    Holy Avenger and SR radius

    Hi all, I have a paladin in my group who will be questing for a Holy Avenger blade in a few levels time (he is 12th and I plan to make the possibility available at around 15th-16th level). At any rate, I was having a look at the weapon's description, and it mentions that the sword creates a...

    [OT] Advice/thoughts on New Zealand

    What the...? Australians and NZ'ers sound nothing alike. Thought this would double in explaining my meaning, in addition to helping you translate should you go: HOW TO SPIK NEW ZEALANDER FOR BIST EFFICT ­RID THESE OUT LOUD Peck -­ To put clothes in the suitcase Pissed aside ­- Chemical...

    Wulf's Collected Story Hour -- FINAL UPDATE 12/25

    Seems cut-and-dry to me. It basically says that unless specifically stated, you always get a Saving Throw. In the case of a sleeping character (or even one that is held, stunned, or paralysed) they will be allowed a Reflex save; however, as their Dex is equal to 0, this will be at a -5 penalty...

    Favourite D&D adventure

    Another vote for B10 - Night's Dark Terror. Honourable mention to X11 - Saga of the Shadow Lord, definitely on a par with some of the better modules out there.

    Another Spring Attack Question

    Can you use Spring Attack while charging? For example, could you charge 20', attack and opponent, and then retreat 40' (if you had a base 30' move)? I am inclined to rule against, but since you can use Spring Attack as part of an Attack (under which is Charge), I can see the argument for both...

    DMs Don't Kill PCs. PCs kill PCs.

    The DM erred in this instance. An owlbear has a face of 5ft by 10ft. This means that an owlbear occupies two squares, due to its size category of Large. While grappling, it stands to reason that the rogue would have been pulled into the first of the owlbear's two squares. The flaming sphere...

    Animated Shield duration?

    I was curious as to how long a shield that has the 'Animated' special ability defends the user subsequent to activation. From the SRD: "Upon command, an animated shield floats within 2 feet of the wielder, protecting her as if she were using it herself but freeing up both her hands. Only one...

    High Level Games - Love 'em or hate 'em?

    I agree. That has been the feeling of the players in my campaign. They are used to gaming under a different DM who ran games only up until around 7-9th level or so in 2nd ed. They haven't had a chance to play over that level. On the one hand I am looking forward to mucking around with powerful...

    Wulf's Collected Story Hour -- FINAL UPDATE 12/25

    Apologies Apologies to Korak - I extrapolated the discussion to a false conclusion. As I said, I think your Paladin was a great character, from my perception as given on this board. He did some pretty heroic stuff, and unlike the peck, seemed to always be right in the thick of it all the time...

    Knight of the Middle Circle Opinions?

    Don't forget that - unlike most other times when you multiclass as paladin you cannot advance further in that class - the Knight of the Middle Circle PrClass allows you to go back and take more levels in Paladin if you want (the normal paladin multiclass restriction does not apply). Very cool.

    Golem Creation - T&B vs MM

    Hi all, So what is the score with regards to Golem creation? In the MM it seems pretty cut and dry. Spend X gold, Y xp, and Z weeks and there you go. In Tome and Blood is is similar with the exception that some gold is spent on Vestments which can be reused (30,000gp on vestments for a Stone...

    Sovereign Press to produce Dragonlance

    This is great news! I'm confident that they'll get it right, too. In the past though, information on all the different regions of Ansalon have been pretty sketchy to say the least. If they follow the Forgotten Realms Campaign Supplement format though in geographic detail, that would be...

    The Unusual Heroes vs. The Pool of Radiance

    Thanks Xaltar! Looking forward to reading about it all!

    The Unusual Heroes vs. The Pool of Radiance

    I am really keen to see how this turned out! I am running my PC's and they beat the Alhoon too. For CR 19 it really is very weak with a very poor selection of spells. They trapped the thing at the entrance to the tomb (they had closed the doors so they couldn't be pursued by cultists). The...

    Roy and H.G. do RttToEE

    Great stuff! Do your players know they're being victimised?

    He actually bears a disturbingly uncanny resemblance to Sean K Reynolds, the module's author...

    The Unusual Heroes vs. The Pool of Radiance

    I think I can see what's coming... if I'm right then you're an evil, evil man Xaltar! Still, since SKR posted the stats, it really does seem a real shame to not even use them..! Anyway, I'm keen to see how this adventure pans out! *prod* :)

    The Unusual Heroes vs. The Pool of Radiance

    Pretty impressive stuff! My group, who I am also running through this adventure, has just discovered the portal. I am seriously hoping that they don't take a leaf out Dr. M's book... TPK's kinda kill campaigns... If you are crazy enough to throw down with an Alhoon, it makes me wonder if you...

    Does my party gain lvl too fast?

    I run a campaign every Sunday that tends to start at about 1pm and ends around 7 or 8pm on average. I have 7 PC's, so opportunities to roleplay tend to exclude a large proportion of the group so, as a result, the campaign is fairly combat heavy with most EL's exceeding the average party level...

    Enforcer's Wheel of Time Story Hour [Last Update 5-20-02 (finally!)]

    Good start! A great background for the character - very nicely detailed, along with the journal narrative. In my opinion, it's refreshing to see a first person perspective for a change. I look forward to the next installment, although I hope to see more from the actual PC's! Keep it coming!
