    RANDOM ADVENTURE IDEAS-- Help us pick a winner!

    I have to agree here mostly. The Lost Ruins of Dread gets a honourable mention from me; I voted for the Feast of the Ebon City -- but was that because it was the first entry in the contest and therefore stuck in my mind the most? Either way, they would probably BOTH be in my list of dungeons...

    Breath Weapon AoE: Line

    Is a Line -Area-of-Effect breath weapon only restricted to just affecting those few victims who happen to be in that 5' wide line of squares? Isn't it more likely (or even possible) for a black dragon to "wave" his head around during a breath attack, splashing his acid breath all over the place?

    5-foot step and Huge Monsters

    In fully generic terms: A PC with BAB +7/+2 can make two attacks in one round if his only move is a 5' step. If he moves 10' or greater, he can only make one attack. What about a Huge size monster? Is a Huge creature (Space/Reach is 15/10) also limited to a 5' step in order to make a full...

    Quick Cover Question

    Pardon my shorthand ignorance, but what is T/F? Anyway. Both 1 and 2 are correct. And they do not contradict. 4 is correct. 5: the -4 penalty for firing "into melee" does not apply from Green to Yellow. Firing into melee means shooting at 1 of two OTHER combatants engaged with each other...

    Compare oWoD w/ nWoD

    Personally I am horrified by the loss of generation and the origin & history of the Kindred. That was the very essence of VtM in MHO.

    Vampires: Alternate form and energy drain?

    The way I read those rules, Batpires and Wolfpires could NOT have an energy drain effect with their natural attack. "Any other natural weapon the vampire might possess" refers to the fact that the vampire is a template that can be overlaid on any other creature. Therefore if the vampire's...

    OotS #462

    What makes you think this is a "resolution"? No the PC's haven't "resolved" the action -- YET. And neither did Miko. This is not a story resolution by any stretch. This is called a complication. If you are thinking about this in literative story terms, this is a "plot point". Nothing to...

    Need a farewell gift for my gaming group

    Depending on the age of the rest of your group? Why not a group dinner at the Keg or the local pub?

    Fighting a colossus -- from 'cool' to 'holy f***ing s*** that was AWESOME!" - how to?

    I also agree that the colossus wouldn't have the capacity to make AoO's. But I would rule that it has MASSIVE reach, and that its attacks might be a sweeping blow that affects everyone in a given Area of Effect. Given the assumption (above) that its Attack Bonus and damage would be hideous, I...

    Rope Trick

    I agree, I think the extradimensional window is anchored in the space, and is not relative to the motion of the ground or deck below it. You could extend the logic to say that if a character is flying on a great winged mount, and happens to use the Rope Trick, would the character expect to...

    what kind of DM are you: rule interpretation

    Though I am myself a literalist in the sense of, "why else have them"... but so far I have found it impossible to believe that words and phrases were all chosen with specificity in the WotC world. The RAW are so poorly written it requires an advanced degree in linguistics and semiotics just to...

    Yoink This Thread!

    Would someone please post [again] the thread where we discussed the worst AD&D module writing ever (you see a band of travelers; they are neither hurrying nor tarrying. They are not carrying visible weapons...) and went on to post "our own" bad module writing (about nymphs at the side of the...

    Spring Attack Confusion

    I agree with this interpretation -- you are stopping your movement in order to attack, then you move again, up to the limit of your Move Rate.

    Your own personal gaming terms...

    ROFL, yes, this is one of mine as well, we used it extensively during our Birthright campaigns. Also, PFAP which stands for Place Foot Apply Pressure. This was our description used for an "Open Door" roll for our 2nd-ed games. Divine Smackdown was something I coined recently, to describe the...

    Give me some made up feats you use

    We've just instated a pair of feats for Cleric's Turning: Improved Turning Power - adds +2 to the max HD a cleric might turn in a given attempt. Improved Turning Effect - adds +4 to the Turning Damage roll.

    What does On The Ground mean to you?

    I agree, you would HAVE to be somewhat lenient with a floor covering like that, because what about the PC's boots? They technically prevent his feet from contacting the actual ground itself too, but we don't make that an issue because our collective definition of "ground contact" has to be at...
