    Help Me Create My City's Mage's Quarter (my players please stay out)

    Oh, you simply *have* to include an animated broom, carrying buckets of water... :D

    What scale of changes and changes themselves would you find acceptable?

    Hm... I'm surprised at the number of respondents that seem willing to put up with a brand new 4th edition that would only make Insignificant, Miniscule or Minor changes. Do we really need another "3.75" edition? I voted for Huge to Fundamental changes myself. I think D&D is still dragging a lot...

    A PC who wont kill

    That's not really wat I was asking for, though... Regardless of which standard PC class you start with, a self-imposed restriction not to kill anyone will still saddle you with a huge handicap, compared to your standard D&D "kill 'em and take their loot" character. Sure, it might be easier to...

    A PC who wont kill

    Quick detour... So what are some of the other ways the rules support a character like this? People have already mentioned the Merciful magic weapon property (extra 1d6 points of damage, all damage is nonlethal), and the Vow of Nonviolence. Is there something like a Vow of Nonkilling as well...

    Creatures-By-Poll: Fey

    Some more themes: - helpful fey (Dobie, Booka, Killmoulis, Mincloch - these may be too similar to publish together as-is) - fey society (Brehonmor, Actaeon, Asrai, possibly the seelie/unseelie faeries)

    What a great umm...adventure seed!

    Seeds? Sure, that's what they want you to think... :eek:

    Collaborative Cave!

    Sorry, been very busy at work... Room #12. Trapped by a puddle (EL - 9?) A band of goblins stumbled into this room three weeks ago, hunting for treasure, only to find their way out cut off by a Watery Ooze that had crept out of the depths behind them. After losing a couple of band members to...

    Finally! Dungeon Tiles! But...

    Just a quick heads-up that there are some more previews, plus a downloadable sample up in the DungeonLinX discussion thread on WorldWorks Games. The full name of this set is now officially "DungeonLinX: Lair of the Dragon God", and it has a definite "lava" theme to it. There should be plenty...

    Which fey should be in an article for Dragon magazine?

    Wait - is this in addition to the 5 new Fey we just spent a couple of months working on, or instead of? :confused:

    You're the British military. Defend Avalon from my PCs.

    How much are the bad guys willing to mess with the Well? Blowing up the well itself might be an option. Sure, the groundwater would find another way out, but it might no longer count as coming from the "Chalice Well" (no longer on the correct lay lines etc. Alternatively, concrete barriers...

    Collaborative Cave!

    There's "Dragon Speaker", a female kobold adept6 in room #3. Just high enough to make that DC 26 caster level check... after a lot of trying...

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #10: Rock damage

    I prefer to use the "Larger and Smaller Weapon Damage" table instead - much more complete than the "Increased Damage By Size" table (quick - what would 6d8 increase to?). Besides, the MM still has plenty of the old 3.0 weapon damage inconsistencies they tried to iron out in 3.5. Yes, 2d8 should...

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #7: Hide bonus

    Added the flat +4 in as well (see above). I think this is a reasonable compromise: -10 Hide normally +2 Hide in hills, near streams, or in twilight Spot DC 20 when immobile (always, or only under the conditions above?)

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #7: Hide bonus

    +12 bonus to Hide, for a total of -2? Or a +12 total Hide skill, including size penalties etc.? I have a feeling that if this poll had been about Hide skill *totals*, we would have gotten a very different result... "riparian and/or twilight" should probably be rephrased at least. "Riparian"...

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #12: Giant's Bag?

    I was going to respond with a flippant "No, it stores that Standard treasure under its armpits". On second though... I think that's actually not a bad idea! :D Hey, it's a hill.... it's got plenty of nooks and crannies across its body to store stuff into. It's navel alone is the size of a small...

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #9: Slam damage

    Whoa - I didn't even see this one! :) I would have argued for 1d8: Huge giants have slams that deal 1d6...advancing that one size category gives 1d8. Sounds like I'm already outvoted though...

    Collaborative Cave!

    Man, wouldn't that make for a great start of a campaign? "Last thing you remember, Evillord the Cruel was casting a spell at you and you felt time coming to a standstill. Next thing you know - you are naked, and a kindly priest has just released you from your stasis and told you that 1000 years...

    Collaborative Cave!

    Doesn't mean you can't sell her off to the highest bidder. I'm not sure how much you can have your way with someone who is in temporal stasis, but I bet you can at least undress her and put her on display in your bed chamber! :] :lol: Hey, it's not as if she's gonna *remember* any of this...

    Giant by Poll: Post-crash Poll #7: Hide bonus

    Giving the giant a whopping... +2 to Hide when immobile! Which is entirely irrelevant, since it gets a Spot check of 20 when immobile anyway...
