    Miss chances...

    Wondering about multiple miss chances. For example, a target is displaced and incorporeal - what happens when someone tries to hit them. If the same target is also mirror imaged what happens if someone strikes at a figment? Anyone know?

    Has anything ever broken your game?

    In 3.0 a Red Wizard of Thay, instakill focused, haste using wizard. Hyper pumped DCs on all his spells. The player can be quite crunchy at times and doesn't know when to tone it down. Was really frustrating for me and the other players. Still, it was my first 3rd ed game and I did a lot of...

    How do you like your combat?

    When DMing DnD, my preferance is for cinematic, flashy and entertaining combat. I like stuff to play like an action movie - stunts, magical FX, hacking through mook hordes, big tough 'bosses'. I love it when things feel dangerous but a single unlucky dice roll isn't really going to kill a PC...

    Strange characters

    In 3.0, one player built a minotaur fighter-sorceror, who twin weilded medium sized falchions. It was very suboptimal, but the dice loved him... He'd defy the probabilities and land strings of crits on any BBEG he got near. Very bad mechanics but fun!

    For those that drink, what's your poison of choice?

    Good call on the white russian - those things rock. Too sweet to be my only ever drink though. It's a difficult choice for me... It'd need to be something I could drink a lot of. Most likely a medium strength lager - fosters would do - can drink that until the cows come home. If I was feeling...

    Another "Have You Ever Had This Player?" Discussion

    I agree with Diaglo - definitely a conversation to have in character. Or Burn the witch?

    Well, that was an interesting evening!

    I'm dreadfully sorry, wouldn't want to diddle you out of that priceless HP of damage. :p I've got polymorph any object now - sure I can turn some rubbish into a new holy symbol for you. What does pelor use? Is it a sun with some tentacles reaching out of it? :uhoh: VOP is for wimps! Think...

    Irresistaible dance or maze?

    JoeBlank - it's done now. Had an old copy on my PC, won't be entirely correct but it's pretty close. Can find here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=143556 As for looking like a thief, it's simply clothing and having a couple of thiefy skills - escape artist, gather info and spot.

    Davion the Unwise

    Davion is unwise. For starters, he volunteered to go on some damn fool planar quest - to save the universe or some such thing. So far, it involves psycotic gith, dragons, liches, demon armies, slaadi gangsters, death knights, inquisitors, Orcus and pie. He was along more to poke around the...

    Irresistaible dance or maze?

    True, most of the BBEGs we face have reasonable int scores... which makes for some quick escapes... On the flip side, it'll banish 'beast' type opposition for the full 10 minutes. On balance I think I prefer the old way the spell was handled. I'll have to write him up for the rogues gallery...

    Well, that was an interesting evening!

    It wasn't the best situation to be in... The non spellcaster could did dish out some awesome damage once unparalysed... Unfortunately once he'd gone down, we had to fall back on alchemical junk and our cleric - with his mighty D8+1 damage. The finesse illithid and it's D4 tentacles could have...

    Well, that was an interesting evening!

    It's a perfectly reasonable request. :D The death knight wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for us... so we are ultimately responsible? I hope the demon army is here for us too - we'd get loads of XP if they sacked the city we're in at the moment. Yay! We could let them blow up the city...

    Party without arcane or healing spells...

    I had a party without any spellcasters and simply altered the way healing works: We used reserve points, that someone else mentioned - keeps them up and running during the day. Resting overnight restored all hit points and ability damage. We explained this away by having damage as the 'near...

    dragons and antimagic

    I feel the correct answer is called creatures that can fly. Hopefully they can slow up the dragon long enough for the arcane archers to fill it full of arrows. Quite what you have to pay something to toe to toe with a high powered dragon is a good question. Solars can use this too... they're...

    Irresistaible dance or maze?

    Think that pretty much decides against maze then - makes it pretty useless to me... anything big enough to warrant an 8th level single target/nonlethal spell in our game is likely to make it's save! :D That's where the AD spell has really shone... Lots of our enemies buff and it's nice to know...

    Shareware the Pirates?

    Hmmm. I think it's an interesting idea... but I agree that runs the risk of offending some paying customers. I'd go with something that doesn't mention where the user got the document from. i.e. If you have enjoyed this product and wish to make a donation please pay at Blah. It will help ensure...

    Irresistaible dance or maze?

    Shariell - that -10 ref is very nasty! Think it'd work best with some of the horrors the cleric throws - Sunbeam and it's blinding effect in particular. Thanks, Thanee! Not got the FR books, could use them if we had them and I've been meaning to pick them up... Sounds like there's quite a bit...

    Irresistaible dance or maze?

    Here they are: Or My sorceror needs better ways to ruin the oppositions day. Nice crippling spell like one of these 2 could be just the thing... On the one hand, the Dance is great because you can beat the victim viciously while they caper... but it's only living targets and you need to...

    Campaigns that 'Jump the Shark'

    That beast killed an old campaign of mine... Damned thing! Read a lot better than it played, IMO.

    Making enemies dangerous that don't have magic

    Like the others have said, maximising the half orcs advantages. Rangers can be a good class - the woodland skills can be tricksy in a natural environment. Favoured enemy of the PC race(s) gives them a healthy damage boost. Possibly allows for tamed monsters, which could be nasty. If you're...
