I've not yet read the other responses, but . . . . . . this is the way I would do it - every time they open a door, make a roll to determine which room they enter, with no chance of entering the room that contain(s/ed) the lich. To reach that room, they have to do something odd - like place...

I can easily see Sparta as a LE society the way it should be. Most LE societies shown in fantasy settings tend to be extremes and stereotypes. Sparta was neither - at least not compared to those found in fantasy literature. That said, how can a PALADIN possibly live, work, etc in a LE society...

I have not yet read any of the responses, so my concerns may have already been addressed. There is not enough information to vote. a) Is this feat-BAB in addition to normal BAB, or is it a replacement of normal BAB. Will every point of BAB come to you via feats, or is this a bonus on top of...

Nothing, although . . . I'd change the Fortitude save to a Reflex save and would remove heavy armor and perhaps something else to add in a couple more skill points - and add skills such as Spot to their list of class skills. Otherwise, I don't think the fighter needs all that many changes to...

As much as I dislike the concept, I am informed that Cityscape has DR / city :confused:

Ahh . . . However, the only oriental weapon that comes even close to this is . . . I forget its name, but it was a length of thin but normal chain with a weight at the end - sort of a chain mace without a hilt / handle and a much longer chain. Did they start with that and add slashing damage...

Spiked Chain - origins? This is just a little question, but where did the spiked chain come from? There is no historical equivalent, I can't recall any movies off hand that used it (as it cannot be realistically wielded), nor any fantasy books that used it either. Did it exist in 2e and was...

Actually, I'm more concerned that the guards might have already released them. Due to the bookkeeping error they may believe the Linear Guild was placed in prison without cause, or some such. Unlikely, probably, but still a possibility.

That just gave me an idea for a scene . . . The party is fleeing down an alley and find themselves facing a suddenly facing a 10 ft brick wall after turning a corner. Rather than face their foes - who are quickly catching up with them - the druid becomes a new wall perhaps 5-10 feet before the...

Try here: A quick Google search can sometimes help a bit. :) http://roleplayingtips.rpgshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=33066& http://www.trolllord.com/vampires.htm Troll Lord has a few others as well, here: http://www.trolllord.com/d20.htm

While I expected 'No' to have the lead, I must admit I am surprised at how much of a lead it actually has gained.

I was most impressed by the Scout alternate skirmish feature. Others also impressed me, but when I read that my first thought was to create a Scout / Monk using that feature as a sort of aikido style of combat (devastating counters rather than rush into an attack, or something like that). Then...

Hmm, having a go-along NPC might work, but I am not sure. How would they know the party wouldn't overpower the NPC if it decided to get into mischief, start an evil cult, rob a temple, etc? I think it would work better if the go-along or the temple had something upon the fighter to prevent him...

King Arthur's armor was nameless. His sword was named, but it was also a rather powerful magic item: it ignored hardness of an object and seemingly did more damage than most other blades of its type (so was likely enhanced, perhaps beyond +1). Also, the scabbard was more powerful yet. While...

Cleverness, as I understand it, has much to do with a body mass to brain mass ratio. Anything over a certain ratio is beyond what is needed to regulate the body, and so the creature comes across as 'clever' compared to others. This includes everything from squirrels and cats (at the low end of...

They have had evidence and even body parts of Giant Squids for a decade or two. The Colossal squid, however, has only been in evidence from sucker marks on sperm whales and beaks and tentacle parts found in the stomachs of said whales. This is not even the first actual capture of one - just the...

This is why I think chimps should be given at least Int 3. Granted, they lack complex language, but they have been shown to use and make a variety of tools - from wooden spears to stone hammers to walking sticks etc. Then there is the fact that some chimps and gorillas in captivity have not...

Um, if you are not stat'ing them then it shouldn't be that hard for you to determine their portfolios, domains, etc yourself. Portfolios are easiest - just look at whyever the deities were prayed to. Did someone pray to deity _____ for a good harvest? Chances are that 'harvest', 'agriculture'...

Um, if the proto-Paladin is accused of heresy, he wouldn't be allowed to wander free as he might - if allowed to roam - attempt who knows what evil act(s) - or even attempt to convert others to his evil patron. But, being untrained in religion (at least to any significant degree), he would...

You are forgetting that magic does not exist historically, while in D&D it does exist - and can often grant more protection than full plate. Animated Shields, Bracers of Armor +#, Rings of Protection +#, Heavily Fortified (light) armor - or perhaps even cotton or wool shirts, and so forth -...
