    My party has no healing magic!

    This is looking similar to what is going to happen in my campaign, no one is going to be playing a cleric. Solution? Simple! They are a group of adventurers, right? They know that there are such things as clerics, and that none of them are one. They know that they need the services of a...

    [DM]- How to get party together at beginning of new campaign?

    Hey there everyone! Thanks for the great ideas so far! I've read them all and I'm still thinking everything over, so feel free to give any more ideas if you have any! :) Wraith Form, Thank you for the advice! Perhaps I should kind of explain more of what I'm thinking though. I got the idea...

    [DM]- How to get party together at beginning of new campaign?

    DM Toad, That's a great idea! And, it's actually kind of like the one that I used in my first ever campaign.. although that one was a sort of fish-festival.. hehe. I REALLY want to avoid the "you're all in a tavern when..." sort of thing. I could run with what I had previously said about the...

    [DM]- How to get party together at beginning of new campaign?

    Hello there everyone, I'm kind of new to DM'ing and I'm going to be starting a new campaign shortly. The group is already established, we've had other DM's run a few different games that we've played in, but now I'm going to take my turn at DM'ing. I want a more emphasis on roleplaying in my...

    Relativly new DM needs some help: How to run a Dragon encounter (alot of Questions)

    Hey, thanks for the compliment Murrdox! :) My players are really enjoying the campaign alot, it's a really good mix between roleplaying and killing things :) This of course will be roleplayed really well (the whole plot hook, lead up to it and all), but let's face it, at least half of the fun...

    Relatively new DM needs some help: How to run a Dragon encounter without killing PC's

    More good replies. As for why is it out on it's own? Well, it says that younger/less intelligent Evil Dragons tend to lay clutches of 1d4+1 eggs around the countryside. This one would have been part of just a 2 egg laying and I was thinking that it killed it's sibling off in a fight over food or...

    Relatively new DM needs some help: How to run a Dragon encounter without killing PC's

    Well, now that's just damn good DM advice that I can't argue with :) Here's the reason that this whole Idea came about. I was reading over the Sunless Citadel (the only published adventure I own) just for some comparison value to what I've already run/how I'm running things. My campaign is...

    Relativly new DM needs some help: How to run a Dragon encounter (alot of Questions)

    AWESOME replies guys! :) Thanks for picking apart my post Olgar! Question about the reach of a Large Dragon though, would that apply to *all* of it's attacks? (Bite, claws, wings, tail slap). After looking over it and rethinking it, I think it might be best to go with a well played Wyrmling...

    Relatively new DM needs some help: How to run a Dragon encounter without killing PC's

    Well yes even a good Dragon has to eat, but Evil Dragons tend to eat creatures more then good. Also, an Evil Dragon just sort of "fits" in the situation I've been coming up with in my mind. As for killing it, no they don't need to, but I *want* them to! I don't want to make it obvious though...

    Relatively new DM needs some help: How to run a Dragon encounter without killing PC's

    Really good suggestions/tips so far, and thanks for the link Eric! :) Making the Dragon a good-aligned one wouldn't work very well, what motivation would the PC's have to kill it? I don't think it would be "stealing" livestock from a town if it was good, and there wouldn't be any evil Kobold...

    Relativly new DM needs some help: How to run a Dragon encounter (alot of Questions)

    Hello everyone, thanks for looking. I'm a relatively new DM and I thought I'd like to throw my PC's up against a legendary creature, a Dragon! I have a well-balanced group of 6 players, all 2nd lvl characters. They consist of: Paladin, Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Bard, Wizard. I would like to pit...

    [Savage Species] Quick Skills question

    I'm starting a Half-Dragon Fighter character and have a question about skills. I remember reading somewhere that you get to keep the base creatures' skill list. That would mean my skill list is a combination of the fighters skill list, and the dragon skill list, correct? Thanks!
