    Long periods of downtime in genre novels

    QFT! And the riftwar was a fun saga... they seemed to have quite a bit of downtime in that. Quite a long time period covered in a lot of feists stuff. Not that I recall anyone doing much exciting in it apart from Pug and Tomas.

    "Creating" Mithral and/or Deep Crystal

    You could wish a non magical item of up to 25,000 GP. Although that's a hellishly expensive way to do it? :) I'd probably allow limited wish to transmute normal metal into mithral (or deep crystal). Although anything more than 1000gp worth and I'd probably throw an additional xp cost on top of...

    DCs to become Ninja Gaiden

    Damn, that game rocked. :) I'd keep it simple - just use the climb skill. DC 20 for a rough wall. Or DC 25 for a brick wall. -10 to the DC for climbing a chimney or -5 for perpendicular walls. Depending on how the walls were laid out. Probably throw in Accelerated climbing - move at half...

    The shortbow - what is it good for?

    Rogues only get proficiency in Shortbow but not Longbow - quite often see them using that weapon? I think changing Composite longbows to be non usable on horseback works. Although rather than saying 'can't' my inclination is to lean towards a hefty penalty instead. -4 or so, perhaps? What...

    3.0 - Cleric as Holy Warrior

    In General, I'd agree with Hanniball - if you want the most bang for your level, don't take any fighter levels - you'll get more out of your spellcasting. The Cleric 7 is going to be way more impressive if given the chance to buff up. With a side benefit of having access to some useful stuff...

    spells that lost popularity in 3.0/3.5

    I've seen unseen servant get used a good few times in 3.x. Most recently to clear out a really dodgy looking treasure room that none of us wanted to set foot in. The 100lbs dragging power is really quite impressive. :) Ones that spring to mind as getting less use nowadays are: Heat Metal...

    Red Hand of Doom reloaded

    I'm going to be running this soon. As long as the PCs don't wipe themselves out on the sons of Grumsh. :) Got to say there's loads of useful stuff in here - thanks to all who added things! :) Mine will be set in the realms as well. In the nook at the western end of Impiltur, south of Damara...

    Magical gizmos an arms dealer might sell?

    The arms dealer in question would come from an organisation with access to a lot of spellcasters of varying types. Items in question would be the kind of things you'd sell to an army. Don't require a caster to use, but bring some magical effects to the battlefield. Anyone got any sources for...

    How Do You Deal With Splatbooks?

    For my next campaign: PhB, XPH and WotC Complete series. Options from Unearthed Arcana if needed. All with a caveat of 'Don't make broken characters, please'. I'll tend to look over characters and vet them. Also discuss concepts/directions with the players that are into those things...

    Munchkinizing for movement rate

    A big boost would be acessing the cheetahs Sprint ability? Not sure of the best way to go about that though... It may be a little outside the scope of the thread, but any particular reason for wanting incredible speed? Apart from the cool factor?

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    Thanks for the writeup, Mr Eccles! :) My word, this encounter was nasty. Really nasty. Mega bandits 'o doom. :eek: We totally underestimated them and they came >< close to killing the lot of us. Pulled through by the skin of our teeth. And after the smoke cleared, none of us were dead -...

    LR's Mind Flayer Campaign

    Thanks there Mr Hero. :) Doh! It's a shame - was looking forward to this one as well...

    Need help dealing with a melee character in a predominately ranged combat setting...

    Not sure if it's the case, but almost like he wants to play a jedi or something? Some method of parrying ranged fire, coupled with evasion might work. Although it could well mess with your setting too much tbh. In the right kind of scenario he could shine? Anything cramped and he should be a...

    Campaigns in the near future?

    Sound like the Forgotten Realms could fit the bill? Lots of mixed terrain and pretty generic. Possibly set things round that inland sea to the north. (who's name completely escapes me). I like the way the book lays stuff out - not too much detail, but some nice hooks for most regions. My only...

    Forgotten Realms and Red Hand of Doom - seeking some ideas!

    That's a fun idea. :) Can't quite recall her name, Lady Vall/Vaal or something like that. Know who you mean anyhow! Could possibly involve the Zhents with the Red Hand as well... perhaps supplying them with arms? Could set up for a potential springboard into something else later. Another...

    Forgotten Realms and Red Hand of Doom - seeking some ideas!

    Hi there guys! I'll start by saying this post has major Red Hand of Doom spoilers in it, so don't read if you're going to be playing that module. All gone now? :uhoh: That includes you, Mr Eccles! Right, now they're gone, I'm intending to run the Sons of Grumsh, leading into The Red...

    Campaigns in the near future?

    Mines a new campaign - going to try out The Realms. Module based - Sons of Grumsh followed by Red Hand of Doom... Likely hacked into chunks and we'll chew them down between regular doses of a long running DC heroes game someone is also GMing.

    What module are you running?

    Playing in Age of Worms. In the 3rd module now. About to start a new campaign - Sons of Grumsh followed by Red Hand of Doom. Right now, I should be applying my own personal touches to them rather than reading enworld. :)

    Which is the most macho humanoid race?

    Orc or hobgoblin. Weighing them up: Orcs are drunken sports fans, looking for a fight. Hobgoblins are evil in a suit. 1980's film villan style. The latter got my vote. :)

    Characters without Bling

    I'm playing in a core only game. It's rather refreshing - less rules to consider, more time for the important bits of the game. Although I do miss a few things that I feel 'ought' to be part of the core ruleset. Personally, I really like some of the prestige classes - ones that 'plug gaps' -...
