I also have another player run the PC for the session. It has worked pretty well so far.

Misread something, please ignore this :P

I think if you cast that spell you would find the platinum, but if a local cast the spell he would not find the platinum. My friend had a good analogy from real life. I believe I can relate it without totally mangling it, but please correct me if I'm wrong. In the United States, you are not...

Someone above (I think) suggested that a dead person was visibly distinct from an unconscious but soon to be dead (ie 6 seconds to 1 minute away from death) person or even an unconscious but stabilized person. How commonplace is this? What sort of cues would you look for?

I've just started to create my own world a few months ago, and I really wish I had made a blog of it as it has been quite fun and self-educational. I started with a concept. It was basically of a race of semi-divine beings which co-existed, to some extent, with the rest of the world. From...

I follow those who think it would be very hard for the orc cleric to know that the guy wasn't dead dead, especially in the heat of battle. This isn't a situation like a drow using poison to sleep a PC or an orc or other monster seeing someone cast a hold person or sleep on a PC. In these...

Definately character perspective. I would be careful about changing stuff around as a DM though, and would put out feelers to the player to see how they feel about such things.

Wow you had a +3 modifier? That's stupid. The DMG clearly states that if you need to make an adjustment that it should be in +2 increments (The DM's Best Friend, pg 30, DMG3.5). So it should have been a +2 (height bonus) or a +4 modifier (height + sand as a hard terrain to spot anything)...

Without thinking too much (since it's too late to do that... I'll let you decide which way I mean that), most bad guy speeches come at one of two places: 1. the bad guy thinks he has the hero beaten and is gloating before he kills him off 2. there is some impasse which is preventing...

I understand exactly where you're coming from. I have a wizard who took exotic proficiency: hand crossbow and has somewhat built his character around a fascination with hand crossbows. As a result, he's also burnt some skill points into being able to make a crossbow. As a weapon, frankly, the...

I had 6 but one just got married and moved farther away, so now I have 5 players. A couple people have expressed interest now and then, but I thought 6 was already too much, and they've been pretty cool about it. Having been in games with 4, 5, 6, five players is my favorite by far.

If you've already talked to him several times then I am not sure what else there is left to do. Rather than kicking him out, though, you can run a couple consecutive adventures which are strictly roleplay / intrigue based. Look over your other players' characters and find some ways for them to...

Well, there are lots of ways to look at it. One way to look at it is that 3 is 50% more than 2. That's pretty significant, though it does assume a linear progression, which I is a position I'm not advocating (I don't really care actually). The other thing to consider though is that the curve...

There are many things you could do. Here are a couple of suggestions. 1. (this one is stolen from another campaign I was in). The rings of elemental control have various abilities. Start with the lowest one and give them the ability every other level (or whatever you want them to progress...

While I do think it depends on circumstance, I think it can go either way. A "Big, muscley thing with bad dental hygiene, a worse disposition, and a club the size of your thigh" might just be a tall drunk human warrior who curses a lot but isn't actually cruel. Sure an ogre stands a couple...

Using this analogy I think there is another aspect. At very low intelligence, I would equate this to signal degradation and data correction. I think if your intelligence is low enough, your ability to correct data corruption is impaired, which may cause you to fail no matter how wise you are...

While I'm not sure it would work (I have no idea, just a thought came to me), but to roleplay this character you can do one or both of the following: 1. when you listen to other people, ignore all words past the third or fourth word. 2. when you listen to other people, ignore every other...

I think there is a small but non-zero chance that both the poster and the DM are fairly young. It is one possible explanation at least. As many people have said, there is no rule that says that girls (and women) cannot play female fighters in the rulebooks. However, the DM may decide to not...

I was just curious mostly... I don't really have a reason... kind of disappointing huh? :)
