My current characters position is up front fighting it out sword and shield. This has not jeopardized my character life yet although the character is fairly new.

The purpose of the game is to have fun. Now if you ask the purpose of a specific campaign the answers would vary more. Also the ways a group have fun vary from group to group, and player to player. But fun is the ultimate goal, unless you have a very strange group.

I don't believe that there's an ultimate weapon. There's two many variable factors. For example the greatsword, is terrible if your grappled or in small passages. I have a homebrewed class for my campaign the swashbuckler that receives a lot of bonus with weapons that weapon finesse can be used...

A narrow mountain pass. There are trolls on top of the pass that drops boulders, and trolls come out at either end to block the party in. Of course this may involve to many trolls for what you are thinking of.

As a player you could describe me as a minor true neutral rules lawyer. I'm pointing out changes in 3.5, and other rules errors fairly frequently. But I point them out no matter who it benefits and sometimes I regret pointing things out later.

Just to throw my two copper peices in. I don't have a prefence either way. In fact I really don't care, its the content the affects my desicision to buy a book, not the artwork. The only thing the cover can do is get me to take a look at the book, but for that the picture style is better.

My paladins mount follows the standerd rules, which means that the extra hitdice and stuff was applied on to the average statistics for the mount, which was a pegasi. This might have been a rules violation, but the hitdice increase gave the mount a feat and I got to choose which feat.

Its come up several times. Once our party captured a gnoll and we had to use a tongues spell to comunicate. Another time my druid pc relized the troll we met was a druid when the troll greeted me in drudic. Also knowing a langague that only 1 other pc knows is fun for making little jokes...

Average party level is what my group uses, but It has only come up when someone gets tired of their character for various reasons. The only time a character has died in our campaign the character was raised with a raise dead spell.

Depends. How much did the sorcerer contribute to the fight. If he came in quarter way then maybe I might give him a full share of the experience, if he came in half way then I might give him a half share. If he came in near the end then no experience, or maybe a quarter share if he came in at...

Its winter, there's a snowstorm going on outside, and the innkeeper says that it is 5 silver pieces for a room. So what does our monk do who had plenty of gold. Does he buy a room? No he says something like "I'll go sleep out in the snowstorm." Needless to say he almost freezes to death, the...

Those two lines are just pure gold. Made me laugh out loud.

Basicly I wound just skip over the details. Just say that the monstery makes enougth food to support themselves and how ever much extra you want them to make. In my experince reasonable players won't go into to much detail asking about such a small fact as this. But you will know your players...

This was back in second edition but yes it was roughly equivilant to a full blown ice-storm. It was basicly a blast that could be used to fight monsters, used on a npc at negitive hitpoints. I don't remember how the dm ruled it (the dm was pretty bad to) but using the wands by standerd rules...

A Book that makes my life easier. Simple its the Seafarers handbook, as my campaign is set in an archepiligo and its a lot easier to take prewritten rules for ship to ship combat then to make it up yourself.

This thread reminded me of an old gem from a terriable campaign. I don't remember the campaign that well but this stuck with me. The party was trying to save a dying npc. He was bleeding from several wounds, and one of the players has the idea to stanch the bleeding by numbing it with a...

Just a nasty creation I made for fun free for anyone to use. The challange rating my need double checking before use. The stone devil has a very powerful melee ability and a ton of hitpoints for its CR, but weak Armor class and a lack of special attacks. Stone Devil (Advanced...

The awakened toad barbarian I mean it may be filled of rage but what is it going to do try and bite you with its no existent teeth, swat at you with its tongue.

I don't have any problems with any of the core class's. What I have problems with is certain annoying ways these classes are played. You know the detect evil then kill paladin, the kleptomaniac rouge, the drow ranger with two scimitars With these characters you need to talk to the player about...

Instant deaths is a tricky topic. When I first became a dm I've went through the blind adherence to the rules and module phase, and the puppy dog dm phase. I'm still developing as a dm but I have some opinions on instant death spells. First it is no fun when out of the blue some strange monster...
