Hmmm, this is interesting: does the AMF NOT extend into a dragon's stomach? If you take the wording strictly, starts the emanation OUTSIDE the dragon, e.g., on its snout, back, claw, or anything else the creature defines as point of origin at the time of casting of AMF?!

:] That is one part of the story. The PCs don't know that their adversaries have a bunch of information collected already (and who these foes are, the group has received a clue, but no clear idea), and now make their move to stop them. The PCs, however, acted faster than expected, so that the...

:D I was just taking the PCs' side for a moment, and elaborated a few possible ways to handle the situation if I'd play the casters. But when I'm DMing, the players have to figure it out themselves (and maybe surprise me with a clever solution). Dandu: True, but when the dragon is starting...

Lords of Madness where Invoke Magic is described is not used so far IMG, but I tend to give an unusual spell to the party sometimes. Still, the spell is very expensive, and allows only ONE casting of a spell of 4th or lower level. Better than nothing, though...

So true, but still I like DMing high-level parties... if some agreements and house rules are accepted. Using the rocks as a way of attack seems fair, but may be considered the way of a coward (which dragons are mostly not, because it would admit that they could be bested by "inferior" creatures...

That would give him some punch for maybe the first two rounds. But it is more book-keeping for the DM, especially when the first Greater Dispelling is incoming... I've done such buffing scenarios earlier in epic campaigns, but there is now something like a gentleman's agreement IMG to refrain...

Hmm, that sounds like a house rule (fair enough to work like that), but going by the RAW, a dragon's flight is not magical (see MM and Draconomicon). Same for the -5 penalty to AC and attacks. A dragon's AC and attacks are not lowered within an AMF. While I find the idea of self combustion in...

My epic campaign is currently quite dracocentric, and I wondered why a dragon with a sufficiently high caster level would not select Antimagic Field as one of his level 6 spells. Give a dragon this spell, and play him properly as a DM, i.e., according to the dragon's high intelligence score...

I am not sure if a list of "class spells" is eligible for dragons that cannot cast spells yet, i.e. where the caster level entry is marked by a "-". I would rule that such a young dragon (like the white wyrmling) is treated as a non-caster, and needs decent ranks in UMD to use a wand with an...

I'm playing now a dragon PC for years in a now epic group. I started with a wyrmling brass dragon who grew up as the years passed, and who is now a juvenile dragon. My dragon started with racial hit dice only, but between the age categories, he gained levels as a bard (brass dragons are very...

And such a discussion is a good oppurtunity for further development of the game. Often such discussions seem to start because a spell is considered too powerful or broken outright (at least in the groups I played), cheesy magic items came next (like the Animated Tower Shield of Adamantine...

I agree, it depends very often on the style of play. If gentleman's agreement work, good! But for this special group with the banned spells, most earlier efforts to reduce the power of spell casters to potentially ruin a plot from mid- to high-levels failed more or less... In fact, the second...

After over 20 years of playing and DMing (A)D&D, we agreed now in one 3.5 group after some intensive discussion a long list of spells that we considered story-breaking or simply overpowered. Plus, the selection of spells is limited to the PHB, ELH, FRCS, PGtF, Complete Scoundrel, Mage, Warrior...

Hmm, I consider this somewhat fair as well IF the PC gets a template by force (i.e., without wanting it), but it is different if the PC just seizes the opportunity to get buffed with a cool template (i.e., a voluntarily acquired template). This is the case in my group with the mnk/ftr/drd. To...

Halivar, this sounds interesting! I google'd for this but it seems that my google-fu is weak for this special task... Someone out there to help with a link or pdf???

Some ideas for natural phenomena in an old mine: - old bridges likely to break => need some ideas to cross a chasm. Players get some fine ideas unless they simply use Dim.Door, Fly, et al. Depends on your PC levels. - release of toxic, possibly inflammable gas. Roll saves secretly. Maybe give...

Both ideas have their advantages, thanks for input! :) If I would proceed by the RAW, the PC would be at level 32, she would not gain any levels, until her comrades have catched up (more or less). Or if she decides to get cured... the party's cleric of Ilmater will happily help, I guess. Just...

Last session, the monk (nun) 12/fighter 4/druid 8 (patron: Selune) decided to get voluntarily infected with lycanthropy by a weretiger to improve her chances in upcoming events. For me as DM, most changes of the PC stats are quite straight forward. HD increase as stated for the weretiger...

Hi folks, my group has just made their first adventure after starting with new PCs. I am playing a Rog 1/Clr 1 of Tymora which will take the PrC Fortune's Friend from Complete Scoundrel (after taking 2 more levels of Clr, 1 more level of Rog, and 1 level Ftr). So, levels 7 to 11 are "booked"...

Netheril Currently, my campaign involves the flying city of Shade from the Forgotten Realms setting. If that's what you're after, you may check 3.0 and 3.5 sources like Lords of Darkness, Lost Empires of Faerûn, or even some AD&D stuff like Netheril - Empire of Magic.
