maybe the mimic ability is more than just a built in tape recorder. What if (and I'm riffing off the top of my head here, so go easy on me) the Kenku Wizard's spell list is restricted to spells the Kenku has seen others cast... like when the party gets blasted by it's first lightning bolt spell...

I just imagined it as working the same way as the car in the transformers movie that could only talk using his radio. Let the player (I assume we're not talking about an NPC) use a mosaic of repeated phrases to get a point across. The Kenku's lack of creativity gives the player a chance to be...

Let the druid turn in to a grub. I will. They get no start block, and no movement, no actions. If a creature comes into contact (or gets the grub placed on it) it makes the Dex save like normal, becoming infested on a fail. The druid is assumed to be munching away and laying eggs. He can burrow...

did you look it up in the MM? I ask because this is a game, not reality. The flight speed you looked up seems like it refers to the "real world"... Also, I just watched a scene in "the princess bride" where they definitely make at least 3 attacks in six seconds... Also, we all know how to dash...

Nobody pulls off the railgun, it's a made up scenario that is used to illustrate how the rules can be used to support the absurd. I don't know where the sprites came from, I was pulling that from a previous comment. and it's not the "badwrongfun" card, it's the...

I tend to overemphasize the existence of turns and rounds. I use turns for more than just combat, I use them for the Explor/Roleplay portions too. If the characters walk into a town I go around the table and let each player pick one thing that their character is going to do in town. They...

giving xp for incorporating watterson

I realize that I am not actually answering, i just wanted to bump this back to the top so that I can answer in full when I get out of work. I'm running this campaign right now and... well, I may have a lot to say. In the meantime, you could check out the blog post I wrote about my prep-work...

Forrest Gnome, Ranger (Hunter) 3 Druid (circle of moon) 2. What a fun and ultimately logical build. The DM thought I was abusing the "Minor Illusion" cantrip by making illusory tree stumps and hiding in them with my bow at the ready, but isn't that kind of the point?. The gnome is only 3 feet...

This is great... So, I could really use a visual demonstration for this one NPC I have coming up, if you don't mind doing one that isn't a PC? It's DJ Lance Rock from "Yo! Gabba Gabba"... as a Necromancer. This isn't supposed to be a veiled reference, either; it's blatant and obvious so the...

This is probably closest to what I had in mind. It's not so much that I was planning some offense-only build, it just seemed weird that a ranger who picks Horde Breaker will NEVER get the Colossus Slayer ability. Also, as a DM I wouldn't allow rangers to multiclass ranger, only because...

Is there any way, homebrew or RAW, to double back and get a class feature you passed up? Let's say I have a ranger, and I want Colossus Slayer AND Horde breaker. Would you let one of your players sacrifice a Defensive tactic at 7th to go back and get one they passed up?

Have a favorite 1-off from Dungeon Magazine. "Old Man Katan and the Incredible Edible Dancing Mushroom Band" [issue# 41] is always in my folder for the quick go-to quest.

Honestly, this spell is just not something you're supposed to measure in numbers. I have a lot of fun reading your posts when you guys start talking about damage output and damage per round and all, but I don't think it's appropriate with this spell. The utility of the spell goes beyond a...

When I do session recaps, I go for all out novelization. I realize that this goes against "The Angry DM"s advice on recaps, and he's right; I do it because I've always wanted to be a writer. My players seem to enjoy reading the things they've done in dramatic form, and I believe that it has...

Episode 5 is now available

I had a thread that I think got deleted, so here's the story so far... Backstory, Character profiles, and more at; www.randomnumbersrpg.wordpress.com The ending of episode 4 is the best. I almost accidentally said "and naked as the day he was born... Pierce Hawthorne".

You've got to. I wanted to run the adventure as close to true as I could, but customization is unavoidable. I was tempted to make everyone start at level 1 with new characters just so we could walk through all the introductory missions, starting fresh seems like the only way to really use the...

love your recaps. I think since the server reboot I am a new member again and can't post links until I get some more XP, but if you're interested, we are in feathergale spire right now; www.randomnumbersrpg.wordpress.com edit: looks like I CAN post links...
