Yeah, just like when they repeatedly said they werent working on 4th edition.

Dont be limited to the MMs for what these NPCs can do. Especially while you are building them up in the game. If this guy is the best swordsman in town, then give him a power like this: 'It is not your time Dr. Tam' At-will, martial, weapon Free. Trigger: the plot appropriate moment Target...

The way to fix this, is that any round he dosent attack, the avatar of the god of cowards stabs him in the back Twenty seven rounds?!?!?!? After three I would have told him to justify his actions, and when he couldnt, I would have thrown him out. And here is your answer to solve your problem...

I have told my DM that if he even tries to run us through the Tomb, I will walk out of the game. The old one is not an adventure, it is an exersize in futility and frustration.

It is also two surges. Oddly enough, that is half your hit points in healing. Technically, it all depends on how the surges work out in play. The ranger in my game could have half the surges and generally still not run out before the fighter and the cleric. On the other hand, the cleric with...

pull the chain. press the big red button. transport to the coordinates inside the asteroid. Any crazy bast... I mean adventurer will do these things

Wierd. I could hand out the monsters to the players so that they have all the monster capabilities right before them, and yet still run an interesting game. It isnt: Orc with Greataxe, +5 to hit, 1d12+5 damage that makes the game interesting. It is "I will eat your eyeballs elf!"...

Isnt that a badonkadonkeyhorse? The one with the dominate power?

Nope, they will be egg layers with breasts. oh wait, what does monotreme mean again? :D

You missed half of it. They blind(save ends) and they also get a sneak attack.

Its a WOTC conspiracy to keep the mule down! Help help, I'm being repressed!

I use them about a third of the time. They are good to bring up numbers without making the combat drag, they are good at being ablative meat shields, they are good at being annoying flankers, shooter minions can either use up a surge or two or keep the party's shooters busy for a bit.... This...

If a world filled with clerics, the god of plagues just might take that into account. Make the plague spread faster than can be cured. Gee I wonder where the word hospital came from? As long as you can pay for the raise dead, and the spirit is willing to return from paradise/be released by...

If you have a god of commerce/merchants/greed/yadda-yadda then what is the problem with selling boons? It wouldnt really be any different than buying a potion or holy water from the church

Why are you so invested in doing something that the player of the PC involved thinks is such a horrible idea? It isnt anything in game that is the problem. If the DM wants, the mum can go from housewife to abomination in any time period wanted or needed. In D&D, everything can run at speed of...

If the PC wrote the backstory, then the PC has an equal share in the manipulation of the backstory. This dosent mean that the DM cant do things with the backstory, but it does behoove him to check with the player on if the player thinks it fits. If the player thinks that his PCs mum bakes...

It is interesting that players will not want a backstory that they have created, cause the DM may use it against them, but are perfectly willing to let the DM use greed, sloth, envy and bloodlust against them all the time

That woudl work: Replace the picture on page XX with this picture: :)

For enhancement bonus items, I give what the party needs, of appropriate level. For the rest, I toss out a bunch of items and consider half of them to be cash-in-waiting. I give out the extra items to see how the party uses them. Most arent particulary powerful, so it is no big deal. I dont lock...

How do you differentiate between a wizard, sorcerer and warlock? How do you differentiate between a warlord and a fighter? How about a two-weapon barbarian, tempest fighter, and a ranger? Personally, I think the need for the distinction is silly. If the pic is in the class entry, it is...
