    DM Tricks to Challenge Tough PCs with Weaker Enemies

    Barbarian, Lasher, Ranger = Disarm Mystic, Kineticist, Wilder = Grapple (I don't know much about psionics but I'm assuming they'll have trouble casting spells just like a wizard or sorcerer during a grapple) Those tactics depend on the attackers being close enough to the party, so you'll need to...

    DM Tricks to Challenge Tough PCs with Weaker Enemies

    I'd also like to add Grapple The Spellcasters (probably a very common tactic and probably mentiond before in this thread). But I doubt it will work so well against clerics and druids...

    Casting time: full round action, while grappling

    So after the player playing the sorcerer witnessed how destructive grapple can be to his spellcasting he took the feat still spell. With his higher-than-his-cha con he can cast all but his highest level spells even while grappling. Everything is great until I read about metamagic feats and...

    DM Tricks to Challenge Tough PCs with Weaker Enemies

    Enlarge person is a first level spell that gives you a +4 to grapple, disarm, trip, bullrush and overrun. A first level fighter focused on disarming with the help of a first level wizard (to cast enlarge person) can have a +1(BAB) +2(weapon) +4(improved disarm) +4(2 handed weapon) +4(enlarge...

    What's your alignment in real life?

    I am lawful in many ways and chaotic in many other ways. I am not evil but probably not that good either. So true neutral. I would probably not worship any god were I a D&D character, just as I don't worship any god in the real world. If I had to choose, it would probably be Boccob. Not because...

    DM Tricks to Challenge Tough PCs with Weaker Enemies

    Great thread! I was thinking of starting one like this. My players are the worst tacticians, I want to send a few low level losers with extreme strategy to teach them a lesson. I don't want to kill their characters, I just want to show them how much good tactics can affect a battle. Most combats...

    Bard's magical items

    One of the players is playing a bard. Last session he found a place to buy magical bard items. I just made them up and placed their cost at 8,000 each. 'Drum of damage' gives him a new bard song that gives a +4 to weapon damage rolls to all allies in range and it lasts for 4 rounds after he...

    Character Names - How Do You Come Up With Yours?

    That's how I usually do it, or I take a name/word and change it to sound like a name. For example, the first word that jumped into my mind right now was 'glasses' so I'll call the next new NPC my players meet: Gallinsus. If it's an elf then i'll stick a 'th' and 'r' in there for: Grallinthus. If...

    How do Vampires travel???

    So if a vampire kills someone with its energy drain it'll need to get a coffin for that someone in order to have a new spawn? Also, in the 'Slaying a vampire' section it says nothing about destroying the vampires coffin as a way to slay it, I just assumed it will return to the same place and...

    Common High-Level Tactics

    Here's tactics a 12th level wizard used against the PCs recently: Have my undead minions block the path so the melee tank can't kill me in the first round. Have a Contingency with Stoneskin so the archer doesn't kill me in the first round. Cast Feeblemind on the sorcerer (hopefully before he...

    how do you play games?

    The last option is kind of misleading. I have a friend who wrote 3 pages of backstory for his character, but during game time he likes nothing better than number crunching.

    This map I have + Mistaken identity

    Since this city was created with magic and is the home of the most powerful clerics and wizards in the nation, the arguements presented in the posts above should not come up in my game. Thanks a lot for the name change Terraism and el-remmen. If anyone is willing to address the second part of...
