    Day of Discovery (Problem child)

    Does the other player support him in this or tell him to knock it off before it causes problems at the table?

    Day of Discovery (Problem child)

    Why is the Twilight armor enhancement bad? Or are you just a Rainbow Dash fan? :P

    Day of Discovery (Problem child)

    I think Dandu has expertly covered most of this. I have one question though. With his smiting spell, does the benefit for placing a spell into a weapon last if it leaves his hand? For instance, if he put Parching Touch into an(?) arrow and passed it off to you, does it last? Or does the...

    Character Death

    Now I'm picturing wizards binding air elementals to sail boats to ensure they've always got the wind at their backs. I wonder if lanteen sails would have even been invented in a high magic world. Oh ... and there I go, over thinking it again.... :(

    Character Death

    N'raac I think the issue comes from the fact that the PC and his family come from an aquatic, and if I understand correctly, underwater culture. From a story/world perspective a water elemental might have fit better but the air was chosen because of the bonuses it has.

    Advice for Cal Coalbarrel, Halfling Pyromancer

    Hmm ... I'm not too familiar with ToB and maneuvers. Do you need to multiclass to get your maneuvers? Multi-classing means fewer caster levels which means less of a big boom. Practiced Spellcaster could be a good way to offset that. The capstone ability, which lets you blow yourself up...

    Advice for Cal Coalbarrel, Halfling Pyromancer

    Well, I think the big thing is if you can Turn/Rebuke attempts to fuel other feats. I don't think as written you can use your rebuke fire creatures to fuel something like Divine Meta-Magic. Could you grab Arcane Disciple? Is your wisdom high enough for that? With that being said, it sounds...

    Character Death

    Alright Greenfield I am going to advocate something I thought I never would. Give it to him. Give him everything. All the gear on his sister's body. All the treasure you find in the necropolis. All of it. And then two things have to happen. 1) Enforce encumbrance/carrying limits. 2)...

    Advice for Cal Coalbarrel, Halfling Pyromancer

    Hope this isn't too late but I would look at the feats Searing Spell (Penetrates energy resistance) and Fiery Spell (+1 damage per die). Both can be found in Sandstorm. Also, if you want MOAR FIRE then look at Elemental Savant. It has some neat bonuses, slowly turns your type to an outsider...

    Character Death

    Why am I reminded of this...? Problem Child should be happy, really. I know plenty of players that would have obliterated the air elemental on sight. Either because they didn't have any ranks in knowledge or because something strange approached their camp inside the evil creepy graveyard...

    What made you stick with 3.x?

    I was excited for Pathfinder. Went out and bought the core rulebook and the bestiary. Showed it to my group with the hopes of getting people to jump ship. Or at least try it. The response from the group was "Yea, but we already own all this 3.5 stuff...."

    Character Death

    "How did you get a staff of the magi at level 1?!" "Well, there's no cost listed for it. It's free."

    Weather in Campaigns

    I'm pretty sure there was a story here on the boards where a DM had a near TPK because the party's big bad fighter got caught in a sandstorm and the rest of the party tried to rescue him rather than stay inside the shelter....

    Weather in Campaigns

    I had a power gamer in my last group. Any combat encounter was trivial to him due to his build. What did him in? He wandered off into a snowstorm by himself. The party never did find his frozen body....

    Ideas for a corrupt but liked ruler

    Why should that stop the tax collectors from trying?

    Weather in Campaigns

    The weather is just sorta there. I don't typically roll for it every adventuring day. I'll point out things like "Hey, we're moving out of summer and starting to get into autumn". If I want to play up the weather it's typically built into the encounter or adventure. I haven considered...

    Ideas for a corrupt but liked ruler

    What if it isn't just the ruler but the most of the government? Most of the taxes raised go to "administration overhead". The government is slow to do anything about social problems or infrastructure. Crime is on the rise and the police force is harsh in their response. Basic staples are...

    Questions to ask my players-Making sure I am still a good DM

    I would add this question in, too. Are you having fun? Because, that's the reason you're at the table, right?

    Character Death

    The rules a group use should be bendable. I think in all scenarios the Player and DM need to talk about what's going to happen. Retiring a character because of alignment debates or a personality conflict (a paladin not wanting to murder orc babies for example) is a sign of good faith from a...

    Character Death

    Greenfield Two questions. First, while I would normally not advocate giving into whiny player's demands, could you have altered the reincarnate table to include that player's race? I think that an aquatic race in the middle of the desert sorta excludes them from the list of options, out of...
