    Fire Seeds and Sunbeam

    Arr, that's too bad...*checks SRD 3.5* yeah, it states that you need a standard action to evoke a beam. *Sigh*, I have to remember that when my druid wants to pulverize some undead :heh:

    Monster spread sheet

    Hi, I'm looking for an Excel-type monster spread sheet (something like where templates and/or advancements can be added), even if it is for MM I "only". Thanks for help, the Dark Dragon

    Describe your favorite traps

    Ouch! Quite expensive, though. :D

    Describe your favorite traps

    Grimtooth's Book of Traps is really worth a study. My favorite from that book: The turning hallway...put a Black Pudding in the lower cavern and a death Tyrant (with antimagic eye, of course) in the upper cavern...(the players learned that a normal, unmagic torch still has its use...unless it...

    Tee Pee Kay

    Yep, that's how RttToEE ended for my FRCS group. Some days before the party was killed by the temple forces, the group informed several powerful guys like Elminster, the harpers, the high priests of the church of Helm and the druids of the Mossstone circle, about the cultists and their evil...

    Tee Pee Kay

    Ahh, RttToEE... Hm, the party made it to the crater island. After being repelled by the Fire Temple in a huge battle. We had sessions just with making plans, getting equipment, searching allies and so on. And? Two dead PCs during the fight against the fire guys (plus two other casualties...

    Common new DM mistakes list...

    The trip / bull rush / trample (overrun?) rules. Even veterans get into trouble with those from time to time. A very short version of these rules attached to the DM screen might help. The different penalties. A sheet of paper with all penalty types and a very brief description should always be...

    Casting spells out of an antimagic field?

    Yep. Ever seen a great wyrm buffed to the maximum (along with contingency: AF) that was the target of MD cast by a wizzie in the first round of combat? And that wyrm then makes a flyby attack and snatches the wizard and tears him to pieces in an AF... Rinse, repeat for the rest of the party...

    Your username's origin?

    I like dragons - those on the dark side more than the others. Did I mention that I'm a vile evil DM? :]

    More D20F questions

    Hi, recently, three members of my party had a little space fight, and as rookie to d20F, I'm not sure if I DMed it right. Ok, the party is D&D FR based and on a mission in a futuristic world (similar to the wasteland setting in d20F but on a higher PL). Some party members "learned" Starship...

    What is your most memorable role playing moment?

    Two nice stories I remember... 1) The party was imprisoned by dragon cultists during the Time of Troubles. The party wizard was bound to the top of a city wall by dragon cultists, after he has stolen a ring of dragon calling...and used it...(he knew that Balagos the Flying Flame, a red great...

    Your Favorite Region in the Forgotten Realms

    The longest campaign so far (over 6 years now) is developed in and around the events in Tethyr (the civil war, the undead of Castle Tethir, Balagos the Flying Flame, the Twisted Rune, the Reclamation Wars). Lots of background (AD&D and 3.0 stuff, some novels) has made it quite easy to get some...

    Cool, that's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot for the input, guys :) Dark Dragon

    quick d20 Modern question: Knowledge (tactics)

    Hi folks, just a quick simple question: What bonuses provides Knowledge (tactics)? I'm DMing a d20 future D&D group, but have momentarily no access to the d20 modern rules book :confused: Thanks in advance, Dark Dragon

    Firearms in D&D

    Firearms were not the reason that the use of medevial armor decreased after centuries of use. An arrow fired by a longbowman could easily penetrate a knight's armor (the french knights suffered a bitter defeat at Azincourt in the 15th (?) century by english longbow archers), as well as a heavy...

    Complete Adventurer & Races of Destiny Prestige Classes (from Sharn)

    Hm, the Shifter is not on the list (or missed I something?). The Shifter in MotW is a very powerful PrC, the revised (unofficial) druidic shifter (no undead, aberration, construct, outsider forms) is still good, but fits better for a druid.

    What 9th-level spells should any Wizard prepare?

    Gate is nice, but burning 1500 XP for summoning a tough ally hurts. Seems to be more a NPC spell. Hm, the summoned creature may come back later and ask the guy who summoned it for a little favor :] Wish was never used IMC, although the party wizards have the spell in their books. Losing 5000...

    What 9th-level spells should any Wizard prepare?

    Well, just out of experience, I voted for: Shapechange. There are dozens of threads about this spell. It is powerful. It can easily destroy a whole story. It can make other classes look weak. It can be fun, though. Power Word Kill. If you don't want to wait more rounds during the other party...

    2E monsters that haven’t been converted

    There is a monster list in my group as well, and a few monsters originiate in AD&D times, especially Faerûn CS: Maztica: Margay (Wild Cat) Ahuizotl Tabaxi Tlalocoatl (Rain Dragon) Other sources: Eyewing (hmm, maybe that's already in Ethereal Creatures...) Kodragon (Dragon Lance, IIRC) Kani...

    What 7th-level spells should any Wizard prepare?

    Voted for: - Mage's Sword (cast it and let it fight on its own, while you cast other spells. It is good against incorporeal creatures and has a quite good attack bonus) - Spell Turning (comes in handy when you're targeted by Greater Dispelling, Horrid Wilting,...) - Greater Teleport (simply...
