    can an animal have the vampire template?

    Perfect answer, SpuneDagr. Like I mentioned earlier, I don't know if I'd have it around all the time, but for a one time lark, it's just brilliant. Kari the Formerly Mad

    Fatigue and Exhaustion

    Hmmm...Just seems to me that there should be more for when the party tries some sort of feat of endurance, like fighting all day and then not sleeping, should kick something in. Anyone use any house rules on this, and if so, how did they work out?

    Fatigue and Exhaustion

    Thanks, dcollins. So let me see if I've got this right as to how I get fatigued: 1. I sleep in armor with an armor check penalty of -5 or worse, and I'm fatigued all next day. 2. I get heat exhaustion, starvation damage, or essentially start to freeze to death, and I'm fatigued. 3. Is that...

    Need help convincing DM

    I think all these "Your DM handled it badly" seema little harsh. Many folks have mentioned that if the DM has a cut scene he wants played out, he should be able to do it. It would have only taken a few extra seconds of saying "Unfortunaly, your barbarian friends blocks your firing path" or some...

    1000 ways to freak out your DM

    103. Explain to your DM your character is obsessed with finding artifacts from Netheril and wants to use them as soon as possible. Start this discussion at the first gaming session. 104. Inform your DM that due to some helpful information your found on a ENWorld post, you'll no longer rolling...

    Fatigue and Exhaustion

    I could use a little nudge in the right direction. I've been able to locate the rules that describe what the effect is when you are fatigued or exhausted, but I've had trouble finding guidelines on what sort of stresses should push my PC's over the edge into fatigue. I assume I'm just not...

    Useless feats (re: Combat Casting)

    As usual, I agree with Crothian here. Endurance provides the following benefit: Benefit: Whenever the character makes a check for performing a physical action that extends over a period of time (running, swimming, holding the character's breath, and so on), the character gets a +4 bonus to the...

    Book of VD: How evil?

    Predictably, Dragongirl is correct in the assumption of all female nudity. None of it, BTW, is particularily erotic or enticing. Half/nude monsters and demon looking things, for the most part. Unlikely to fulfill anyones fantasy, and if it does, please, I don't want to know...:eek:

    can an animal have the vampire template?

    In response to Mr Fidgit: All of your points only express why I love this idea. The local vampire turns a cow into a vampire somehow (who cares how?!) and then puts him with the herd at night with express orders not to kill any cows. Now that the intelligence is 4 instead of 2, he should be...

    Reach weapons

    I'll add one more here that hasn't been mentioned yet: Reach weapon with Quick Draw. You start out with your Glaive, they rush you, you either get an AoO or they are 10' away. If they ever figure out how to close with you, or maybe you don't have the room you'd like, drop the glaive and pull...

    A good Class for interacting with Fiends and Celestials

    Ideas on introducing fiends in your campaign: 1. In your local town, intoduce the characters to a charismatic local (barkeep, blacksmith, thief for higher, tracker for hire). Present the character in a very likeable way. Turns out, of course, he is a fiend in disguise, but he's here for reasons...

    Contingency Questions

    I'm with Jay. The effect is not an action per se, it is pre-programmed, so it's not like you sould ask the 2 mages to make dexterity checks or anything, it should just happen.

    Mega-Adventures Vs. Normal Adventures

    It's hard not to agree with most about mega adventures. My campaign world has an overarching story, and I don't really have the time or inclination to take months or years out for some massive adventure. Plus, the big ones are harder to tie into whatever your doing. Little adventures can be a...

    Clairvoyance and the magical sensor

    I agree with Bret. The DC of 20 makes it a very hard check for most players unless they have very good ranks in Scry, which is as it should be. It is invisible, after all.

    What's wrong with the single-classed Ranger?

    2 thoughts: 1) A number of players im my campaigns have run straight Rangers, and they love them, and I do mean LOVE them. They gush about how sweet their Rangers are, how cool, how blah blah blah their Rangers are. So, there appears to be nothing wrong with the class as written. 2) Dr Zoom...

    D&D artwork which captures something for you

    (Not again!) How's this sorcerer's spell list look?

    Looking at your new spell list, there are a number of things I would recommend. But that's because I've been DMing for a long time, I love playing wizards/arcane spellcasters, and I find it hard to slip out of "All Sorcerer's Must Be Whirlwinds of Destruction" mode. I see numerous posts asking...

    Anyone plays with instant kill?

    <BeginRant> To me, the whole things of may be the greatest evil of all time, Rolemaster. If you never played RM, it was famous for an escalating crit system that ALWAYS (mild exaggeration) resulted in a wizards familiar throwing a rock at Demon Prince and slaying him/her and all the legions of...

    Overland Treks - suggestions?

    We just did a overland trek in my campaign. You might be able to use some of these ideas for pacing and excitement. In our case, time was important and the PC's had to ride hard and long to get where they wanted to be. At one point, they were forced to ride through the night. This brought up...
