Interesting discussion gentlemen. Your story line has worked well so far. Not to pick on anyone, just a couple of monkey wrenches though, and some observations: 1.) Your development sequence of magic(k) is fictional historically off a bit when used in the "No deific/outside interference" view...

"Seriously, though, it's only a problem if the players or DM aren't having fun. If everyone is "exploiting the rules equally" then the DM's job is to try to match the character's abilies with the challenges s/he devises." - Eric Noah. If more people would heed these kind, dead man's words, our...

43.) Use them to run your own production of "6 Round Theater!" - I suggest something by Marlow. 44.) If a million summoned dire apes typed at a million conjured typewriters the complete worlds of Ed Greenwood would be produced! ... (nothin personal Ed) 45.) Summon 6 male Lillends - Instant boy...

30.) A mount to get away! "Flumph, fly me to freedom!" 31.) Someone to enter the ballroom with, and scare off all un-wanted suitors! "Oh, that Astral Deva, its around here somewhere.." 32.) Helping with city hazards. "Put out that fire, Water Elemental!" "Burn up that trash, Fire Elemental!"...

!!! Good stuff folks! I run a campaign world in which there are 2 very different and very distinctive cities/socieites run by the Undead. Both are unique in their presentation and how they function, but have similar advans and disadvans. My theory to base the soul/mind/body argument for...

Good input from alot of folks. In keeping with the "make it personal" theme mentioned, I do: 1.) Make sure some NPCs just hate the PCs. Some will have reasons and some just won't like the way they look. Interactions will vary based on NPC and PC power levels, etc. They will go out of their...

Awesome. My group has thought about using these options for a "secondary" party as well just to see how it would work out. Fighter types = giant types + mix of humanoids (Orcs, Centaurs, Azer, etc.) Elementals as well. Treant, Barghest, Grimlocks. Invisible Stalker, Xorn. Wizard = Beholder...

Ok, this has happened 4 times now: I'm at work, working on a reply or thread and doing work at the same time. Takes me about 20 minutes to work on the thread, when I go to submit it kicks me back to a logon screen. If I go <back then it does not have a screen with my post. GRRRR... I guess...

101.) Nothing happens. Truly nothing. Grass stops moving, the wind ceases, creatures seem to freeze in time. There is a deep, profound quiet, as in the passing of something great and terrible, or low and sad. A second becomes a millenia. And then there is a great crashing noise as the world...

Low -power Campaign = This +1 Spell Blade Longsword is keyed to *insert most used spell in campaign vs. fighters here* (SpellBlade from Magic of Faerun = when the spell is cast at the wielder of the weapon it will capture the spell and hold it, which the wielder can then release at a later...

with dragons able to choose: Shield, Mage Armor, Prot Good, Shield of Faith (Cleric accessing ones), and various other spells (depending on the books used) I would seriously hate to see some PCs try to kill one using Archery. Should they even penetrate all of this, as most arrows still don't do...

"Ok, so its just subdued right? Alright, I'm the Paladin, I crawl into the Chimera's Dragon mouth to provide full cover to the party in case it wakes up!" (1 in 10 chance each minute) ... it woke up... "Scrying? Bah, who cares if we're getting scry'd upon! We teleport to the Lich and attack!"...

If you get an item equal value to a +2 stat item may I suggest instead: Bag of holding, Hewards Handy Haversack (both good for holding stuff that you don't want to be weighed down by), Brooch of Shielding (you avoid most other spells, add Magic Missle to the list!), Boots of Striding and...

Usually when I play a Monk he/she is the type who will harass the enemy spell casters. I have high Touch AC, good saves, resist alot of effects, can manuever to keep up in combat, and don't need to hit high or hard to keep a caster sweating and occupied. Simply put: every round I Stunning fist...

Do what the GM says. Its their game, they may have reasons for rulings which are affected by other rulings or special game mechanics that they have worked on. After the session, then start a polite discussion; and don't expect to come away with an agreement. Perhaps an understanding, perhaps...

Rule that we use in my home campaign, and has been adopted by my 4 other spin-off groups = Aging. This harkens back to 1st Ed. Cast Raise Dead = Caster ages 1 year, recipient ages 1 yr. Cast Ress = Caster ages 5 years, recipient ages 1 yr. Cast True Ress = Caster ages 10 years, recipient ages...

Hrmm... I've used various dragons so far vs. my players and don't remember running into problems snatching medium creatures up. I know there is a size limit if it wants to do certain other things... (doesn't have books at work..*grumble*) Dragons should have no problem with it either way...

bah! any dragon who doesn't know that 1 of his 4 million scales are missing and dies from being shot by a slaying arrow = wuss. :p Ok, i'll admit that the whole "crushing a whole town in your death throes thing" is neat; but he's still the lowest on the totem poll of all dragon-kind in ME and...

Nightchilde-2: have you settled on an age for the Dragon yet? If its not too late may I humbly suggest the following? 1.) Drop Imp Invis. Older dragons will know that this is useless versus vetern dragon hunters. Try Obscuring Mist or Cloudkills instead. The Dragon has Blindsight, the...

Bravest moment from one of my players: Group is fighting a powerful Ogre Sorceress in the streets of the city. While hasted the Sorceress throws a Delayed Blast Fireball into the streets and through the doorway of an orphanage. The children inside (and care-giver) run around in the building...
