I's suggest looking at the rules under GHOST in the Monster Manual for possession to streamline the mechanics here.

Seconded idea of trasporting near but not directly on top of target. DM can use the wish to make his life easier that way as well, and not have to deal with side-tracks and a long and possibly less interesting journey. I really do think the description of wish in 3.5 is very clear. Does the...

For me, the definition of evil is using others as tools instead of independent actors (or treating them as means instead of ends in themselves). I read too much Emmanuel Kant in school. Intelligent undead that consume other intelligent creatures are therefore evil. Creation of undead by...

Another vote for the mysterious-effects potion. I play this game occasionally, figuring if permanent magic items are occasionally cursed, why not potions and scrolls as well? Keeps players guessing, and lets me bend the rules a little. Like you want to do.

I have nothing to add but "Great ideas, looks like it will be a great game."

I'm trying to put together a very non-standard campaign based on Norse/Scandinavian mythology. I had the idea to have a class called "skin-changer," based around the ability to change shape into animals. How would you balance this? My initial ideas were to set size and type limits (as druid...

Open book. It is a game that we are all playing together. And I need to keep my players happy or they will mutiny.

I have played off and on for twenty years, with a half-dozen groups because of frequent moves. I have most often been the DM because I was either the oldest, knew the rules better, had more time to organize, or was the organizer of the group. I have never retroactively dropped the levels of...

I read this thread after researching whether to buy Ptolus. This hits on my biggest fear -- that I will get a huge 700 page campaign book home, and then not find it worth the year it will take to read it all.

I play as ElvishBard explained above, mostly because we are trying to simplify the rules as much as we can. Some people have more fun with more rules; not my group. Edit: ElvisBard --> ElvishBard. Although that was a funny typo.

We have a boy who's four and a girl who's almost two. I agree with most all of what has been posted so far. Already I have suffered many bruises fighting with wooden swords (kids don't know how to soften blows like adults do). I have spent a long stretches of time (in four-year-old...

The wiz/sorc with Imp Familiar gets the use of the familiars other special abilities (because now he has the familiar to boss around), but personally gains the characteristics called out separately. That's how I read it.

Poll topics When I wrote the poll I figures people who were evenly split or something special like that could mention it in a post (and I didn't think there would be too many exactly evenly split. I also thought some people might question how to count gaming on ENWorld, but I didn't know...

Pretty simple. Do you spend more time offline preparing for RPGs and playing them, or online here at ENWorld reading and writing about RPGs? I check in here every day, and in a given week easily spend more time lurking on ENWorld than I ever do actually preparing a campaign or playing in a game.

My brother says I am a "special ops" geek because I work in a military office and to all outward appearances look to be a WASPy suburbanite. But I can quote rules with the best of them, spend way too much time here, and am a card-carrying SCA member (and practice poking people with rapiers on a...

Seen a couple references recently to Faerie as a demiplane. Read the Faerie setting stuff on the Wizards site and in book "Manual of the Planes." Does anyone here play fey as from a Plane of Faerie, rather than just local nature spirits? Do you play Seelie/Unseelie Court? If so, do you use...
