My tips: Split the PCs up. Have attacks come while they're sleeping or vulnerable, and have it come slowly (werewolf under the bed, or "you hear the doorknob to your room jiggle", etc.). Cast suspicion on the people the PCs most rely on or must rely on ("Shelly, your character notices that...

Hey Morrus-- Aside from the fact that Midnight Rider has a history of causing problems on this board, I think his opinion of the adventure module is just as valid as Psion's. The only reason I bring this up is because of the recent announcement on the news page: "A new way of calculating the...

Re: Dudely Doright Yeah, it's like wearing a target on your back :)

Wizards win, mostly because their damage to unit ratio is so high, but also because they have the ability to take out enemy commanders at range or by surprise (teleport, invisibility, etc.). Anyone who's played a real time strategy game knows that offensive capability is far superior to...

Just like the people who walked out on your first attemped at DMing Piratecat? ;) Only teasing, I ran Of Sound Mind without a single change. It's been years since I've run an adventure module that I didn't gut and replace 50% of the material first. Nice job. -7th

Ok, I'm going to stick my neck out and make the claim that NONE of these points necessarily indicate a bad DM. In fact, I find a few of these comments a bit misinformed. People have different styles of play and if yours does not jive with the DM's, as others have suggested, run a game...

I have a player who wants to learn a spell (scribe it from a scroll into his spellbook) before he is of the appropriate level to cast it. He wants to do this because he will soon take on a prestige class that will force him to drop a school. (He won't be able to learn any new spells of this...

Why isn't The Ebon Mirror in the reviews database yet? It's been out for a while and I think it rocks!

I am planning to use Legions of Hell in the very near future, in particular the Akop. We'll see if the PCs can undo Mammon's curse and save an entire race (that should be worth beaucoup de experience). As for other D20 books, Touched by the Gods (Atlas Games) has been the main inspiration for...

Only a flesh golem? That's nothing, I'm constantly pitting my players against challenge ratings that are off the chart (i.e., no experience listed for their level). It's much more exciting then letting them mow down countless goblins, and the cool thing is, they always survive! Greyhawk...

Here is all I can find: Scorpion Ninja starting package - No armor, Ninjato, Aiguchi, starting wealth 1d6 x 10. Is that what you wanted? -7th

Occult Lore Hey John, I'm curious about Occult Lore, will there be anything like Mechanomancy/artificers in it? Thanks, 7thlvlDM

I need info on the Exotic Weapon Master class. I already pre-ordered the book from Talon, but I'm afraid it won't get here before my next game. Can anyone tell me the prerequisites and some of the abilities of the prestige class? Thanks, -7th

Exotic Weapon Master I was wondering if yee who have the book could tell me a little about the Exotic Weapon Master =] What are the class' prerequisites? What are its major powers? Thanks! -7th

Force Grey, suit up! "Whenever troubles grow beyond the power to be handled by the watch or the guard without significant loss of life, Piergeiron and the Lords can mobilize Force Grey, an elite cadre of loyal, powerful Waterdhavians able to match or exceed the power of the offenders at large."...

Polyhedron has turned out to be a better value than I thought, now that it includes a whole D20 game inside. My only complaint is that it seems overly focused on modern era rpgs. There was tremendous interest when the Spelljammer issue was announce. I say WotC should bring back all the D&D...

diversity I'm Vietnamese, male. My group consists of one Caucasian female (French descent), one half-Caucasian/half Japanese male, one Hawaiian male, and one Hispanic/Indian (as in from India) male. Last year, in grad school, it was 3 Caucasian males and 1 Caucasian female; I was the only...

Re: You think you guys had it rough! This reminds me of how I started playing. I was 12 and had just gotten into fantasy, knights, wizards, castles, dragons, etc. If I recall correctly, it was about the same time that I read The Hobbit in school. When I saw the D&D red box set of the late...

I'm all for that.
