Hmm. This has some some good points. But keep in mind. If you get a colossal sheep without increasing its level on your account, it will actually have a harder time hitting than a normal sheep. Colossal creatures get minus 3 on all attacks. And assuming you haven't given it greater strength or...

If you want to make Raise Dead less common, I suggest you make death less common. That will do it. How to do that? Good question. Well, first, stick to reasonable ELs, many games I've been in have made very big parties, 7 or more people, and then they feel the need to bump up the monsters to...

I like the idea of the free cantrip. Actually the cantrips are all pretty weak. Why not just let Wizards and Sorcerors cast cantrips at will? At high levels, it is hardly worth the effort. At low levels, it is really not enough to make the character a match for fighters or clerics. Maybe limit...

Position Filled - Thank you.

I guess I always assumed you could use Prestidigitation for this sort of effect. It doesn't have a significant combat affects, but it lets you do some cool NCBT things.

Miniatures in general can be problematic: ex. PC: I am going to move forward, will the low wall give me cover from the orc's arrows? DM: What arrows? I said the orcs were armed with scimitars. PC: Oh yeah, but the figure has a bow, so I figured.... Here is a trick I learned from a old DM of...

bump.. Advertisement: Party is looking for a skill spellcaster. Magister, Mageblade, Runethane?

Green Bonds also make good cleric-like classes. They get lots of healing, without sacrificing too many spells. An easy 'mod' is to play them as normal but give them (a) a different template (other than plant) that is appropriate to their divine sphere, and maybe some different class abilities as...

I have three words. "Other Party Members" Just keep this character around the other player characters and they will do what you need to keep this character from getting out of a control. If super diplomat uses his stellar ability to make friends of the local orcs, let the other party members...

The Bonus a Mageblade gives to his Athame is an ehancement bonus. So It would not stack with the +2 of the weapon. However. It is defacto Masterwork, so you could give it +2 worth of other enhancements (keen, flaming, etc..) and get a +5 (for 20th level Mageblade) on top of that for a total...

I am expecting alot from Mystic Secrets... if it supplies more spells, runes, and witchery manifestations, Iwill be happy. I think for Arcaan Evolved I would like Monte to clarify some of the confusing elements... (claiming it is DM's decision is fine, but that is true of all game materials) he...

I ran an entire campaign where the players "The Praetorian Guard" were a band of adventures trying to help along history so that certain prophecies would come to pass and their leader (a landless prince) would become Emperor. It was a very good plot device for the these reasons: (a) it gave them...

Just a little note about the price. Suppose you haven't played AU before and you decide to purchase Arcana Evolved for $50.. If you play one time with a group of five players.. $10 per game. Two times.. $5 a game, the cost of a matinee where I live. People can understandably complain about game...

I think there is a sort of conditioning by negative reinforcement here. (Or is it punishment, I always get those mixed up). If the players learn that leaving NPCs or Monsters alive means facing them in combat again (with greater resources) then they will not do it. If they learn that running...

I have an idea for helping sort through the player requests.. When you contact me, write up a 6th level AU character (or just describe the character without reference to rules if you don't have the book). Explain what she or he is like, and what they did to get to 6th level. That will give us...

I am of the opinion that specialists should really be specialists, so I would give them even less access to other schools. I would say a specialist pick two schools (apart from Divination, and their chosen school) they can only prepare and cast these as a caster of one half their level (that is...

This Just in, for the moment, it appears we will continue playing on Sundays or Saturdays..until further notice

I am pretty sure that one person is all we are looking for at present. Five players is about all I can manage in our current location. But if you are a two, contact me, just in case.

I tried to get people to play and meet last NC GAMEDAY. I was very disappointed that no one came. :( So I am not counting on that. But it might still be a good place to meet people if you get in early and sign up before all the slots are captured by the regulars. But this isn't really a thread...
