I doubt destroying a city block would really do much to slow a city down. Some taverns and places might get ruined, but it would hardly stop it. Even if the castle or center of government were destroyed, it would create an inconvenience, but little more. If rulers are killed, there would...

Like Buttercup above, I never would have gamed. I've always played online. Heck, its how I've met some of my best friends. Without the Internet, its likely I never would have gamed to begin with.

Well, for the first step of a murder is for it to not necessarily to be a murder. Let it start as a missing person. That way, the first step is then to find out that it is a murder. Heck, even a small Divination spell could tell the PCs that, but that makes the players feel like you're not...

Not sure if this is aimed at me, but I have leveled cities before or caused massive magical plagues. I love it. Its fun and good for plot purposes, plus it keeps that magical feel in the world. Nonetheless, I do somewhat "nerf" it because I do like the idea of mages, once they get to a...

I've noticed that one should start out small. Don't worry about too much info about the cities until its needed. Also, let the player's build some of the world with their own backgrounds and such - makes them puny mortals feel almost important :o But for a larger scale, I personally think...

I would argue that Disguise Self could not hide them by itself. It could provide a +10 bonus to the Disguise Skill to hide them, but could not automatically hide them. Alterself would hide them, in my opinion, without needing a roll since it can create them. To me, a logical consequence is to...

I never have any dice at hand on the table. Actually, I don't even have a table. All of my gaming is done online so we use an online dice roller. However, one thing I do for d20 rolls is do an Excel spreadsheet of random d20 rolls and use them for my NPCs and monsters just to save time...

DMH, If I can pose a question to you, why the questions on the topic? I'm just asking because, if we know where you're coming from with this, then we might be better able to answer them. Generally speaking, there is a reason why the city was choosen for its placement - a principle trade...

The thing keeping him from doing that is "good guys". Heck, even a bad guy won't like it if he rules the city. Can they do it? Sure. Will there be reprecussions? You bet! Just like with what PCs do, something will happen and perhaps even come back to bite them in the butts from doing it...

The peasants are gonna get toasted for a bit, but in a day or so, they'll have some heroes helping them out. Its the way heroes do their things. Just need word sent into the city and a quick Sending and a Teleport later and four 16th level adventurers are ready to rock.

Sure, killing orcs is good. Its D&D. Now, that isn't entirely true, but even I agree that there is an idea of what a fantasygame is and isn't. Sure, I've turned it upside down once or twice (the orcs being the good guys) and have even turned a central point in the genre around in a whole...

Just wanted to say that I really liked that form of payment. Definately gonna save that one for my game too. Concerning payments of gaseous entities, I'd say the incense is a nice way to go. Also, while he might not be able to use any material forms or even carry them, he could take them back...

As much as I try to strive to be realistic in the D&D world, even I prefer the notion that most people live a life that is fairly "normal" in terms of the medieval world. Almost everyone is illiterate and has fleas in their bed and farms for a living. And of course they're in danger from orc...

That is going to be my next bard's name...

I just tried the Everchanging Book of Names (the link from Patryn). It looks great! I just started putting together a kingdom where the base language is based off Latin and the names it generates is great! Thanks for the link.

Damn I'm good! I just wish I could realize that. Thank you, I appreciate the help.

Quick question here: Is there an original thread for the contest on Enworld? I just wanted to look back over it and see the rules, guidelines, etc. Thanks!

Nope, they don't stack. Its a shame too... ...but it makes sense so as not to make it too powerful.

I agree that its a *huge* benefit. No questioning there. But, in terms of rules, why should the price be so vastly different?

Should have dropped this in the other thread I started, but oh well... For an Intelligent magical weapon, does the weapon need to be help in the character's hand in order to use its powers? Can it see/hear (including Blindsense and Darkvision) even when sheathed? Are continuous use powers...
