I can recall a reverse sentiment from a game I played in: Just for once, could an employer actually pay us. Not turn out to be a vampire, welch, get bankrupted, abducted or flee the country. And could something we fight, just once, have gear. Of any sort.* A year or two of games like that does...

Ach - that's an annoying situation... is the player in question one of those who plays the same type of character in everything they do? I think it's something about DnD that brings out the mercenary streak. IMO - Metagame speaking - it's an artefact of tying a large degree of character power...

Maure Castle... A moments idle thought as he shakes the aftereffects of mental transport... Kelderen feels some trepidation observing the granite coridoor - what dangers lie in the ancient depths? Although more importantly, what opportunities? He pulses to the minds of the inquisition: I...

I'd strongly consider Spontaneous Healing or Spontaneous Infliction feats - think that's what they were called, from Complete Divine IIRC? - whichever you can't channel normally... IMO it fits for a cleric of wee jas to have mastery over life and death. Apologies for the sketchy detail - books...

Yikes Mr Eccles - that's a strange coincidence :) Some extra leader types sounds like a good idea. From having a browse through the modules NPCs, there's quite decent variety. However, this way I could use some of the optional extras that I'll be slotting in. Unrelated class levels sounds like...

It probably would have been a little better if we'd managed to rest... I think we could have done, but it just didn't feel right with the avatar of some horrid god running around? Frankly it was (again!) Endo's ray of enfeeblement that saved the day. Reduced it from 'uber death on a stick' down...

No kids for me, but I had a friend when I was younger called Merlin. Last I heard, he'd legally changed his name to John. :) Hooray for little baby Piratecat! - that'd have to be the winning name?

I'd make him more of a bookish sage than a typical war wizard. Make him a mostly non combatant wizard. Low concentration score, not (m)any combat spells, weak physical stats (age penalties?), no combat focused magical gear, etc. Perhaps he has sworn an oath not to use his magic on unwilling...

Kelderen glides to a halt before the mighty elder brain. He subtly exerts effort to still all movement, drinking in the scene around him. He quashes the unworthy tinge of fear the brain evokes - has he displeased it today? His mind considers his image of the world, preparing to accommodate new...

Thanks for the fixes there LR... changed the HP total. Reduced the buckler from +3 > +2 and used some leftover cash to make up the difference. Think I've changed everything rightly this time! :) Will look at the IC thread on my break...

For the fighter, I'd go - Any 30' move race, Boots of speed, any method of improving initiative/dex, improved grapple, stunning fist. At 120' starting distance, they can charge that with the boots... hope the stunning fist sticks. Then grapple + beat to death. i.e. make a pretend monk. :) My...

Some good ideas here... I'll conduct some testing and see how we get on with it... kaomera - that's just plain mean. :)

Beware his SR from the monk levels - could complicate some answers a little? Not sure if the psionics levels preclude you from taking them - and too lazy to check, but the chain of anti spellcaster feats might be nice (from Complete Arcane?). Ignoring a large number of his magical defenses...

Hehe - simple answers are usually the best ones. Exactly what I was concerned about - pumping abilities is bad news for all kinds of reasons. Will give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks!

I was considering running The Red Hand of Doom module. However, I'm likely to have 6-7 PCs. Enough extra that I feel I might need to beef up some aspects of it: Treasure will need to be increased in proportion to the number of PCs. For encounters with large numbers of creatures, I'll keep the...

It depends what you mean... In terms of number of spells available, I found it getting too much to keep track of, given the large number of splatbooks. Although this is part of a larger 'option overload' of feats, items, etc from all those books. My answer was to cut right down on the number...

/stupid 2,499,900 torches. And a flint and tinder. 833 ponies (at 30gp each). Crush your enemies under a wave of hooves. Waste the leftover 10gp on something frivilous? /stupid More seriously: How about a mount - sure you could get something quite interesting for that sort of money? Is...

Personally, I'd make it exotic with the bonus to resist disarm... feels about right to me? Get 3 minor bonuses that way - 2 damage types, bonus while mounted and the resist disarms... Either that or just straight out use the scimitar or longsword stats. Simply describe it differently.

Excellent news! Thanks boss. :) Hehe - indeed I do Mr Thramzorean! :)

The party you mention seem very reliant on their magical gear. Throw in a cleric/druid/wizard with some usable buff spells and it probably would have made a big difference?
