    How to DM AND play char.?

    Funny this got brought up again. We still have'nt started playing due to scheduling problems and I was asking the "Vice DM" if he would like to run a solo for me but he favors the idea that I make the map and tell him what to put in it(vaguely e.g. kobolds and a few simple traps in random areas)...

    How about a Ranger/scout/bard or Ranger/Scout/Rogue.

    Ultimate self-sufficiant char.

    Well the DM can provide me with means of planar travel (portals,magic rings,whatever) He says that he's thinking about maybe using a form of follow-the-bad-guy-thru-a-portal or portal-disquised-as-a-door...or wardrobe :p. Anyway I don't need to have planar spells in my repitoire, So that...

    Ultimate self-sufficiant char.

    I will take all of this into consideration but first let me elaborate on the origional Q. I am not really into playing magic users so I',m liking the idea of a wood elf swift hunter with MAYBE :\ a lvl. or two of rogue, bard, or monk. if I go with bard I won't get lock and trap skills, if I go...

    Ultimate self-sufficiant char.

    Frankly, I don't have the slightest idea as to what kind of sidekick to have (if at all) but I was thinking of playing something to the effect of a ranger with no more than 3 levels each of scout monk rouge bard barbarian and paladin :cool: . Also the DM will be somewhat inexperienced so all...

    Ultimate self-sufficiant char.

    I'm the DM now but I'm itching to play so one of the players offered to do a solo camp. for me. He'll be making it up and say that I can expect a little of everything (dungeon crawl, politics, investigation, wilderness, planar travel, underdark, and all the ones I missed) So my Q is : What...

    How often do you use traps?

    does anyone know of any rules for pc's setting simple traps? you know, like deadfalls, nets, snares that kinda thing. All I see in the DMG are pit traps and elaborate rich person traps. (like Combat trapsmith ability but slower and not magical or alchemical)

    How often do you use traps?

    also you don't need a dungeon crawl to have traps, you can have them out side too :) nothing says hunting like a beartrap/falling net/spiked pit/avalanche! :p

    Magical elves

    pretty much just enough to explain stuff. "Because I said so" or "Magic!" just does'nt cut it with these young people of today with their crazy rap music and electronic do-hickys! :lol:

    Magical elves

    Well, I know as DM I can do whatever but I like to stay close to the guidelines (less work :p ) and a big part of my DM style is realism. player- "Why do elves have innate magically abilities? ME- "Magic!" :D player-"No,really" Me- "Uhh, radiation in the soil caused by... Irenicus. Yeah...

    Magical elves

    But it really does'nt seem right to give them spell-like abilities because not all elves know magic, just the majority. And since they're so old would'nt they have more levels anyway (NPCs) like, your average elf instead of being a 3rd lvl. commoner he might be a 4th lvl. comm. and 1st lvl...

    Magical elves

    Hmmm. I might go with the spell-like ability feat. also this maybe off topic, but I had an elf char. once and it occured to me that since he only needed 4 hrs. of "sleep" imagine how much more he could do and learn while the rest of the party was asleep. I talked to the DM about it but he...

    Magical elves

    Hey I'm back. So I'm working on making a nation of elves and in the RoW read that elves use magic in their everyday lives. I was thinking about having 65% of all elves (including commoners have at least one level of adept or wizard) so would this be balanced in the average game,if not might you...
