    Portals-like spell; requesting feedback

    Thanks again for the reply :) You are actually right about the contradiction. I didn't think that either you get severed or you stranded in astral space. Either way, you need to use the spell with care. Yes it is meant for short distance travel. What level would you put this spell?

    I have an idea for an adventure

    Read the script of the PC game "Singularity". I'm making an adventure based on that game. Basically, they enter the past and save someone from a fire. Someone else shouts at them,telling not to do it. It's later discovered that the shouting person was actually one of them from the future...

    Portals-like spell; requesting feedback

    The wording may be a bit off, as english is not my main language. What i meant is that you do not have to travel in extradimensional space while traversing a portal. There is 0-distance between the two points. You are almost never "in transit" unless you specifically hang there in the middle of...

    Is casting a spell considered a threatening action?

    Well, i'd say no, especially since the charmed person would regard the caster as friendly, and would not see him as "threatening". That said, if you point your finger at the target saying "i'm disintegrating you now!" then casting the spell should break the charme.

    Portals-like spell; requesting feedback

    Hi all. I'd like to request feedback about this spell i've designed. It is borrowed from Portal - the game. As a note, in my campaign all teleportation magic does not work (planes are not correctly aligned, and teleport and the likes send you thousand of miles into space). However, fluffy wise...

    Dungeons map designer tool

    It must have been about 3-4 months ago. I dont remember exactly what was the problem, only that it took very long to modify a room that i'd previously made. However, i will try again with that software and see how it goes.

    Dungeons map designer tool

    Thanks for the reply. I already tried that tool before (i didnt' mention it because i didn't remember the name). However i found it really slow and awkward to use, so i discarded it :\ The map "coloring" part was really bad. I got a few walls wrong with that tool, and changing the walls around...

    Hi there. I am i need to create a dungeon map for an adventure i'm designing. Previously, i used Smartdraw to do this, but it took a long time to create even simple maps. Now i am to design a bigger underground complex (a fallout vault) and i'm in need of something that is fast and easy to...

    Guns and Deafening

    I advise against putting a rule there, even in small steps. Even if is is a -2 to perception on the round after firing the gun vs a fort save. Would you REALLY want to roll fort save EVERY TIME the gunslinger shoots in a dungeon? To save against a -2 to perception? I'd say, give me the -2, i...

    What did you do when Gary Gygax died, ingame?

    I was reading up something on Gary Gygax, the Creator, on wikipedia. I discovered Mordenkainen, Tenser, and others, were some of his characters. I didnt' have any idea! I discovered it while browsing the Circle of Eight forum (houses a mod team for Temple of elemental evil, the pc game). This...

    Is DMing its own reward?

    I do keep logs of every session, as well as a detailed story of everyhing that happened, and chronology. However it is all in italian :( You can google translate the site i gave in my post, if you are interested, but the quality will not be great.

    Is DMing its own reward?

    Well i've been DMing a campaign for close to 6 years non-stop now. Ingame, 20 years have passed since the first characters have been made. I have a paladin PC that started at age 25, now he's 42 and getting old. I built the world myself, with all the politics and stuff. The players have changed...

    Poor DM choice

    I'd love to be your DM! I mean, if you get to destroy your own gameplay and abuse the DM who was willing to make you play, he has ALL the rights to screw with you. If i was your dm, as a starter, i'd put you in a locked room with a CR 15 demon which will knock you all unconscious and steal all...

    A new Planescape record - visiting 7 outer planes in one session

    Thanks for the links, i'm having a look! Maybe i'll finally understand why dustmen don't commit suicide or just get themselves killed, for example :P

    1001 minor traits for magic swords

    204) Blade of the Master: This sword confers the wearer DR 0.5/adamantium. Legends say that only some people actually get any benefit from this sword. Usually, heroes never get the bonus, while people that support or oppose those heroes, usually do. (Hint: round up for NPC's, round down for...

    A new Planescape record - visiting 7 outer planes in one session

    Nice post there. I am also preparing a Planescape campaign to be run in september. I'd be interested in the problems you presented on the planes -- i fear the hardest thing for me in planescape will be to correctly describe the different planes and provide challenges that are unique to them...

    Teleport Base Class (WIP)

    Heh, i was doing a Prc based on that movie. Few ideas i did put in: - swift short-range teleport X times per day - multiple teleports per round special ability. You could "move" a total of X feet per round by teleport, and you could make your attacks at any moment during the teleports. If you...

    Help with adventure idea - Assault on a city

    Thanks :) I really used the hint you put there and i must say, it sparked a great deal of imagination. They will indeed find a half-undead turned gnome after the tower collapse and he will tell them about the sewers. While in the sewers, they will meet a monster (Bloedzuiger - Witcher Wiki)...
