I didn't realize that anyone had popped up here. Trufax: I completely concede that Toughness isn't an optimal choice for a caster, but it's not a completely illegitimate one--or shouldn't be, I believe. A feat that is in the PHB shouldn't be a feat a player character isn't meant to take. If...

It's really cute to see a bunch of folks being all "tee hee hee women have periods," but I'm sure that's not what the OP was really going for. (Also no, it's not cute, stop it. Stop it forever, please.) I like 'The Tender Mercies.' Someone's suggestion of 'Her Hundred Swords' was pretty cool...

A double update so I don't get too far behind. This little interlude happens the same night as the prisoner's hanging. I'll edit later to put things in chronological order. This one hasn't been heavily proofed and is taken from our pbp section, so it may read a bit oddly. ***** The gallows'...

Wow, I'm very late. A combination of sickness and our copy of Dark Souls arriving has kept me rather busy! Unfortunately for the last few weeks we've had no sessions, since the PC holding my maps went :):):):) up the same night I made the maps, sometime overnight after that session. For those...

I also like to create red herring bad guys. Of course, sometimes I also make evil-aligned characters sympathetic enough that the party really wants to find out that the villain is someone else. I've had a party argue over how to save a bad guy they captured red handed from execution under the...

This is a pretty sleepy campaign & storyhour, huh? :) A short update, dealing with tactics. edit: I originally posted this update slightly out of order. The new update for this Saturday has been edited into the previous post. ***** As the night settled in, Cael sat on his bedroll, beside the...

I hope it's just a matter of them getting busy and not thinking to say something! I've had similar situations come up as well.

A wholly unscientific chart using the cost for weapon enhancements, which I compared to the wealth by level guidelines and sorta took the gut approach on. Level Range Bonus Enhancement $ 1 - 4 +1 2000 5 - 8 +2 8000 9 - 13 +3...

The Con bonus would be nice, except for PCs who don't have a Con modifier/have a negative modifier because their score is 10 or less. In that case, it may just become a trap for middling-Con martial types who think it will be useful, but in the end, is most beneficial to characters with high Con...

The 3.5e Rules Compendium is also worthwhile if you can get your hands on it!

I was also thinking of things like Toughness, which seems like a good idea if you're new, but is really just a trap to punish people who don't have a firm grasp on what's actually good in 3.5. One change I've tried in the past with Toughness is having it grant +2 HP at each level after first...

Those who find that "rejected" players become rather hostile may be experiencing the result of the Five Geek Social Fallacies. It's not really your fault, as long as you're polite and clear, as you no doubt know. ("You" in this case is just the general audience "you," no one specific.) Also, a...

Has anyone written up any nifty house rules to make Weapon Focus & company less of a punishment for PCs who want/need to take them for a particular build? I want to give my campaign's martial PCs a nice boost.

I think he was trying to respond to you and got tripped up by a forum bug. Does the Mystra map actually need to specifically be a map of one of her temples, or can you settle for any generically non-evil looking temple?

If it's a +1 enhancement, the GM may rule that the second upgrade goes to +2 cost, then +3, +4, +5... You get the drift. I probably would handle it that way. 6,000 GP seems terribly cheap, I agree. Not all spell immunities are equal. eta I found the weapon in my 3e Faerun Player's Guide. I...

The next log is actually a combination of two sessions. This time, we had some controversial events that the group is still getting mileage from in terms of mocking the monk. ***** Missing during parts of this log: Agniprava, Belsea. Despite the presence of the two wounded peasants, the...

Don't forget level adjustment buyoff, either. The rules for that are available here: The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org In the medium - to - long run, buying off the LA is more efficient in terms of XP. You could, of course, ditch traditional leveling by...

Well, I would say my group has had a few heated discussions. Nothing ever went to insults or attacks, but we've had some passionate differences of opinion and expressions of disappointment/disaffection. We get on very well, and almost never really disagree, but when we do, it's usually over...

After thinking about it a couple days, I remembered that I actually had these as house rules in my campaign. Goes to show how often this actually comes up in my game, heh. I believe these are modified enough from the RPGA materials from whence I derived them to be share-able (but mods, please...
