Con drain is nasty. Try getting attacked by a few Dread Wraiths + normal wraiths while you're the only one on watch. I did live past the surprise round, but not much longer - and this with a cleric that is geared to take down undead. It was fairly humorous though. The DM asked what I was...

Is this an automatic critical without the need to confirm? Or is it just a threat... which is normally the rules anyhow.

D&D 3.5 - lvls 13-17 ~D&D 3.5 (Grim 'n' Gritty rules and AU) - lvls 3-6 Moving to Warhammer v2... rocks!

Every class has been bumped up in my world. The Fighter receives (in addition to a bonus feat every level except 3rd, 9th and 15th) the following abilities: Brawling: At 2nd level, a fighter is able to make an unarmed attack (at full BAB) that does not provoke attacks of opportunity each...

For mounts: giant bats, large lizards, ostrich-like birds A random dangerous animal they caught in a pit trap and don't know what to do with it (as it's eaten a couple of them that were too curious). Always a good candidate for animal companion. Wounded and very po'd. They might be better...

Hero Builder's Guidebook Worst. Book. Ever.

PCs Smass Turbator Saur Assmasterson (one of many Assmastersons... default last name from the DM if you didn't have one) Zebediah "Zeb" Snackhole Luscious Bottoms Stabn Damuff Henchmen/Mounts Sir Beaksalot, Griffon Mount Robster Craw, a misshapen Clay Golem (our sculptor sucked) Donkey...

In no particular order... Seelours, male human Fighter 21st lvl, AD&D. A madman and tactical genius. He led many successful raids and ended up conquering and expanding a nation with his numerous loyal followers. He fortified the heck outta his territory by funding castles and watchtowers in...

In one campaign I play in, the DM let Wish and Tome bonuses stack (up to +5 from each). It made a noticeable difference between the characters generated with this in mind vs. the existing characters.

I play a Necro 5 / Archmage 5 / Incantatrix 13 in one campaign. We play with a mix of 3.0 and 3.5 rules. I have the following metamagic feats: Extend, Empower, Maximize, Widen, Quicken, Twin, Chain. I use Twin the least (like never), Empower/Maximize a lot, Extend a few times (buffs and...

I tried it with a Sorcerer and a Wizard. You're right about it being completely useless for a wizard. It was handy at times for the Sorcerer, but I was usually better off using the higher spell slot on a real spell of that level or a different metamagic feat. It is better than Twin Spell...

Wail of the Banshee with SF/GSF, SP2/3, and Mastery of Shaping is devastating. Learn it, use it, love it. Get to epic levels and use Widen Spell with it - yum. I've tried Heighten Spell and can't say I care for it much. Personally, I'd take Improved Initiative (going first is always nice...

Grease is good for making someone drop a held item. Or for minor battlefield control (esp. with a choke point), but the 1rd/lvl duration is a damper at low levels. Color Spray is crazy good, but limited by the area of effect and targetting issues with party members in the way - that's...

I used a few cursed items in the last campaign (levels 1 to 6) I ran... Loadstone - found on a corpse in a dungeon hallway. This one is really irritating - I believe it was a death sentence for the mage. 3 Helmets (torture devices) - on pedestals in a dungeon room. When put on they do 1d4...

Neighboring water molecules are attracted to one another. Molecules at the surface of liquid water have fewer neighbors and, as a result, have a greater attraction to the few water molecules that are nearby. This enhanced attraction is called surface tension. It makes the surface of the liquid...

Scare them with realism... track their encumbrance, including all new treasure hauled around food/water requirements (anyone that consumes the bare minimum would have to be crazy... you try to do it) if they fail saves vs. fear they should ..um.. void themselves where do they go to the...

Dreams are definitely a good way to go. You can really setup some bizarre scenarios. And there is always the dream/vision of their own death (much better if setup a long time before it happens). Graphic detail of most dungeon experiences is enough to frighten anyone. Rot grubs! Random d20...

I'm with Liolel on this one. Get it ID'd before you start squabbling about who gets it. That being said, it sounds like you guys have some other frustrations between your characters... maybe there should be a duel.

Destroy it immediately. Trust me...

That baby is going to be royally screwed up. I take it none of the party is of good alignment?
