the house rule I was considering was a "transportation sickness" after appearing you are dis orientated and nauseus for a few minutes. So it allows transport anywhere but you wont want to try and start a fight as soon as you arrive. doesnt look like my campaign is going to get that high level...

we always play in the evening, so when I'm dming its explain to my girlfriend that I'm not out to get her/wont give her more xp as I collapse into bed (we usually play in my room or at least only next door. when im playing its try and remove the red wine coated onto my tongue and stagger...

play a spellthief. I've been playing a rogue for the last 6 months and bought complete adventurer halfway through and I now want to try a spellthief instead. then tell me all about how great it is..... The other that i've been fancying is the daggerspell shaper (complete adventurer), I love...

First of all sorry if this is in the wrong forum everybody/mods. I've got a character in my dnd campaign that I have introduced to my players a couple of times and am puzzling how to stat out (until now been friendly but the players may end up picking a different side in the fight to what I...

A elderly halfling who sounds like my grandmother used to sound, full of commonsense advice and seemingly very distracted. Quite crotchety, dresses in rags. Seems almost senile sometimes. My players have met one powerful and mysterious figure who they visited he gave them some directions to...

good point someone said about mundane things being much less challenge at higher levels. Maybe what you want are some magical poisons for higher levels, higher cost, higher DC, nastier/weirder effects. I like the idea of triple distilled poisons or concentrated ones, as soon as we get a lab my...

The campaign i've been running this year we picked on. roll your class hit dice if you dont like it roll the next dice size down and and so on till they get a number they like. It still allows some randomness, gives the excitement of rolling dice and doesnt leave the barbarian with less hit...

A lot of my friends who are DnDers play shadowrun too. Seems like great fun from their sessions i've sat in on. Thats the next on my wish list a try at that.

The Sword of Balance. A well made but plain sword, unadorned with gems or ornamentation. The blade alters to become any martial bladed weapon to suit the weilder when picked up by them (DMs choice whichever weapon they commanly use). Has a +1 enchantment bonus and doesn't detect as magical...

and they can spend a couple of skill points to get a rank in disable device, showing that they've had some training in setting snares and other woodsy type traps. On the other hand if you want an expert trap setter then they've multiclassed into rogue maybe? I mean just because its cross class...

I think that the point people are trying to make is that the generalist hasn't got the slot that the specialist is using to prepare the extra blur/invis/etc in whereas the generalist could be memorising one of those in one of their normal slots. And the argument that runs parallel to this one...

never met agile riposte but my rogue in the other campaign that our group is playing is looking vaguely at the agile tactical combat feat from complete warrior cant remember the name of it, if i ever make the pre reqs I guess we'll have to sort it out then. Hadnt really thought about whether...

Sorry Crothian, was in a bad mood last night and thought I'd use some evocative language and unfair comparisons for the other side of the argument, in the interest of equality. :D

Just read this and a slight sidetrack occured to me, I was intending ages ago to swap the normal effect of toughness for this as in get toughness get 1hp/hd, obviously it powers up toughness but would anyone consider this too over the top? I've already swapped dodge to be +1 dodge donus to...

but surely "the demon brings down his gigantic flaming sword with a scream of effort knocking your sword flying from your hand then turns to you with a smile of sadistic satisfaction on his face" is more dramatic than " *roll dice roll dice roll dice roll dice* right you've dropped your sword...

thats a rather aggressive post, I think trying to imply that not using fumbles must mean that all the characters in the campaign have extra excessive ability scores far too much money or that they are played by people with no desire to roleplay. fumbles - originally I wrote " a poorly...

the other problem seems to run that its another mechanic that hurts melee/ranged combat types and not spellcasters, seems like there should be a penalty added in for all classes. oops your 24th level archmage just disintergrated themselves, still never mind. I have spent the last 6 years...

If you have a look on the wotc coast website in retired articles theyve got one on vermin druids where they talk about having swarms as animal companions and the relevant levels that you can get them (as well as having rules for scorpions and other cool vermin as an animal companion as well)...

I'm living in Oxford at the moment well at least I am for another 5 months till I finish Uni and I've been playing DnD since last february when my friends bought me the core books for my birthday and a bag of dice of course, up until then I'd just done lots of larping.

Spells running out is a good reason, a time pressure is a good reason. But if theres the chance of a trapped door or about to cave in corridor or something else thats very likely to hand out instant death taking your time searching is fair enough. Maybe try and get them to step up so that they...
