    Wild empathy beneath the waves

    First of all, I am sorry for being unclear. I am in total agreement with you guys here - I think a druid can "talk" with any animal. What I mean is, do you think the druid in my example should have difficulties "talking" to the fish not because they are from an unfamiliar terrain.. but because...

    Wild empathy beneath the waves

    Quick question. A 'typical' druid (i.e forests and plains) is part of a group whose current adventure places them underwater (sunken ship, water-filled dungeon... elemental plane, etc). They encounter a dangerous animal! It could be an octopus, or a shark, but whatever it is - it is hostile...

    Buying magic items: How do PCs know what's for sale?

    Firstly, I'm going to explain that I really like the idea Pathfinder came up with for buying and selling magic items in a community. It is a really neat alternative to the "MAGI-MART" system that developed beforehand. However, I am curious as to how other DMs let the players know what kind of...

    Looking for magic items with 'quirks'

    Hello everyone, Currently, the players in my campaign have their characters searching through the home/laboratory of a now deceased wizard. This is a good opportunity for me to hand out some treasure and keep the PC wealth on target. However, I would like to include more than just the standard...

    Wind Strength using CMB

    Oh... Ha ha, it must have happened when I wasn't looking. I was so confused trying to figure out what rule I had broken! As for people's suggestions, structural damage is a good idea. Perhaps each strength deals an increasing number of damage dice? 2d6, 3d6,5d6 etc? As for tornadoes, the...

    Help! Players have avoided encounter - need an alternate.

    Thanks! This, plus the rules in Stormwrack for ships and storms should be enough for me to work something out. Heh, I didn't mention it because I thought it irrelevant to the topic at hand but since you asked (and I'm glad you did!): They have come to the conclusion (and rightly so) that the...

    Wind Strength using CMB

    I posted this on the Paizo boards but I thought it'd be cool to bring it here too: I was preparing for my campaign when I saw that the Winds Force table for Pathfinder remained the same from 3.5. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that system, but I thought "Hey! Strong winds seem like a...

    Help! Players have avoided encounter - need an alternate.

    Looking over the great ideas here, I fully plan on letting them attempt to sail across the river. The problem that I have here is that the Swan Boat of the feather token has a distinct lack of details. I know it can carry 32 Medium creatures or 8 horses. I know it can go 60ft in a round. But...

    Exalted Wildshape = Multiple Smites?

    The Book of Exalted Deeds has a feat called Exalted Wildshape. Basically, it lets the druid add the celestial template to any animal they change into. It also grants the use of the supernatural abilities of the template, smite evil for example. So, Druid A with this feat changes into a...

    Help! Players have avoided encounter - need an alternate.

    Hey all, So a quick break down: The PCs are on one side of a river and they must get across. The problem is that due to the current hurricane-like weather conditions, the local authorities have closed the bridge down to all traffic. I had originally planned for a neat encounter where the PCs...

    Need some help with some foreshadowing.

    Hey everyone, I'm currently running a campaign that has just gotten started. I've got the main story arc worked out into a few major steps, as follows: 1. The party, on a random "beginner's quest", encounters a few bystanders complaining of being ill. It has nothing to do with the adventure...

    mapping before game... (DM)

    I use my digital camera. I set up the the map that I want on my game mat - I use Dungeon Tiles, and World Works 3D models, some dry erase markers, etc. Then I take a picture, transfer it to my computer. I'll open it up in the GIMP and play around with it if I need to but usually, I'll print it...

    Daggerspell Stance: Need some balance/breaking advice.

    Hey everyone In the Spell Compendium, there is a spell called Daggerspell stance. It's a 2nd lvl, swift action type spell that grants bonuses when the character wields daggers. Specifically, it gives a +2 to hit and damage when full attacking with a dagger in each hand. If you fight...

    Encounter: Fixing a Magic Item

    Heh, Usually I am afraid to give more details cause I don't want to bore people but since you asked: The item is a broken orb of storms. I think that the lab itself will have all sorts of random and adverse weather effects inside, so while it won't be a combat encounter per se, there will be...

    Encounter: Fixing a Magic Item

    Hey everyone, Here is the scenario: the PCs are in a town plagued by strange accidents and disasters. They have found the cause; a powerful magic item that is damaged, causing it to go haywire. The goal is for the PCs to repair or otherwise fix the thing before it ruins or destroys the town...

    The Opposite of Envy

    Strictly speaking, Envy and Jealousy are not the same thing. Envy is just as you describe here; wanting what someone else has or feeling that you deserve something more than the one who got it. Jealousy is what one feels when they are afraid someone else is going to take what they have. A...
