This isn't the normal way I would "reward" action - they did get more out of the incident than spent spell slots and a death; they did manage to disarm one of the assailants of a weapon worth some nice and needed cash, and using a few scry spells gained more information about their attacker's...

Did this... this is one of the NPCs that the PCs don't necessarily know where his allegiances lie, but they also have some reasons to distrust him. I think he's going to figure into exposing some the depth of the plot as well - he's been in cognito for a few game weeks because the PCs ditched...

They are on a time constraint in a way - if they can keep the artifact they have away from the BBEG for another 200 some-odd game days, his plans will be upset for the next 224 years, as he must use the first artifact on a particular concordance of calendars and energies which only occurs once...

I have a problem, and I'm not sure how to fix it. It appears I have potentially overloaded my players with options, hooks, and paranoia. Almost any decision that needs to be made takes upwards of an hour of discussion to make, because no one can decide any of the following - Which hook/option...

I'm actually doing this for NPCs I'm working on for an encounter, and don't want to overdo it against the PCs. The NPC would be 14th level when gaining the second evasion trait.

Does evasion from different classes stack to create improved evasion like uncanny dodge does? I'm not near books, and I can't seem to find anything in the SRD that's helpful. I appreciate anyone taking the time to answer this question.

I'd probably go with them being katar. It's about the closest thing they resemble.

I tried getting rid of the cleric class for similar reasons to the ones you are dealing with - the homebrew setting I developed had at its center a religious duality similar in many respects to present-day Zoroastrianism, and I wanted the religions in my game to feel like present day religions...

Thanks everyone!

Crud. I'm trying to figure out an ad-hoc award for a significant portion of the story so far, and I wanted some ideas on what I should consider. Thanks for the quick response. I was afraid that was what the answer was.

I can't find the XP tables in the SRD. Is that because they aren't there, or because I'm just not seeing them? Thanks!

I have to be careful how much I say here, because I know at least one of my players reads ENWorld... :) In my campaign, there is an overarching world organization left over from an empire that fell millenia ago called the Tribunal of Arcane Law. It is an accepted part of the remaining human...

I hadn't stopped to consider the interactions of Enchantment - those are good points all around, given the potential for misuse and cover-ups, coercion... I've already planned out a lot of the physical evidence and investigation, I just needed to make sure I wasn't stepping into a bad place by...

I'm preparing for a storyline in my campaign where one of the characters' father has been incarcerated for treason. His father was up to this point a loyal vassal and a landed noble, but now his lands have been stripped and he has been thrown into the dungeon pending execution. Now - as one of...

Tyler Durden whispers it in Fight Club. Try this on:

But I did read that the group games at the problem player's house, so ditching him creates a whole other nest of issues. The other thing missing here is age - I didn't see Elephant say how old everyone is, or how long everyone had been playing, both of which could be important to understanding...

Crud... I hadn't even considered items that can modify ability checks... I'm definitely going to have to think into this deeper.

No - that modifies Will Saves, not Wisdom checks. Like if your DM said, "Make me a Wisdom check, DC 19," and you'd roll only a d20 + Wisdom modifier. Are there any feats that in the books from WotC that modify rolls like that?

Are there any feats in the core books, or in WotC supplements, that can be used to give a modifier to Wisdom checks? Not skill checks involving Wisdom, but in straight Wisdom check. I'm doing some modification to a home-brewed class and I need to know what I can expect with feats that can...

Fighter, being a core class, would cause an XP penalty, while Occult Slayer, being a PrC, would not, because PrC do not invoke XP Penalties due to multiclassing. It's an out that would allow him to pick up the weapon proficiencies without having to sack 10% XP or several levels in Fighter to...
