As Thanee said, it's a decision the PC makes for himself - not a restriction placed upon him. The reason the rules for ownership exist (IMHO) is to prevent the VoP PC from getting benefits that the Vow replaces - and to provide guidelines for preventing abuse of the Vow. That said, it's the...

Well, in his defense, he did his part. :) He tried several times to charge the Blue dragon (with Fly) but the dragon's "Large and In Charge" feat pretty much shut the Fighter down. After several beat-downs and a few lightning breaths, he went and finished off the Green dragon while the Ranger...

I looked at that, and it looked to be an excellent product. The problem is that perhaps it was too focused. It has so much detail, that it makes it more difficult to include in an ongoing homebrew. Also, there's so much going on, it seems like it functions more as a module than a backdrop for a...

In the end, everyone agreed that FoM wouldn't cut it. Poor green dragon - it was his own fault. He learned to be sure the wizard dies when you snatch him up in your mouth. (Otto's is Verbal only... and I ruled that being inside the dragon's mouth qualified as "touch".) That poor dragon fell...

I love it! Let's start an anti-crunch revolution! I can't see why people snap up those books filled with endless PrCs and feats. Are they making that many characters? Do they need to make a new character every three months? How many feats can a guy have? It seems like there is such a...

So, lets say the party's mage cast Otto's Irresistable Dance on one dragon, and another dragon cast Freedom of Movement on the first dragon? Does the FoM negate the Dance? Can the dragon just move now, but can take no other actions? Or is Otto's Dance not a "movement restricting" spell...

I've run a game with VoP character, and I don't have any problems with them at all. The largest issue to get over was with the other players - they didn't want to give an equal share to the guy since he was just going to give it away. Eventually, their selfish greed was beaten into submission...

I've allowed the BoED in my game, with only a few exclusions. First, let me say that my campaign is very heavily focused in the "good vs. evil" spectrum, so this book fits in very well (as does the BoVD). I particularly like the chapter on specifically what "exalted" good means, and the...

Busting open a door is different that smashing the door completely. Busting the door is basically breaking the locking mechanism that is preventing the door from opening. The door itself is usually unharmed by this process - it just isn't re-lockable. There might be minor damage to the door...

I don't see the big deal people are making about Identify. It's only meant to cover the first 10 levels - after that Analyse Dweomer takes over. Honestly, how many magic items are you people giving out at low levels? Even at a CR 10 the treasure value is around 5,800 GP. The treasure tables give...

As a DM I wouldn't specifically target a familiar, unless the PCs presented it as a threat (delivering touch attacks or the like). However, the wizard of my party did lose his familar though. He lost it to a draw from a Deck of Many Things. Unfortunatly, he drew the "Rogue" card - which...

IMC the PCs are all the Chosen of an ancient god - and are working to revive him. Thus, each bears a divine mark - and allows easy identification of those the god trusts.

A little over a year ago I watched a friend open a game store. It was his dream, ever since we were in high school. I spent many nights there, and I had the misfortune to watch it all fall apart. My friend had his heart in the right place, and he worked very hard. Unfortunatly, heart and...

You'd be suprised at how close "work" and "enworld" appear to the casual observer... Anyway, I find it's much easier to just boot the whole book and save everyone $30 than to spend the cash and eliminate two-thirds of it. Perhaps unlike others, I'm not wallowing in cash. I must be...

For the purposes of a regular pit trap, he falls until he hits the bottom. I wouldn't worry about distance per round until your pit trap was several hundred feet deep...

I'm with Frank. You're a Necromancer - do what you do best. Die. You'll get a d12 HD then and lotsa nifty things. I recommend Encyclopedia Arcane: Necromancy (I believe that's what it's called). It's got some low power undead templates that you can use. All the fun of being dead, without...

This sounds like fun, so I'll contribute the setting from my world: The world is currently in it's 5th Age, and this is the second campaign that I've run in this world. During the first campaign (which took place during the 4th Age) the players stumbled upon a braclet (isn't that always how it...

That's why my interpretation of the Permanency fixes this. Actually, Permanency never makes it clear that both spells are in effect at the same time, or if only one spell is. You could interpret that once Permanency is cast, the other spell is replaced with a new spell - a Permanency...

Not to mention stats, skill points anf nearly anything else that constitues a character. That may be the effect it creates, but you'll not find a 10th level cleric who can cast Flamestrike and get 60 points of damage. In fact, I'd say it's rare to get over 45 points of damage. 15 or 20...

How sad am I - I'm responding to my own post... Anyway... With my proposed houserule to Permanency, that would make Permanency unavailable to Tenacious Magic - you can't dispel an Instantaneous spell (except to counterspell, and that's not actually "dispelling"). However, let's say you take...
