I do not know if this has been discussed or not, but one of my players wants to buy a mithril greatsword. What do you guys feel that the price should be for mithril weapons? any other advantages besides the halved weight? anyone see some difficulties obtaining it in... lets say Arabel or...

3-5 is perfect for me. We used to play with one DM and 6 players, but it got all messed up. People get bored when nothing happens to them in a while, and combat is slow as a snail's slithering... We usually have 4 players, and it is working out pretty well... now, one of us will move to the...

I've noticed.. a couple of the prices, and especially the wages for labourers and others are ridiculously low... adventurers must be some of the richest guys on the planet! Adventurers could easily hire a mercenary group consisting of 200+ men to help them out for the cost of 5 or 6 healing...

I think the DC is 20 or 25 + the spell level... must be 25 I think... still fairly difficult to find for a rogue, so a spellcaster certainly has the best chance of finding it. Most wizards stack up a few detect magic spells anyway.

I have a d3 in my collection... its a six-sided die with 2 ones, 2 twos and 2 threes...

But you could take 20 on Search? even though it takes a lot of time? damn... I hope the rogue in my group doesn't know about this... hehe..

And if you're already injured, you can provoke him by quaffing a healing potion in advance, curing some of the hit points you could lose if he hits you..

8 players? oh my... thats dire... Anyway... when we started playing 3ed fall of 2000 (couple of weeks after the PHB shipped), we had both a wizard and a sorcerer! Granted, the wizard had 18 strength! (she planned on multiclassing into fighter later), but she survived until 4th or 5th level I...

Thanx fellows... I should have known that, but the players were having an easy time, and I tried to even the odds a little... what if that rogue was trying to sneak attack the troll, and the fighter WAS indeed providing cover? could he theoretically sneak attack the fighter accidentally? I do...

Is it possible to create a +1 flaming, cold, electricty longbow? or a sword for that matter? stacking all those three effects onto one weapon? it would be a hell lot better than making a +4 bow...

But the rogue would still suffer the normal -4 penalty for firing into a melee? right?

In yesterdays session, a fighter was in close combat with a troll, while a rogue fired at the troll from a distance. He missed on his shot, and since the troll and the fighter were in melee, I ruled that if the rogues attack roll was high enough to hit the fighter, he would. THe fighter was...

Maybe the rogue has in his posession a treasure map from somewhere in the Pirate Isles. The Sea of Fallen Stars is ideal for a good old treasure hunt. Maybe the dwarf is reluctant and gruff about the sea voyage, and maybe the paladin wants to clean up all the evil that infests the Pirate Isles.

Heh.. tricky one... maybe the wizard just moves his lips, without making any sound. So a Read Lips with a Spellcraft could identify it? Or maybe he suggests it mentally to the victim? No... maybe that's a little far-fetched..

Ahh... ok.. bad example... but let's say a spell without a material component... I refuse to believe that a spellcaster can identify a still & silent spell that don't use material components. Sure, you can see he's concentrating, so you MIGHT be allowed to cast dispel magic to counterspell...

Ahh... yes.. of course... stupid me.. I once had a fighter with four attacks in the round with boots of speed... when encountering enemies 10 foot or more away, he used his move-equivalent action to walk to him, his standard action to make an attack, and the partial action to make another...

In the past, I have used a variety of methods of getting rid of players. I have been playing for 8 years, and when we started, I was only 14 years old. As you can imagine, some of the players were quite childish, but so were we all, and we enjoyed monster slaying and treasure hunting at first...

Can't imagine anyone identifying a spell from a wizard when all he does is concentrate.. "Ahh... it looks like he's concentrating very fireball-ish!" Unless you have some means of reading his mind, then...

You can only ready a partial action, and a haste only allows partial actions as well... as i see it, two partial actions cannot be combined to make a full round attack. It allows you to make two attacks, or one attack and one partial move... but not three or more attacks..

Spot and Listen of course... search (even if they always search 2-3 times if they got the time). Sense Motive and Bluff.... Disable Device... Usually, the clue is to whether or not the skill result will be obvious to the PCs at once. If they miss a climb check, they know that they failed...
