Hey all, Here is the scenario: A party is travelling through a dungeon. In the 5th room, they come across a statue holding a goblet. There is a small rhyming riddle inscription that suggests if they put water into the goblet, the statue will produce some gold and if they put wine into the...

Hey all, One of my players has opted to play a "Mystic Ranger" from Dragon #336. (Go! Go! Mystic Ranger!) The class offers 5th level Ranger spells and includes a small list, made up solely of PHB spells. However, now there are a lot of source books out there with new and fancy spells that...

No no... incorporeal...

Your party walks into a large open room - the goal they seek is in plain sight on the other side. As they start to walk towards it they are stopped by an invisible wall and very soon, they realize there is a whole maze that they cannot see between them and the end. In your opinion, what parts...

Hey everyone! Thanks for all your help. Using it all, I've come up with a plan and felt I should share it with you. The beam is one of force. It repels all matter so nothing can enter a square the beam is in, with the following exceptions: - A character can run or charge though but they have...

That was the original plan yes, using Force Golems from MMV. Now, I am not so sure. The beam is supposed to be an obstacle. The idea being that the party would have to puzzle out its source, and then turn it off so they can continue. However, now I have a problem: if the laser is supposed to...

By having a storm trooper shoot at you. :lol: Seriously, I'm posting this here since the scenario is taking place using Pathfinder rules. In the game I am leading, the party is in a maze like dungeon. They are about to enter a 25 ft. x 25 ft. room. Cutting directly down the middle of this...

Lots of good answers here, Since someone asked for more details: The wizard is an evoker - based in ice magic and other cold energy spells. I've been playing him as a logician or high-intellectual to get his Lawful Neutral alignment across. Stereotypically, he has an emotionless or "cold"...

The situation: The players of my game have been helping an NPC wizard track down and use a powerful artifact that appears once every 100 years. The item is a throne that can be used once, giving the recipient great power, before vanishing again for another century. What none of them know...

Here is the situation that brought up my question: An evil wizard, under the guise of a kind old soul, invites the party to have tea. The tea is spiked with lich dust poison. Once they start to suffer its effects, the wizard attacks. Now if I, the DM, had deducted 400gp per dose of poison per...

If you read the snake's swiftness spell it says that it does not work on a target that has "already made an additional attack, due to a prior casting of this spell, from the haste spell, or from any other source..." What other sources are there that qualify? A speed weapon obviously, I think...

Hello, I've got a player who has decided their Lawful Good character always tells the truth. The player is an experience roleplayer and really enjoys the drama of "fighting the good fight." I'd like to help him by giving this truth-telling concept some depth. I'm looking for some fantasy...

Quick question: A paladin has the infamous Vow of Poverty feat. At 5th level, she gets the Divine Bond ability and chooses to take the celestial spirit over the divine mount. She can now enhance her weapon, let's use the example from the VoP: a quarterstaff - but does she now own a magic...

Hey all, The 10 basic Knowledge skills are a standard lot that cover a huge range of topics. Every so often however, you run across a field of study that makes you stop and scratch your head as to where it belongs. Some people just make it a new knowledge skill on its own - and there is...

Thanks everyone for your ideas! Taking them, I created the following: - A ring of minor acid resistance that causes the wearer to speak and understand only Terran (a language none of the PCs know). - Bracers of Armour +4 that have the weight and ACP of chainmail. - A sustaining spoon that...

1. There can be no child as the two opposing alignments cancel each other out. 2. The child is completely human because the two opposing alignments cancel each other out. 3. A new type of Outsider [native] that is based on Neutrality - you can make up something equivalent in strength to the two...

Good question. After dwelling on it I have come up with thus: He is a cleric of the Goddess of Kinship and Community. He's an avid astrologer, always looking to the stars and people's signs in order to divine the future. Since he is accurate most of the time, the villagers believe him to be...

I'm hoping to tap into the imagination here to help me come up with a storyline for a small adventure. What I have is this: The party is asked to help a small village whose priest has vanished. No one thinks it is foul play, but it is mysterious and worrisome - especially since the priest's...

Hello and thank-you. Your advice on the matter was very helpful and appreciated so I thought I'd post the results of the session with you all. The party decided to try the bridge in the end. They did a very good job of getting most of the way across but just at the last section, a series of...

Hey everyone! IMC, the party are eventually going to be the 1st ones to discover a tremendous, world-threatening, danger: an unknown super-plague. I have two options on how to reveal this and need your advice. 1. The party finds a single case - very isolated. With it comes a red herring that...
