OH - "slam". I missed it in the attack line! Thanks! Can't see crush mentioned (isn't that just for creatures that can Constrict?) Just want to confirm though - the giants provoke AoO when starting a grapple? And how do I get the giants to be able to toss/throw someone they have grappled? I...

OK - where does it say that Giants' hand to hand damage does threaten? Giants don't have Improved Unarmed Strike. yeah - but the best times, and those that get remembered, are when the situation is tight and stressful and they win their way through. At the moment they are not being majorly...

Death by massive damage. The continuing adventures in J After the party had picked off 4 of the fire giants and retreated to rest they headed back with the intention of doing the same sort of thing (try and lure a fire giant in to an ambush). The goblin rogue/sorcerer plunked one with a sling...

I hate having lots of laptops around the room. One guy uses it for his character sheet, but with them being able to look up d20srd etc online without me being able to see what they are doing can be a real pain (not that they are doing it - just that the possibility exists). I use a laptop and...

There were about 600 articles that got lost in the server crash end of last year, so if it was in there then you are out of luck.

Hi Paul. I listened to the audio podcasts as you went through it. In hindsight, what stands out? What bits became the good memories that you reminisce over?

jim - if it was perfect then we'd hardly have spent so much time in this forum throwing ideas around and tweaking things. If it was not worth using WLD then we'd hardly have spent so much time in the forum throwing ideas around and tweaking things. This forum is testimony to you getting a high...

Yeah - the description sucks. My group didn't go through B. I'd have the bridge extend from the east wall directly opposite the door in the west wall since the description says that the bridge stops short, but people can jump to it, and that they have to shuffle along the ledge to reach the SE...

try this. The room - if all the traps were working - would have a ledge around the room, then a 5' drop to a floor. Anyone dropping from the ledge down to the floor would trigger the trap, causing the floor to retract, dumping the person in the pit. A mechanism that extends a bridge across the...

thanks for the feedback. Given that the party is level 10 (except for 1 character who is level 9), I let the paladin be immune and gave everyone else a Will save DC 27 (which the Mystic Theurge made). Had the shaken state last for most of the time that the party moved south along the River of...

oh - and where is the crack in to J72? It isn't obvious on the map, and the description does not suggest that the entrance is the passage to N that is talked about in the introduction to J.

Region J fear effect I have a paladin in the party. From the SRD "Beginning at 3rd level, a paladin is immune to fear (magical or otherwise). Each ally within 10 feet of her gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects. This ability functions while the paladin is conscious...

goodness knows how long it will take us to finish WLD. We only play once a fortnight and it could well be another couple of years before the end. We will be using 3.5e. No plans to move to 4e, but we may juryrig some of the rules if they make the game easier - especially in speeding up encounters.

well - they are heading south to J. They are level 10 though, and a full party has 8 characters so they should be able to handle most things. I had them encounter the lantern archon in N and they had avoided touching the doors, and wisely realised that they might be in big trouble. The fighter...

part 2 from #2099 above. The one round of respite enabled a little healing to be done, then the whirlwinds came back with a vengence - no longer content to toy with the characters, the idea was to pick them up and drop them the 100-150 feet to the bottom of Death Canyon. 4 elementals, 4...

Region M to N? Region M is levels 9-12 Region N is levels 14-16 The eastern edge of the M map is open floor The western edge of the N map is mostly rock-wall so - either there is a very straight wall right on the edge of the M map to N, or I'm half inclined to get rid of the rock on the...

why not go for a series of movie-type adventures based on what a party who has already been through knows about. Assuming that they haven't pulled the kill-switch in N which could destroy the entire WLD, and knowing that there would be areas that the characters didn't get to/through ... The...

hi jim! trouble is that most of the original prisoners are no longer present, and with perhaps the exception of Region N, neither are most of the cages. Being that it was the work of celestials, it would be a major undertaking to fix it up. Coupled with this was the original reason that the...

Huge Air Elementals rock. The ones in the northern part of M hammered the party last night. Things were fairly boring - as I expected they would be, and after they talked themselves out of heading to the bottom of Death Canyon (after seeing a group of achaierais on patrol) the got walloped by...
