    Domination question

    I've wondered about that myself. What exactly does "against a PCs nature" constitute? My personal gut feeling would be that yes, attacking another party member wouldn't necessarily be against a PCs nature unless perhaps they were family or very close friends.

    Has anyone converted Temple of Elemental Evil to 3e?

    There's a huge thread about it over in the computer gaming messageboard area.

    Has anyone used AU for RTTTOEE?

    Ok but if you are playing AU *and* plan to run RttToEE, I believe it would be worth registering there. I would answer your question but I haven't done it. It seems the main barrier would be that most of the opposition is clerics, which don't exist per se in AU. So you would have to think of the...

    I've seen The Last Samurai

    I just saw this movie day before yesterday with a Japanese audience in Roppongi. I thought the Emperor's decision at the end was drawing a parallel to MODERN Japan... That she should go her own way and stop being a lackey of the US. But maybe I read too much into it. (Disclaimer: Not supporting...

    Tell players target save DCs or let them sweat?

    Generally, it seems to be fairly standard not to tell players what a monster's AC is, just reporting if they were successful on their to-hit rolls. But I've seen a lot of DMs give the players target DCs for saves, i.e. "Make a DC20 fortitude save" rather than "Make a fortitude save... 18? You...

    How much do you prepare for a homebrew?

    I tend to overprepare, spending dozens of hours, and burning out before I ever get to actually use the world. :o

    Character Deaths

    One in 160,000. But the vast majority of role players don't give their dice enough of a shake to thoroughly randomize the outcome, especially those who quickly pick them up and throw them back down. Still extremely long odds though.

    Increasing the incentive for using advanced combat

    The danger with making bullrushing stronger is that it is already very good in some corner cases... i.e. when you are bullrushing an enemy into a pit, a wall of fire, etc. Flanking is always a nice bonus, but becomes extremely critical to party tactics if there is a rogue. If there were no...

    Player problems

    In the 3.5 PH it is clarified that a natural 20 on a save is always a success. However, in the 3.0 PH this never appeared. At one point in Dragon's Sage Advice and the 3.0 FAQ the Sage did say that natural 20s are always a success, but many disagreed with this ruling and didn't implement it in...

    Awesome blow and AoOs

    Thanks for asking jgsugden! Too bad they didn't provide the reasoning, though.

    Un-hittable druid- legal?

    IMHO, yes max dex bonus +1, yes movment rate decresed, yes skill check penalties. First I believe that Druids can only become tiny, not diminutive. And if she wildshaped to a tiny bird she wouldn't be crushed because her armor weight would decrease as per PH page 123 to 1/10th the weight (5...

    When to force initiative reroll?

    Something that comes up from time to time in my campaign that I struggle with is when to stop combat, thus cutting off readied actions, and when to ask for an initiative reroll. Specifically when my group is fighting incoporeal undead, earth elementals, or similar creatures who can retreat into...

    [AU] Siege on Ebonring Keep

    Pyior, Loresong Faen Magister Pyior addresses Iriana... "Madam, while I do consider myself a student of history and geography, I admit there is much I have yet to learn. I believe most of my companions simply wish to make a name for themselves and hone their martial skills in actual battle. But...

    Un-hittable druid- legal?

    Gloves (on bear claws sounds) like a stretch as well... And just to confirm you would have to remove the amulet, gloves, and belt before wild shaping would you not?

    Does armor with the Wild special ability retain its weight?

    A druid in my campaign has heavy armor proficiency and the new 3.5 Dragonhide Plate. He has also bought the Wild special ability for the armor: The description says in wild shape the armor cannot be "seen". So would you agree that it is still there (and still has weight) and just can't be...

    Awesome blow and AoOs

    Can a creature with the Awesome Blow feat choose to knock the target through it's own threatened area thus creating an AoO opportunity for itself? Text of Awesome blow is as follows: Second question, if it is legal, is it too cheesy? This came up in tonights game... or at least I thought of...

    Do you read D&D books on public transport?

    I'm similar to you John in that I read them on public transport but most of the people around me aren't native English speakers. But they do sometimes get quite a bit of attention due to their colorful covers. There's a funny cultural privacy thing in which the majority of people use paper book...
