Every time a DM let's the players encounter a lycanthrope, there is a possibility that the character gets infected and turns into a lycanthrope himself. I'd say this effect would be wellknown from stories and battlereports, or at least should be. After a battle with lycanthropes, a party should...

How about this for a Christmas Dragon? http://dungeondamage.keenspace.com/d/20021225.html ..definatly not as friendly, but would YOU dare not to have a merry christmas?

Hmm...if groups of dragons, flying fortresses and attacking level 20 wizards seem to be a realistic threat in your world, I'd say it's pretty high magic. Lots of archers, maybe equipped with magical bows and brilliant energy arrows, should be able to deal with the dragons. Arrows go a lot...

And have you read the cult's reason to clone? Rael says the Raelians eventually want to learn how to clone an adult and then "transfer the brain to the clone." Can you imagine....children as nothing more than "replacement bodies"? I for one don't like that thought at all!

I'm in the middle of an evil homebrew campaign for my players. They're students of a black academy, and are destined to help out in the great invasion of the Beast (big bad with demons and devils under it's control). The Beast wants to totally destroy the churches of some gods that have...

The only cheating the DM can do is cheating the players out of having a good time. I think you did just the opposite, by adjusting the black guard, you made the fight with him more interesting. Think the players would have had more fun if they only had to cast a single spell? I think they would...

Some extra info: these are the stats I intend to use for the skeletal warrior. The party is only level 3/4, and aren't a match for this fighting power. TYARO, SKELETAL WARRIOR Elf (m) level 10 fighter skeletal warrior. medium undead Hd; 10d12 (68 hp); init +6 (+6 dex); speed 30’; AC 21 (+6 dex...

I intend to use the skeletal warrior as it's printed in the Tome of Horrors, but could use some suggestions as to exactly how. For those unfamiliar with the skeletal warrior, here's a short description. Skeletal warriors are undead that have their souls bound to a circlet. By wearing the...

Well, let's see... Cerberus- greek mythology, guardian of the underworld. Cuchulain -"wolfhound of Culan", from celtiv mythology. Baskerville -as in "Hound of the Baskervilles", the Sherlock Holmes story. Toto - Wizard of Oz Canus - latin for dog.

If you want a mount that can take a beating, nothing beats a war-rhinoceros. Or what about an elephant? Did wonders for Hannibal. Many of the dire animals would make great mounts too.

I started a new campaign at 1st level a few weeks back with the intent of letting it advance all the way up to epic. I figure it's the only way not to have to deal with all the pitfalls of high level play at once. Scrying, teleporting and ressurections make give a highlevel adventure a whole...

It's fun to use a monster in a disguise now and then. I once had my party face a Displacer Beetle. Because they didn't instantly connect the fact that they hit through an apparation one time and hit on another time with displacement, it had them quite confused. Would it have used the six-legged...

You can let the players know how much their characters know in your description. "a troll comes at you through the woods." By naming it as a troll, it sets the assumption that the players know what it is, and would also know it's wellknown weaknesses. Now for a party of rookies that has maybe...

Yep, quenya is the fantasy equivalent of french. I use "anvanya", meaning "most beautiful" for a very close friend of mine.

Don't leave your Bunbun out for Santa.... http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=971224

There is some mention of Trolls SPEAKING in dutch, not actually being dutch. Dutch folklore doesn't have any trolls. The original trolls are scandinavian. Maybe a DM used dutch to speak in character for trolls. I don't really see dutch working out as trollspeak though. Now using Klingon as...

Reminds me of a battle between two of my players and a demon. First, it was the party who released the demon in the first place...because it could be usefull. Bad idea #1. Second, two members of the party figured out it might have been a bad idea to have done so, and returned to confront the...

92. The villains don't roll attackrolls anymore, but have switched to diplomacy rolls to beg your foregiveness. 93. You got bored wrestling one god at a time, so you've invited them all for a big rumble at your place. 94. The gods go out of their way to think up excuses not to have to attend...

14) When you like to dip your finger in holy water, just to watch it boil and evaporate. 15) When you not only steal candy from babies, but also steal their cribs, their blankey, their diapers, plus take their parents hostage and sell the baby for some extra pocketchange. 16) When you destroy...

Oh yes....definatly Labyrith of Madness. I DMed this one, and I let my players make specially prepared characters for it (putting the regular characters through would be the end of a very low magic campaign). As all the players knew this was a killer dungeon, and the characters didn't mean all...
