Don't be afraid to change the number of cities. Maybe it is really the same city told of by six different sources at six different times in history. I have a couple cities for the living where my PC hang out, and dozens that are known by name whre they never go. You have a little different...

thanks Vraister.

Just one bump. Sorry to be a pest, but Does anyone have anything additional I can refer to?

Greetings, Can anyone tell me if a wild shaped druid gets the benefits of all his magic rings, amulets and such while in animal form? I know his armor is not effective, since the rule says he gains the animal armor class, and I know he can't use things he holds in hand, but what about bracers...

Hey folks, I'm needing some druid info. Looks like I found a good trhead to post in. Thanks in advance for any help or info. When a druid does the wild shape thing and becomes a regular animal per the 3.5 rules, they get all the benefits of being the animal and some handicaps- like AC. Do...

No matter what else a character may be about, I try to keep the physical description short at first. Hair color, Eyes, nose or Jaw line. A while later Later I reveal more detail. This helps paint a memorable picture of the character straight off. If the main characteristic is not physical...

All of the above ideas are good ones, or at least I think so since I've used many of them in my own campaigns. Also, I almost never use the random tables for treasure. They are too limiting except in cases where you want to inject a specific DnD/DMG item with ready made stats. Art type issues...

Thanks Ambrus, at my age my memory is not what it should be. And those later books with Mica are just as good as the first two. Gotta remember that: Barstool. Barstool. Barstool. Okay, I'm set.

Ballantine Books started a new issue of compiled stories a year or so back. They are covering all of RE Howard's stories. The Coming of Conan is first of the two for Conan. It is a trade paperback and has lots of notes and some story fragments at the end. A second book of Conan is...

The poster who recommends Steven Brust's Phoenix Guards and 500 Years After is right on point, too. These two books were written as an homage to Dumas. The use of language is tasty. If you like lots of polite dialog before the swashing and buckling begins. Some of my friends think they have...

I house ruled guns in One game as follows: Armor class still counts in full, to simulate how inaccurate guns were. The attack roll was normal, not a ranged touch. Range increments for pistols were 5 feet, and ten feet for long guns. Damage was 3d6 for a pistol or 4d8 for a long gun. Criticals...

There are some good bits to a bard, but I think I'd do first level Rogue, then one level of bard, and then all rogue with emphasis on the knowledge skills for history, etc. and/or give a couple levels of expert (even though I don't think that is as good as straight rogue). (At this point I am...

Glassjaw, Here is what I did ot make them scary. All firearms ignore all armor. Magic armor is no benefit. The PC's AC is simply 10 + Dex modifier. Certain spells can affect the bullet: all spells with Deflection bonuses stack with the base armor class and Dex, but the Deflection is only...

I looked at the problem from the point of view of having my players pop this one on me in game, no warning. Wow, I need a fast rule in 10 seconds. I like big, bold swashbuckling moves, by the way. Here it is, based on what the PC rolls on the Jump: Rolls 24 or less - runs into the fighter and...

If you like the subject of China's era of international (sea) trade, find the book called When China Ruled the Seas. If I recall correctly it was co written with a historian, but the author was not accredited – or something like that. It’s been a number of years since I read it. I think the...

Thanks to DnDChick and Arwink for the extra info. I'd never heard of the Iconic Bestiary til now. Musta been dozing off when that hit ENWorld....

Thanks Capellan, I missed the obvious reason in trying to see some complex one.

Does anyone know why the Beholder does not appear in the SRD? Is it a copyrighted name? If so, what name does it appear under? Seems odd that it is in the MM I but not the SRD. thanks.

We have less than a thousand minis, most of which I painted and contributed to the game. I bought a few pre painted plastics, and a couple are good enough to use on the table top, but most lack the heft, and finesse of the metals. The plastic dragons aren't really big enough for my tastes, but...

It seems so simple, but some questions came up at our game. If the Hand is directed to attack some one within range, but a wall of fire or iron is put up between the caster and the target, will the Hand finish the attack or return to the caster. The distance between the two foes required about...
