My solution I haven't read the whole thread, but I thought I'd add my solution, in case anyone else found it useful: Will Save. If the target makes its save, it is reduced to half its current hit points. It means that Harm, when the target saves, is sort of like the Mass Distrotion spell from...

WOW! ... and that's all I have to say.

Calm under fire I remember reading something by a guy who had actually been in a number of gunfights with untrained opponents. I *think* it was an account of an undercover cop planted in the mob. His biggest break came when he was with the people he was trying to infiltrate and they were...

Not a cliche Ah, but that is one of the few realistic Hollywood conventions! :p

My House Rule In my campaign, I've ruled that the strength check DC to break out is modified by the thickness of vegetation in the area. These modifiers can vary from place to place within the same entangel spell's area of effect. This is, to some extent, endorsed by the note at the end of the...

Or this one?

I WANT this as an avatar! That's just fantastic! I take it its not available as an avatar for us plebs?

Rule #1 Violation! A clear violation of Rule #1 - never give the DM nasty ideas.:D

Not Medieval, Dark Ages If you think about it, the way all those nobles got their land and titles is that their great, great, great, ... great granddaddies were very successful military men who 9back in the badly misnamed "dark ages") took by force and controlled a piece of land or were...

"He isn't surrounded, H.G., he's in an XP-rich environment." "He isn't surrounded, H.G., he's in an XP-rich environment." Very funny, but actually not original. I believe the quote comes from a documentary about the Falklands War. In that war the British expeditionary force had only two dozen...

This is FABTASTIC! I hazard to say that even for those poor unfortunate citizens of lesser nations than "God's Own Sunburnt Country", who aren't familiar with the comic genius that is Roy and HG, will find this VERY funny!

Joke! P'kitty, I was *joking* about the troll! I do, however, think that your Defenders of Daybreak campaign is an example of how a realtively magic soaked high level campaign can work just fine. Admittedly, the combats sometimes read like something out of a super hero comic but, when you...

Huh? Piratecat, *you* are asking *us* for DM advice? Or do I smell troll? BTW: i love Agar, he's very cool.

Tolkein trivia "Narsil" means "sun-moon" or "flaming moon". There are some suggestions that the sword normally glowed with a pale moonlike light but was also capable of bursting into sunlike flaming brilliance in battle. It's "light was extinguished" when it broke under Elendil when he fell in...

Clarifications (1) Actually, much of the stuff that I mentioned as being heaped on Sam is detailed in the last two chapters ratehr than the appendix. (2) In any case the big hint of what is to come is in the final chapter when Frodo points out to Sam that he is as famous and respected as Merry...

I beg to differ Except that Sam isn't an "ordinary hobbit", especially when he returns to the Shire. Lets see: - He is the principal director of post-war reconstruction throughout the Shire. - He is Frodo's heir which means that after Frodo's departure he basically becomes a landed...

Bush and lying [deleted by author due to political content] I was thinking fo something to do with Enron. Forget it. this isn't the place.

Borimir *was* a Dundedain The Ruling Stewards of Gondor were descended from Mardil (sp?) the good steward. They were a family of noble Dunedain who had escaped with Elendil, Isuldur and Anorien from the wreck of Neumenor. However they were not related to the line of Elendil. (There is some...

Black Numenorians? The Dundain never lie. Even under the influence of the Ring, Borimir would only go so far as telling a half-truth. Black Numenorians on the other hand...

Shouldn't he be invisible? There's a lot of debate as to when and how the Ring turns people invisible. It certainly didn't turn Tom Bombadil invisible when he wore it. And there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that it didn't turn Sauron invisible while he was wearing it. However, it...
