    Rolling damage for area effect spells.

    How I visualized it... I always thought of a fireball as a roiling sphere of flame, so some spots were hotter than others, as well as allowing "safer zones" for those with Evasion to duck into. Same thing with lightning bolts, crackling and snapping through the blast zone, some targets...

    Rolling damage for area effect spells.

    Something came up that I hadn't thought about in 3rd Edition, since none of the spellcasters in the game I DM have used damage dealing area of effect spells (and I've tried to avoid them as well). For example, when a 6th level wizard throws a fireball that engulfs 3 ogres, do you roll one set...

    Free Will and Choices

    Been there, done that! *laugh* Players: "So, what's today's adventure?!" Me: "What do you guys want to do?" Players: [confused pause] "Today's adventure!" So, I have things happening in the background, stuff that will come to (evil) fruition if the PCs don't do anything, but whatever the...

    [OT] Lost a furry friend this morning...

    Well, I've seen other people do this and I hoped I'd never be in the position to do it myself, but here goes. Early this morning our cat, Burger, was hit on the road and killed. She was a stray that my little sister had befriended by feeding her pieces of her hamburger, hence the name. We...

    How stereotypical is Weapon Specialization at 4th?

    In my current campaign there are four fighters over 4th level and none of them took weapon specilization at 4th level; the one pure fighter took it at 6th and the others haven't expressed any interest in it. That +2 points of damage just doesn't seem impressive to my players, I suppose. Some...

    [Magic/Spells] I need a helping hand...

    Over a hundred views... ...but still no clues? I guess 3.5 Fever is gripping everyone, yet the spell is still the same in the revision. Anyone know why?

    [Magic/Spells] I need a helping hand...

    ...with the spell helping hand. Could someone please explain to me why this is a third level spell? It's not garanteed to find the right person, it doesn't identify who the sender is if it does find them (would you follow a randon ghostly hand that appeared to you?), and it can take hours to...

    What's the most rat bastard thing you've ever done as a DM?

    Is this more like it? A hamlet near the PCs' home town is terrorized by an undead menace. The heroes come to the locals' rescue and discover that one entire family appears to have been slain, but the bodies of their youngest son and daughter are missing. Some quick divinations reveal the...

    What's the most rat bastard thing you've ever done as a DM?

    Back in my old 2nd Edition campaign: The PCs were occasionally fighting against these cultists who worshipped a vile, undead god. After defeating one bunch, they found a wonderful ring of regeneration and decided to give it to the party cleric, a staunch warrior against the undead, with the...
