    Cancelling a session / not attending a session.

    Our group meets about every two months, one of the reasons being that with 9 players it is very hard to find a date that all can make it. The only vital people are the hosts and the GM, once we have them we generally try to choose the most popular date but normally a few cant make it. Depending...

    Mirror Images vs. mulitple attacks

    Going off on a slight tangent i was wondering how cleave works against mirror image? If you hit an image do you get to attack another one when it goes pop? If yes then with great cleave can you keep hitting until you find the real person?

    Combat Expertise + Power Attack?

    If you used it after casting true strike then you have points to spare even after subtracting for both, likewise if using wraithblade, find the gap or similar spells.

    Cost and Time for Training?

    If i were to include training costs to 4e i would have the trainers accept items at trade price rather then just 20%. Another idea is that after getting enough for next level any additional xp is put into a buffer. This can be used for item creation or to replace xp lost from level drain, maybe...

    Roleplaying a fair and decent leader

    Don't have any experience myself but when i read the question it reminded me of Birthright, if you can find anyone that played that they might be able to give pointers. Had a quick look on the website and found this, don't know if its any help but here goes. BRCS:Chapter one/Character/Noble -...

    Sorcerer: why the qualification in available spells?

    There were a few spells in Races of the Dragon that were Sorc only. As mentioned above i think its just the way they worded it, use the wizard list or make your own spells.

    Last Names in your Campaign

    The only time when ive found npc names to be useful is for noble houses and dwarves. Basically the type of people that do take there names very seriously. Other then that you could use it to add a bit of background into standard npcs, consider some of the surnames around today: smith, fletcher...

    Any Dinotopia-like settings?

    I will have to check where it is but i remember a fair amount of information on the saurials. If i remember there were four different types which resembled a Triceratops(mage), Stegasaurus(priest), Iguanadon(fighter), Pterdactal<sp> (rogue), have listed their prefered class. The vale they lived...

    Are roleplaying characters just lucky (in contrast to protagonists in other media)?

    I think it is the other way around, movie protagonists are far more lucky then roleplaying characters. In your average action film how many knives / bullets / cars / buildings / explosions / ect just miss the main character? One film that seemed to me to have a different grasp on a fight was...

    The Unbeatable Trick

    I remember in a 2nd Ed adventure one of our common tactics against mobs of weak foes was to mass throw pots of burning oil. After returning to a cave complex after returning to base to rest we were attacked by a swarm of orcs throwing burning oil at us. We lost several people that day...

    Snake's Swiftness, Mass: Better than Fireball?

    Im also backing the vote for Haste, longer duration, more utility, no chance of friendly fire incidents. At 6th level you will be doing on average 21 damage, thats 10 on a save or less if they have any resistance. As for access to fire damage, imo take scorching ray and next level you will be...

    Cost of Adamantine double-weapons

    Suggestions for a LA+1 race and Prestige class for a Druid

    Lizardman has druid as its favored class, has multiple natural attacks and good NA so a nice compliment for when not in wild shape.

    Follow-Up - Fiendish Beholder and the final battle

    Glad it went well, sneaky move with the death pact, like it.

    Difficult Character and Player

    As mentioned it does seem like the nearest match would be a Psion so that might be a good option if you wanted her to convert. Another thing to consider is that there are lots of things out there that would not be so hampered by the wall. Incorporal Undead, demons and devils with innate...

    Good action for my Evil High Priest? (a bit long)

    I never understood why it couldnt use telekinesis just to lift if above it so it could target with all rays. One problem with the slave girl trick, im sure someone in the party would have true sight up. As for dominate monster, a simple protection from good spell will stop it working, or use...

    Good action for my Evil High Priest? (a bit long)

    Bringing back the paladin might be a fun action, but without his steed he will be less effective. A bit of a play on words but could your EHP of Tyranny summon an eye tyrant? Im sure a beholder could strip a few buffs off them as well as cause a decent distraction. Not sure what it could do...

    Greedy player doesn't know when to quit

    Reminds me a little of when i played Temple of Elemental Evil, my group systematically went from room to room clearing out enemies. Unfortunately for us the DM played the foe smartly, after we had defeated half the dungeon the remaining groups realised that our party were a major threat and...
