I think the biggest question here is what did everyone (including you) feel about it? In my gaming group, I would've given them xp based on the encounter level of all the direct threats (so just the bowman) to be divided evenly, and a 25% xp bonus to the driud. I wouldv'e also told the driud...

This is coming mainly from the spell 'false life.' We (the characters) had an idea to buy a wand of false life and use it multiple times on each character before any big fights. I just read the divine vigor post and Smurf says that temporary hit points from multiple sources don't stack. I...

Thanks a lot! by the way, is "You can elect to allow him to pass through your square." an official ruling?

If someone runs through your square while you're invisible, what happens? I know may make an AOO (the opponent is moving into your space), but if you don't want to take it and remain invisible does the opponent automatically collide with you? How should I handle this, I was thinking of using a...

I got two things for you: 1) Evil people are ugly. Look at the difference btwn an Aasamar (however you spell it) and a tiefling; Angels and Devils; Paladins and evil fighter types who use Charisma as a dump score and 2) I'm DM'ing an evil party right now and although in reallife all the...

No need The way we do it in my game is that if you are sneaking up on someone it's move silently vs. Listen. If you're sneaking away it's Hide vs. Spot or Search. The reasoning on this is that the Rogue is only going to sneak up on the Orcs if they're not looking in his direction. If they...

If I have a dispel magic spell stilled, silenced, can I cast it while paralyzed? LIke to negate that hold person spell on me?

I had two similar situations that happened in a previous game. 1st: The PCs were on there way to a (supposedly) abandoned temple and met a NPC on his way back from the temple. The talk started getting ugly and one of the PCs thought he'd threaten the NPC by drawing his sword. I ruled combat...

About the sass I've been reading a bit too much KODT stuff, and when I think about dnd I start talking like Bob. Anyway I just get the feeling sometimes that when you offer advice, you do it in a way that says "isn't the answer already staring you in the face?" Most of the time you're right...

Thanks again I like the way you explain things Hyp.

Thanks Hyp Usually you give out more sass then advice but I truly appriciated that last bit of advice. One last question, what happens if they charm the last enemy left standing?

I see this situation coming up in the near future. Let's say that my PCs are fighting in a battle against multiple opponents (let's call them halflings, for no other reason then to stop confusion). My PC charms a halfling. On the charmed one's next round what would he do? My gut says he'd...

I had a character cast a cantrip (hygiene) on a smelly person I was intimidating. The DM told me that I recoiled from his putrid breath. So I told him if I had to interrogate the dirty half-dead wanker, at least I didn't want his smell sticking to me. Thats not really a new use though.

I’m a little confused about fighting opponents underwater. In an adventure I have planned, my PCs will fight in the sewers. The sewers have a ledge 5 feet above the water which is five feet deep. It looks something like this: L W L W where L is a ledge and W is deep water. They’re going to...

Yeah, I realise that. The spell levels per week that his master requires will increase at an alarming rate, but still the character wants to sell scrolls on the side. He'll be motivated to adventure in plenty of other ways.

I'm DMing a campaign in Forgotten Realms in Thay. One of my characters has dreams of becoming a red wizard so I ruled that at 3rd level, he's an apprentice who has his own house (250 sq ft) and as part of his apprentice duties he has to make scrolls for his master totaling 3 spell levels per...

Thanks everyone for your input. The DM and I had a good long talk about it and he agreed that the call was a little off. He's seen the light about me casting in a bar and such, so thanks for your support.

Oh yeah, I know that rule. Let me expand a bit on the question. First off the DC of people talking is 0, so if we make a distintion between talking and Strong voice, I'd say it's in between talking and the noise of a battle, so DC -5. Still at 360ft away (-36 penelty to spot and listen...

Here's the basics of my question; How visable is spellcasting? My DM and I are having a fight about it, which normally wouldn't mean anything because of rule #1 (the DM is always right). However we switch off adventures effectively co-DMing. Our players expect us to keep the rules fairly...
