Let's say a creature has acid resistance 5 and is hit by 3 Melf's Acid Arrows. On the next round, the caster rolls 6 damage for each of these arrows' continuous damage. Does the creature take 3 damage (1 from each?) that round?

Plot types don't bother me, stupidity does. I hate when characters refuse to sacrifice 1 innocent child to save 10,000 people. Their excuse is always, "how can we know the potential of one child?" or shomething similar. How can they know about everyone in the city? I hate that so much. Down...

Hey, I'm in Boulder! Could you give me some more info about your game? Playstyle, a general idea of the type of house rules, etc.

Consider the military ramifications of a stick of unlimited fireballs (caster level 5), for only three times the cost. Not only do you invalidate contemporary military tactics for troops (they need to be dispersed now), but you can also destroy fortresses with ease (20 minutes to destroy a...

I think this is really cool. I had a question about one of the examples though: Why is the sword typically a 19-20/x3? It's 6d6 becuase that is one step above 4d6, which is what he gets from weapon mastery, so he's not turning the damage into critical range. It might also help if you mentioned...

If you can buy it off as per AU, it is a lot more reasonable - though that won't help in the lower levels.

Thinking about it some more, the rogue really should have readied an action. So, ignore my middle paragraph. I'd still allow him to make an AoO with the bow. It should probably do 1d4 + str damage.

First, I'd have allowed the rogue to still attempt to not be seen, but given the fighter a big bous (+10, maybe?). If the rogue succeeded, I'd allow them to occupy the same square as long as neither one was engaged in combat (if that happened, the fighter would probably step on the rogue as he...

I could tell this from 1,2, and 3 ;) . Start out with running a one-shot/mini-campaign that you do want to run. The other people in your group will help you out if you're not sure with the rules, and there is less pressure than in a campaign. Once you feel comfortable running mini-campaigns...

If possible, I'd lay siege. If the BBEG has access to Create Food and Water then this won't work, but if he doesn't... Sneaking into the fortress of an enemy who is still active (as opposed to dead for 1,000s of years) seems like a generally bad idea if he has spent time prepping for an...

I'm now going to use a(n improved) phantom fungus in my next adventure - but I've never used one before.

This is a pretty small difference... much smaller than the effect of a high strength. It makes charisma less of a dump stat, but it certainly doesn't force you to have a high charisma.

I was planning on doing something like this, so I think I'll just steal this wholesale. Adventurers having a low charisma in general doesn't bother me; since they don't fit into society as well, they go adventuring. I would agree that a great leader should have a high cha, however.

Over what?

:D Thanks! :D

:o oops. Still, it is more time-consuming than in D20, I feel. If you made dice that weren't numbered, but instead had all of its sides painted in one of 3 colors (red for no, green for yes, black for a 1) it would speed it up a lot, I think (as I recall, in exalted, the number you need to...

d20 > d10, but still an excellent game This is kind of funny, since my comparison to one of my friends went the other way. It is simply more time consuming to roll multiple d10s and count the relevant ones than it is to roll 1 d20. D&D combat is sometimes too slow for my taste, and Exalted...

If/when you get around to fixing the spreadsheet, you should note that Defense bonus is calculating off of BAB (row 4, where it should be 5). If you don't want to use class defense bonus, just set all three to 0 (which is how I noticed the above bug.) Thanks! I'll definitely tinker around with...

Hit them with your bow!

I second this. You were using arctic kobolds, so this would have made lots of sense. And people would have been using balance on the ice. Yay! 6 characters are more than 50% better than 4 characters - which you have probably noticed. Weak enemies are generally nothing more than cannon fodder...
