    OMG Nightmare player Help advice pls

    A yoga class perhaps? Carefully booked on the night you play on only? What you need to do is to get rid of her, because it seems she doesn't grasp the idea of her not playing, yet you guys carrying on. If that's the case, just make sure it doesn't matter. Pool/dancing or pottery class won't...

    Why *Dont* you like Forgotten Realms?

    Oh man, I get this feelings that if some folks were to read Red Dragon, they would feel compelled to burn the book quite fast. And poor old Harris shortly thereafter, possibly interrupting him cooking. Besides - porn, anyone? In a book you at least only read about faint idea of intercourse as...

    Can you use Gentle Repose on an Undead?

    Tremor, I think that what your friend describes would fit rather to age ability score changes. Attribute points gained every 4 lvls come from experience gained, not physical change. In a way, you retain same strength/dexterity/whatever, but you learn to use it better, which is solved...

    What's going on inside flasks and vials?

    Elementary, my dear Watson. Different products call for different measurements. And there are different kinds of "pound". Apparently, the mass for utensils such as ropes, 10' poles but also flasks and vials is measured in pound which equals to more mass than the type of pound for liquids/edible...

    Why *Dont* you like Forgotten Realms?

    (from "So far we've got" part I gathered the 1st question should look as I edited, not just a y/n). 1. I find it very inconvenient to use a setting with so much (IMO) unnecessary splat. Describe the world, and in next products focus on certain areas or aspects. As a person that want's 1-2...

    Are you D&D edition agnostic when looking for pre-published adventures?

    The only two pre-published adventures I have are for Pathfinder, and while I like the system... One I played in two systems so far (MERP and Witcher), the other is waiting for it's turn. What system the adventure is for would matter only if I was given a booklet and told I have to DM in 2 hours...

    Help my wizard go mad!

    I'm really with reciprocalzero on this one. LN, the perfect judge, can easily do things perceived as evil by most. Let him dip into eugenics a bit, use spells like charm to make baddies stop any and all aggression (effectively making them defenceless and passive), let him create all kinds of...

    Help with my Human Red Dragon Sorcerer

    Fly-by attack is a must for dragons that want to go into short to mid range fights. Hit and run, and if they clump up... even better - as you can use your area spells.

    Dark Sun music?

    You might find this thread useful: Music suggestions for Dark Sun, some good suggestions there, easily accessible as well.

    Am I mean?

    Seriously what's "tough" about a situation one has no influence on? The point some were trying to make, is that it's not tough, but rather that many people find it discouraging to discover that they have no real influence on what happens in game; that they just listen to GM and roll dice from...

    You All Meet In A Bar

    Um... wouldn't call it "one off" since there's a significant amount bars of differing class with similar model in my town, typically called Houses. Each one took a niche and is well off with it. Surprisingly enough, the only one that disappeared in recent years was the Literates House, one that...

    You All Meet In A Bar

    I love the one that is in my city, and I've described the place in other thread (quotation enclosed). In short - yeah, it's not a place everyone loves, it's a niche within niche. It's still more than enough to have it crowded all the time when it's in a bigger city. It's been there for ages, so...

    Am I mean?

    In that case - having them beaten could sabotage the plotline. How would you justify the captain breaking a deal with them if they would cripple or kill one of the guards (one stray crit hit)? You might even let them win a combat and be arrested: ie have them attacked by some aggressive drunks...

    Am I mean?

    To summ it up - it can go both ways, but the best you can hope for is "OK" while risking ruined fun for at least some players. I agree, that if you want to railroad them into prison as first thing - at least do it with a straight face and have them starting there, working their way out. This...

    Help my wizard go mad!

    Sanity and insanity are largely based on point of view. Brucy should be called a Hero not a madman for fending off those zombies- it's hardly his fault others couldn't see the decaying flesh, now is it? Give us something to work with - wizards background, maybe recent goals, so we can tinker...

    I could use ideas for a high magic zoo

    Cryptozoology Area: a flumph that is described as a medusa subtype that lives in acid a giant stingray described as "lurker above" a Twisc (The Wolf-in-Sheep's-Clothing is not mentioned, as if anagram was creatures name) made of mimic spellbound in one form with now dead rabbit attached to it...

    When Is PC Death Worst?

    I went with "other": when I've invested a lot in given character and am not satisfied with what came out of it. But this is worse when I'm GM. As a player, if I took my time to create an interesting character with a theme I want to run and he just dies very fast - I hate it for two reasons: I...

    Help me survive a twink's campaign

    Druid 6, actually. A wizard might be powerful, but DM can catch him with his pants down whenever he pleases. Druidzilla on the other hand? He doesn't even wear pants. High wisdom and constitution, natural spell feat at level 6, wildshape into bear, and with your bear companion cleanse the world...

    Can you use Gentle Repose on an Undead?

    The rest of them carries a bazillion nightsticks on them anyway ;-) BTW - I was sort of surprised to see that Lichen do not have SR. Huh.

    Can you use Gentle Repose on an Undead?

    disclaimer - my explanation deals more with "right, but how?" part of this, and can(should) be ignored if for someone "Magic!"+page number is enough ;-) It does need corpse, but I guess it depends on how you see the walking dead. IMO a lich body is by all means dead even if it's still animated...
