    Help with 17. level Wizard

    Calm down, please? Short synosis of what happened yeasterday with a little (rather a bit more than a little) background: The setting is my own world which is a traditional D&D world. The twist is that Someone has made a metaphysical twist so that the conflict Law vs Chaos is dominant (instead...

    Help with 17. level Wizard

    Thanks folks! NimrodvanHal - That trick will fit perfectly (since this fight is only a step on the way to fight the BBEG and showing him/it off might be suitable). And I can always use another tough fiend. Hextor is personally involved against the PCs and as soon as they free him from the...

    Help with 17. level Wizard

    Tonight my players (6x 18-19 level) will probably try to take out a hextor stonghold. The army is no problem, but the general should have a cohort. A 17. level evil wizard. The problem is he's disappeared (my notes on him, that is :heh: :\ ). Does anyone know where I can find a 17. level...

    How good of a DM are you?

    Normally I feel average, but after my third 'Best GM' win on convention I figure that I'm above average and only feel inadequate when I compare myself with my own GMs who are exceptionally good :D Lucky me. Håkon [edit: spelling. I never catch all the errors]

    Abusing Cleave?

    One of my players demonstrated that when the spellcasters are nice and leave it to the fighter he can kill 150+ goblins in 2 rounds on level 15. But so could the spellcasters have done. The relevant abilities were: Cleave + Great Cleave + Superior cleave from Knight Protector prestige class...

    Alright, who's got the sig virus?

    Let's just say that some of us are a bit slower than others to catch on to the joke... :uhoh: Håkon looking for the mystery faaaaaar to much :D

    D+D in your language (new words, post #23)

    Here is the norwegian (even though we often use the english word pronounced in Norwegian we have Norwegian words for most of this) Dungeon - Fangehull eller Hule Dragon - Drage Fighter - Kriger Rogue - Snik ('Tyv' is thief and back in the old days this translation was good) Cleric - Prest Evil...

    Who is from or based in Continental Europe?

    I'm Norwegian (Trondheim), but calling Norway Continental Europe is a politically hot issue here ;) Håkon

    Handing out XP: CR vs EL

    I used EL for a while, but switched back to CR the first time the PCs got past the level where they don't get any XP for lvl 1 CR. Using EL then suddenly gives them XP for something they should get nothing for (like the 200 kobolds in front of the Dragon to slow them down while it casts Divine...

    Art from Piratecat's story hour

    Maybe. What I can tell is that your drawing skills are amazing. I'm very impressed. Håkon

    Need your thoughts on prepainted miniatures.

    Everything being equal I prefere metal. Heavier minis have better stability. But I would not pay more than 50% extra for it. Håkon

    Spectator Commentary thread for Ceramic DM (Winter 2005)

    Wow! I'm so glad I'm not a judge in this contest. Both Thorod's and Mythago's stories are brilliant. First Thorod's story drew me in with a (for me) new twist on 'nature strikes back'. I somehow expected a violent ending one way or the other and was pleasantly surprised. The end was a little...

    DM's: Highest Level Campaign?

    Voted 'almost made it' but then we are still playing, and even though I can see the end of the world/campaign in the horizon I expect low epic levels before that. At least they should be there to avoid the end of the world :heh: Håkon

    What was the first monster you killed in D&D?

    I'm in. I also killed the Carrion Crawler first. IIRC there where money down there (a few copper) and that was our first loot :D Håkon

    Where (In what) do you store your dice?

    I selected 'Bag' but actually my dice are in a pig. As I turned 30 some friends remembered a stray comment from years earlier when I strongly denied being "an _old_ pig" as I was not even 30 yet, so for my 30th birthday I got all sorts of pigs (Marsipan, cuddely, 'silver' trophy, pillow and...

    Describe your homebrew in one sentence.

    My world (before the players 'fix' it): Generic D&D set geographically on Earth (Europe) where the Good vs Evil fight has been changed to a Law vs Chaos fight by unknown forces' manipulation of the world-defining artifacts. And my players are among the very few who remember "the way it should...

    Ideas for making PCs miserable needed

    I have a few traps/encounters that I have successfully frustrated my players with: Water. With Undeads. A simple section of 15 feet deep water with skelletons or zombies standing on the bottom grappeling (or stabbing with spears) anyone trying to swin past. The Famous Axe-trap. Actually an...

    New In-Game Slang Based On Your Games

    "We're Rangers dang it!" Used whenever anyone does something stupid, dangerous or both. The background is from when the two rangers in a FR game climbed down a cliff to look into a cave containing spellcasting monsters. When one of the players doubted the wisdom of dangeling at the end of a...

    Arcane Lense

    Our group is currently in posession of an "Arcane Lense", and I'm trying to figure out how much it is worth (mostly because I want to use the item in my campaign also). The Item is a lense that gives Analyze Dweomer when looked through, if you have the spell on your spellist and trigger the...

    How long have you been with your gaming group?

    10+ The current configuration playing D&D for 3 years, but I have been playing with at least one of them at any time since the early nineties, and regularly with all of them (changing campaigns) as long. OTOH the 'crawl through WotC Level-progress books' group I have only played with for a...
