How many characters in your party? What sort of class composition do they have? Are you playing 3ed or 3.5? With this information, people will be able to give you some specific information. You'll be able to pick out the genereal trends on your own after a little bit. Seems like their...

Try reading Xenophon's Anabasis for some inspiration. http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext98/anbss10.txt

Round 2: Maybe nothing... Most guys I play with quickly begin readying attacks for ethereal foes. You can always wait them out. Adds to the tension too.

A few more thoughts on the blazing building. Major factors include visibility as well as structural damage and collapse. A small building is more easily sealed off, while a larger one may be more fun with a mob of people trying to escape at once. Undoubtly some poor innocent is going to get...

1. Follow party to inn or some sort of dwelling place. Preferably made of something flamable. Wait for night to come. 2. Quietly bar (or lean large weights against) the doors 3. Start the place on fire 4. Quaff Potion of Endure Fire (or put on ring of Fire Resitance: Minor) 5. Phase in and...

You have five fingers....I have a fist. -Dwarvish saying on discipline and unity Moradin, continue to send us such stupid enemies. -Classic prayer of Dwarvish war councils

Hmm...an evil druid in a city? Your recon is now complete. Time to beginning undermining this town and driving the inhabitants out. This will hopefully allow the land of the city to be reclaimed, and force the populace to adopt a more "natural" lifestyle. Take your time and don't indulge in...

Hmmm. I have a theory....it's about heroes. I can't think of any of the Enterprise crew that really inspires me.

The most excellent rock hammer of bold Edgar! Item C14: The most excellent rock hammer of bold Edgar! A gnomish artifact of ancient times, this hammer was forged by the rock gnome Edgar himself, renowned smith who learned his trade apprenticed to the mysterious being known only as "The...

DM: The King brings the blade down on the traitorous Wormtongue' s neck... PC1: I grapple him to stop his swing! DM: Ok.... PC2&3: WHAT???? PC3: Dude, you know if we let him live he's just going to give us more grief. PC1: Exactly. And then who will get the XP for killing him? PC2: We will...

First off, make your feelings on this matter clear to your players. Do it respectfully. I'm a big rules guy myself; heck I enjoy reading them in the off time. Some of my fellow players don't...they just want to show up and play instead of spending out of game time learning a complex set of...

A sickened or wounded boar (something to reduce it to lower stats) would be just the trick...nasty, and depending on how it was wounded would definately make the party afraid. Picture a boar with a hideous growth that pulsates covering it (for that necromatic fun feel) or one with partially...

One of the items up for sale is a magical gem. It's powerful, but odd...no detection magic, not even Analyze Dweomer has been able to puzzle out what it is. For a picture, go to http://www.geo.mtu.edu/museum/Gallery/Dibble/fluoriteBrazilmed.jpg The only obvious sign of magic is the...

One of the goofy things about Demons is the small list of standard forms they take. I'd recommend taking some of your favorite monsters from the good ol' Monster Manual and "demonize" them. For example, the Roper becomess a cool six armed whip wielding madman. The citadel is small...looks big...

"You want to avenge your mate. I understand that. But let's not be foolish...you don't stand a prayer of defeating me. And after I killed you, I'd devour every one of those stupid villagers you and your ally were so fond of. Do the smart thing, Silver. Walk away from this. You'll...

As CRGreathouse said the feat specifies 5 ft. As for the assumption of reach....if you want to play in a world where critters with reach can whirlwind at distances up to 25 feet, go for it. Many, including myself, would consider that a little strong for any feat chain.

If I recall correctly, you're holding your breath to avoid the effects of the spell, correct? This would see to rule out casting speels wit a verbal component. Pretty nasty w/ no save.

5 Druid/9 shifter can take on the form of a planetar. 10 regen (errated to fast healing?), killer AC, spell resistance 30. All of those are extraordinary abilities, which are obtaind by wild shape. I'd like to twirl in circles like a chicken with its head cut off screaming...

Consider our good simple friend silence. With a will save and being only 2nd level, it really isn't optimal to cast on enemy casters. It is great to cast on the people meeling with an enemy caster. Especially if they have reach. ESPECIALLY if they are grappling said caster. Like, say, a...

Have to go with the classics: Factory (operational or not), warehouse district, junkyard, docks, airport, train station, subway tunnels, library, and museum. It is also effective to string locations or sublocations together. Having the airport fight start out near the baggage claim and end up...
