Ok this is a continuation of the savage elves game that I have posted for advice for previously, things are going swimmingly so far. But yet again I seek inspiration. First things first we haven't had a real good fight for a while I'd like a chance for the paladin and the cleric to stand toe to...

slightly unrelated - well very unrelated but an interesting thing occured when reading this. The DM for the Iron Kingdoms game I play in describes misses to some extent based off this. Not for any mechanical reason but to make descriptions match up to characters more. So if an attack would...

and I now have the place for my Ogrun backup character to come from - even better it fits that he uses unarmed combat dueto the weapon restrictions in the town for Ogrun - even better better he now gets unarmed combat as a bonus feat (though no polearm goodness, apart from all martial weapons...

I was considerign making a part of it a gold mine, vast amounts of gold, that they living in a barter economy wont really have much use for. Unfortunately it would mean that they could come back once they have reached some filthy foreigners who use money lots and be loaded beyond their wildewst...

After so much success with the ideas posted the last time I asked for ideas about my wild-elfy savage homebrew. And due to the stinking cough cold andsore throat that is slowing my thinking to a crawl. I thought I'd ask for some cool ideas of items creatures or locations within a dwarven...

messing up the armor class modifier was a stupid mistake! I didn't give myself time to prepare to reduce the HD I was trying to do a quick and dirty version but messed it up basically didn't I? Any suggestions for the portal/artifact that summons them, I'm thinking on top of the cliff/mountain...

by the way, thank you everyone for taking the time to post, I am keen to make this game work as all the players are really fired up about it and keen on their characters. I like the setting very jungly ritual heavy with barter and trade rather than shops is the intent, its worked so far but...

Am I wrong using the estimation that a party of 5 4th level characters is approximately the same effectivness as a party of 4 5th level characters. someone on enworld proposed a power level method of estimating encounters level time number or characters then divide by 4. Higher level spells...

well I obviously *its always obvious after reading the right way* made some goofs, I had a +8 to armor class stuck in my head for beig invisible and not the 50% miss chance, it felt wrong when I was running it, drat, goes to show that one should always look things up rather than assuming you...

the party is five players at level 4 (well 4 at 4 now and one at 3, but that was after the paladin woek up again). fighter1 / bard 3 (I tried to persuade him the fighter level just for a feat wasn't worth it) sorceror 1 / fighter 3 (archer with all the feats heading for arcane archer, doesn't...

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Wasn't sure which way the conversation would turn. Ok the situation, I ran a weaker invisible stalker agianst my party last night with one death and me not playing it as optimumly as possible to avoid another death and probably more. 1stly the...

I believe its referred to as the cleric+ as it can do everything a cleric can just that bit better than a cleric. It does have a lower hit dice? possibly? Can't remember.

don't forget the flavour text change. Same NPC different description of their clothes. Different flavour text for their spells (same list as before but use them in a different order and describe them as something else) e.g. magic missile the black clad stealth assassin that appears in their...

It might be better to look at the pricing as per miracle, limited wish or wish. I believe that they can be used to spoof any spell under certain level limits. Possibly then apply a reduction for not having the other abilities a wish has. Use activated, or command word trigger once per day can...

theres rules on the wotc website for vermin druids and swarm animal companions, I think it was rats and bees they did but the mechanics might be useful. As I remember they gave slightly different abilities and had a slightly different control/handle animal etc I used to have it bookmarked as...

yeah this thread is pretty much highlighting my concerns, will it make the game less fun. I think I need to think - I want to encourage good tactics and fully intend to have their bows shattered at some point which will drop the damage out put of the party immensely (I also plan to have the...

and thank you for replying :D My posts at the minute aren't being very clear or concise - your patience to read it all and reply is appreciated!

I was fishing in the broadest sense, I want to make the forest which has already been established as a dangerous place that they (the elves) are skilled at surviving in, into a place where everything is subtly against them and the everyday things they accept are not to be relied on. I was...

I can relatively easily control access to adamantine or even remove it from existence - so far they haven't seen or heard of any and the starting guidlines were no metal armour try and limit yourselves to woodsy, wood leaf, bark etc equipment.

Recently posted a thread asking for ideas in the general forum, for a wilderness elven savage campaign. I have more of an idea where I want to take the campaign now and am sorting out some protagoinists and concepts. At the end of the last session the party found an item (crystal glowing...
