The Final Update (Guess what happens) After a drive about three hours, the Starbus pulled up inside the Path compound, with its double 12 foot chain-link razor-wire topped fences and squads of guards in camouflage carrying assault rifles. Besides the guards, most of the people in the camp were...

Knowing the rules. Having PC names. Not acting like total morons at least once a session. No Simese Twin Pimps in Greek Alexandria (This is more of a problem than you might think)

While the Mods here at ENworld are some of the best everywhere, I'm particulary partial to Morrus. If Mods are like Great Old Ones to the average member's 1st level investigator, than Morrus is like Azathoth, a CR 60 Horror from Beyond the Realms of Time and Space with 2,299 hp. Besides him, I...

I've always been partial to dozens of Heavy Pulse Lasers and Heat Sinks in the heaviest Mech you can find. Saw through their legs and watch them topple to the ground. Are Lasers Fire, Electricity, or fancy SciFi Energy damage, I think most Gods are immune to both Elements, but not fancy SciFi...

Lethalworld: Where heroes battle monsters with items and abilities that do 300d20 damage in a single hit and everybody has 1hp/level. Cardworld: Where heroes are pieces of expensive colored cardstock attempting to remove other pieces of colored card stock from the universal deck. Dog eat...

I know HP Lovecraft, and you sir, are no HP Lovecraft! You're better. The Elusive Mr. Teaholt is one of the scariest things I've ever read, you know how its going to end, but yet you're (un)pleasantly anyway.

202) Have the players run into obvious D&D representations of themeselves (wearing the same clothing, same mannerisms etc.). 203) Make the characters fight the players avatars in the game world. 204) When the players ask about how they got statted, give them really bad stats. ("Bob, I was...

Appraise is a class skill Gains a +2 bonus to Appraise, Craft, and Profession checks. Coins, gems, and art objects are half weight. This is not a reduction in metal content or value, but a supernatural ability to bear the weight of wealth, literally.

But on the flip side, Spellcasters will never have much AC anyway, and at high levels a +2 natural armor bonus won't matter a bit against the +34/29/24/19 Fighter, while the extra 20 hp (on average) will mean something. Also, giving one class a base +2 to AC will mean the powergaming munchkins...

I say we give them $15,000,000 and call them the official D&D movie! This is what the game is about. Larry Lorax, LOL

Decipher Script has been edited as Lily Inverse suggested. Spells level up normally as in the Core Rules. Most people can enter into the serious arcane classes at 5th, however Experts can enter at 4th. I did this to increase the power of Experts slightly, because otherwise nobody would ever...

Thank you, Frostmarrow, and for the rest of you, THIS THREAD SHALL NOT DIE! until I have at least ten responses. Even if you just want to say that it's too long, or that I have bad personal hygiene, or that I should lay off the crack pipe and proof read my ideas, that would be okay, I just need...

In RttToEE, several of my players decided that whomever was in the castle were the source of all of the evil incidents. The Elven Bard/Rogue took on a job as a servent, was assigned to scrub the steps of one of the guard/storage tower. As soon an no one is watching her, she used a grappling...

For names, I just use the index at the back of the Song and Ice and Fire books (Storm of Swords is best.) You may know who Tywin Lannister is, but who's the second stablehand at Winterfell, who's the master-at-arms at Storm's End. 1000s of great names right there in those few pages.

105) More of an annoyance than a freak, when they fight against small humanoids, make then crouch in 5' high corridors through the entire dungeon. After all, why should goblins make a 10' ceiling just to make us happy. 106) As there walking along, they hear a rustling in the bush. When they go...

Low Magic D&D The rules for a low magic, Grim ‘n Gritty, version of D&D have been kicked around quite a bit, and I decided to write them up, these area based on ideas I’ve heard other people on the boards say, and I apologize if I’ve stolen your idea. The basic premise: You cannot start out...

10) Hand each player several character sheets and d6s when they enter. 11) Roll fireball damage one dice at a time. 12) Make continual references to Jeremy and his 'Sultans of Smack'. Say that the bad guy wasn't allowed to be in Sultans of Smack because it was too powerful. 13) Have a bad...

Some crossbows had leaf springs over the bolt to hold it in place until firing, so having the bolt fall out is not such a problem. I would say that you could have a crossbow loaded and ready to fire for several hours, but if you kept it strung for days on end, I might start randomly rolling for...

Visitors Visitors The day had turned out to be a series of slowly progressing rain showers, concluding in the massive thunderstorm that currently drenched Tanar. It was only early evening, but by the darkness of the sky, it could have been night for all anybody knew. The Golden Dragon was...

Re: Re: EP IV - Something that occurred to me I believe that according to several of the source books, the Death Star had dozens of tractor beams, and if you focus a bunch of them on a target they have really long range. Star Destroyers would rather use the space for lasers and ion cannons.
