    What exactly is common knowledge

    Greetings, Thanks for all the attention to the post. Sorry took so long for me to get back. I understand that there is information that they're gonna know through stories, bardic epics, and whatnot. The main issue was how to determine if it's something the character learned, or if it's...

    Is this metagaming?

    Generally, I've let them get by with it. But if an NPC accidently forgets that it gets bite AND claws in it's full round, they jump to the defense that it's "too late". Finally decided a little 'eye for an eye' action. I like the once per session thing, I think that's what I'm gonna do...

    Is this metagaming?

    After a party is enhanced due to generous casters (bull's str, prayer, bless, etc) the PCs stats improve. Yay! Now lets say the fighter swings at the NPC and misses, but would've hit with the spell's effects. If he calculates his total "to hit" and I, as DM, say "misses", can he in turn...

    What exactly is common knowledge

    My players are very well minded with the various npcs in the MM and such and it has caused a little chaos at times. On 2 separate occations we've argued over aspects and I ruled their favor just to stop the argument, however, I'm thinking that might've been the wrong thing to do. The first...

    Mount question

    Actually, I remembered why I didn't have this plan to begin with. The dragon + NPC would annhilate them due to way overpriced CR for their liking. Somehow I'll use both of them. Maybe just fly over the city with a few frightful presence poses, a breath or 2 for terror. My how I love chaos :)...

    Mount question

    Greetings Guys, I guess this could be categoried Combat or Creatures, or both. I just had an idea, but I don't have my books and stuff around to check on the rules and "how to" of this so maybe you can help. Our group has never really gotten into the mounted thing, and thus I've never really...

    Random questions :)

    Oh, nod, sorry Hyp. It was indeed a touch, not ranged touch. He was using it to heal someone through. Anyway, I'm back home and got the other question I was missing... 3. You can make a spellbook fireproof/waterproof. What is the price to do so? I see mentions of it in DMG or PHB, forget...

    Random questions :)

    I'm sorry, yes, the cleric is multiclassed, wiz/cler. With you guys asking about it, I guess that means a pureblood rogue couldn't get a monkey familiar to get the +2 SoH.

    Random questions :)

    Well, I think instead of just posting each question I have individually I just put them into one big hulking thing. Ah well... However I left my notes at home for what all I wanted to ask so here's to winging it: 1. Is there a chart to determine how much information someone "knows" when doing a...

    Summoned creature + trap

    Well, knowing the guy playing the war, he would assume that since he saw the caster directly in front of him before the fog happened, he would charge forward to try to "bump" into it to know where it was. He's even more so than the typical warrior... strong... dumb... except that's makin him...

    Summoned creature + trap

    Mmmk. So the new situation (if things go perfect...): Cleric/Sorc are anticipating the arrival of the PCs due to alertness from previous battle sounds and hearing the death cry of their ally, the NPCs prepare for battle. The Sorc casts Fog Cloud which will spread through the entire room. The...

    Summoned creature + trap

    Preciate it. On my way to work at the moment, I'll go through things again tonight. Thanks for the help and ideas!

    Summoned creature + trap

    Hmm. Converstaion wasn't really the right word to use. I guess "casually concentrating" would be better. There will be a fight just before the PCs get to this room so they're going to definintely know trouble is coming. I just thought some idle little bs to pass the time. (Like 2 guards at...

    Summoned creature + trap

    I was thinking of a trap for the boss fight for a campain and being new to the DM side of things, I wanted to make sure this was all "legit" and whatnot. The characters enter the room where a cleric and sorc are opposite conversing. At the sight of the players, the sorc casts darkvision on the...

    Slow Fall and Tumble

    Hmm.. I like the opposed tumble check thing... All this tumbling into insta flank is just killin my good ideas left and right :P Btw, unrelated question: When I go into my settings, and look at the subscribed threads to navigate through, it only shows the 1st one I made. Am I supposed to...

    Slow Fall and Tumble

    Sweet... +2... heh.... So all those times they tumbled to the back.. Does size of the creature/player matter? To me it seems kinda hard for a monk that quaffs an "Enlarge person" potion tumble through a med creature, w/o bumping into it. I was thinking there should be some modifiers or such...

    Slow Fall and Tumble

    I don't have my books with me atm, but I was sitting in class and this came to mind. As a new DM for the group, I've had some fun making traps etc. The monk of our group is incredibly stupid, and I'm trying to train him by thinking a little bit. He's fell in more pits than a dalmation has...

    A mean 'ol DM...

    Had a break from class... I actually like that. In fact... that might be the next dungeon... Preciate the tips and such... I'm afraid they're going to hate me more than they already do :p

    A mean 'ol DM...

    Preciate the info, I'll try to be back to continue the discussion in a few... lab is starting (night classes) Mainly wanted to see if TPK was an option or if it was just downright brutal. I might just kill em all and take the level loss for res, shrugs.

    A mean 'ol DM...

    Actually they're all farily low chars (party level of 7 - there are 7 players, huge group). The characters are actually very rounded. Like I said, they're at least average usually on searching for stuff and being crafty, but lately they're just gotten really lazy and apparently they're...
