    Sense Motive vs Bluff

    Ok, let me make it simpler: Player: Are you the assassin? Innkeeper: No. (DM rolls sense motive for the player, and bluff for the innkeeper) DM: You feel he is hiding something. Player: Ok, you are under arrest.

    Sense Motive vs Bluff

    No, actually the innkeeper is the assassin, so he did use bluff.

    Sense Motive vs Bluff

    I agree with Greenfield too. However I wasn't asking about this :p Ok let me give you an example: Player: Are you the assassin? Innkeeper: What the are you talking about?! Player: I sense motive him. DM: You feel he is hiding something. Player: Time to step on this zone of truth, old man...

    Sense Motive vs Bluff

    No guys I think you misunderstood what I meant. There are 2 possible replies you can give to a player in a sense motive check (it doesn't matter what words you use). 1) "he is bluffing." 2) "you think he is not bluffing." The 2) is ok, the players either failed their check (hidden check) or...

    Sense Motive vs Bluff

    Something I find strange: If the players roll sense motive, and I tell them that "he sounds honest" then they are not sure whether they failed their check, or the NPC is telling the truth. If I tell one of them "you think maybe he is hiding something" and I tell the others "he sounds honest to...

    Beguiler Build and group despair.

    I love beguiler, but maybe you should check out factotum? Beguiler will make the sorceror very jelly. Factotum has awesome skills, and some spells, and he can basically do everything. If he wants to throw fireballs and be a rogue at the same time, then why not rogue-wiz? He won't have to be the...

    Magic Items available for purchace?

    It is easy to make a challenge even if the chars have every magic item they can get. But you have to know exactly what they have. If someone buys items without you knowing it you can end up with some stupid encounters. I let my players get whatever they want, but I know what they have.

    Pricing an item

    If you craft it, don't you need the feat yourself? Anyway. Leadership will take a slot. It can't be a rod. You can't just grab it and "pop" followers appear, put it down and "pop" followers go away. It doesn't matter whats in the right slot, the thing that costs most is the one that doesn't...

    Pricing an item

    So it should be leadership 10k Wis 6k Cha 6k total 22k the 30% makes no sense, the players always get a free discount (and a way to prevent theft) if they use it, and the DM kills the loot if he uses it. If you want to give the item cheaper, just give it cheaper. :p

    Pricing an item

    Magic Items Granting Feats an nice list i found some time ago (probably here) Ok here is how I would price it: -What other feat a PC who would buy this item would be willing to remove from his build in order to take the leadership feat, if this item wasn't thrown at him? -How much that feat...

    I need a little tactical advice, as a DM

    Ok here is an other idea: A larger army will have a better access to spells too. You can fit in here that they should give the wands to their army. Whatever they do with the wands, the problem isn't holding the large army...it is keeping the pass safe. In the small pass the persians (or...

    Vampire vs Farmhouse & Grey Render

    Also, if the players expect a vampire, it will be easier to fight it. For example, finding the farmer dead, and then having him get up as a vampire, after the players bury him themselves will be more unexpected especially if they think the threat is not a vampire but something else. However if...
