How long has this been going on? Maybe you should try an electronic die roller, there are plenty of them out there that kind people have made. I have the opposite problem with one of my players. In the game I run, one player in particular ALWAYS has the big hits, the crits, makes the saves and...

In response to good points Thank you all for the input. Here's a few responses: 1. Yes, xp's are awarded for defeating the encounter in my campaign. Surrender counts as defeat. The prisoners are then typically tied up. We have been using a variation on the Coup de Grace rules to allow a...

I could use some input. The game I DM currently is a FR campaign where all the PC's are worshippers of Osiris and are LG. One of the Paladins is having trouble because lately, several creatures have surrended in battle as they realized that the cause was lost. The creatures in question are evil...

Ferox4, Jester's got a great point. 13th level and up is where PC's can really start to perform near miracles, especially if they are Spellcasters of any sort. Depending on where they are, they could easily be overwhelmed with requests from needy supplicants for they're services. 13th + is also...

The ideas already present should take care of things nicely. A few addition, if I may... First, are you DMing the group? It appears that way, so it might be wise to allow the rogue to have a device that will up his Use Magic Device skill if he/she was not planning on putting points into it. The...

Howdy, I guess I would say that having a limited view of the world which allows this kind of bigotry is actually pretty lawful neutral. I think. Your elves aren't really evil, they're just typical. Lot's of societies have good and bad features, and this racist attitude is theirs. Historically...

Wishlist I really like most of the suggestions here. Let me chime in: 1.Adding feat flexibility to the Ranger would add a lot of vaule. 2. I recently made the decision to use the CR system as only a very rough guideline in my campaign. I typically send my players against CR's AT LEAST 1 level...

Dwarven Bard Elven Fighter If you allow Prestige classes from DMG as being standard, how about a Half-Orc LoreMaster or Shadow Dancer?

Re: Keep some tums handy I want to take small issue with the idea that a "primitive" society only practices cannibalism or that they don't advance if they do. This is not really anthropologically sound as I understand it. There are difficulties with being a cannibal however. The rules on...

I know I saw a large thread on this same idea quite recently. You might want to search the archives for "Travel". As far as stretching something out over several days, they could meet a band of brigands early who run away quickly after the battle seems to be going poorly, but who then gather...

Hmmm...I play a fairly similar character myself, although he's much lower in level the progression will be a lot like what you have now. He's obsessed with power and the manipulation of energy. He's evil as the day is long, and feels the only way he'll ever be "safe" is by the vast accumulation...

I think it's a fine idea. Non-Combat Spells that leap to mind are Summon Monster (as you already mentioned), Grease, Protection From Evil/Good, Silent Image, Enlarge, Expeditious Retreat (in case they come after you), Magic weapon, and that's just first level spells, the buffs get much better...

I think Pielorinho got it right. Sure, if the guys dragging the game down with his constant preaching or somesuch, get him to lay off. But if he digs the paladins, what's wrong with that? Let him go crazy. As a DM, you can use it as a base to flesh out your world. Make his god require that he...

Moe, IMHO, I would think that this 2nd level Expert, even with Use Magic Device, would have great difficulty using the wands, which is most likely a DC 20. So these won't really add so much as I see it. Also, even with all the gear the guy has all of what?, 20 hp max? Unless he's got lot's of...

Well, folks can do what they like, but we threw out the massive damage rule without too much complaint around the table. It's just that much more likely that the PC's will insta-die when that Fire Giant lays a couple on the cleric when he wasn't paying attention. And as far as automatic failure...

I see lots of people have looked at this, but no replys... As far as practical, I think all the ways you can do it are pretty rough. There are several copies of adjusted databases out there that have some prestige classes added. I think they can all be accessed from EnWorld's E-Tools page. But...

I had the same experience, I e-mailed every name I could dig up at the web page and looked around and found nothing. A friend of mine did just recently send me an updated adaptation of HeroForge with quite a few..."adjustments" that we are all really pleased with. Hey Feaelin, you say your group...

Don't mess with the die. The PC's will find it that much more fun and amusing when the NPC finally crits, and others here have pointed out that eventually, the law of averages will make it all work out. Besides, when he's powerful enough that even the worst rolls are likely to hit, you'll all...

As a DM, I usually handle it pretty much like Kamikazi Midget. The PC's are based in a fairly small town, but it has lots of passing merchant activity, so they can buy or sell pretty much anything up to 3000gp. After that, if they want something special, they will not find it in town, but can...

I've also used several, and all of them have been a big hit. I'm actually running Wedding Bells next session, and we ran Stoned Gnomes (which is really funny) and How Rougher Lost His Rage. I'll also be using Soul Sucking in Sterich, which fits into my campaign perfectly (my gang are big undead...
