    Tell players target save DCs or let them sweat?

    Not only would I not tell what the DC for the save is, I wouldn't tell whether the saved succeeded or failed if it doesn't have an immediate result. Disease is a very good example of this. The player won't know for sure if the dire rat caused a disease untill it takes effect or not. Also a...

    What happens to a body when it is brought to -74?

    -74 hp? Crushed? Glabrezu? Sounds like something like this happened: The glabrezu trapped the barbarians legs between his pincers and lifted him from the ground. Then he started to push down on the barbarians head, till the whole head disappeard into his breastplate. Then it proceeded to push...

    lyrics for a singing sword

    Some Queen would de nicely for a singing sword. During combat with lots of baddies: And another one gone and another one gone, and another one bites the dust. After combat: We are the champions. Before the fight with the BBEG: Who wants to life forever.

    Wherefore Orcs?

    In the Warhammer universe there are plenty of orcs. Don't know any specific Warhammer novel that features them though. The Warhammer orcs are a great bunch. Powerfull, big...and even unknowlingly psionic. They worship gods, or so they think, but the power for their magic actually comes from...

    [Humor] Sandwitchery of the Dark Ages

    *apologies to Meg for hyjacking his thread* Kiki as a familiar? Add some pixiesticks, and the ferret beats using a fireball. I really shouldn't be surprised to find En-worlders also being sluggites, not with so many interesting stuff just waiting to be milked as adventureleads in there...

    [Humor] Sandwitchery of the Dark Ages

    *smile* Always good to meet a fellow sluggite. Who else would agree that cute bunnylops, kittens and Santa are things to be feared?

    3.5 Call Lightning

    Silver Griffon: *grin* This was why in one campaign I played in, this spell got known as the "good weather"spell. As long as you had it memorized, you were assured of nice sunny days without a cloud in the sky.

    unbalanced

    Than again............you are the guy with the biggest problem. The mage obviously overpaid you for the gems. - bag of holding (2.500) - mithril chain shirt (1.100), - +1 rapier he made it +2 and keen (12.000) - +4 gloves of dex (16.000) That's 31.600 gp.....and that for a hot 16.000 gp gem...

    What's the most rat bastard thing you've ever done as a DM?

    Oh those male medusae.....so much fun. I had a large group of medusae hidden deep in the central forest around which a kingdom lay. The forest was also full of monsters like hydra's, chimera's and catoblepas. No problem for the medusae...they'd just turn them to stone. So what to do with all...

    Surrounded by the demon-army!

    So far my campaign has focused on the players aiding the demonarmy, but now they're starting a new party and will switch sides. The main base of the campaign will be a great forest. In times gone by, the forest was at the heart of a kingdom.....than the armies of the demons came. All the cities...

    Damage Reduction revised

    I like the idea of coupling damagereduction not to a magical plus, but to a special material. Especially combined with the lower damagereductions. The players in 3.5 will have to take in consideration what kind of material bypasses a certain damagereduction. It could be an adventure onto...

    DM seeks help in 'touchy' situation

    You can't give in to either blackmail or seduction, cause in both cases...when you do, they know your weak spot and it goes downhill from there. First it's a little favor to get a ressurection... ...next she'll be proposing some things involving lingerie to get her hands on a vorpal sword...

    The-Imp-formerly-known-as....

    The demons constant whining about being bonded to a lowly wizard and talking about how much better it was under his former, way more powerfull, masters....the player knows. The demon seeking revenge on all demons would be a bit of a problem, but him seeking revenge against the high-up that...

    The-Imp-formerly-known-as....

    Using the rules from "Demonology: the Dark Road", the summoner in my party has aquired an imp to be permanently bound in his service. Now to make things fun, I decided this imp was a great demon before, but because of some mistake (the imp calls it "the paladin incident"), he is serving a few...

    [OT] The X-Men are not human!

    Look at it from the other side... ...who would have told Wolverine that a judge decided he was a "doll"?

    Am I Unreasonable?

    Quite reasonable. He asked for a spellbook, he got a spellbook. And one without firetraps and snake sigils too! I think it would be quite reasonable that said demon will return in the future to demand a tribute in turn as well.

    The Death of Eliminster

    You should definatly keep the players out of the line of collatoral damage, but they should definatly have a role in the story. They're players after all, and not just listening to a storyteller. Maybe in one of their missions near Shadowdale, they run into the gathering of dragons, resting...

    Join B.A.R.E, Bothered About (Un)Recycled Equines!

    And some wise lesson my players learned the hard way... DON'T tie your horses to a tree near Griffon Mountain while you go climbing it to catch a griffon..... ..the party had to drag the griffon they actually caught back home across a distance of 10 miles, after it's cousins had spotted some...

    Help- my players stay out- I need to PC-proof this complex...

    Use any stop-teleporting trick the players invent against them. Let the villain teleport monsters or assassins into their homebase, and start taking notes. The players should provide you with protections against teleporting soon enough. And whatever the players can do, the villains can do as...

    100 Reasons why Dunedain (and men) prefer Elven Maidens

    24- Because "Take out the trash" and "Don't forget to pick up the groceries" actually sounds pretty good when spoken in quenya. 25- Because your mother-in-law went to the West. (Insert "Wicked witch of the West" joke here) 26- You can borrow her elven cloak whenever unwanted familymembers or...
