    Cohort's wealth question

    In our campaigns we have ruled that the toon with the leadership feat must provide all equipment to the cohort.

    Scepters versus rods.......

    I usually classify Scepters as Rods with large or fancy head/piece/unit (Sort of like a mace). Where as a Rod usually is more like a large wand or small staff. Just my thoughts.

    Spell that makes a summoned creature "permanent"

    There are some cool campaign things you could do. As stated above, weird natural food sources, which could have plot hooks or adventures in of themselves. Even though the mushrooms grow in the caves, there are creatures that also like to eat them because of the scarcity of food. Another one...

    How much background is too much?

    One can never have too much background. I love playing/running a very detailed world. This was actually a recent thread, forget where though. Making the players read it though is another. I don't think I would read a 10 page document if my GM gave it to me before I even started. The previous...

    Wildshape and worn items

    In 3.0 items were absorbed in whildshape. In the PrC (Tomb of Blood - Shifter) the Greater Wildshape ability allowed the shifter to select which items did or did not meld into the form. Also there is a item power Wilding (I think) in 3.5 which allows the magic item to be used in wildshape...

    (Looking for) Ice(Arctic) Elves

    I tried searching, but I get a page saying I do not have access to it. So I am asking does anyone remember seeing a post on a type of Ice elves. I also believe I remember seeing something in a recent dragon magazine and was wondering if anyone recalls the issue number. Thanks spelling...

    Template / Wild Shape question.

    Not 100% sure on the question? Are you asking if you can shapechange into a base creature with a template or if you have a template applied to your base toon and then wildshape? In the prior, Yes you can shapechange into creatures using tempaltes. see BoED, they have a celestial whildshape feat...

    Time Travel..

    I once ran a campaign where that is how I actually introduced the players. They awoke in a field stripped of any magic items (magic items interrupted the time field) with only a note with some names and such. After a bit of remebering they were sent back in time by a powerful wizard to locate...

    How do you deal with Roleplaying XP?

    When I GM (been about a year) I usually give out a base exp for the night. This is based on the overall theme/play. So as long as you show up you would get this exp. I would then hand out EXP bonus on how well you played your character to your character. That is, if your character is a wizard...

    Players: Do you plan in advance for character progression?

    Changing ways... When I started back in the old days I never planned out a character. Just created and saw where it led me. Even in 2nd Ed I didn't plan much. When 3rd Ed came out, I still didn't plan much. But then I realized I could not get the cool PrC's at the next level, so I then had to...

    Do you let your PCs create any magic item they want?

    A few thoughts. I am also in a campaign where we are non-stop. But we have created alternate characters. Thus one of our characters can have the time if really needed, while the other toon plays. So possibly if the reason behind it, is he wants you to continue to play, ask him about a...

    Skills Based on Backgrounds

    I agree, Skill sets do not take into account background. Just some thoughts, Rather than saying that these are their skill sets, I would say you get to select "x" from the following. It would add even more diversity. Or you could say besides your base skills you can select 1 (or 2) skills from...

    Comment/Criticize my Prc: The Spirit Warrior

    Interesting PrC. I can see this fitting into some campaigns nicely. The only thing that hit me right off was the "Part of the Spirit World II". For some reason I immediately thought of BlindSense. See invisible might be a little weak for a 9th level ability. Blindsense could be worded as...

    The way my party finds out which sword is better... legal?

    As stated above, adding a powerful cursed item is a nice way to stop this. Another way is Aura of Non-Detection (I think thats the spell name) which hides magical auras. Then the party when they kill the big villian, and cast detect magic on the sword/item, it doesn't glow. They assume its...

    Taking the Rogukan out of OA: Experience? Suggestions? Opinions?

    I am currently in a campaign (not OA) and I play a Shaman. I had to talk with the GM prior to finding out how he delt with Spirits and such. We treat them a little different, more like souls. Not everything has a spirit and strong spirits can inhabit non-living things. As such there are not as...

    Average length of campaigns?

    Seems to be getting shorter My first "true" campaign lasted 7+ years meeting every week. I then moved to the boston area, and since then I haven't been in the same group for over 2 years, and the campaigns last even less. It seems to be getting shorter and shorter. I definitly prefer the...

    Driudic wildshape suggestions

    Best animals I play a shape changer from the OA source book. And at level 24 with both Magical Beasts, Dire, Celestial and Animals. Dire Bear is one of the best creatures outside of Elementals. But it really depends on the situation. For pure damage, Dire Bear is nice, but it is a big...
