The groups I've been in, and ones I've run, always went with an indefinite duration for use Rebuke Undead to command them. @Greenfield, I personally love the pale master and really want to play one again. That first level is a bit rough but I, personally, feel it's worth it. The graft and...

What about an Eternal Wand with Identify on it? Eternal Wands can be used by any arcane caster, regardless of spell list.

There is a group of people still working on the Hero Forge project. You can download it here.

In Drow of the Underdark there are feats that let you train and ride spiders. There is also a feat that lets a druid add spiders to their animal companion list. You could combine that with the Wild Cohort feat to give your cleric a spider mount. Drow of the Underdark (again!) also lets...

10th level Lawful Evil Cleric of Nerull STATS: (Assuming Elite Array) STR 13 -> 14 (at 8th, unless you take this villain to 12th. Then you should bump wisdom two more times instead.) DEX 8 CON 12 INT 10 WIS 15 -> 16 (at 4th) CHA 14 Take Death and Trickery for your Domains. Death for "I'm...

I was looking at the rules in the Magic Item Compendium. :)

Knowledge Arcana: DC 30 Can only be used on unique or extremely common items. May reveal a hint to the item's function or, possibly every detail. Search: DC 15 may reveal clue about function. Spell Craft: Potions: DC 25 Detect Magic: Exceed DC to ID school by 10 or more Reveals the item's...

You could also treat it like a grapple check but the dragon takes the -20 to his check to not be considered grappled himself.

Just ... just no. Don't. It's hard to come up with an idea on what the level adjustment would be for a template like that. Is it +4 str or +4 int? What's the lore behind it? Any other powers? I feel like the powers are what drive Level Adjustment a lot more than just racial stat bonuses...

When the bebilith hits with both its claw attacks, it rends the armor; dealing damage to it. I want to make sure I understand this ability correctly since my party will be fighting one soon. When the Bebilith rends, hardness applies. Right? The ability does not state that it ignores...

And if you were to change it now, you'd probably throw the rest of the group off since they're used to thinking of it in the wrong size!

I was on the train reading through the player's handbook. Eridanis was sitting near me and we got to talking.

Oh absolutely! And I think I wouldn't be the DM I am today without those early learning opportunities. A friend once told me that "Everyone's first campaign is horrible" and looking back, yea it kind of was. But we had fun and that's what mattered. I'm glad I took the chance to dive in and...

Looking back at the first campaign I ever ran, I'm glad we're not playing it! Lots of rookie mistakes and the less said the better. ;) That being said, I still play with two of my original group and that makes me very happy. :)

I once DM'd a game where I, as the DM, and a player used the warlock version of black tentacles and the warlock version of Dim Door. Holy cow. The battle field was soon littered with so many tentacles that no one could maneuver. I think the big thing with Black Tentacles is that it's...

No, only instantaneous conjurations are immune to Antimagic Field; things like Wall of Iron. Black Tentacles has a duration listed in rounds per level, not instantaneous.

Prep: -Research material (books, movies, video games, wikipedia, anything that helps get those creative juices flowing) -Red computation notebook. (Sometimes called a laboratory notebook I think. I've come to love using these for writing my DM notes) -Post-it Notes. (The little strip ones...

I've always thought that this was the designers explaining how they came to the grapple modifier more than anything else. Everyone at the table is obligated to make jokes that the spell gets a bonus versus uniformed school girls. No. Augment Summoning calls out any summoning spell you cast...

I've had a player roleplay bonding with their animal. It was a dog that she rescued from some goblins. The goblins were torturing it. She nursed the dog back to health; took it to a priestess of Ehlonna for blessing and started training it. As a reward to the roleplaying, I gave the dog...

Igwilly, I think that the murder hobo term comes from the fact that some players are more focused on the mechanics and combat than anything else. Their PCs go from dungeon to dungeon killing and looting only to do it again and again. The kind of PCs that have more GP value in their clothing...
