    How to remove character levels from NPCs?

    A quick way I sometimes use is to slap negative levels on the NPCs I want to reduce. The F2/R2 example with 2 negative levels would have -10hp, -2 (BAB, Saves, and skill checks). Cleric 5 would have -10hp, -2 (BAB, Saves, and skill checks), and lose the two highest level spells.

    Which "X Series" adventures have you played or ran?

    All of them. I'm seeing a trend here. I had the same answer for the B series poll.

    Defending against an 'army' of shadows

    If possible, Feather Fall wands. The urns won't shatter when they hit the ground. Summon air elementals and other flyers to catch the urns mid-air and take them someplace to be disposed. All clerics should have multiple Spiritual Weapons prepared.

    Cinematic Climax or Sound Strategy?

    If your prey goes to ground you flush them out. Option one: Burn them out. Fireballs, flaming arrow volley, or flaming pitch catapults. Option two: Bomb them out. The giants start tearing down buildings and ripping out paving stones to throw at the cathedral. Option three: Taunt them...

    Bored with knowing what will happen next

    I usually apply this table for myself: 1-5 = unlucky incident or setback 6-10 = narrow failure (can try again) or narrowly succeed (reroll in d3 rounds) 11-15 = standard success 16-20 = lucky break or reward Even if skill modifiers, BAB, etc result in a success, use the unmodified die roll...

    Protocol between local police and the FBI

    First, as long as they don't act like jackasses, have a proper federal ID, and ask permission, the local PD is likely to let them have a look. However, that's only going to go so far. Just because it is a small dept, there is still a lot of procedural red tape that's imposed by local, state...

    High Level Campaign Combat - Secrets to your Success

    I invoke GMV's 4th Law of Gaming. "I am not responsible for your bonuses or advantages inherent to your character. If, after the attack, spell, manuever, etc., you fail and then remember another bonus. Too late. Your character was distracted, scared, nervous, affected adversely by a spell...

    KC Game Day - July10th at 31st Century Games

    It is called Gamer's Quest. I've been there a few times. It seems to be an okay place. Pretty organized. Let me know the date and I'll try to clear my schedule to be there. Weird Wars went over well last time. I think I'll have to make that a regular thing at the Game Day events.

    Adventuring Party Needed!

    A shield with Arrow Deflection to deal with the archer is a possibility. Or perhaps an innate/supernatural ability to Warp Wood. Arrows fired at them inexplicably twist and veer off course. A couple of them could do attack runs at the PCs who think they are safe from airborne attackers...

    The contests are OVER! Thanks very much to everyone for playing!

    I have no screensaver. I have a merging of two Alex Ross paintings of the Silver-Age Flash (Barry Allen) and the Golden-Age Flash (Jay Garrick) standing side-by-side. It looks blurred at the edges like they have just stopped moving long enough for a picture to be taken. That's my wallpaper.

    Campaign in trouble - need help!

    It also falls on the players too. It appears they have created these rigid, unyielding characters that will not compromise or come to terms with each other. It is the players' responsibility to try to come together as a group. Have the bad guys plans proceed while they argue and fight over...

    I need some Birthright Campaign Advice

    The current person who is containing the spirit has become corrupted by it and the player must kill him to take the spirit. All those in the family who are eligible to take this duty feel a compulsion to find the current vessel and confront him. Or the spirit of the family member who made the...

    A few feats and a lack of higher ideas. Your thoughts?

    I would look at the MM template for werecreatures and break it down into separate feats.

    Player problems

    That's ok. As far as I can find, natural 20 is not automatic success for a saving throw. I'd say talk to your brother about cutting you some slack. Here's a DM trick: When a player asks how something happened or why things went the way they did, just say, "I don't know. I guess you'll have...
