    A dozen metamagic cantrips (meta-cantrips?)

    Actually, True Strike has a duration of "See Text." I'll change these to match. That would, but I think that would move the power level out of the realm of 0-level spells. Part of the balance here is that it costs a round to get the benefit. I'd been thinking that, but I'm prejudiced...

    A dozen metamagic cantrips (meta-cantrips?)

    I've had this idea for a while, and today I finally took the time to flesh it out. Basically, this is an idea to make cantrips a little more useful past level 3. So here are a dozen cantrips that affect the next spell cast. The questions I have are: 1) does this idea have merit (does it make...

    OOTS 386 is up.

    Actually, a level of assassin would take care of all of that.

    48-point buy

    I played in a campaign with similar stats (ours was pick your stats, sum of stat bonuses can not exceed +10, half of stats must be odd and half even). It was fun, but we seemed to have the paper tiger syndrome--we either blew everything completely away or were nearly TPK'd in nearly every...

    Scroll Bandolier

    I'm fairly sure that the FRCS bandolier is for potions, but I think I saw something similar for scrolls in Mongoose's Ultimate Equipment Guide. If you don't have either of those, Agent Oracle's idea seems reasonable to me.

    I'm an incompetent normal-magic DM--how do I fix it?

    My problem isn't so much a lack of familiarity with magic on a party level (in fact, wizard is my preferred class to play) as it is a lack of understanding how prolific magic would affect things on a global level. From what I'm hearing, though, the general consensus is to ignore the global...

    I'm an incompetent normal-magic DM--how do I fix it?

    I'm comfortable, but I've been feeling vaguely dissatisfied for the last few sessions. I'm actually starting to miss the "cool treasure" normally associated with a D&D game. From comments made by the players, I suspect they are, too, although they're trying to be good sports about it and seem...

    I'm an incompetent normal-magic DM--how do I fix it?

    Mostly accounting for things like widely available magic. It's fairly easy to look at the characters and have a ballpark understanding of their resources. Sure, they may remember something that I've forgotten, or think of a new or clever way to use what they have that I hadn't thought of, but...

    I'm an incompetent normal-magic DM--how do I fix it?

    I think that perhaps I haven't been really clear. Sure, I forget the occasional special ability or whatever, but I really don't think that's the problem. In my experimental campaign I'm running now, the group has 6 10th-level characters (though no full spellcasters), and I haven't had *too*...

    I'm an incompetent normal-magic DM--how do I fix it?

    For a long time I've thought I that I prefer running low-powered, low-magic games. I haven't minded playing normal/high-magic, I just haven't liked running it. I ended up scuttling my one real attempt at a high-magic campaign in FR, in part due to my inability to sort out all of the...

    Point Buy Variant: Level Adjustment Variant

    Someone suggested something like this a few months back, and I'm doing this in a current campaign. Instead of the +1 to any stat every four levels, a character gets +1 point buy at every new level and +1 point buy every fourth level. This gives 24 points over 19 levels (ending at 20th), which...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

    I'm generally one of the "patient lurkers," but I want to speak up and say thanks for this story hour. It's been great, I've really enjoyed it, and I'm sorry to see it end. Thanks for all the hard work! It will be missed.
