It is interesting. So many responses state that they chose facilitator, yet their reasons why more closely resemble adversary. Or perhaps I am misunderstanding something . . . . I chose "most often see the DM as an adversary" as the DM is supposed to provide challenges for the players to...

Wasn't there a spell in 3e that was in effect a Wall of Dispel or some such, whereby any creature walking through it was hit by a dispel effect? Honestly, I cannot see a BBEG not warding his sanctum with such - especially whenever he has reason to suspect trouble may be coming (such as hearing...

I'm a little impressed that Belkar is so completely CE that his only alignment options left for consulting are NE, CE, and CN (ie: the two devils and the slaad). All others see to still have all four alignments (good, evil, chaos, law) to consult with, but Belkar is so thoroughly CE that only...

I really like these ideas. I may be mistaken, but I was under the impression that you healed 1 pt of ability damage each period of (restful) sleep. Thus, you would go through each day with either -1 Con or -0 Con, but never -2 or worse Con, as you describe it. Now, if it were -1 Con DRAIN then...

:confused: I'm suddenly reminded of Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist, who always seems to pose a time or two either before or after using Alchemy - sometimes both before and after. :lol:

The main problem I've always had with the idea of a 'Magic Shop' or 'Magic Bazaar' in RaW D&D is the cost of living issues. On the one hand you have the fact that every magic item created will decrease the xp of the creator, eventually to the point that they will surely fall a level if they...

I'm more inclined to think he has Favored Enemy (Human, maybe Goblinoid, and maybe Reptilian). Hmm, he also did quite a bit of damage to that chimera, so perhaps Magical Beasts is also one of his favored enemies?

Wow! Maybe we should change the name of this place to GMWorld! It seems almost everyone here is one, after all!

At fifth level the Wizard has 1 3rd level spell per day (not including bonuses for high Int). Using that spell slot to cast haste once a day for the entire level wouldn't be too hard. As I recall that basically means just 13-14 encounters and the downtime between each encounter (if any). On...

I would treat it like a ring of three wishes, although because the wish is so specific (ie: they cannot use it for anything else; it is pre-set so to speak), I might allow a fourth 'use'. So, for a ring that will - upon character death - immediately cast resurrection upon the character, and is...

Now that is a good idea! I'm not sure I'll be able to use it any time soon, but I'll definitely have to keep it in mind.

Yeah, he really knew what he was doing. Too bad he moved to the other side of the continent a few years ago. (He's in the navy.) I haven't seen nor heard from him in a while. He would roll to determine whether copper, silver, gold, iron, platinum, mithril, etc would affect the changed PC. He...

Actually, it worked both ways. There *were* ways to become a shape-shifter / werewolf, but the lycanthropes that resulted were not themselves infected, nor did they pass on lycanthropy. However, different areas had different beliefs, and some areas had the belief that lycanthropy was a terrible...

I had a DM once that played lycanthropes a similar way. The group would go so sleep, only to find that one (or more) of its members were not there in the morning. The players whose characters were missing would be told things like: "You wake up next to a tree. In the distance you can just see...

I liked the attention to detail in this one. Did anyone else notice that the dire wolf is drooling? :lol:

Regarding the first idea, it works best if you use either the paths of corruption from Ravenloft or something akin to the drifts from 3e's geomancer. Or even the odd paths in the third party book Chaos Magic (can't recall the company that released it; has been years since I looked through it)...

For some reason this immediately reminded me of Card Capturer Sakura - an anime I have not seen in nearly five years. :D Pull out a card, call out "Fly!", and suddenly the PC has a nice winged broom thing and is soaring through the air. :p I suppose Pokemon and perhaps Yugioh (never seen that...

There are several ways to do this. Allowing all casters to have Eschew Materials as a bonus feat is a common house rule, as it allowing Sorcerers to use Meta-magic feats without spending a full round preparing to use it. Another common house rule - at least around where I live - is that...

If I recall correctly those feats in Complete Adventurer - Ascetic this and that - not only count both classes levels in total for determining the development of things like unarmed strike damage and sneak attack (or smite attack, etc), but they also allow one to freely multiclass between the...

Actually, the orc pantheon has several members - just like the elven pantheon, dwarven pantheon, drow pantheon, gnome pantheon, and halfling pantheon. I don't think a single one of them has less than ~6 or 7 members. Give me a few minutes and I'll look up the other orc deities. That brings up...
