    True Seeing Conundrum

    The nail has been truly put in the coffin of this one, but if you ever need to foil True Seeing or See Invisible, use the Invisible Spell feat from the City book that WotC put out recently - +0LA, makes the spell cast invisible, then cast an Invisible Obscuring Fog...

    That's one way to build a world...

    Nope, the Pangaea map has only one continent - the Terra map actually has two, but one is completely empty of players, and is only inhabited by the barbarians.

    That's one way to build a world...

    I've been thinking about running a game for some time now, just never got around to it. One of the problems is, I like to have some kind of framework behind the gameworld, instead of leaving everything completely undeveloped. I'm not talking that I need to know who each of the ten thousand...

    Need help phrasing a wish.

    The problem is, we don't have time for a "normal" night's sleep due to the deadline - heck, even giving one or two characters a "full" night's sleep would be plenty. Our party Wizard, who is using the spell point rules from Unearthed Arcana, nova'ed (and I really need to smack him, he keeps...

    Need help phrasing a wish.

    We might be able to avoid using it for this (there are other things I'd like to wish for) but in case it ends up coming down to this... My party is on a deadline, and we're out of resources with the nasty half of the dungeon in front of us as near as we can tell. I've got a "use once and...

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    The maker, I believe, is currently in "crunch" mode over a little game named "Bioshock". I could be wrong, but that's what I understand...

    A full nights sleep in THREE hours!

    Sounds a lot to me like the old "Russian sleep machine" idea.

    How to challenge PC with arcane eye & arcane sight

    From the D20SRD: "Spells cast on other creatures, objects, or locations (not on you) are vulnerable to dispel magic as normal."

    Common High-Level Tactics

    Ghost touch only works if you're incorporeal, not ethereal. It DOES work to hit ethereal targets, though... (Yes, I already hammered this one into the ground. I was looking for a way to get around the 20% miss chance my rogue has with his ring of blinking.)

    A Far Out Rant

    I borrowed the #camper# from it, but that was about it. The Orz were actually remarkably coherent if you thought about what they were saying. To me, the far realms represent critters that are as incapable of understanding us as we are of them. For example, the idea of collecting on a contract...

    need swing dancer help

    Wow. I recently started learning Lindy Hop and Charleston, and I gotta say I love your idea. Others have already covered it better than I could, but I want to hear how this goes down.

    Should cool be a mechanic?

    Back in my anime days, I had an idea for a "counter" mechanic. There were three types of actions, comedic, cool, and realistic. Realistic actions countered comedic actions (it's hard to joke about a sucking chest wound), cool countered realism (yeah, I've been shot sixteen times, but I'm too...

    Cohort equipment?

    How do you equip a cohort when a player takes the leadership feat? The rules seem to be unclear... 1. By player wealth guidelines? 2. By NPC wealth guidelines? 3. With a loincloth, and let the player equip them out of pocket? Is there an "official" ruling on this?

    Aligned Magic Weapon

    I think Libris Mortis included a +1 enchantment that gave +1d6 against undead, +2d6 against evil outsiders, and aligned the weapon as "good".

    Grapple and Blink - how does the miss chance work in?

    This came up the other week. My character was blinking, and somebody tried to grapple me, got past the initial miss chance, and succeeded in the grapple itself - and that's where things got wacky. Seeing as how this might happen again, I thought I'd ask for clarification. I assumed that on my...

    What to Run

    Yep, but it's a VERY easy port to 3.5. There are basically three issues (hidden behind a spoiler block): 1. A Girallon encounter, where due to the sizing change, it's a good idea to widen a couple corridors so they can all get into the action instead of bottlenecking. 2. A trap that is...

    Can you apply the same metamagic feat twice?

    I'm curious, why was this rule implemented? I can't see any breakage that would come out of being able to dump multiple empowers/enlarges/whatevers on a spell, especially since the save DC remains the same.

    Pumping UMD?

    Oh, no, he has no idea what I'm up to... And he won't until I whip it out on him, but he's more like Piratecat in that aspect - he enjoys seeing what we pull out of our hats. Based on cost issues, I'm thinking about heading the "Imbue with Spell Ability" route, along with the circlet. This...
