I don't know. I think this is a difficult question. You are clearly right that someone who has 0 hp can only take partial actions. But still, the attack of opportunity that was taken by the bad guys was earned precisely because the spellcaster was moving! (If she hadn't moved there would...

Huh! I'm surprised this is much of an issue. In all the 3.x games I've played, it's the *players* who are clammoring for rest, not the DM insisting on it. Usually the players enter the dungeon/encounter area, find the bad guys, and fight all in a relatively short amount of gametime. If the...

I always buy at least two full sets at Origins each year. And sometimes I will buy a product that comes with a set of dice (like the Starter boxset and the Player's Kit boxset).

Recently I made a trip to the Reviews section to start writing reviews of the Age of Worms adventures from Dungeon magazine that I have GMed so far. I quickly realized that those adventures are not considered "products" as far as the d20 Reviews website is concerned. So it is impossible to...

But doesn't that seem unfair to evil clerics? If you put a good cleric and an evil cleric side by side who are exactly equal to each other in every respect except for alignment, the good one can destroy as many hit dice as he can roll, but the evil one can command only as many hit dice as he...

OK, duh. Now that I think about it, I guess it makes sense that most evil clerics don't get their undead minions by rebuking; they get them by casting Animate Dead. So that pretty much answers the first question. But how about the second one? What happens to the extra hit dice of undead who...

Recently I was looking at the rules for evil clerics who command undead, and I was surprised to read that they can only command up to their level in total Hit Dice of undead! Doesn't that blow half of the low level modules you've ever seen out of the water? How many low-level modules are there...

I was looking for the answers to *exactly* these questions. (Thanks for asking them, drnuncheon, and thanks for responding, Magus_Jerel.) However, I wasn't clear how "official" the responder's answers were. (Is this just the way Magus_Jerel plays it, or is there an FAQ statement that answers...

Thanks James, I forgot about the fact that the party has a wand of Shatter. Thanks to others as well, who suggested (basically the same thing I did) that I should not use the Wind Warriors' Fly ability to its fullest extent. Nightfall, if you don't have anything useful to contribute, why...

I am running the Whispering Cairn, and my players are about to face the final encounter in the dungeon - the 2 Wind Warriors. Here's the problem I'm having: I think this encounter is woefully unbalanced for a party of 3rd level characters. The Wind Warriors can fly, they have a reasonably high...

IIRC, "followers" have to have NPC classes (warrior, commoner, or expert). Only cohorts can have PC classes. So you can't have a group of 1st level wizard followers.

I'm no power-gamer by any means, so I am willing to be shouted down. But in my humble experience, I've found bow-users are of the greatest utility at low levels and become significantly weaker in comparison to the rest of the party starting around level 7. I've learned to just avoid making...

Where can I find this feat? (In what product was it published?)

Oops! My group has been screwing this up for a long time now. (It's amazing how you can play this game for ages and continue learning about new rules that you never knew existed.)

I really have great respect for people who use the internet to share what they have to offer with others. I don't really have anything against people who want to use the internet to make a living. Everyone needs to make a living somehow. But I find it spiritually refreshing when I find those...

This made me laugh. But, humor aside, the point is a good one...

They'd revoke my D&D gamer's license if they knew... ...that (most of the time) I prefer roll-playing to role-playing. ...that I have an irrational distaste for everything "Forgotten Realms" and "Dragonlance".

Does anyone have any input on this one? <bump>

Mr. (and Ms.) "My character flaws are actually in-game benefits" Ok, I've got to vent about what my players did last week. My game leans more towards combat than intensive role-playing. But I try to keep up some semblance of playing a character by asking my players a question about their...

I don't know if it is a "mistake" or what, but the map of the Dark Cathedral has got me confused. The description of the room says, "A stairway carved into the curved wall around the pool ascends to a platform thirty feet above the pool." However, the map shows a curved staircase leading to...
