    Looking for good map resource

    I've used several historic maps like those linked above and they work well if you are selective in the ones you use. The biggest problem is that most of them are from the 1500-1700s and contain time specific elements. For example, one of the links has a tower with cannons on it. More...

    Why do Dragonlance campaings never work?

    I stand by my original point that DL has a much stronger role-playing emphasis to it than many other published campaign settings, and is also meant to be much more epic in scope. Alot depends on the ability of your DM. If he's good, then anything is possible. Anyone who thinks that players can't...

    Why do Dragonlance campaings never work?

    It wasn't intended to. It's just a fact of the setting. Characters were limited in maximum level advancement (I dunno if they still are in 3.5) and the whole SAGA disaster was an attempt to take the role-playing aspect of the setting to a whole new level (its failure, in no small part, was due...

    Why do Dragonlance campaings never work?

    Sounds like a lot of these posters don't know very much about Dragonlance at all. It's hasn't been about the Chronicles and the original Heroes in a long time. There has been no official 3.5 (or 3.0) conversion of the original modules. The Dragonlance world has evolved far past that point. The...

    Flying Rules?

    Where are they located? I know of those in the Fly spell and in the feats section of the MM, but is there a consolidated set of rules somewhere? Also, the Hover feat indicates that a character without perfect maneuverability must maintain forward movement each round (the feat negates this...

    Flying Grapplers...

    Where's that rule from? Does it apply to characters with the Fly spell as well?

    Restoration & Negative Levels ?

    Does Restoration remove ALL negative levels on a creature, or just one? The spell description for Restoration seems to indicate all, but then Greater Restoration is more specific in stating that it removes all negative levels (which could mean Restoration only removes one?). Thoughts?

    Holy Weapon Sources ???

    Fires of Judgement? What's that from?

    Weapon Reach & Creature Size?

    I've got a large creature mounted on a gargantuan creature. The large creature has a (natural) reach of 10 feet and is using a Spear. The gargantuan creature has a reach of 15 feet. According to the PH, a Spear has a reach of 10 feet. I've adjusted the Spear's damage due to the Large size of...

    Holy Weapon Sources ???

    Holy is too bland and I'm not looking for an intelligent weapon. I'd like to find some other sources to get some inspiration from. Thanks anyways.

    Holy Weapon Sources ???

    I'm looking to equip a knight/paladin-type character with a holy sword type magical weapon, but not as powerful as a holy avenger. I could make a Bane weapon vs. Evil but that's rather bland. Does anyone know any good sources for holy-type weapons that are not uber-powerful?

    Vermin Master Prestige Class?

    Thanks, there is a Vermin Lord in the BoVD. Anyone know of any others? Preferably less spider-focussed?

    Vermin Master Prestige Class?

    I'm looking for a vermin-master type prestige class. Something like the oozemaster from DotF. Is there a prestige class that fits the bill?

    Slam & Free-Hand?

    There's two vampires: a human monk and a human fighter. The monk uses a quarterstaff and the fighter uses a buckler and sword. I know he could choose not to use the buckler but I'd rather not go that route. The reason I'm thinking it might be possible to slam with the forearm is that a monks'...

    Removing some spells from your game

    I feel the same way about fly and teleport spells IMC. What I do is to limit such spells' uses by increasing the spell component(s), often dramatically. This drastically cuts down on their usage but still leaves it as an option (b/c there usually comes a time when it would be helpful to have...

    Slam & Free-Hand?

    Do the rules specify that a monster requires an empty hand to make a slam attack? For instance, could a monster wielding a weapon make an attack with its weapon and then slam (say, with the forearm) with its secondary attack (assuming it has one)? I'm thinking of an energy draining monster...

    Certain types of armor are never worn.

    Umm, what about the Vikings Handbook, Crusades Handbook, Celt's Handbook, et al? Or even Unearthed Arcana, which introduced a library of historical weaponry. I've been playing D&D for a long time and it's always been based (however loosely) off of historical reality. Sure, there are spiked...

    Monster Manual feats for Monks?

    I think there's a feat in Complete Warrior or Miniatures HB that allows adding +2 to DCs of special abilities for characters.

    Certain types of armor are never worn.

    Ummm, 3E (and 3.5E) armour is designed based on historical armour - not the other way around. I guess you missed that. D&D didn't make the types of armour up so that every class would have a suit tailored to its needs. D&D tried to provide statistics for some of the most common armours found...

    Alignment Project, Part I

    It might be a lot easier for your players to understand if you simply have Lawful Neutral (Evil/Good). The word in brackets is the character's tendency (if it leans in a particular direction). When you start making Lawful-Nuetral-Good, it begins to devalue the whole system b/c it's hard to...
