    Arrows...

    Generally we don't bother with regular arrows. Even inexpensive bags of holding/quivers/haversacks can hold a bazillion arrows. It's not worth tracking down to the last arrow, provided the character has taken adequate steps to be sure they have a supply consistent with how fast they go through...

    Survivability for "Heart of Nightfang Spire"?

    If you're the DM, then two suggestions. 1. Take a match and burn the module. Send the ashes to Bruce Cordell 2. Failing that, you really need to review the module throroughly. SPOILERS BELOW That statue with the riddle is gonna kill someone most likely. It's just arbitrary and mean...

    Survivability for "Heart of Nightfang Spire"?

    I will put this as calmly, clearly, and directly as I can. DON'T GO!!! I've seen the horror that is Nightfang Spire. And I'm quite serious in saying what I said. Here's why: 1. Your party is small, and lacks the clerical punch to have even a prayer of surviving let alone winning. 2. The...

    DM seeks help in 'touchy' situation

    Two sides to this issue - first is the . . . offer of services (let's call it that) in exchange for considerations for the dead pc. The other is the dead PC. As for the <ahem> offer, I'm not sure I even want to touch that. Personally, I'm just fine with bribery, and I know a lot of folks with...

    Help! Entering a new group.....

    Unless sorcerer is only a sideline for that Sor/Clr, you're going to be really underpowered in the healing department. A multiclass cleric has a hard time keeping up. I'd suggest cleric or maybe druid to add oomf in that department.

    Revised DR

    I am certainly hoping that is the case. Part of the problem is I'm a little too used to computer RPG's where the designers put in a fix without thinking it all the way through, and that certainly biases me here. What about it? Reference please ;) It's not mentioned on the 3.5e info page, nor...

    Revised DR

    No, I can't say "Power attack" if I'm an archer. And that's who this change is going to put the shaft to. DR 5? Sure I can live with that. But DR10 or 15?!? One of the things about archery is that you do low damage per shot, but you can get more attacks and get them to hit. This has ups and...

    Flying over the battlemat

    Typically we put a big fat d6 under flying characters. You can use the number to help indicate altitude. A die with more numbers would be nice but harder to get a miniature to stay on them (a big d12 maybe?)

    Adventuring 101

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Adventuring 101 The "risk of failure" thing applies only to Take 20, not to Take 10. People seem to make this mistake a lot. Failure has no bearing on it. You don't often fail to tie your shoes after all - that's how to remember take 10. I think a lot of people get take 10...

    How long does it normally take to write up one installment of your Story Hour?

    Generally what happens is I take extremely brief notes on my laptop during the game - mostly just to help my memory. Then Monday morning I sit down and type up the story hour, which covers one game session (4-5 hours is normal for us). That takes me a good couple hours - usually I'll have it...

    Looking for Archer stuff

    I believe there was a dragon article that had arrows with alchemist's fire in the tips. Might have been the one on elves - it also had arrows with a thunderstone tip. It wasn't a hard extension to put other alchemical substances in it or things like holy water.

    Looking for Archer stuff

    Hm. Sounds like you're mostly looking for feats. I do remember the Dragon article you're talking about but can't remember much more. You could try. But ranged weapons do half damage to objects, and piercing usually half again. Not practical.

    Running targets and archery....

    If someone wants an AC bonus while they're moving, then they can opt to go defensive, which lets you move and you get +4 to your AC. And there's the quoted table regarding running. But if you mean just while a guy is moving from place A to place B with his regular movement, then no, there's no...
