Thanks! Does it matter what swarm type it is? What about the undead body part swarm? I thought it would be neat to have the ghoul fall into a bunch of body parts (and according to the template you get a huge disguise check to be able to distinguish the swarm form from a normal 'swarm') that...

The funny thing about scaring people when you're sitting around a table eating cheetos is that you have to have respect for the guy describing the story. If you believe he is incompetent and can't figure out the rules then it doesn't matter what's "likely" or not because in the end it's just...

But you will identify it. Whatever level os suspense you are trying to create will be diminished significantly if your players do not trust that you're running the game fairly. The rules say (which they don't but for the sake of argument let's assume they did) that you cannot sunder a +2...

How is their initiative score important? You declare on your init. They could be holding their action, but that doesn't mean you can't declare the mechanics of what you're doing. They will when you describe it to them and ask them for a roll. Unless you are going to roll for them, which...

Lame. How do you determine the APL for XP purposes if such a creature assists the party? Guess you can wing it (the system is just an approximation anyway) but there's no reason why they couldn't add an LA. Any suggestions for the swarm shifter template?

It's called "We kill it and identify its stuff." Well if they are going to try to fight the thing they will figure out its mechanics at some point. If it's BS they will call you on it later. (How did it only have 44 hp but I couldn't turn it?) They're going to figure it out at some point...

It doesn't sound like an original idea. Sundering weapons is pretty basic stuff. Let's say you have a few zombies blocking the path on a spiraling staircase. A player wants to jump onto the banister to run past the mooks, run a little more until he's next to the necromancer boss, jump into...

What is the ECL of a 2nd level swarm shifter wild elven ghoul ranger? I'm thinking it's 7, but I'm not sure. Does the swarm shifter template (Libris Mortis) increase the LA? And do you apply anything from the base race to the final character? The racial description from Libris Mortis...

It all depends on the group and what we're playing. I'm in several games now and we're doing all of the above.

Did it take place in the module "Expedition to the Aisle of Novelty Grills"? :)

OK, so yesterday I'm running an RPGA game. I provided fastplay characters, and the only thing the players have to do is come up with names (and preferably backstories, but names are required). I ask the first player to come up with a name. He looks at a water bottle in his hand and he comes...

I have finished Age of Worms from 1st to 20th. I am still running Savage Tide (at 12th level right now) and I'm playing in Shackled City (just hit 6th). My players are 2nd level in Burning Sky. They think it's the best campaign so far, but that could also be due to the format (online with...

Love the WAR art. However, you can't show a picture like that to players and then not follow up with natural bite attacks. And then I know I'll have players who will be inspired by these creatures and want to play one at some point. So if I just add a bite attack to a goblin do you think this...

As a loyal ready (and current subscriber) for many, many years, I fully support the expansion of KotDT. The issues with DCC's are a special treat for me, and I love 'bait and tackle'. The article on uses for Unseen Servants was really cool too. I would love to see more D&D stuff in KotDT...

You might be able to get a copy of it on ebay if you search around. They published it for the retailer kits, I think. If not you can ask around at a convention or check with some of the DMs who sanctioned the game to see if they have a copy.

No, but it should have been (IMO). It's RPGA electronic goodness. WotC has done a horrible job of promoting the many, many adventures available through the RPGA. Any "digital initiative" they start would have a great foundation if they tap into the RGPA's resources of adventure authors and...

I just don't understand why self-proclaimed "fans" of Greyhawk would have no love for Living Greyhawk. It produces more lore and material, both new and incorporating all new WotC material into the setting, than the works of Dragon, Dungeon, and possibly WotC for not just Greyhawk, but Forgotten...

Well as my wife can attest to, I sure as hell tried to buy as much as you offered. Sorry it didn't work out.

Hey I'm not complaining. I bought most of my stuff in the past year from you guys, even though I have several FLGS's nearby. You have stuff I would have to special order from my FLGS, but I would rather just order it myself. Which comes back to my original question. I did not see you as a...

Yeah, not to bash Paizo personally or anything, but the owner of one of our FLGS (the oldest in town, which just closed down last December) hated them for their online store. He thought it was a slap in the face for Dragon and Dungeon magazines to be connected with Paizo. Especially when they...
