Balagos, the Flying Flame (Faerûn), a red great wyrm. I like that guy. Strong enough to have an aura of authority, even to level 25 PCs...He's one of the major NPCs in my current epic campaign. Besides, I LIKE dming EVIL dragons :] and I'm BADD, so... EDIT: Forgot the Purple Dragon. But I...

PrCs are a quite nice way to add some special stuff to a PC. Some are nice, balanced, and offer good opportunities for role playing. Others are a DM's headache, and offer different ways for roll-playing... Example 1: The Eldritch Knight in combination with the feat Arcane Strike. The damage...

Mine's a dragon in the night, in front of a light source. Found the picture in the depths of The Web... The call sign of my pilot in X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter was Dark Dragon.

Sounds good. But I'd prefer protective clothing when walking close to a fresh lava flow ;) Not a fur, but something thick that does not ignite quickly, like leather....

You're right (and I forgot that celestial polar bears have cold resistance, thanks to remind me). But the sorcerer is also an alienist and so he summoned a pseudonatural polar bear. Hm, not sure if these pseudo-bears still have cold resistance...IIRC, one of the attacking winter wolfs did some...

I'm currently playing two PCs in a 4.0 house ruled group (although some players IMG would say that one of these PCs is only a class feature ;) ). The main character is a hathran (Clr 4 / Sor 3 / Hth 6), following the table in the FRCS. The hathran update (in the PGtF) was out too late, so the...

So far the party has not encountered any polar bears in an arctic environment, and so DM was not forced to come up with any ruling (the summoned bear didn't receive environmental damage, IIRC)...or all polar bears in that campaign are already dead :lol: But still we were wondering about the...

Ok, here's what happened in the session last night: The party is hunting some giants in very cold arctic environement. During daytime, temperatures are at roughly -30 to -40 °F (meaning, 1d6 points of cold damage per minute). During night, temperatures are at ca. -60 °F. Protected by Endure...

The Sades is a group of epic-level adventurers which are mainly active in and around Tethyr since 1358 DR. Only Alvin and Sigbert are founding members still alive. The PCs were build following AD&D rules, using a 82-point-buy method. The Sades is an abbrevation of the initials of the party...

Umm, that's why they've kept Regenerate among the standard 3.5 spells ? ;)

It's not only you. ;) And I'm quite certain that sometimes the players come up with strange (or better: stupid) plans to achieve something. At least IMC. But wait, there was that funny thread about stupidiest things players have done in game...

Quite often the encounters IMC outclass the party (2 - 6 levels above the average party ECL). But no TPK so far. The players know that I expect some planning before or even during a fight to even the odds. And it worked quite well so far. From time to time there's an encounter where the PCs can...

It is up to the DM to keep the balance within the campaign. If a PC likes sundering the foe's weapons - ok, let him do so. But, as was already said, use also foes without sunderable weapons in a fight, the different monster manuals are full of these creatures. Maybe some opponents want to...

Ouch :eek: ...crit confirmed by a caster of level 15, opponent fails the save => 300 points of damage => smack down qualified...

It was about time for me to DM...roughly one year after I joined a group (which, by the way, still exists, after over 14 years of gaming. The actual campaign lasts roughly for 8 years now and has become epic). Normally, the DM hands the job over to a player when he has finished his story. So...

Cat Folk in games...well, in Master of Orion you may encounter or play the Mrrshan (a cat folk race with a "slight" touch on warfare). There was also a novel describing the Kzin, who are space traveling cat folk (heck, what was the name of that novel ??). I don't have problems with cat folk...

I don't see a big problem about that fighter vs wizard thing. I'm DMing an epic campaign (PCs at level 24), the party has a paladin15/cleric (fighting with a holy avenger), a fighter4/cleric (fighting with a +3 bastard sword), two wizard guys and a druid. Against foes with quite high SR (40 and...

Consider taking Power Attack. Since the spiked chain is a two-handed weapon, the power attack damage is also doubled :] Cleave is also nice against weak or injured foes. If you're playing a Faerûnian PC, consider taking the Wolf Berserker feat. It makes trip checks easier and allows you...

There were some other nice AD&D spells I sometimes miss: Glas Steel (right? I have the german AD&D PHB where the spell is called Glasstahl). Duo Dimension. Nap (Sleep 1 hour, get the benefits of 8 hours of sleep, including refreshing spells! Overpowered...). Summon Dust Devil (I think that...

A dragon. Always. May it be an ally (like the silver dragon Silverstar for the Sades, or the pseudodragon familiar Lorris of the NPC wizard Artanis), a neutral behaving dragon (like the young adult green dragon Terixian or the great wyrm half-fiend shadow dragon Ushmerassi) or an enemy (like...
