    An above all else group leader

    In general, I've found this doesn't work so well. Power corrupts, and all that. Teamplay is what makes groupwork fun, and if you run into a hitch, any player with the absolute power is absolutely gonna wanna excercise it. This often results in other players feeling like they didn't get a fair...

    Difficult decisions for a monk trying to do the right thing...

    It seems a little odd that they would offer such a service to the PCs in the first place, unless of course they had something up their sleeves that would ensure they wouldn't themselves be destroyed in the fight. Unless you're Intelligence is 6 or lower, you really have to assume that such...

    Arrow Demon + Feats = 17 Attacks???

    :eek: Unholy flying arrows Batman! :eek: Let us know how this encounter turns out.

    Dwarven Lumberjack

    You should have a serious balance check modifier for log rolling!

    Disrupting Weapon

    I just ran a short adventure that involved a cabal of wraith-sorcerers led by a dread wraith. One of my PCs decked himself out feat-wise enough (15th level party) so he could weild two greatswords (it was a short campaign for fun), one of which was disrupting, amongst other things. Between that...

    Funniest Moments

    Not overly hilarious, but we had a good chuckle: We were at the climax of this 3-episode, 12th level campaign, fighting a party of Shades atop this mountain during an eclipse. Very tough fight. My fighter went down early in the combat (but not before offing the Shade fighter) but only to about...

    Magic missile and SR?

    Since additional missles can be directed to multiple targets, I'd say SR for each missle. Just a knee-jerk interpretation, though.

    My player is driving me crazy!

    How long has she been roleplaying? I've frequently noticed identical or very similar behaviours among new roleplayers (and to a lesser extent, more experienced ones where no one ever explained the problems with the behaviours). The game is very engaging, and due to a lack of...

    Website hosting help

    It is PHP and MySQL, and I am fairly certain the main issue is a versions one (aside from just plain old crappy communication between involved parties). Aside from the little difficulties, it is reassuring to know that the process if fairly simple (or at least hear it described as such). I'll...

    Thank you so much for the move, and the extremely useful reply. Man, this place impresses me on so many levels.

    The 'What D&D character are you?' test...

    Chaotic Good Human Ranger Bard. Sounds boring! I may just have to play one now, though, just to see how it turns out.

    Humorous descriptions for skill failures/successes

    :lol: In one game I DMed, one of the PCs was tailing a rival, and somehow during this process, to avoid having an alley cat give him away, he knocked it unconscious and stuffed it into his pants (no noise, no evidence, no... problem?). Anyway, he ended up sneaking into this rival's room, but...

    D&D Music / Soundtracks?

    Definitely orchestral music with a variety of moods. Beyond that, one CD that is frequently used during our gaming sessions is the Resident Evil soundtrack. One time, the opening sample of the little British girl saying, "You're all going to die down here." played just as we entered the mouth of...

    Fire Elemental question

    Water (or any non-flammable liquid) being an impassable barrier for Fire Elementals, I'd say if you managed to submerge one, it would be destroyed instantly.

    An age old topic that was never answered!

    Individual housecats (in any number) can't grapple an Ancient Red Dragon, as you automatically fail if your target is two or more size categories larger than you. Looks like this will have to be something along the lines of a swarm.

    I figured: "Hey, EN World is full of intelligent, helpful people with a wide knowledge base, it certainly can't hurt to seek aid here." And so here I am. I'll outline the situation as clearly as I can, though please note that my technical savvy is limited to a single PHP class in high school...

    Superfluous Skill Checks

    If someone in my group is going for one of those 'keen senses' type characters (spot/listen maxed/enhanced as much as possible), I'll usually do what Third Wizard just described, and then throw in a lot of flavour details into the description of what they (the keen senses char.) pick up, even if...

    Lonely Gamers Anonymous (a lament)

    Just adding a voice to the chorus. Damn low population density province... but I'm optimistic. Good luck to all.

    How disturbing are your games?

    First of all, very entertaining thread. Lots of good ideas to spice up roleplaying involvement. Our usual DM ran a real great Westgate one time. The 'horror' and depravity was more implied and atmospheric, but definitely had all of our skins crawling, particularly my half-celestial paladin's...
