    How to challenge PC with arcane eye & arcane sight

    ;) Shouldn't the wizzard then be able to see DEATH in person? :cool:

    How to challenge PC with arcane eye & arcane sight

    Let the foes hide in small tunnels, simple huts or houses, camouflaged holes in the ground or in muddy pools. Use non-magical disguises as peasants, travellers, farmers,... The foes should gather informations about the party: Their spells, strengths, allies, equipment, likely travel routes...

    Supernatural abilities vs. Detect Magic

    Ah well, that's pretty clear to me. Ok, thanks for the input!

    Supernatural abilities vs. Detect Magic

    Hi, a short question: Can a caster detect an ongoing supernatural effect with Detect Magic? Is it somewhere in the PHB/DMG? Can't find it...

    OOTS 450 - Wands are for Suckers

    Maybe Xykon's attack caused it or Miss Tsukiko causes more trouble?

    OOTS 450 - Wands are for Suckers

    :lol: Remembers me of a halfling IMC who got his hands on an alien flamethrower...in a typical FRCS. She had lots of fun with it. Nice strip...and a cliffhanger ;)

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!!

    Yep, burning down the house was my first thought, too. But there are some reasons why the Shadow Masters don't want that. 1) The party would likely retreat into the wilderness (something especially the ranger would like to do). There, the group is more difficult to track and laying an ambush is...

    Nice surprising change in the storyline, I like it.

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!!

    Hm, that would be a nice return for the dwarven eldritch knight who casts Cloudkill on nearly every opportunity. Nice idea! The vrocks won't survive the needed 3 rounds to complete the dance... Can they be summoned or called? Afraid not (or I missed something, wait, checking the srd, no)...

    Have you decided to change systems?

    Mainly I played AD&D and later D&D, also there were some sessions using The Black Eye (das Schwarze Auge, a german RPG system). But there was never a 'permanent' change. Speaking of changing systems, we currently use a modified version of 3.5 (using spell points instead of slots, modified...

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!!

    LOL, yes, I had that idea. The party used that tactic once (with a Symbol of Sleep cast on a pot). But it is quite dangerous (the party may use the ball against the attackers), and most party members have quite good will saves (except for the thief). Hit-and-run, hmm...At least it may force...

    Forgot that: Maniac Mansion (Mordenkainen's Magnificient mansion), the party sorcerer/alienist is almost insane. Remember Howling Mad Murdoch? Then you'll understand :lol:

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!! Hi everybody, I have some questions about strategy and tactics versus a group of 5 to 7 adventurers. A short background: The party owns a large house in the town of Two Stars in Thesk (Faerûn). After about four...

    Which ENWorlder Would You Want to Meet?

    Don't know WHEN exactly I'll show up, but it's quite sure that I will be there. Missed it last year...

    OotS 448

    Fair enough, must have overlooked that :o . Nevertheless, as was mentioned, there seems to be some contradiction within the spell description. At least it is debatable. As a DM I'd allow Xykon's tactic, a very costly level 8 spell should be able to do something ;)

    Sure? Let's look at the srd: Symbol of Death Necromancy [Death] Level: Clr 8, Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: 0 ft.; see text Effect: One symbol Duration: See text Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell allows you to scribe a...

    Nice idea with that bouncing ball of insanity...have to consider it IMC :] Nevertheless, I hoped that the guard would put up a better resistance. One Antimagic Field in conjunction with a grappling monk would totally screw a lich, no matter his levels. But we'll see...

    Which ENWorlder Would You Want to Meet?

    Yeah, Münster is somewhat distant to the Saarland. Maybe some ENWorlders show up at the Spiel in Essen this year. BTW, has someone been at the RolePlay in Münster in April? Hmm, I'd like to see Pooka again, it has been quite a while ;)
