    Leadersihp and Thrallherder

    CURSES!!! I'm usually very good about reading things like that. My apologies.:angel: All the same, I still feel what I've said before that point stands: the thralls and believers act just as cohorts and followers except in how they come around to the Thrallherd (and other notations). If you give...

    Leadersihp and Thrallherder

    Again I turn to the DMG and point to p.105 where in it says followers are similar to Cohorts, but don't demand a share of treasure. However, they depend on the PC they follow to equip them and keep them fed. I've sadly glossed over this ruling, though I've done as such as a means to quickly get...

    History question: first appearance of 'Well of Many Worlds' ?

    I too have investment with research on the Well of Many Worlds. I even went as far to buy the Planescape supplement Well of Worlds to see if it had any details on the matter...it didn't. Thus far, the only adventure/source I'm aware of that uses the Well of Many Worlds is the Worm That Walks...

    Monk Help! Naturak attacks and improved unarmed strike...

    *head desk* this is a realm of complicated I've yet to even delve into, because I roll enough dice as it stands with all my NPCs, and don't need another means to slow the game down further. Shame, considering this really has dangerous potential despite the drawback being mentioned thus far (even...

    Leadersihp and Thrallherder

    Oh Thrallherd, you silly Psionic class. Far as I can see, there's no way a PC can have Leadership and this class feature, because it's stated as such in the text of the class. Still, he can get two Cohorts instead of one, and you can't even do that with Thaumaturgist. Nice. The term Fanatic...

    Rules/Rolls for Running a Shop

    Update on the situation after responses... The 1 XP = 5 GP equation comes from the Good and Services section of spellcasting. As an example, having someone cast Greater Restoration for you would cost 3410 GP minimum (910 for the Spell Lvl * CL, and 2500 for the 500 XP cost). And I've noticed...

    Rules/Rolls for Running a Shop

    1. Short answer, no. Long answer, it has been pointed out constantly we are far below the average PC wealth as defined by the DMG for 7th/8th Level PCs. Not only that, but the most expensive items we ever got were a pair of swords, one +1 Frost the other Flaming. We had it shipped back to the...

    D&D 3.x Help Starting 3.5 Characters at Level 9 for Tomb of Horrors

    True, if the number of energy-draining attacks, death effects, and negative energy effects was reduced from 12 all the way to 1. But again, I don't really see the breaking of the dungeon, even if every PC was prepped as such. I've yet to touch any D&D system other than 3.5, so while I'm...

    economy of dnd

    I think this (and other writings within) is something to be considered in the process of creating your own shop and selling goods, as I am trying to do in another game. I don't think it requires being as hardcore, but it's something to consider alright. Hmmm...

    D&D 3.x Help Starting 3.5 Characters at Level 9 for Tomb of Horrors

    Your quip would have some merit if it would even be possible for the Scarab of Protection to be in the above mentioned game. It's priced at 38000 GP, well above the 25% limit on GP valued items for a PC to have at that point. All the same it's a nice item, and I would not be against a PC having...

    Rules/Rolls for Running a Shop

    To note, the topic starter was actually referring to items he was making, and selling those at half price to a merchant would lose him money. You can refer to the Crafting and Magic Item creation pages for reference, but a quick summary to explain... To make a simple Longsword, I need to put in...

    D&D 3.x Help Starting 3.5 Characters at Level 9 for Tomb of Horrors

    From my recollection of reading the adventure, it's pretty standalone for what challenge it gives you, and no matter what item you could buy with the GP you get as a 9th Lvl PC (even if you do away with the 25% rule)...you're still going to face a lot of trouble. There are still wondrous items...

    Leadership Feat

    One of my PCs is doing just this. He's Lvl 14 Rouge, has a Lvl 12 Sorcerer who has a Lvl 8/9 Cleric. It's been a fun experience all around as far as I can see, and it also serves as a means to let the PCs play more than one character type over time. On management, the DMG has suggestions on how...

    Rules/Rolls for Running a Shop

    Finally found another thread that speaks my mind on this, though it's in another forum (not that it's a bad thing, but as it goes). The topic starter really go to me, because he got it right: if you sell an item you crafted to a merchant, you actually lose money/XP. Sadly, there wasn't much else...

    Free Adventure Path

    I've yet to use any of these adventures, but I'm planning on such for a one shot day long gaming session later on this month. Should be interesting on what is created. Also considered throwing some of these at a new DM as a means to train them on how games work, and running some myself. Kinda...

    D&D 3.x Last minute one-time 3.5 game, Thursday night. Help?

    It's my belief that all custom games have the potential to be turned into an adventure for all to play. More over, there's a hook to discover who created the magic illusion, and perhaps the PCs may want such power for themselves. Do it. :cool:

    Called or returning property on a falchion?

    Then make the weapon a Throwing weapon to create a loophole. :D Truth be told, you're actually looking for a replica of Wulfgar's hammer, otherwise known as Aegis-fang. The wiki article linked has stats for it, though this one has different ones, along with a means to craft it yourself. Nice...

    D&D 3.x Last minute one-time 3.5 game, Thursday night. Help?

    I was supposed to play a game called A Knight at Cromwell Mansion this past Thursday, and that would have been a 2 hour game. I would like you to play it and tell me how it went, because I don't think I'll be getting a chance any time soon. :D Okay, in seriousness though, I found a good cache...

    Rules/Rolls for Running a Shop

    Back from the session. Nothing happened, and the DM said he wanted to put the shop on hold for the now, even though we can't continue the game until it's settled. Hopefully something is figured in the meantime. Alright, to responses... What I'm curious on figuring out is a little different than...

    Rules/Rolls for Running a Shop

    The question of when equipment/magic items sell has come round, and the suggestion I gave was every week a d10 would be rolled for each item. Should a 1 or 2 be rolled (10% - 20% chance), it sells. The only issue I really heard from the DM on that is he doesn't want to deal with any of the...
