    Which NPCs get negative HP rule?

    NPCs except the extremely important or extremely mookish get a single roll for stablilization. Extreme mooks bleed out. Important NPCs stabilize, or not, at the speed of plot.

    If you are taken from non negative HP to -10 or below you are now at -9hp. You WILL die one round from now and you DON'T get a stabilization roll. Your allies have to find a way to stabilize you. Makes for very frantic, heroic, nick of time saves...

    Question about Unyielding Form of Inevitable Death

    When faced with Dire Wraiths the wizard cast this spell to become a construct and thus immune to energy drain. Does that spell actually change your subtype? I let it go at the time, but I wasn't clear if the player assumes the subtype or not. and hopefully posting the text of the spell isn't...

    Spiffy Magic Item suggestions please help

    Well the other thing is, this is a replacement character that's been through 1 session. I just offered to let him retool to wizard 3/clr 3/mt 5 and it sounds like he's going to take my up to it. That allows him to be effectively a wizard 8/ cleric 8 and he took practiced spell caster twice as...

    Spiffy Magic Item suggestions please help

    It's a new replacement character. He's really digging the flexibility.... I think he's somewhat underpowered... but he wanted to play a MT just to see how it would be He probably would have been better off being a cleric 3/ wizard 3 but then you suffer from MAD

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    The Great Death is Large and the Barbarian is Medium. I'd let the Barbarian use it 2-handed without a penalty since it's a large warhammer.

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    I like thundering, shocking burst. Gives it a nice SCARY feel. Should the party survive the encounter, it would be a good item for the barbarian who's had the same +1 great axe for ever.

    What is the standard ability score set? Are most games playing too high?

    I went with 30 point buy for the LONGEST time. My latest 3 campaigns we went with 28 point buy. It's still plenty. I also start campains at level 2 with 0xp so you need to garner 3000xp before becoming 3rd level. Characters also start with 450gp + starting gold (random by class per phb) for...
