an interesting tactic that. i could see how dinging a body for something horrid like 7 points of con could really aid in the delivery of the death attack. however, i'd probably rule 'sneak, death, poison' only because it seems how it'd happen in reality. also, i'm the DM of my game, and that's...

I was recently thinking about doing something like this, as about half of the time when someone in my group of five makes a new character, it's usually some random guy hanging out in a pub or a bar, and then the newer characters just so happen to run into him and they all decide that they should...

that's a good point actually. i suppose we don't play in a high-powered game, or it could be that i've never formally DM'd a 3e game much past 3rd or 4th level, but maybe i was just surprised how effective i thought this combo was; especially since at 6th you could pick up improved skirmish and...

i'm curious as to why more scouts don't use 'shape soulmeld' to get dissolving spittle? it seems like it'd be worth the feat spent, as it'd net you a continuous, undisarmable 1d6 acid of ranged touch goodness. if you've a way to get incarnum, like being an auzurin, it can get pretty decent when...

while i realize the reasons behind it (balance in game economy) it seems weird that PCs will routinely go out and drop 750gp for a fully-charged 1st level wand, yet, should one of them opt to craft and sell that same item, they're only able to get 375gp for it. i'd like to have a better reason...

not that it's come up lately, but one of my PCs has geared himself to begin crafting items for the rest of the party, as well as to perhaps earn a bonus source of income. not that i'm overly worried, but from the looks of it, if he wants to craft an item worth 1000gp, he needs to pony up half...

oh, i allow it, but they thought it was 'dumb' and didn't want to opt for it. looks like i'll be telling a certain few to deal, cause i'm not budging.;)

one of my PCs, who is greatly annoyed at a few of his odd-numbered ability scores, has proposed to me the creation of 'lesser' items of ability boosting - basically, just like their larger cousins of +2, +4 and +6, except they're +1 in effect, and scaled down thusly. ie: headband of least...

assuming the maximized aspect of the metamagic is from a feat possessed by the caster in question, only that aspect would be raised, not the rod's. however, a maximized scorching ray would be effectively a 5th level spell - due to maximize spells' addition of 3 spell levels - and effectively be...

i seem to recall that i read a feat that enabled any character with the 'psionic' subtype - whether through class or race - was given a +1 to saves and attack rolls as long as someone else with the psionic subtype was within 30' feet of them. i don't recall when/where i read or heard of this...

i second, third and fourth-guessed myself when i originally came to a similar conclusion a few weeks ago: it's not me, it's them. usually, when a DM says a statement like that, alarms should and did go off. the odd part is, they're happy with the campaign and like all of the variety, and several...

automatic success concerns me, because nothing else is so easy in this game. but on the same merit, by the time the foe in questions' scent comes wafting over to the warlock, it'll only be enough to give him a leg-up against his allies for a surprise round.

hey gang, just curious about the following passage from the d20srd: that's all fine and good, but how do i determine if they've smelled the person or creature in question? a wisdom check? a survival check? i thought it may happen automatically, as scent is fairly second-nature to creatures...

that's the odd part - they haven't really overshadowed him. the group is mostly old 2e players who feel that a cleric should essentially be akin to the 2e stereotype of heavy armour, competent in melee, wading around the battlefield to heal fallen allies - basically, a second tier fighter. a...

heya all, the newest member of our campaign also feels like he's the least useful, he's commented on the last few encounters the group's been in. his character was built as an intellectual, with stats favouring the more mental scores, and with a low strength and constitution, he isn't well...

i only concern myself with their stats because if they've ranks in weaponsmithing, or alchemy, they may be able to turn some profit - trust me, my players are keen into this - and i wanted to know what their average scores might be. as an aside, what does enworld think of adding the reputation...

ahh, interesting. sounds like what i'm shooting for, but my PCs - for some reason - seem to hate the point buy situation and would rather opt for 4d6 x6 to determine their scores. however, would it be game-wrecking to allow the followers to use the nonelite array? i only ask because if they ask...

just like it sounds, how do you calculate ability scores for your PCs followers and cohorts? i personally plan on giving the cohort the elite array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) and the followers the nonelite array (13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8) and my PCs seem to be alright with this; while they're not...

whatever you do, don't kill her off to teach her a lesson for ignoring your boring diatribes concerning attacks of opportunity, even if she totally does a bone-headed move like tries to run - not tumble - through a crowd of heavily-armed warriors who are waiting for her. ;) more seriously...
