Just design your adventures so that the bad guys don't know much (need to know), or provides the information you want the players to get, which will advance them to the next plot point. I'm not sure what you normally do to seed the next step of the adventure for the players, but just have this...

The beginning of the Dragon Magazine article explains well what the point of an urban druid is. The "unnatural city" is actually a naturally-occuring superorganism. Ayn Rand would have been an urban druid if Earth was a D&D world. She worshiped skyscrapers as the pinnacle of achievement by man...

My urban druid of the city of Caludron had an animated caludron as her "animal companion". I created some custom "Summon [urban] ally" spells for her that includes animated objects, domesticated animals, and "the town guard". She cast her spells by saying "spirit of Caludron, grant your...

You'll want to read the Urban Druid article from Dragon Magazine #317. It was so good that it was included in the Dragon Compendium. I love the urban druid. Urban Druids have all of the social skills and K:local, K:nobility, & K:history. They also get at 1st level +2 with Gather Information and...

I think that means "Yes" the GSL changed in that respect. This Monday was the first meeting of my coworkers that accepted my D&D invite. The plan is to play through this adventure saga. Until then, I'm just running them through scenarios so the players new to the game can get the hang of it and...

I bet he's walking over to Roy's body to cast ressurection right away.

Here's a good article for Christians concerned about D&D: Confessions of a Dungeons & Dragons™ Addict

When the players can break your dungeons with high-level spells and effects, it can help to change what an adventure site means. With high level gaming, I like to think BIG! The entire multiverse is the "dungeon," teleport/wind walk/plane shift is the "hallway," the target location is the...

Slidin' allies and enemies all day long. I love my slip-sliding bard. He has all of the bard powers that moves allies and/or enemies around. My bard is like Bugs Bunny from the five minute mark of this video: YouTube - Bugs Bunny - Hillbilly Hare (Move the slider to the 5:11 mark. If the YouTube...

Asimor: putting the romance back into necromancy. :) I used to pronounce Drow to sound like row, but now I have it sound like cow. Someone caught me off guard with their pronunciation of Asmodeus. I say As-mo-de-us. He said Ass-mo-day-us. We're probably both wrong.

I think a better poll would have been: What's your reaction to GSL?Helpful.Friendly.Indifferent.Unfriendly.Hostile. To answer your question, I'm unaligned.

So, I think the reason there aren't any rules for lava in 4th ed. D&D is because it's one of those effects that is left purposely for the DM to make it what they need it to be. Kinda like how ice increases in slipperyness as you go up in level. When you're low level, ice is really cold and only...

Oh, ow. Fail on my part. I checked the prefix tag of the thread title for "4e", without realizing that I was currently in the 4e forum. :erm: :blush: So, I hope you will let me retcon my answer: You can uses the 3e resources for lava that I provided for your 4th ed. D&D game! Just drag & drop...

From the System Resource Document... Lava Effects. It's also in the Dungeon Master's Guide. If you have access to the DMG II, you'll want to check out the Lava part on pg. 53 in the Archtypical Locations section. Of course, Fire & Brimstone is good also.

There's a little information about the D&D Rules Cyclopedia found on Wikipedia.

My paladin archetype is Nicholas Angel from the movie Hot Fuzz. He excels at being lawful and is also very good. But he is rather sad and he could also benefit from an above-average Charisma, so that he can inspire people with his diligence instead of annoy them. I really like that even in the...

Wizards are the scientists of the D&D world. They explore the natural phenomenon of magic, discern and chart the laws of this aspect of their reality, experiment to qualify magical forces, then establish recipes for channeling this natural power source in a reliable predicable fashion...

The dragon may decide to capture V instead.

The warlord class was made for me. WotC came together and decided to make a class just for Frank. I'm sorry that my class is taking up space in your PHB, but you don't have to play it if you don't want. :) The fighter specializes in wielding a weapon. The warlord specializes in wielding a...

I'm sorry, but you are missing my point. I'm not advising preventing players from discerning if a monster is a minion or not. I'm fine with players knowing what's what. But this is advice for the first combat with minions that the players have. In addition, I also recommend not just pulling a...
