Okay, okay...I had a merchant send a chimpanzee on an errand last night and never expected anything to come of it. One of the players sought fruit in the open market, and of all things she picked bananas. Keeping with the stereotype (though chimps rarely subsist on bananas), the chimp followed...

I have a rogue who will rely heavily on fencing and feinting techniques in melee. I know you can use Bluff to feint, and if successful the foe is denied his Dex to AC on the next attack I make against him. What I can't find is any DC or information on how the check actually succeeds. Can...

First off, I'm not sure if this is the best place for this thread. But since there's probably going to be some heavy abuse of the rules here, I thought this the most appropriate forum... Okay, so here it is. I'm asking for any and all characters you wonderful people can create with the...

Okay...I guess I really should clarify. My apologies. I'm thinking of introducing the topic by way of an NPC asking the party to find out what happened to his companion. He's gone off investigating something that's been going on, and hasn't been in touch. This is very unlike him and has...

I'm considering adding an additional element in my FR capaign: same-sex relationships. I'm interested b/c I think the game world is becoming cliche, and this is one way to spice things up and add a little diversity. This is a subject that (to my knowledge) has not been extensively covered...

Ow! Sonofa...:D Nope, don't think I know you. Maybe that should change, however... ~Box

I'm sorry...off topic, and I'm not trying to hijack the thread...but State College? Do I know you? Have I played with you before? What's the game you're running? Otherwise, just slap me if I'm out of line. :) ~Box

Welcome! As I'm relatively new myself, I don't know how much help I'll be. But I'll try... This is one of the closest-knit online communities I've ever seen. As such, folks 'round here don't take kindly to flames, abuse or malicious doings. Best advice I can give: be decent and enjoy the...

narf! ~Box

I've used separate parts of my megamat for each situation. One part tracks movement on the X/Y axes, and we'll use a separate section of the mat to track movement on the Z axis. Minis for the X/Y part, then we just pick a die or a glass bead to represent our character to keep track of the Z...

Okay Ashy... They were hired to obtain the object by an evil wizard, but once they found out about its true nature, they didn't want to hand it over to him. One character died, and the paladin came in, under express orders to find it and bring it back to the church. They've got it, and there...

What would you like? :)

I'm looking to provide a name for my players' adventuring group. Right now, they're only 5th level characters. However, they're carrying a highly evil artifact and are taking it to a very "good" place to have it dealth with. Eventually, they will be dealing a LOT with denizens of the darker...

Good words so far...thanks. But I'm beginning to think that my in-game frustration is simply displaced frustration with personality conflict. In all honesty, I probably wouldn't even complain if the DM wasn't so damned COCKY about it. If the critters have saves that high, for example, if he'd...

Heh...I hijacked my own thread! Anyway, back to the original topic: I'm not sure if you'd consider a golem a "construct", but he flat-out told us that these things are constructs. And it's not just these "elemental construct" critters, either. Nearly everything we've encountered (since I...

Ahh...but here's the problem. Another player in the group runs a different campaign that I'm part of. My "playing partner" right now is the DM I'm complaining about. So I'd look really bad making a huge fuss about his DMing style, then having to go play with him the next day. Plus, I'm...

This game has been running for about a year now. The body count in this campaign has been unbelievable. We almost lost our half-orc fighter tonight, and it would have been his fourth character in this game. The other two players are on their third characters of the campaign. Two players left...

DM doesn't play automatic crits/failures. We played earlier today, actually, and one of the critters rolled a 20 on me. I've taken to buffing myself, as MD suggested (Bull's Strength, Shield of Faith, etc.) and the 20 + attack bonus wasn't enough to clear my AC. He called it a miss. So I...

Thanks, MD. That clarified things a little bit. Just b/c I'm bored, I'll give some more info on the "me vs. them" mentality... Like I said, we've encountered the air, fire and water versions thus far. I've been peeved on several occasions. First, we get no AoO when these things cast spells...

I need some opinions. I'm playing a level 7 cleric of Moradin, and my domains are Earth and Good. According to the PHB, the Earth domain allows me to "turn/destroy air creatures as a good cleric turns undead" and to "rebuke/command earth creatures as an evil cleric rebukes undead". I should...
