. They won't suspect it, and this should give you the edge you need...

    An aging blacksmith has three sons, a beautiful daughter, and a young wife who recently became ill. He knows she was fine in the morning before she started talking to a gypsy, and that the kitten she obtained from the gypsy doesn't seem to want to leave her presence for any reason. He fears...

    D&D 4E Women in 4E

    It is very pleasant to take advantage of ready access to magic which allows one to alter the appearance of one's character, so as to confuse one's enemies, look more stylish, or simply to disguise the fact that the last fight you were in may have been a tad strenuous. Hat of Disguise, best 1800...

    ToB:Bo9S Tank / City Watch Character Build

    A Devotion-tracked Crusader should do it pretty nicely, with a bit of White Raven and Stone to taste.The feat Stone Power will help, as will that Extra Granted Maneuver feat. Iron Guard's Glare is a very fine stance for keeping the foes locked on to you nicely, so I highly recommend it. Good...

    D&D 4E Should hit points continue to be generated randomly in 4e?

    I like options. If I have a few new options for how to determine my character's hit points when we level up, I'll definitely be interested in seeing how useful they are. If I can, say, burn an AP "ahead of time" to turn a below-average HP roll into a maximum HP roll, that would make me...

    (Quick Request) Name of a Magic Maul

    Resolve. With a permanent silence around the head, so it is a silent resolve.

    How do you reduce treasure accounting

    Someone takes Leadership. Obtain an Artificer cohort/ally ("best buddy", if that's what he prefers) with Appraise and other appropriate skills. Get a funnel. Pour money, goods, and magic items no one cares much for into one end of the funnel: Useful magic items come out the other end...

    Are you going to GenCon? Are you a merchant by chance? Would you allow your paladin

    The Grandmother Test -My Paladin wants said the word damn once, should he lose his paladinhood? Were the circumstances suitable for passing the Grandmother Test? i.e., were there to have been a kindly, gentle soul present, easily shocked by blue language, was it likely that she would have...

    Help me defend (or attack) this kingdom (long)

    As a player, I'd theoretically be looking for some way to get all the Druids on my side, perhaps by recovering some relic of Obad-Hai and returning it to the Ancient Grove of Wisdom. That kind of shift would completely alter the terms by which war could be fought, or even survived. It's the...

    Used Items For Sale?

    The Big 6 retain 80% of their value, since they are always in demand. Outside that, 50% value is reasonable and customary.

    Macguffin quest without a macguffin, how would you respond?

    This would probably lead to an Epic campaign, focused on the goal, "Make the MacGuffin". And then that whole "Chasing Down The YOAE" campaign arc, four or five very satisfying sessions in which the players can possibly recover lost allies while hunting. Tying up a few loose ends in ways that...

    Vecna: demigod, god, or lich?

    "Power At Any Cost", indeed. Remember, guys, this is why we have Mage Hand, and portable extradimensional containment options. Found A Piece? (the checklist): 1. Don't touch it (No, not even if your pee-pee is missing.) 2. Stick it in the P. hole so it can't whisper to you. 3. Get it to an...

    The problem of keeping magic items scarce...

    Get the characters to look into the reasons behind magic items being so scarce. They may already be curious, so fan their imaginations alight with hints, clues, and ancient maps. Seems like a logical quest series to me. :)

    Gatorfolk

    It feels like it has a lot of potential, especially if you select a Ranger with ambush tendencies. Hide, throw a big spear, wade into close combat through the swampy water.. I can see "grapple them into the water and drown them" being a potent tactic. :]

    Getting Rid of the Bard

    Useful cover identity It feels like this would allow a Thief to act like a Bard, look like a Bard.. with a few Feat expenditures, and the temptation to assume a role which has been considered somewhat "Roguish" anyway. A good experimental path for a high-Charisma Thief. (Those can be so much...

    Wild Mage [PEACH]

    I like the Nifft-modified version. The first version seemed to both possess too many luck feats, and provide a very high likelihood that the Wild Mage would "fail to awaken" one morning, after the party had had enough of the mysterious retargeting effect that was protecting the Mage. Casting in...
