    Cloakers and Hide

    My experience with cloakers (more than a half dozen encounters) is that they are wasted as cloaks. Even more so inside. They fly. They need open space. They mirror image. They silent image. Their greatest attacks are all ranged attacks. Do what I do: More than one cloaker. Have them 'spell up'...

    Should girls be allowed to play fighter characters

    No, that is not true. Talk to the GM. Tell the GM that girls can do all sorts of things that guys can do. That there should be no limits because of gender. (A D & D notwithstanding.) Oh, and if he tries the: 'guys are stronger, so they get a bonus to STR (or a female PC has to take a minus)...

    D&D Urban Legends: I new this guy who...

    Net every GM is mature enough to 'let the dice fall where they may.' Also, I understand he's always been like that. A buddy had a party with one member a munchkin, did like a thousand points a damage a round with one ability. When asked how to satisfactorily solve this balance problem, Gygax...

    As DM, ever TRIED a T.P.K. -- and FAILED?

    You will also notice that we do not have people posting: My (cousin, brother, friend, friend of a friend, guy I know, guy I know of) died from walking through a window. Glass is dangerous. So are swords. D6 can kill a peasent. And that's enough damage for a window. And don't forget inertia...

    Werewolf Lord Tactics

    Sunder. Break those weapons that hit your DR. Disarm. Then let a wating wolf grab it and run away. Then run away, heal, do it again. Good hunting. More later, Vahktang

    Sarcophagus of Resurresction?

    As long as our heroes have to supply the material component of the spell and it is stationary, it shouldn't be a problem. As an added bonus, a turn/contol undead use for the level of the one being raised must be done. Failure of the roll means loss of the material component. At least that's how...

    5 ton monster sitting on top of PC. Doable? Legal? Fair?

    So, the big bad guy is a huge plant that weighs multiple tons. During combat, it grabs a PC. Next round, it puts it underneath it and sits on the PC. I imagine a grapple roll for this action, too. So, now the PC is under a huge creature. Creature obviously looses it's DEX bonus, 'cause it can't...

    My players want to make and sell Magic Items. What Percentage should I use?

    They have a house and are staying there for probably 3 months. Time is not a problem. For the wizards and the sorcerers there are colleges. People wanting magic items go to the colleges and the item to be made is assigned by who wants to make items. After they make an item, they go to the...

    My players want to make and sell Magic Items. What Percentage should I use?

    Our heroes have some cash, are in a big city, winter is coming and they don't like the cold and the wet. So, they decided to settle in until spring. In the meantime, they want some cash and aren't afraid to spend XP's to get it. So, any suggestions on what chance that someone comes up and asks...

    Bite Attack

    And remember, this is not a CR 6 monster like the manual says. This can be a TPK, unless they play smart. More later, Vahktang

    Too good to be coincidence?

    Yes it is. If I'm not mistaken, flight and invisible last minutes now a days (3.5) So, the Nilbog will have to know their plans even farther ahead of time to be in place. My idea: It's not a nilbog. It's a demonic type disguised as a nilbog. Heck, an ogre magi can fly and become invisible...

    Help me defend an Elvish emperor

    First choice, is, of course, Contingency. Lose enough real points, or a characteristic point, go away. Heavy SR on the guy, though items. High level body guards to give protection/take a bullet. Don't forget the rule of Law: No spell components nearby No magic weapons nearby No heavy magic...

    Using [and abusing] puns...

    I like pun names. Easy to remember, shows off the personality of the characters. One of my favorites was a mobster named: Johnny 'Johnny Avacado' Avacado. And even though the name was funny, the PC's grew to fear him. More later, Vahktang

    How did you end your campaign?

    Well, yes, because he violated rule #1. Had one campaign end when my dwarven wizard touched this big metal magic skull and the party got turned into Bodaks. (Hey, it was 3' across and made of adamantite!) Another when the GM left to start his own gaming store. But that was more of a 'peter...

    Sneak Attack Damaging a Barbarian...

    It saves the barbarian from postional sneak attacks and flanking. She can still be fooled by a quick blade and a twist of the wrist. No, the barbarian can still be caught by improved feint and sneak attacked. But remember, it's not just sense motive to the check. More later, Vahktang

    101 Ancient Cultures fit for a Campaign...

    Had a great opening for a new party. They wake up aboard ship a victim of a press gang. They form a party for self protection. When they get where they are going, it is the finale of a sacking of an ancient asian sea port. Our heroes now jump ship and go inland. Where there are mysteries and...

    I need some help on a plot for an adventure

    --- Your english seems fine. Your story sounds fine. How much magic is in the world? None of the PC's are spell casters. That makes things interesting. How about monsters? Are there dragon turtles in the water, owl bears in the forest, etc? Sounds fine. You could use some more PC's though...

    Arcane Sight: See in the dark?

    I think you can find the location of an invisible person, but that person still has 100% concealment. You know the square, but cannot pinpoint. 50% miss chance. No magic missles. More later, Vahktang
