Does an arcane caster with an animated shield still incur spell failure percentage? Since the wording of the item doesn't say otherwise, I assume that the answer is yes, but it's hard to see why, considering that no hands are necessary to hold the shield. So it doesn't seem like it should be...

Thanks for the "cholera epidemic" idea to delay the Games. That might work... As I'm reading ahead about the Games, they seem a little strange. Can anyone explain to me why the games have no limit on party size? Some of the NPC parties only have 2 members! That seems pretty stupid to me...

I realize that that's what I was supposed to do. But I wanted there to be a bit more reality than that to my world. I wanted the Champions' Games to take place at a particular time every year. When I originally set the date (and revealed that date to my players), I had no reason to believe...

SPOILER ALERT: DON'T READ THIS THREAD IF YOU ARE A PLAYER IN AN AGE OF WORMS CAMPAIGN. Hello all. Here's my situation. I'm running the Age of Worms in the Greyhawk campaign setting. In order to add an extra measure of realism, I've been using the Greyhawk calendar. And, when the PCs met...

SPOILER ALERT: DON'T READ THIS POST IF YOU ARE A PLAYER IN AN AGE OF WORMS CAMPAIGN. Recently, I ran the Hall of Harsh Reflections. During the raid of the Doppelganger lair, my players cast Detect Magic in an attempt to determine who was real and who was a doppelganger. According to...

True, it is not a spell. But the description of the granted power does specify that the Death Touch "uses the rules for touch spells". So why do you think the "holding a charge" rules do not apply? Please explain.

(The category for this thread should be Granted Powers rather than Spells, but Spells was the closest I could get.) I have multiple questions about how the Death Touch granted power from the cleric's Death domain is supposed to work. 1. Does activating Death Touch require verbal or somatic...

How do you pronounce the word "Sahuagin"? I've been saying it in my head for years and years. Finally, for the first time, I had to say it out loud last week in front of my friends. Here's how I say it: Saw - hwah - GGIN (The emphasis is on the last syllable and the 'g' is hard, as in...

I buy gorgeous books. Sorry, but I have a definite weakness for gorgeously illustrated and layed-out role-playing books. I'm not sure if this is the example Psion is referring to, but I really, really want to buy Tome of Magic, even though I think its content will see absolutely no use in my...

Kotor2 It's possible that you also might be thinking of the computer game Knights of the Old Republic 2 (which is loosely based on the d20 system). In that game, there were feats you could select that would make any single non-class skill a class skill thenceforth.

I agree. That was your only mistake.

Me three. 2WS is worth getting. I haven't used the setting, but I've found the crunch analysis to be very informative and well-written.

Same here/me three. Actually, I've had a tougher time with "baatezu". The first DM I ever heard say the word tried to pronounce both A's separately. He pronounced it "bay-AH-teh-ZOO". I now realize that this makes very little phonetic sense (since the two A's together are probably just an...

QFT! It sure felt good watching the Buckeyes give Texas a taste of sweet revenge last night! :D

I just started reading the Third Book of Swords by Fred Saberhagen after finishing the first two. I've never read the Swords books before. So far, I'm not as impressed as I wanted to be. But I continue hoping that it'll get better.

The description of your collector-guy also reminded me a little of Lyzandred from the 2nd edition trilogy produced by TSR circa 1998. (Star Cairns, Lyzandred the Mad, Doomgrinder) If I remember correctly, he was a lich living on a demiplane who felt it was his duty to protect humanity from...

QFT. If you want your players to not say anything other than what their character says, then you might as well be role-playing via computer. Why bother sitting around the same table if you can't work together? This is like a teacher sitting a group of teenagers around the same table to take...

I think the wording of this poll my throw off responses a bit. (After all, how many people are interested in "every" PDF release?) I almost selected the second option until I realized that my response would help determine whether ENWorld keeps the PDF release section. Then I voted for the...

I take it you have not seen the Eberron campaign setting. (?) In any case, that seems to be exactly what you're looking for. The Eberron setting answers your questions as follows. 1. Yes, a setting can have non-interventionist gods. (In Eberron there is no proof that gods exist at all. If...

If I'm the player and the group is still in the middle of combat (and not likely to finish significantly before the end of the session), I would probably go home. With a pregnant wife at home, I can't justify sitting around twiddling your thumbs and cheering on my fellow players. If I'm...
