Hrrrmm, I'd say that creatures that have lost their head (and somehow still returned) disqualify for the class and becoming a cult member :p Losing a hand and eye looks fine as a prereq. Maybe being killed in a gruesome and returned several times give some boni?

Deity SRs depend on their divine rank, according to F&P, Fierna would be a lesser deity with 6 ranks would have SR 38 indeed, Mystra would have 50. The SR increase of the PCs is part of their transcendence to higher dragon entities. On this process my epic campaign lays one of its two main...

I fully agree, the powers at the disposal of gods are vast, and if they want, they could annihilate any potential threat well in advance before it materializes. But there some points argueing against such a strategy. 1) There are other gods. If one evil god decides to unleash hell directly...

Hi folks, I am looking for some ideas on how to handle a fight between a group of epic PCs and twos god. And I mean the gods themselves, not merely avatars. I am thinking about something like the Titans vs. the Greek gods - with the PCs being the titans and two evil gods, well, the divine...

Me again, should have checked the SRD for FOREST FIRES first :erm: Most of it is covered already in my earlier post. But a CR of 6 is a number that probably exceeds something that your party can handle, at least I interpret your description in that way ;)

I have just quickly checked the SRD: Maybe it helps a bit, but a lot is up to the DM. As Celebrim pointed out, wind speed is an important parameter for a spreading fire.

Thanks! I try to view a point from different angles before making a decision (been too much into scientific work, I guess ;) ) Well put! But there is a difference between spellcasting and using skills. A spell provides some sort of answer, being right or just leading off the track, as we have...

True, the Divinition school in the group is now largely inaccessible for the PCs. But I have to clarify the term "banned" with respect of the Divination school. We agreed that the listed Divination spells are not entirely removed from game, but still accessible for NPC "oracle"-type guys. It is...

... seems to be a bit vague. Or I am thinking too much about it. :hmm: From the SRD: Some food for thought: Assume Forbiddance was cast by a chaotic evil cleric. So from the wording one could conclude that those with the Neutral alignment are not harmed. But that would contradict the...

Yes, that is what I thought as well ;) (Psi)SeveredHead's link and the example of WotC's thri-kreen monk says that it may use its unarmed strike PLUS the bite OR make armed attacks ONLY. This is contradictive to the half-dragon example that Dandu gave... :confused: Hrrrmm, I am inclined to...

Just a bump... I guess that a similar question was asked sometime ago, maybe about a druid/monk and his flurry of blows during wildshape (?)

Hi folks, just a quick question: what are the attack boni of a young adult silver dragon monk 7 that uses a flurry of blows? The dragon has 19 racial HD and 7 monk HD, STR 23, and is large. My basic calculations: 19 dragon HD = BAB +19 7 monk levels = BAB + 5, with flurry +4 instead STR 23 =...

By "terrible" you mean a poor choice for a spell? Or poorly designed? For the latter, I have to concur because it leaves open questions, and is very difficult to overcome/remove once being active (as pointed out by Celebrim). A mere 1 % chance per CL for a level 9 spell to remove a level 6...

Just in case that it has not yet found its way to ENWorld: A book about the history of role playing games is about to be released the 15th of April. It is a crowd funding project by a group of German rpg fans. The title is "Drachenväter - Die Geschichte des Rollenspiels und die Geburt der...

Update Last sunday, the battle took place... right after some delicious chocolate cake and some cups of coffee ;) At the beginning of the session I asked to put up the big battle map onto the table... Goals of Team Evil aka the Cult of the Dragon (1x necromancer 11/wearer of purple 3, 1x...

After some additional search, I stumbled across some fragments that describe four Time Gates that exist in Faerûn. The descriptions are more or less accurate, leaving space for the DM to flesh everything out. The gates are very old, possibly older than the first Sarrukh empires (?). While these...

Hmm, I doubt that the DM had the intention of killing some (or all) PCs at that low level. I got more the impression that he relied too much on a) the calculated CR and b) hoped that we as players act in a better tactical way. For a), I made the experience that at low party levels, you have to...

;) Only if you think of a single universe in which time is a strictly linear concept. If you assume that changes of a succesion of events due to time travel automatically "produce" an alternate universe (which could be if you reduce Einstein's relativity theory that says that space and time are...

:lol: Yes, but only one-way, I assume. This is cool and gives me a lot of ideas, many thanks! I was thinking that magical time travel was perhaps something epic. It would reduce it´s use to a controllable number... I think ;) For non-epic campaigns, that Time Teleport is interesting. Nice...

Ok, from that point of view I could agree. But the rules are not fully clear, because the SRD just says that goblins with NPC classes have a CR -2, thereby not excluding PC classes. ;) Or did you include the elite array already? But then it leaves still some room for the DM to adjust the...
