Can't think of any names but I have a few nonconventianal suggestions (not directly related to combat) a artifact that kills all non sentient plants in some large radius. It would wreak havoc on farmlands and forests, and cause massive starvation. an artifact that could stop all the...

I could be called a mini maxer when compared to the rest of my group when I'm a player, but the rest of my group doesn't focus on optimal characters really at all. I make an effective characters (they aren't the nightmare characters other people post about) to help the group stand up in combat...

Spoiler for anyone playing in the cithen islands (not that I think any of my players browse these boards_ My next adventure is going to start in a inn in a city. But not in the typical way. The party is sleeping, when they are awakened by a trap going off in the course of a robbery of a nearby...

Death in my game: Well my views are that Death can happen. But its not going to be to a bodak that you would have no clue of its death gaze ability without metagaming. Its not going to be to a weak minion that got lucky. Death is going to have a meaning, and unless the character does something...

Not buying it not going to. I don't run the forgotten realms, and there are so many other sources to mine ideas from that are campaign neutral.

presdigitation: never have to have a bad meal again. Fox Cunning, Owls Wisdom, Eagles Spelendor: Just the right things for those times when you need you mind to be more efficent. A good deal of diviniations: Think about it, predict the winning lottery number and get rich, know who commited...

In both the game I run, and the game I play in diplomancy skills are handled the same way. The player states the angle and intent that the skill is tried to be used in, and then the dm applys an modifier for how effective the approch would be. So whole conversations are not always played out...

How I would write an adventure depends on the adventure. Different types of adventures require different approaches. For a dungeon crawl, I'd detail the nearest base of operations, the path from the Base to the Dungeon, and the Dungeon itself. For exploration adventures, I'd make a bunch of...

I'd suggest you either move all instant kill spells up a level or drop them entirely for causing an oponent to drop dead from a single spell is greatly powerful in a limited magic campaign. Also I'd recommend you drop 9th level spellls entirely except for ones that have raised in level. For...

I voted no. I play D&D to escape from reality at least thats one of the reasons. I can see myself enjoying certain low magic campaigns (those that aim to make magic unique, not take it away almost all together) but I just can't see myself liking the grim and gritty style of play. This is all...

Lets see in the campaign I'm running it has taken 5 sessions from the party to go from level 4 to 5. Of course if there was one more encounter in the first 4 sessions it would have taken 4. After the 4th session the party was 101 experince points away from 5th level. And they had 4 encounters in...

A treasure that would be nice for the druid, although more on the roleplaying side, would be an item that casts speak with animals x/times per day. It frees the druid from having to use a spell slot on a spell that may not get used and it has all kinds of roleplaying and gameplay uses. I don't...

I fought my first ooze the last session I played. It was an easy battle, the ooze was a grey one and the party was seventh level. Didn't even last a whole round. The toughest part of the battle really was figuring out if my sword would be hurt if I attacked it. Strangely next session I got to...

Am I stuck in a group I don't enjoy. The answer to that is no. I take turns with another dm, and that other dm is the one who started me on D&D so that dm has had a great influence on what I enjoy. But I have a different problem. The group is slowly dwindling. There is only 4 people dm included...

Yes my lastest character was a paladin, because the whole knight in shining armor, out righting wrongs and fighting evil archetype just apeals to the goodness inside me.

Balance is important but only to the level required for everyone to have fun. Thats my answer, and can probally be said of a lot of other groups as well.

Well I've only played one full magic user a druid, but I've played a ranger and a paladin as well which have some magic and according to the poll are magic users so put me in the magic user catagory.

Wow your group did much worse then my group (3 level 4 characters at the begining) did for this level. My group found the chimney used a rope to climb down, and the orcs started coming but the party was well ready in the kitchen with only 1 entrance. Eventually the orcs figured out that a...

Yes I've seen dm's make good players. Sometimes too good players, who always seem to have a way to solve a problem without being in danger. But creativity is not a bad trait in a player.

Phrase that would incite I riot. I think that "The goverment has issued a 200% tax increase. They plan to take all that you own." along with a good bluff check, and prehaps a good forgery check to make offical looking documents.
