A simple idea... those NPC's had to fight some of those knights to get down there, right? If so, it'd be reasonable to knock some hit points off them and/or some spells off the cleric.

This party was made in 1E, and has been changed over. Norman - human fighter - greatsword or the axe on his rod of lordly might when he's feeling showy Johnny - human fighter - spear Sylia - elf fighter/rogue - longsword and shortsword Telemon - elf wizard - lots of spells, and maybe a dagger...

I'm interested in making a creature that would be, well, half incorporeal, I guess. See, I want the creature to get the benefits of being invulnerable to normal stuff, fly, ignore armor, vulnerable to force, etc, but I don't want them to be able to move through walls, and especially not move...

I think +2 is fine. I have experience with this exact enchantment :D . A few months before 3E came out, my fighter character found a magical guantlet that allowed him to throw any melee weapon and teleport back into his hand immidiately, just as you described. Anyhow, I've had, and used, that...

"Kill her and take her finger!" Some years ago, a powergamer in our group was playing a paladin out of Unearthed Arcana (strict code, guarenteed 18's). An old lady had information we needed, but wanted like 5,000 gp for it. The paladin shouted that out, with the understood logic that you only...

I wouldn't include the BAB of a fighter-type as a good thing. I was just reading through Drow of the Underdark (free copy, in my defense!), and it said that humans with fighting ability or magical ability are considered dangerous. I think your formula of 100 gp (ability mod + skill mod) sounds...

I'm admittedly biased against drow, but I'll take another swing :D The price of a slave should be like the price of anything: supply and demand. There's surely lots of demand. Come to think of it, I bet humanoids would be more valuable than most animals in the underdark. They don't use horses...

I use a really simple critical fumble rule for two reasons: 1) I haven't found a good rule/chart to yoink. I hope some good ideas pop up here :D 2) I haven't had the inclination to make a more fun, yet balanced, one. When a creature rolls a nat' one, they have to make a Charisma check DC...

I agree that logically, that's a whole mess of cash. But if you compare it to a trained horse (trained for war, in this case), it's sorta cheap (heavy war horses are 400 gp). Humanoids should certainly count as trained, even though the above prices are for assumed unskilled laborers. A draft...

Work: 100 gp (Str mod + Con mod) Pleasure: 100 gp (Con mod + Cha mod) Yeah, yeah, I know Charisma isn't beauty, but it is linked to Perform... :cool: I figured the neighborhood price by assuming that a humanoid slave is more useful than a horse, and went from there. Short and sweet.

Well, assuming he's a fairly self sufficient farmer-type, he's not gonna need much, but he's not gonna have much to spare. 5 people, and 3 are kids? What vegetables they eat can easily be harvested from their garden/crop. 2 pigs and 3 cows is plenty for meat in a year, and another, we'll say, 2...

I like that! I, too, have wondered about how to assign XP for downtime. Assuming a human can't gain XP till they're 16 and gets 1 XP/day, that gives them... 19 y/o...level 2 24 y/o...level 3 32 y/o...level 4 43 y/o...level 5 57 y/o...level 6 73 y/o...level 7 And if they're on "hazard duty"...

In the early days of 3E, I (the DM) decided to try a stacking critical variant. Each successful crit would double the damage, or something like that. At the same time, I also decided to experiment with rolling everything out in the open. Bad combination :rolleyes: One player was having his...

Well, the bonus to AC based on class and level can be stolen straight from d20 Modern, Starwars d20, Wheel of Time, etc. Personally, I just slapped a Good, Medium, or Poor bonus (that progress like saves) on the classes. Fighters have a Good bonus, Rogues have a Medium, and Wizards have Poor...

I've noticed the same nonsense that you have, Aust. Here's what I use IMC to make shields more attractive. Note that while they do fall under feats 'everyone' would take (at least sword and board types), I don't think that they're overpowered since something along these lines should've been...

The one time I accidentally achieved a TPK (in a very similar manner to Wormwood's experience), I thought of who would notice and care that the PC's never returned. There were two NPC's a bit below the level of the party and who the players where familiar with, and I temporarily handed them to...

Hmm. Well, normal air and water can certainly be said to have slam attacks. A wave hitting you, or a sudden gust of wind. Maybe fire, if you think of a burst of hot air from opening a furnace, but that's a little shakey. As for being incorporeal and bound, that can certainly be said about normal...

I was fondly recalling a 2e game I DMed that included a big nasty fire elemental, and it got me wondering about them. With the exclusion of earth elementals, are elementals solid? I've always assumed they were basically animate elements, so you could just poke through one with a stick, and...

"Tasloi"... Gah! Where have I seen that name before? It's going to hurt my brain until someone kindly enlightens me :D As for goblin PC's? Well, I once statted out my thoughts on Kobold PC's... Kobold -4 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Wis Small: +1 AC, +1 hit, +4 Hide Darkvision 60’ Light Sensitivity: -2...

I started co-DMing for our original and long-time DM once 3E came out. We'd played 1st edition until then, and the DM liked 3E, but he had difficulties (read: stubborness) learning the new rules. He ran the adventures, and I statted out the bad guys, adjucated rules (saving TONS of time), and...
