    Defending a ship

    Ok folks, just to let you know my Theocracy isn't toatally retarded... the first ship they took out belonged to a bunch of orcish pirates. It was the first naval battle I ever ran, so I didn't mind. Last session they ran into the Theocratic Man O War blockading a narrow strait they needed to...

    Defending a ship

    Thanks for the input guys, this is helpful. I've only lost two ships so far, but one of them was a Theocratic Man O' War... the party surprsied me by attacking it and I had to throw something together on the fly. I want to be prepared in case they do something like this again. The party...

    Defending a ship

    My party has taken to the high seas and they're making mincemeat of the enemy ships they're encountering. I could, of course, have all the enemy ships that ply the sealanes be crewed by 10th level wizards and have a cohorot of undead sharks to protect them from underwater attacks, but I'm trying...

    My player is breaking my world [long]

    ok... I've got a player... been playing for 20 years.. a bright guy. Too bright. He's got ideas for the use of spells that would turn my game world into something I'd hardly recognize. He's outlined his ideas as a letter from his character to his 'superiors'. Background: The player is an elf...

    Need help with raw materials for trade.

    How does trading gold even work? I understand explorers in our own world going off to South America and basically stealing gold from the natives. But how do you 'trade' gold and jewels? Aren't the only people likely to make money off precious stones and metals the owners of the mines?

    Need help with raw materials for trade.

    My players just got ahold of a merchant ship, and rather than use it simply as transport to the next dungeon as I expected, they've decided to get into the merchant business. They want to purchase surplus items in one port and sell them in another where there is a demand for a higher price. Fine...

    Count of Monte Cristo PrC

    One of my players is trying to make a Prestige Class based on the fencing styles he saw in that new Count of Monte Cristo movie. He specifically stated he wats the ability to disarm his opponent and snatch their weapon from the air, as is done in the movie several times. I could've sworn I'd...

    Do undead heal naturally?

    I know they are healed by necromantic effects like cause light wounds... but what about if you just leave them alone? Can they heal by themselves, naturally?

    How do you differentiate Gnomes from Dwarves and Halflings?

    I was in the same position when I started my latest campaign... what to do with Gnomes. I reread the descriptions of the three short races several times and realized how 3E had altered them. Halflings are much more Kender like now, full of wanderlust, ever eager to be on the move. Gnomes on the...

    d20 Aliens: any conversions out there?

    I was planning on using the stats for Xills as a genestealer/Aliens stand in. Turn the hand weapons into claw attacks, ditch the character class advancement, maybe give them spiderclimb.

    Critique new feat: Sharpshooter

    One of my players wanted to create a Prestige Class: Sharpshooter. I thought that was too generic and could be done with a combination of multiclassing and the correct feats. To giv it a little punch I creted this new feat. What do you think? Unbalanced? New Feat: Sharpshooter Prerequisites...

    Increasing range of missile sneak attack unbalancing?

    I have gunpowder in my campaign and one of my players wants to create a Sharpshooter PrC. I was thinking of having the range that his sneak attack damage would apply be increased every few levels (say 60 ft at 2nd level, 90 ft at 5th level, and 120 ft at 8th level) while he is using his musket...

    Ideas for adventuring in a temple of Good?

    My party is going to be exploring a long lost temple to a good god to pick up a few clues to the plot they're involved in. I don't want this to be a simple "walk through the temple and look at the frescoes", but I'm getting stumped for ideas. I can't really throw monsters at them, as they'd be...
