Were I to plan a mid-level dungeon with claustrophobia and fear in mind, I'd set up separation traps, and focus on many weaker encounters and environmental hazards. On the whole, by this point, being alone is about the only thing that adventurers are afraid of when it comes to dungeons (and...

Narrrgh my brain!

At the end of our sessions, our DMs have had a tradition of basically rubbing each player on the belly with some individual closing attention, pointing out one, two, or three really nice things done in character- and then award a couple hundred xp to them for it, regardless of level. It's not...

My group was composed of neighbors, who I believe met through the Scouts / being across the street and made long term friendships that went through college. I joined it by being shoved out the door by my girlfriend at the time who wanted me to be social, and my former roomie taking me across...

And they're good at grappling. So.. Mobs of very good grapplers can be a serious problem for whatever cannot escape. Mobs also move slowly in comparison to their base creature. Mobs take more damage from area effect spells than normal.

I didn't notice anything in it on the Black Pit or the wee town near it.

Deities and Demigods, Planar Handbook.

No, I wouldn't. If his dice are that magical, he can bring them and roll in front of you.

I don't allow it anymore. In an Exalted game I ran, players were all paranoid from previous WW experience and went on an arms-race Charm wise to try to become powerful enough to fight off other PCs if need be. The plot, the natural development of the characters, and just about all the...

Hmm.. I'd give Greyhawk much more lovin'. Like Hardcover lovin'. Ohh yeah..

Going along those lines, it might be possible to just make an equivalent to Racial Substitution levels for a soldier, but have them be "Soldier Substitution levels" Ie: first level Fighter who subs Soldier may get a few bonus class skills, loses the bonus feat, but gains Endurance to reflect...

I'm just picturing a dungeon crawl... "Good luck, Private!" week passes "Welcome back, Captain!" As for gaining ranks in the army, I'd have field tests for NCO's based on Knowledge (War or an equivalent), and formal exams for officers based on Knowledge (War or an equivalent), Knowledge...

Oh i chortled. Thanks!

When my character has nothing to do, or more specifically, when my character has no justifiable reason to take action of any sort. Examples include: hour long rogue modules where one player goes off on his own, social contexts that completely silence/stifle characters (if you talk, off with...

Everything said above, with Jovocs added. Heck, have catapults launching them. Have them clinging to giant monsters like armor. Have enemies wielding them as clubs.

One way I did it was to give each character a level 1 warrior goblin, and have them chased through the streets of sharn by a bugbear who wanted the Mystery Shiny one of the goblins had. They eventually ran into a tavern to hide, blending in with other goblins and hiding behind the various bar...

Create Deathless would do the trick I believe.

I figured it changed the sound of the name from "Fay-run" to "Fay-rune." If not, I'll go with the squiggles = fantasy theory. :)

I see at least some of the people I game with a second time a week for drinking, so I prefer to keep the two things separate. We've rarely had issues with drinking, as the "gaming = no alcohol" rule was enforced through our college days and into the present. I'm in the "one or two drinks are...

As already mentioned, Swarmfighting screams goblins, and it goes well with Phalanx Fighting (also in Complete Warrior) Swarm'll get a Dex 16 goblin up to +3 to hit, Phalanx'll get 3 goblins +3 AC and +1 to Reflex Saves. Putting them together probably won't be feasible for a few more levels...
