I would definitely talk to your DM about this character. I have played a character with 18 int 8 wis and 16 chr. I played much the way that has been described. The DM felt I was not playing a good charisma because others were annoyed by her impulsiveness. Charisma is the way things are...

The elixir of longevity is referenced over at wizards. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=lg/lgmp/20050628a

I think it is fine to play two characters. I have read that many games rotate DMs, how many NPCs does the DM have to play' either short term or as group members? I think having two characters frees the DM to up to use his creativeness elsewhere.

I have taxes at 5%. If anyone disagrees let me know why. Upkeep would just include building repairs. Food and pay to thoses living there are variable costs which I need to include elsewhere.

I am trying to find the upkeep costs for buildings; castles, businesses, and private homes. I expect it to be a % of the total value. So far I have found conflicting sources. In the 1st edition DMG it is listed at 1%/month or 12% annually. That seems high. In The Stronghold Builders...

Agreed then. :)

I have put some thought into what I wrote. It was not meant to be a topic of debate just an example. When chosing which spells to cast one has to factor in their own existing defenses, the health of their companions, their own ability to sustains hits and the threat posed by the enemy. The...

He already has a defensive spell cast, overland flight. That will protect him from quite a few attacks and he can be out of melee reach. The point is this character is; aggressive to get into fights, protects his own butt, while others are dying. Where do you get the idea that others should...

Often a DM may believe that they are giving the PCs a challenging moral dilemma but in reality for them it is a no-win situation. A DM should always be careful when pursuing this avenue because too often as mentioned it is a drain on the players.

Thanks everyone. I prefer to try to get ideas from this board rather than try wizards. I only go on their Greyhawk messageboards. I am just going to make them 18' tall, unless someone comes forward with an errata.

That one round is quite critical. There is much that can be done to turn the tide of battle. Imaging the difference in a fight if everyone in your group wins initiative opposed to everyone losing initiative. Often mages are the best at taking out the BBEG with their spells. To add yes,there...

Shade have you ever seen the Labyrinth of Madness a 2nd Edition product. It has yuan ti and the final enemy is a corrupted titan with snake features.

Is there any way to find out?

Why is the death giant considered to be size huge? It is listed as 15' tall and 2000 lbs. Frost giants are large and 15' tall and 2800 lbs. For 3 more feet the death giant could be considered huge as the cloud giant is 18 ft tall. Also a MM III question why were the yugoloths neutered? The...

In addition to these excellent points I would like to add a few. I am not sure if I read this in the DMG or the DMG II, but any organization (with the exception of the most chaotic) will police their own areas. Your group should not be able to just rest and feel safe anywhere. We have/had a...

We have a system that imposes critical injuries on characters who are reduced in hp to a near death level. The effects are similar to the 2nd edition combat and tactics book-critical hits. They range from injured, broken bones, crushed, shattered, or destroyed and severed. To help pcs stave...

To maximizing your character, you should create wand that aid your party (haste and enlarge) use your own spells for attacks. You enemies will have a much harder time overcoming the DCs.

If the magic items make the BBEG that much more powerful adjust his CR accordingly he is now a greater threat. Oh I agree let him keep the items

Kord promotes non-lethal methods to settling disputes. Worshipers perform feats of strength to honor their god, breaking chains and lifting heavy objects. His priests with the strength domain are well equiped to perform these. Kord does not like dragons, as evident by his dragonhide armor and...

It is obvious that you have made your decision. Try to be positive about talking to them. Perhaps your plea about how this affected you will at least get her to sit down and talk about the problems in the marriage with her husband. She could just confide in you about the problems. At least...
