I shouldn't have included that example, I did do a lot of these things (assassins attacking thier homebase, folks prepping for them, etc) to combat that particular tactic. My main point was do you think there should be limits on buffs in dnd? At what point do they become ridiculous? Do they...

Deaders, Muties, Rifters

Any panels with Belkar are good panels. Belkar rocks! He drove his angel bonkers! Love it!

Well, the problem with dispel magic against buffs is that its a big waste of time. If my npcs are always going to use dispel magic in a fight, then why not just save time and get rid of the buffs to begin with? When you start dispelling them, it really becomes a nightmare. You and the...

With apologies to Ashockney At what point does buffing become ridiculous? What would be the effect of limiting it? Does the higher level game assume that all pcs will be this buffed? When I ran RttToEE, I got sick of this particular tactic by the pcs: Wake up at 10am, buff to the gills...

On a personal forum with my players, one of them posted this I like this idea...too many times Ive seen potions/scrolls wasted in a fight, or even worse, a player slaughtered when trying to use one. But how to balance it? The only thing i can think of is timers, like in World of Warcraft...

Great replies, lots of ideas in here I could use. I like the lowering the value idea should they try to sell it. (The griffon example has become moot because the Drow Bard in the party believes that all Drow adventurers must have a Figurine of Wonderous Power...not sure where he got that...

Removing the economy or lowering the sale value of the items is probably the best method for achieving what I want from items. The point is that I want to be able to give them different items, sometimes useful, sometimes just quirky, outside of the normal gear that PCs expect. They get...

I think its pretty common actually. Nothing wrong with it, just would like change it up a bit.

Exactly...the pcs keep track of the values.

This is what I tried to do with the griffon, to give them an item with specific uses and instead of them evaluating the item on its use, they evaluated on its GP value and proceeded to discuss selling it. Its my observation that items that don't specifically boost a pc's power are going to be...

This may be more appropriate for the House Rules, but considering the discussions regarding magic items, I thought I would post here. I've noticed something about players and the Suggested PC Wealth Guidelines (which i personally call the MSRP). Whenever a GM offers an item through loot, the...

So who's going to put together the random generator tool using the tables in the back of the book? I can't be bothered to roll dice, need to push a button!

These are great! I love the Colussus and Ritual Circle. One of the ideas I had for the Colussus is that its controlled by someone being in the head. The players and bad guys fight from the feet up, trying to gain control first. (either through hollow spaces in the body or by climbing the...

Its the witty banter that keeps me coming back for more! :D

Should do a 101 Item Curses thread :)

Prefer the Mageblade, but the Duskblade ain't bad.

Give em all Aberrant Dragonmarks. This gives them a mechanical benefit as well as a curse. A Silver Flame Exorcist and an Alienist in the same party...must make for some good interparty discussion :)

Read a George RR Martin novel, from Song of Ice and Fire. Man that guy loves to detail food.

*While eating a meal, the pc bites down on something valuable (i.e. Pearl in the Oyster) *While walking through town, the pcs see kids pretending to be the PCs. The kids are wearing mockups of thier clothing and weapons, arguing about how the pcs act, while fighting some pretend monsters...
