Whisper, You sort of answered your own question with the following: As an experienced DM s/he can make a ruling on the spot to decide if your action is proper or successful. WoTC has taken the game to those who don't have the experience DMing, thus these people need to know what is proper...

First looks sort of cool. Ok, breakdown concerning 3.5 In 3.5 they changed UAB. Its now based off of BAB. At 1st level you get Flurry of Blows which allows an extra attack with all attacks at a -2. At 5th level this penalty gets reduced to -1. At 9th level it gets reduced again to 0. At 11th...

I would ask how easilly accessible is it? For example if the local church has a rod of resurrection, how is that different than a sarcophagus? They still have control of it. Is it attached to a specific Diety? Or a magical device not attached to any diety? Now if its an item found in a...

Can't really add more than the above stated, but thought of something while reading the thread. First I have the Monstronomican, and thought that the lore section under each monster was very very cool. But obviously not every monster book is going to give that. Second, what seems to be at...

Heylo all, First I hate asking for help as I feel a character is something personal but it seems I have been grinding out characters lately and I'm running out of thoughts. Also I have the base concept, just need to round her out a bit. I am creating a new character for a sub-campaign(16th...

Whips from Underworld Question for those who have seen Underworld. What would be the damage on a whip as used in the movie near the end. Basically Barbed whips, but looks a little nastier. Any thoughts?

Ok, from what ottergame says, ECL does not effect leadership. So My Dragon PC is a 12th level toon. So then a 10th level Cohort with an ECL of +3 is still a 10 level Cohort (by that logic) and not a 13th level cohort. Blacknight is saying that ECL does effect it, thus my Dragon PC is a 16th...

I am currently looking at playing a Dragon PC which has an ECL of +4. I had originally planned on taking levels in Paladin and swap the mount that they get for a rider. But without any rules my GM suggested I go fighter and take leadership. Now the question is I am only level 12 with an ECL of...

Try to keep it Simple. When you first start DMing the number of rules you need to remember is overwhelming. Keep the number of monsters small and other factors minimal. Start at a lower level (makes things simpler - less player options.) Also try to find out what your new player likes about...

Yes, I am playing a Silver Dragon. I am thinking Paladin, and rather than gaining a mount I would gain a rider. There were rules somewhere for this, but can't find them.

I am creating a new dragon character and was looking to make a silver Dragon Paladin. I am trying to talk to the GM to allow me to take a rider as a replacement to the mount that a paladin would normally get. I recall seeing some rules somewhere that had Dragon PC's where they took familiars...

First, this sounds like a cool idea. We are currently running a campaign with Epic characters, we just took a break and are running low level characters. I think it would be even cooler to run "kids". For stat generation I would one of two things depending on how you generate your stats. If...

I would first talk with the player. As stated many players don't like it when you mess with their toons. Come up with several possible ideas and say to the player you are going to be marked in some way. What would you think best? By getting the players input they can role play it a lot more...

I would have to say have a base sinking rate of 0' per round. (people don't sink that fast without extra weight). And a naked body with air will float (deadmans float). For every 5 lbs of grear add 1' per round. So a person with 100 pounds of gear would sink 20' per round (easy calculation for...

As C47 mentioned the Chakram. Now lets take this and apply a little custom fantasy rule. Similar to Xena when she throws the weapon, it can bounce around to different targets. This takes skill and someone picking up a Chakram just doesn't have the skill to use it like this. Feat: Skilled...

As stated in previous post Tressym is a winged cat. It does exist in 3.0 It is located in the back of the Forgotten Realms hard cover book. Don't have it handy so can't tell you how it compares, but I suggest looking there. Joe

In the BoEDs there is a feat, Ancestral Relic. It is suppose to be limited to Good players, though I see no restriction in that. It is also not takable till 3rd level, again I would think that its only takable at 1st level. In which case it wouldn't get powers 'awaken' till 3rd level. Bust...

Few thoughts how this could happen, a greater diety having is presence removed by a Epic Giant? I would think first the Diety would be aware of it, if nothing else he would have protections against such a thing. Now possibly the evil diety was involved cloaking the giant or what ever because he...

IIRC there was a listing in the OLD DMG (1st or 2nd Ed) which had prices for NPCs which included higher levels. If someone had this list it probably could be fitted to 3rd. On a different note, what is the average level of NPCs in the world. If these NPCs are very high compared to other...

Few different threads appears to be going on here or thought tracks. As for social role/roll playing. We(see below) usually have the player try to role play it out. If they are good enough then often we don't require a roll. Or if we do its a modifed DC. If its a tough situation or the player...
