    Arcane Eye - Tips on Handling?

    It's a great info-gathering spell, and you are right to not want to nerf it or punish them for using it. It does need a space of at least one inch in diameter--depending on the environment, that could prevent it going through well-made doors, stopping the reconnaissance very quickly. And the 1...

    Slavery in D&D Campaign Settings

    Hi Mark To be honest, I think the DM needs to get more certainty as to whether this is in fact the case. As it is, he's in a bind, as either option seems to suggest difficulty. Well, I'd say when one of your players finds the whole subject upsetting. In that case, either the player needs...

    Eberron: The all Abberant Dragonmark Campaign

    Cool. I've not done it, so why am I posting? To say "cool", I guess. I think one key element will be the relationship between the characters and the DMHs to which the aberrant ones are (loosely or tightly) linked.

    3 Years of Unearthed Arcana

    Recombinance May I ask, oh UA experimenters, if anyone has combined lots of these options together, and how they have found doing that? I'm specifically interested if anyone's used recharge magic with anything else, eg recharge magic and spontaneous metamagic, or recharge magic and spell...

    Starting an Eberron campaign - Which books besides the ECS would you recommend?

    You've probably gethered that any recommendations depend on what kind of game you are looking to run, including where things will be set. Rather than give you recommendations, here's my analysis of the books I've purchased in terms of my current game. Player's Guide: this is a great book, well...

    Freaking Awesome 3rd Party Books That Don't Get Enough Praise

    Righteousness! I was getting all wobbly with concern as I read through this. Surely someone will... but what about... no... but... ah! Thank you Dannyalcatraz! The Book of the Righteous: http://www.greenronin.com/catalog/grr1015 Don't worry about the gods, here you have the best "standard"...

    Stat Analysis: Progress

    So cool, so cool. These might help: d20 NPC wiki: http://d20npcs.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page NPC stat block blank: http://www.dmtools.org/ Monster stats (but you probably have all these): http://mikael.borjesson.net/dnd/monster-list.asp

    Stat Analysis: Progress

    That is so cool. I guess too that the info on your monster-specific cards more-or-less still holds even if you advanced the creature? So let's say the next fight is with another mummy, but you want CR12 this time--your chart gives you the improved raw stats, and you can still use your card to...

    [pimping] Villain classes for D&D

    This is a great idea. I don't have the Book of Nine Swords, so any thoughts about what I could substitute?

    Stat Analysis: Progress

    I'm looking at this thinking "wow, cool" but, er, somewhat embarrasingly, I'm not sure what you intend to do with this data? What's it for? Is this a "for interest's sake" exercise, or do you see the final data being useable for a specific purpose? Cheers

    Best First Level Module for New Players

    Er, some people... Er, not necessarily, in my experience. It generally doesn't pay to assume that people will like what you think they should like. Harking back, the Lost Island of Castanimir was a good low-level adventure for 1st ed. Poking around a wizard's hideaway, odd magic, a balance...

    Best First Level Module for New Players

    I'll vote for the Wizard's Amulet and the Crucible of Freya, as they feature dungeons without being dungeong-specific, they make sense within a limited geographic area (instant gameworld), and it's easy to add other elements to them for further adventures. I've run the Sunless Citadel and...

    Neat. Have you done interiors (dungeons etc) as well? Don't forget there's stuff in the rulebooks too: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/wilderness.htm

    Setting the stage Mike Mearls wrote a series of articles for the Malhavoc Press website called "Setting the stage", all about using terrain in your encounters. Here's the link to the first article--the links to the second and third are found at the bottom in the 'Related Articles' section...

    Suggest Good High Level/Epic Adventures

    Voadam--thank you--that is all so very cool. I don't own DGF, but I've run the Banewarrens with a previous group. My main standing campaign is winding its way towards LotIF and either Bastion of Broken Souls or Hellstone Deep, and in my current (short-term) game I want to include...

    Suggest Good High Level/Epic Adventures

    I realise it's somewhat off-topic, but would you care to elaborate on these ideas? Please?

    Do you fold multiple skills into one?

    I use the Iron Heroes system, where skills are grouped and you get access to these skill groups based on class. This sort-of folds related skills together--eg the Athletics group includes Climb, Jump, and Swim--but enables me to keep all the statted NPCs in my modules etc more-or-less as-is...
