Using a scale of 1-10, on the "resourceful" I'll give them a 7. On the "daring" I'll give them a 5. I think they are going to go with a combo of Option 1 and Option 3. They have started asking if they can commission things that will make them look like Hobgoblins. I figure I can whip up some...

Okay, here's the plot I have so far. If you have any suggestions on 1). how to elaborate, 2). possible PC solutions, and 3). where to go from here, I would love your feedback. PC's are fighting a cult of evil druids that have started to learn how to fuse creatures together for a length of...

The Kesh-tan of Casciorna Again, thanks for all the great replies! What I've come up with is definately in the Native American vein. Because the setting is based on Northern California, I did some research into the Coastonoan/Ohlone tribe, which is the nation that occupied this land before...

Thanks Thanks for the quick replies. I like your cover rule Caliban, I think I'll be making that a house rule myself.:) --RavenSinger

How do you folks deal with PC's who want to occupy the same 5' square at the same time for purposes of attacking? At the moment I have it in my campaign that you can pass through a square occupied by a friendly character, but you cannot stay there and attack. The exception being if you were...

Oh yes, as for your other question/comment, in my campaign the central valley is essentially temparate desert. And swarming with orcs--but the PC's don't know that yet. <heh!>

I use the climate as well. Essentially, I use everything that is naturally there, and then have redone all the man-made bits. Though, I have retained some of the key cities locations. For example, the capital is where San Francisco would be. There are also smaller cities where Oakland, and...

Thank you Joseph and Crothian, It looks like the solution is to combine your suggestions of reducing the spells per day by one and then adding the domain spell, and throwing out the opposing domains idea. I definately appreciate your input. It's hard when you are a first time DM, and you are...

I posted this info in Sammael99's thread "Restricted Spell Lists for Clerics." And realized if I wanted any feedback, I should get my own blessed thread!:D This is what I have come up with. I was/am concerned this might power up the class too much, so I put in the restrictions. If you have...

Well, I sent the link to Emiricol, but why should we have all the fun!:D The link to the map I found is: http://www.hknot.com/gallery/ba.html This is a topographic relief map of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. I simply put the image into a graphics editor to enlarge it somewhat, and...

So later, when Slovenus kicks the bucket. The party is asked to attend the reading of the will. Slovenus has left them something either: A). Very powerful and desired by others. Ensuing encounters of various baddies. . . B). Very powerful, and insidious in it's affect on the group (i.e...

What I do for Druids (somewhat OT) I definately understand where your concerns are coming from Sammael. I am not sure I would want to implement a spontaneous casting system for clerics. Too many headaches coming up with spell lists. Though the Kaptain's Shugenja idea sounds like a good one...

Reading these horror stories makes me think I must have really lucked out with the group that I have. Granted, they aren't perfect. I wish our rogue gnome would be a little less munchkin-ish, but she is also a great roleplayer--go figure. (Either that, or she knows what kinds of characters...

My campaign uses the geography of Northern and Central California. So I have spent many an hour online trying to find a good topographic relief map of the area that doesn't have cities and roads and things. Thankfully I found something passible, and now I just have to get my hands on a copy of...

Thanks This group of elves is not Gurgach per se, but that is the closest thing I can come up with. They are sort of half way between wood elf and gurgach. (i.e. like a wood elf that is slightly less civilized, and does not live in the woods). The village units are not nomadic necessarily...

Okay, I understand wood elves and high elves pretty well. And there are many examples written and drawn up in various literatures for these elven varients. But wild elves? Maybe I just haven't read enough. The reason I ask is I am needing to come up with a village of "Hill Elves". The...

Woo-Hoo!!! Champions! Loved as a teen in the '80s and love it still. Major kudos to the Crimester for some great Story Hour writing, and to his players as well. Add me to the growing list of fans! --RavenSinger <as he waits with eager grin for the story of Poltergeist's heroics>:D

I've got a ranger in my campaign that uses a scimitar and hand axe combo. Not sure why specifically, however I *do* remember him saying he liked the larger crit threat of the scimitar. I also think he likes the image just like DungeonKeeper. I say more power to him. --RavenSinger

I just started running a campaign for the first time as well. And I can say for sure that Nelli's advice is quite good. The main thing is to spend time making things that you will use. Don't try to create the whole world at once. Start with where the PC's meet. I started my PC's in a rural...

Thanks to all I want to thank everyone for your great observations and suggestions. Sorry I haven't been more active on the thread--real life. . .ugh! Anyway, I really like the ideas of navigation or a compass, and I *love* the idea of having the character be the son of some sort of bad guy...
