    Help word a feat?

    What is sounds like is youspoonybard wants to allow a caster type that has more than one attack cast a spell in place of an single attack during the full attack? If that is right, I think CRGreathouse has the right idea in starting with Spell Opportunity, which allows a character to cast a...

    Stop the 1st level Rogue

    Now is this for a first level toon or a higher starting level? If the later, then background may be reason enough. For example, why would a high mage bother or even have the ability to learn rogue skills? But if a rogue stole a book, and learned how to read it then become a mage. Now also a...

    Which battlemat to get?

    Tactiles As others already stated Tact-tiles. I have several Chessex battle maps, but since I purchased the Tacttiles I have not used them. Chessex are nice, don't get me wrong, but out of the two I would use Tact-tiles. Most of my Chessex maps are old, thus EVERYONE has some kind of...

    "Planar Handbook" - completlely useless?

    First as already stated books for GMs hit much less of the gamer population than books for players, and yes this is a business. Also you may want to look at the book again. A fellow gamer picked it up this past week and I was browsing it this past gaming session and saw some cool things that...

    Contingency Questions

    Ok, have a Cleric with Time domain which grants Contingency. Could you have the following Trigger (with Heal Spell). "Any time I take damage that would render me unconscious or dead activate Heal? (which was spell stored for contingency)." This sounds legit with the above explanations how it...

    Help me convince my players that the Cleric is cool

    I had the same problem. I joined a campaign with established characters, none of which were a Cleric or healer type. They all wanted me to play a healer/cleric. I was not too fond of playing one, and in fact never played a cleric more than a few sessions. But I picked the Shaman from Oriental...

    SpellJammer

    Yeah, it was a setting that people either loved or hated. I enjoyed it very much and was a nice alternative to plane hopping for lower level characters. As Sledged pointed out there are some great sites out there that still support it. I would love to see more spheres/worlds added, maybe as a...

    Prophetic Magic Items

    Well, you probably want one shot items. Items that activate under a specific set of circumstances. Just watching tomb raider waiting for a computer system to get updated and the clock piece which activated at the exact start of the alignment. It was good for nothing else. So for example the...

    Profession(Token Maker)

    Yeah, I had thought about that, but thought maybe I should involve the profession skill in more than just the final put the pieces together, but it does make sense to have K(Spirits) tell you what a spirit would like. Yes, again could use strictly gems, but I wanted to add variety, you know...

    Profession(Token Maker)

    In Oriental Adventures a few spells require a Spirit Token. They just give costs and hit points based on the material. Also other spells like Spirit Ally require a "payment". And "Commune with Spirit" Lessor/Greater also require payments/offerings. I just can't see handing over gold coins to a...

    Herbalism and Alchemy

    BB, I just posted a article under House Rules are creating Spirit Tokens which require Herbalist input. Feel free if you want to use this in your PDF (maybe as an appendix), just would like to see my name in it for credit if you do. Profession(Spirit Token Maker)...

    Profession(Token Maker)

    Okay, I have a Shaman character I love playing and she requires Tokens and such for her spells. In the spell descriptions (like Substitution from OA)it lists the costs and sizes of the the Tokens, but I wanted to add some more flavor to making these. Finding special mediums and such in game...

    Homebrew campaign map idea

    I just find it's easiest to just draw on graph paper several land masses. Then erase a bit, and a bit more. Add some islands. Then think about what you want in your world. Are there specific land features which separate cultures? Specific land features you want as plot devices, for example "a...

    Rolling random Tiefling attributes (not finished, come contribute!)

    One, you may want to take a look at UA as they have Traits and such which could easily be added to these tables. As for your tables: What is really the differnce between these. 8. One foot taller than average 9. One foot shorter than average Maybe something like 8. Foot is 1d4-1d4 inches...

    How secure is a Magnificent Mansion?

    Well if its an extra dimensional space, then I think most of these devices (bags of holding and such) would not function. And if someone tried to access one, it would rip as would a bag of holding dumping onto another plane (where demi-pocket exists - if you go that route). PCs would probably...

    Where's Enhanced Summoning from?

    Couple of sources I believe. Alienest (ToB) Feat: Augement Summon (source?) Unearth Arcana (has rules for ehanced summon - I believe)

    Creature Catalog - in XML or Database Format?

    BOZ, who has access to the php database? In searching site I do not see a link to grab them all. For individuals who would want them this would save on downloads and web site hits. Otherwise we would have to click on every link to download them all. Great work to all by the way.

    How deep is an earthquake?

    The AoE is 80' radius sphere. That means at the center it effects 80' deep. Now does it have enough force at the edges to open a fisure? I would probably think not, but hey its magic, so your call. Anyways, the edges will probably have shallower fisures while the center has larger ones. I would...

    What's a good resource for a lost city buried under dust?

    As diaglo mentioned, Darksun has the "Silt Sea" which I believe has a city burried in it. I do not recall if it has a module to itself or not.

    Advice for improving as a DM

    Well, just figured I would throw my 0.02$ in as well. As stated by playing in other games (different GMs) you will learn a lot of styles. But just don't play in them, observe as well. Especially if its the same group (just different player GMing). See what the players react to, and what they...
