Thank you. I will probably be able to work with that in some way.

Does anyone know if the battlemaps contained in Red Hand of Doom are available anywhere else, as a PDF or otherwise? I'd really like to use them, but I'd really rather not remove them from the book if I don't have to (yeah, I'm one of those people). C

Does anyone know if Green Ronin's Book of Fiends also includes the material from the Unholy Warrior's Handbook? If I wanted to use Book of the Righteous and its counterparts to run a major divine good vs. evil game using Green Ronin's books, which books would I need? Thanks! C

At present, I don't make them lose accumulated XP; however, they do need to spend a single night in a "non-adventure" situation (i.e., a night of relative security) in order to gain a level. In other words, I don't let them level up in the middle of a dungeon, for instance. They have no...

Sure, but this just goes back to what I said before, i.e., I know how to pace a game in that way. That's not the point - I'm looking for house rules like the one you proposed (but evidently never implemented). The reason I'm specifically curious about actual house rules, not simply "DM...

OK. FWIW, I never considered the 20 levels in 60 days as a plausible scenario (it's been brought up several times as if that was the main point of my original post). Nor did I ever think that the designers intended that. Nor was I wondering if anyone ever did that. Nor would I ever consider...

Psion, Those are some helpful lists! I normally shy away from 3rd party products myself, but as my campaign qualifies as "demon hunting," "horror," and "undead," I may have to check out some of those other books (I have all the WotC stuff). Thanks! C

I concede that it was not "reasonable" in any narrative sense. Plus it makes a lot of presumptions about, well, a lot of things. However, from a pure "design" point of view, it made sense, and therein lies the potential problem. I also do not use any more formal house rule than you cannot...

I'll have to give that a more thorough look, but that's definitely in the right direction. Unfortunately for lazy me, it's actually designed as a separate game, and I'd rather just pillage stuff without modification for standard D&D rules (and I couldn't find any monsters from the setting), but...

First, I apologize in advance: I don't visit the House Rules forum often. Forgive me if this has been discussed already... There is a letter in the current Dragon that bemoans the speed of the 3/3.5 rate of level advancement, not in terms of # of encounters, but in actual game world time...

Hello all. I wasn't interested in adding another poll to the board, but I was informally curious about something in your games. I'm wondering how many people play in/run "kitchen sink" D&D games. For the purposes of my question, I'll use the definition of "kitchen sink game" that applies to...

Does anyone know of any sites/resources for WHFRP world/setting material using a standard D&D ruleset? I think the setting has plenty of ideas worth pilfering, but I'd rather continue using the more familiar D&D rules. C

OK, I can understand that (I personally still think it's silly, but I understand it). However, what denizens that come to the material plane are CN? Honestly, I can't think of any Far Realm beings specifically, but my memory seems to be that they are CE. Thus, even though they are "beyond...

"Subtly and importantly different" though they be, such a distinction makes little or no sense metaphysically. In the basic Great Wheel, the concepts of good, evil, law, and chaos are objective realities. Hence the actual planes embodying these concepts. To say that there is a different...

I haven't been able to pick up FC1 yet, so I was wondering if anyone could give me a brief synopsis of who the obyrith demons are. I read about them in the Dagon article in Dragon, and it seems that there may be room to make a link between them and the atmospheric elements usually attibuted to...

Happy Halloween to all! And thanks! Sometimes it pays to goof off at work! C

Boy, I don't comment on these boards often, but I just have to say that this is totally awesome! I compile so much from the WotC books for my own use, and I hadn't thought of doing this list yet. The utility of this list is phenomenal! Thanks to everyone who has contributed to it! C

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help. 1) Will Detect Magic detect the presence of a hidden magical trap? Or does only "active" magic register? For instance, if a chest has a Fire Trap on it, would Detect Magic note that magic was operative on the chest without otherwise tampering with it...

Yes. The domain says a good cleric turns or destroys lycanthropes as a cleric turns or destroys undead. I think that might be the answer to my question.

If a cleric has the moon domain, which allows Turn Lycanthrope in addition to Turn Undead, and then took Disciple of the Sun (use 2 turn attempts to destroy instead of turn undead), could he destroy lycanthropes also with 2 turn lycanthrope attempts?
