    D&D 3.x What do you ban? (3.5)

    Because the only way to properly screw with somebody is with proper lubrication. :-S Did that sound wrong?

    D&D 3.x What do you ban? (3.5)

    Why ban Dance of Ruin though? Polymorph a high level rogue or assassin into a Hydra. *yawn* :yawn: Sounds interesting. YMMV of course. Oh and I would advise your parties pack a cleric (not in their pocket). Does your divine spell limitation extend to staves as well? I presume it doesnt...

    Unstoppable Undead

    Thats not cheese. IIRC Demogorgan's Deathknights are immune to turning. There's also a breed of undead created from demons immune to turning in a suppliment writ by Erik Mona under Green Ronin Publishing. (Book of Fiends). As for killing them as others have suggested, just try anything...

    Epic Counterspells

    Could you craft an Epic spell with a DC less than 69 that could allow you to do that, with enough mitigating factors? I'm just wondering.

    Negative Levels & Equipment

    I'm just curious here-I know that there are many items that have alignment restrictions. These items often grant negative levels to Good, Evil, and more rarely Chaotic or Lawful creatures-essentially those of the opposing alignment. Now, these (no matter how long they are worn for) never result...

    3.5e Module Train Wreck / Opinion Thread

    It doesnt sound like the guards were being directly controlled, just under orders by an imposter.

    3.5e Module Train Wreck / Opinion Thread

    A Paladin is supposed to be both Lawful and Good. Its actually very important to how the class/profession is supposed to behave. If you throw the whole concept out of the window-then what governs the paladins's behavior? Again, they are supposed to uphold a CODE of conduct. If they can just...

    3.5e Module Train Wreck / Opinion Thread

    The World is ALIVE things happen whether the PCs are there or not. I believe you should set a pace, and have time sensitive events as well as windows of opportunity. The BBEG isnt just sitting around he's actually doing stuff, and is going to reach his goal unless the PCs actions or other events...

    Intelligent Apes

    How many monsters in these game were made from cheap plastic toys? I think I need to go to the dollar store.

    Intelligent Apes

    For WHATEVER reason-there were intelligent seafaring apes, Hadozee, as a PC race in Stormwrack of all places. I just did not get it. This might "float your boat".

    3.5e Module Train Wreck / Opinion Thread

    The Player Characters are never "supposed" to do anything. They may be expected to do a number of things, but they are never supposed to do anything.

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    So what was the point of Lichdom, seeing as you gain all the weaknesses of undead? Isnt there some way to be immortal but "alive". And on an unrelated side note, it may be older edition-but wasnt it written somewhere that Liches cant bodily leave the plane? (at at least do so and leave there...

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    On a side note-has anyone notice that Magicians often end up being Big Bad Evil Guys? Othertimes he becomes the Court Wizard in service to a greedy, evil king and takes up the role of treacherous advisor. He may not directly oppose the Lord, but he works from behind the throne and puts himself...

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    I've heard "collaborative storytelling" used just about all my RPing life, but I'll say its an interesting point. As for the role of the wizard-to satisfy the mundanes, in combat I would see him ideally as being crowd control Notice here how the magician incinerates the oncomming charge, and...

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    And why shouldnt a DM be key to making the game "work"? As for players limiting themselves, couldnt it be a give and take kinda thing? I mean, just because my Cleric can cast Find Traps doesnt mean I'm not going to let the rogue do his thing-cause thats his thing. Now, when the...

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    WHAT is the Spirit of The Game? -1E DMG, page 230; As someone said, Houseruling has always been apart of the game. (As has been bending the rules on the DMs part, call it 'cheating', call it 'fiat'.) Heh, Mordenkainen - The Original "Wizard That Did It". And if thats how it...

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    To be honest. Just living in a world where there are magic users and you are not...that could be scary as f:eek:ck. See...people sometimes go CRAZY. Sometimes people get all depressed or sad-aloney. Read Elder Evils and see how ONE little Elven Wizard (18th level) thought NOBODY cared about...

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    Its not that I've never heard people bring up that casters can be powerful or that there are plenty of ways to break spells/rules with combos like Chaos Shuffle or any number of builds/combos...(noncasters included) CoDzilla, Cheater of Mystara, Pun-Pun, Wish and the Word, Nasty Gentleman...

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    Bluenose Dig your avatar. As far as "solutions" of giving martial classes more magic-that is one thing I brought up in the other thread. Still as far as supernatural "martial stunts"-I dont know what you would give them that would actually bring them up to par with what wizards or cleric do...
