Hi all, for my epic campaign, I am searching spells of a certain topic: spells that have time as a theme. Well, some classics are: Time Stop Temporal Stasis Haste Slow But then? The campaign will involve some time travel beginning in 1382 or 1383 DR with "stops" at the times of High Netheril...

Ah right, forgot that... Can you please give a link (SRD) or page in the books for that? I didn't find it but would like to tell it the DM :) The numbers are just off my mind, but they should fit regarding the encounter. So, the party has faced tougher foes than being adequate for the level...

D&D 3.5 rules are alway good for a surprise, even after years of gaming... like the rule that a goblin NPC's CR is reduced by 2. Quote from the SRD 3.5: "Challenge Rating Goblins with levels in NPC classes have a CR equal to their character level -2." Why wondering? Well, last session our DM...

Good idea, me likes it. IIRC, there was one sort-of B movie about modern tech (fighter planes, guns) that entered somehow a fantasy world with magic, medieval fighter types, and dragons chasing that new airplane... I once made a scenario about sci-fi combined with the Realms. The d20 Modern and...

Shivering Touch is not (yet?) available in my group. The splat book selection is limited to FRCS, PGtF, MoF, MonoF, Complete Arcane, Divine, Warrior, Adventurer, Scoundrel, Mage, Champion, Dragon Magic, Draconomicon, PHB, DMG, MM, MM1&2. The DM can of course use whatever he/she sees fit, I use...

If you follow this path, make sure that your scimitars are enchantend with the powers of "sizeable" (may increase the weapon size) and "opposable" (let's you use the weapon even in animal form). And get these scimitars made of adamantine (good vs. constructs, stoneskin).

In fact, the players don't tend to plan everything in detail in adavance or develop contingencies for situation x or y. Their style of play has some similarities to real life: you can't plan for everything, and sometimes life is mean (i.e. the dice do not favor the PCs) and you have to accept...

The blindness ist caused by the dragon's breath weapon. The damage done is instantaneous including the blindness because the spell is part of the breath weapon. Therefore it cannot be suppressed in an AMF, i.e., a creature hurt by the breath weapon is not somehow "healed" of lost hp when...

From the pictures in the MMs, I vote for the green dragon, closely followed by the silver and bronze dragons. From gameplay, I used Balagos the Flying Flame (epic great wyrm red) quite often as a master of puppets and true king of Tethyr. From the movies, I really liked Toothless and the small...

The dragon is ready for battle... Its spell selection is mostly based on defensive and emergency exit spells. The few offensive spells don't deal energy damage, but weaken or slow the foes instead. Sjachixen (very old gargantuan red dragon [fire], CR 21, 751 years), "Fire Shadow" Initiative...

Not yet (IIRC). It is still quite cold and snow persists (at least in Hannover), but I am quite sure that the next session on sunday will take place. If a player cannot make it to a session for wheather or other reasons, we communicate via Skype. Works so far.

Got the same impression. But sometimes, the situation perfectly fits for the dragon, e.g., nightly or darkness encounters, challenges that would involve climbing or crossing chasms, fight against melee types without bows. However, those seem to be rare unless the DM builds a story that relies...

:D Well, sometimes I DM the foes in order to "train" the players for a particular encounter which may (or may not) take place later in the campaign but with different monsters using a similar tactical approach. If the players remember their training, it will help them to overcome that challenge...

Agreed, but it is feasible option nevertheless, because it takes out most foes (maybe except the monk), stopping them causing more trouble. Snatch is a standard dragon feat, and it makes the dragon an even more dangerous foe, especially if the party has little time to prepare for combat. What...

:D Crazy idea! Unfortunately, the party has not the time to set it up in detail... But then... Call or Gate in a decent monster, PaO it, create a Wall of Stone (in pointy hat shape), PaO it into adamantine, shrink it, attach the PaO'ed monster on the hat. Geez... all those spells are available...

Water does not always help, as is evident from numerous volcanic islands above sea level ;) Ash is created largely by fragmentation of rocks. If one pours water on molten rock, its surface will cool, crack and produce some amount of ash and steam (plus acids like HCl, H2SO4, and maybe some HF...

True, if a ton of a dragon lands on lava, the poor guy in the dragon's grasp will take a good hot bath... Agreed, and if the AMF'ed dragon attack is executed properly, it will be severe blow to the party. Once one of the two casters (the Enlightened Fist or the Cleric) capable of saving the...

This looks nice, and I definitively would rule that the Force Cage (barred version) resists an AMF. The spell description says that the cage could be made of walls of force, so why should the barred cage be a weaker version of the same spell? It is an expensive spell, and the caster should get...

This looks in parts quite similar to my first idea, and would result in a TPK, more or less. AMF + dragon is a nasty combination. Haste would be suppressed in the AMF. Lava does 20d6 fire damage, but the caster could survive for about 2 or 3 rounds (she has some 150 hp), sufficient time to try...

Although I don't expect any players of my group to be around, I still want to give a spoiler alert first. So... isoChron, DON'T READ ANY FURTHER!!! Now, as requested... The battle field is the slope of an erupting volcano of some 3000 ft height. The volcano is producing a large ash...
