    More house rules for heal checks

    Hrm. Good point. I had sorta gone with the 1d4+1 so you wouldn't ever end up just rolling a 1, but that's a pretty minor consideration. I think I will change it to d6s. Can you show how you're getting that? Does that only include someone with the first feat? I'm getting higher numbers...

    More house rules for heal checks

    Thanks. I was sorta going for the "healing kit charges" thing by saying a 50GP healing kit has 10 charges, and most simple things require 5GP of materials. You're right though...instead of listing GP values, it would make more sense to say it "requires 1 charge from a Healer's Kit", or...

    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil Run Time?

    It took us about 2 years to get through, meeting for 4 hours once/week. We did a couple of semi-related side-adventures when things got boring. I really, really enjoyed running this module. It's the first thing I ever really DM'ed, and we're continuing the campaign right now. I heavily...

    More house rules for heal checks

    My campaign world has very, very few divine casters. I'm trying to work out a way to deal with healing, and this is what I've come up with: three feats that let you use the Heal skill in new ways. I'd love to hear your feedback! Medic [General] Prerequisites: Heal 1 rank Benefit You are able...

    Is casting a spell with the Evil descriptor an Evil act?

    Interesting. I thought this was RAW. But I can see why it's not. If a druid summons a Pixie to help slaughter all the children in an orphanage, I hardly think he's committing a good act. Nareau

    White Wolf's secret Project involves Monte?

    Honestly, I'd rather see D&D re-written with the WoD system than the other way around. Nareau

    Spell Turning and multiple targets

    I think I would give him a 7/9ths (78%) chance to be affected by two Weird spells. So in theory, he could have many, many instances of his own spell reflected upon himself. That's...well...weird. :) Sounds like Mass Heal (against his foes) might be a great way for high-level clerics to open a...

    Spell Turning and multiple targets

    Let's say I've got Spell Turning cast on me, and it's good for 7 spell levels. Let's say a 17th level wizard casts Magic Missile. He sends one missile streaming towards me, and the other four at my buddy Greg. 1) What happens? 2) What if we all have Spell Turning up, and he shoots a...

    XP upgrade printer woes

    The first thing I would do: 1) Check the printer and make sure it can't run on USB. If it can, forget about the parallel port and go buy a USB cable. 2) Check the Device Manager in XP. Make sure your printer port shows up and appears to be working correctly. Right-click on it, select...

    Transfer Dweomer

    Thanks! This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Well, I introduced my version to the PC's last night and they clearly liked it (using it to finally give the front-line fighters level-appropriate enchantments to their melee weapons). Were I suggesting this as something to be used...

    Price check, register four! (Items that grant feats)

    I've introduced an item into my campaign that grants the Spell Focus: Evocation and Improved Spell Focus: Evocation feat to its owner. It must be held in the hand to function. Are there rules in the DMG for how to price items that grant feats? Is there a similar item in another source? I'm...

    Make up some funny quotes!

    Sorcerer: Let's just burn the evil town to the ground. Paladin: No, we must cleanse this area! Sorcerer: <shrug> Fire cleanses. "It wasn't until Frank jumped in that I started to think it might be a Sphere of Annihilation, not a portal to another plane." Nareau

    Transfer Dweomer

    Part of my desire here is to reduce the time constraint for creating magical items. I'm the DM in this campaign, and it's working out to be difficult to give the PC's enough downtime to make everything they want. The campaign world does not allow for "magic item shops" either. I think the...

    Transfer Dweomer

    I'm thinking of introducing this spell to my campaign. What do you think? Has this effect been printed in a sourcebook somewhere? Transfer Dweomer Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 8 hours Range: Touch Targets: Two Items Duration: Instantaneous Saving...

    Magical Baubles, Trinkets & Toys in your games?

    Joman's Darts: Joman was a halfling merchant, and an expert at darts. After his untimely death, it was discovered that it was his darts, not him, who couldn't miss. Each of these three darts will fly unerringly to its nonliving, unattended target within range. They've been used once or twice...

    Can I summon a horde of shamblers?

    As the DM here, I have a few thoughts: 1) The spell, IME, needs to be changed in a fundamental way. The aforementioned 17th level druid is nothing compared to the 20th level druid, who could easily have a few thousand of these guardians. 2) One possible change would be to add a Material...

    Ressurecting gods - prophecies

    Funny, this is almost exactly the campaign I'm running! :) So far, the party has resurrected 2 of the 7 gods. Technically, the gods weren't killed so much as bound to special artifact blades, but who's counting? Eshu, the god of paths, doorways, choices, free will, possibilities, etc. was...

    What would it take to change my username?

    Spider has been my alias on the Net for a long time, but I've been posting as Nareau in various places for the past few years. What would I have to do to get the mods to change my login here? Spider/Nareau
