    New character help

    I'd need more information on what kind of fighting style you wanting to give any good suggestions. For example, answering weather you'd want Melee or ranged attacks by using magic or a weapon would help filter the list.

    How many tabletop roleplaying games did you play in 2011?

    Played- 1 D&D 4E game. 3 D&D 3.5E games, give two of those were the same game, but we had to start over due to new players. Only playing in one game at the moment, but eager for the 4E game to start again. DM'd- 2.5 D&D 3.5E games (One of which was my first time DMing. A month after I played...

    Final Fantasy style "Blue Mage"?

    I agree with this. I think a refluffed Battlemind could work for this pretty well. Instead of mentally hurting the dragon that breathed flames on his friends with his Mind Spike he spews his own fire right back at the dragon. Also refluff his other powers to him mimicking what he's seen monsters...

    Benifit of being poor?

    So I'm working on a caste system for my next campaign, and I want there to be a different mechanical benefit for each caste. So far I've managed to give the different castes benefits that are both interesting mechanically and fluff...y. For example, the Noble Caste starts play with a servant and...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Had a Paladin try to convert a Bulleywug to Pelor by slamming him down on the alter it just tried to sacrifice a innocent boy on. The Paladin raised up his Holy Symbol and and brought it down on the poor creature while telling him to repent. When I asked him to make a religion check he fumbled...

    Is A Vampiric Dragonwere Giant A Compelling Monster?

    That actually sounds like a interesting monster. It's both subtle and terrible. It the kind of monster that could tag along with the party while it looks for a suitable virgin for it's master. The party could even help him find one unknowingly! Also, the tongue thing is a nice touch. Makes the...

    My players are in a wee bit of trouble...

    You should tone the bad guy down. Not to make it a fair fight, but so that the fight is more painful to go through. That should teach PCs to not be cleaver. On a more serious note, Divine intervention- A God seeing their bravery decides to reward them with a boon, like maybe a temporary surge...

    Session 1...Creating characters in character. Roleplaying into a cohesive party.

    I'm thinking of using this in my next game. But instead I'll be the guy "Hiring" the PCs to join my team. Then before the game begins, my character would leave to handle some personal matters and not return. Thus, Plot Hook.

    Your ideal D&D movie/TV show?

    Isn't The Gamers: Dorkness Rising a D&D movie? Don't see a "D&D moive" getting more epic than that.

    Should Dumb Players Be Slapped?

    House Rule: When the DM breaks character just to stare at you, slap yourself. You know you deserve it.

    Necessary for Far Eastern based setting

    I'm currently working a setting based on feudal japan and china (mixed with other countries) for my next DND game. I've read through wiki articles and the Oriental Adventures book, but still feel a craving for more ideas to pull this setting together. I have the basic concept down for what I...

    How much is too much (Race Bloat)

    Whenever I do world building, I always hate writing fluff on races. I mean yeah, there are always a few races that pop out and help add to the world around them, but some are just a pain in the butt. For example, I have never been able to come up with good fluff for Teiflings. Not that I dislike...

    Good traps to use in tight quarters?

    Another idea would be to use traps that lure PC into abuses one by one. Using pit traps as an example again: The trap it self is relatively harmless, But when the Clunky Fighter falls down the hole he will be surrounded by Kobolds whose teamwork match even his greater fighting ability. The other...

    Good traps to use in tight quarters?

    A pit traps. One on the floor, and on both walls. The only ways across would be to jump, or use the monkey bars. The monkey bars are layered in grease making them very slippery. One of the monkey bars is really a lever, and will unleash a magical wave of force that knocks a creature prone. But...

    Assassin, Battlemind, and Vampire

    With Mind Spike it's nice if the other PCs are willing to risk taking damage. I had a buddy who teamed his Battlemind with a Monk. Battlemind would mark everything, then the monk would move in, provoke OA from everyone, allowing the Battlemind to Mind Spike everything, the Monk would do his...

    The Humble Staff ??

    You can't use a staff as an implement unless you have the ability to use staff implements. (That sounds redundant...) Fighters are proficient with staffs as weapons, not implements.
