    D&D 3.x PHB3.5 UMD example question

    There are at least two ways to look at this question. 1. She would not have to take the UMD check again, because she already figured out how to work the device. or 2. She would have to take the UMD check again, because she cannot easily channel the energies of the 'turn undead' ability...

    Cleric of Wee Jas - View of Undead?

    Well, since Wee Jas is a god of death, I would assume that since undead are really just shirking death - especially the liches and other intelligent undead. It's more of an insult to death, and insult to the god of death. I would say he's not partcularly fond of the undead.

    How do you get your PCs to run away?

    Sometimes my players metagame and figure out whether something is just too difficult for the party, but most of them don't make their characters act stupid so they run when it's the right time. If one or two of them can't fight a fight, they back off and let others have at it. I was playing a...

    Have we lost the dungeon?

    I design worlds for my game - and in them I have kingdoms. But when it comes down to the basics of playing the game, I throw in dungeons because they work very well. I spend most of my time drawing dungeons, the world that surrounds it is important but I seem to find time to put it off. Some of...

    Crafting Questions - Prereq Spells

    If you're an artificer you don't need those prerequisite spells.

    Artificers and power playing

    The artificer can use additional charges of the wand the apply metamagic feats, including quicken and twin to the spells triggered. This is probably burning up 9-13 charges per use, giving him about 5 rounds with them, but that's still highly excessive. Especially when they can be crafted with...

    Artificers and power playing

    One of my players is making an artificer as a backup character for the campaign I'm about to start running. Truthfully, he probably knows that is evil peasant sacrificing cleric is going to get the slammer pretty fast. I'm thinking, upon hearing some things, that I'm going to have to do that to...

    Does Gender Matter?

    I'm a guy who plays all three kinds, I tend to prefer magic or rogue, but I also like the fighter types - when done right. The 'hulk smash' isn't always appealing, I prefer a character that's a bit more intelligent than average, whether it's tactics or otherwise.

    What kind of things would one encounter inside a tree?

    If you remember the Legend of Zelda, probably that kind of stuff, maybe a bit more than just spiders and some insane creatures. Very primal creatures, depending on the situation of the tree, I might but in a blood ape(or whatever) from MMII, that sort of thing. If you're going for a slightly...

    What's your single favorite D&D creature?

    Intelligent aberrations: Illithids, Aboleths. I love the whole 'evil counter-society' sort of thing, plus the illithids remind me of call of cthulhu... mmm, squid-god-monster.

    How Good can Evil be?

    Societally speaking that's evil; however, from a ideological point of view in D&D it's a matter of law and chaos. Slaves are very ordered, and can be used to accomplish 'good' deeds. The evil and good come in the treatment of the slaves. If you make the slaves needlessly suffer, and probably...

    Does Orb of Force affect a golem?

    I was playing a game in Eberron and a similar question came up in relation to a half-golem wolf, the ruling was that since the orbs ignore spell resistance, it bypasses whatever protection the half-golem wolf had. Golems, I don't know if they are any different are as follows. The description...

    Players and Sacrifice

    Thanks for the feedback, it is really is an abuse of the BoVD. I've already put a mostly-ban on it, and most other books. I'm thinking he'll just be sacrificing people and won't necessarily get the stuff for it (ie. bull's strength for a day and shadow exp/gold). Look's like it's learning the...

    Players and Sacrifice

    I'm about to start running another campaign, set loosely around the Egyptian pantheon to start off with. One of my players is planing on playing a cleric and going into the Walker of the Waste PrC(though it isn't normally a PC-style class, he'll be able to do it alright). The Walker of the Waste...

    ....and the DM just gaped

    Our group was playing a fairly standard D&D game, with characters about lvl 8-9, in a Forgotten Realms style game. We had found a pedestal that required some sort of activation rod, a staff perhaps, and we went to find the staff. As we came up to the BBEG, there was the standard dramatic...
