Ah, actual items from real life? That requires DM approval and she is afraid of anything I ask her. :P Who needs string, when you have unlimited free slings!

I think too many players get ultra-defensive if the DM tries to do anything at any time for any reason. It is a problem that I had when I first started playing, but as long as houserules aren't specifically targeting me (which sometimes they do and I respond with the appropriate measure) I get...

Though I am opposed to the hijacking of a player's spell, I've had worse things happen. Plus, this sounds like an interesting way to fulfil roleplay that should have happened anyway.

Ragmon I plan to use my imagination against everything, with the ability to back it up with combat rolls. Also I have a link to at least 15 equipment handbooks that I know of, it was a great suggestion I've been using.

She's new to DMing, I didn't throw a Rust Monster at her when she was a player in my campaign. I won't as a player myself. No dinosaurs, I'm pretty sure otherwise I might have to force our ranger to take a certain raptor. I plan on attempting to make as many traps as possible, counter trapping...

PBEM66 Thanks for all the ideas, I forgot how useful smokesticks can be! I'm not the biggest fan of the tanglefoot bag and the other bag, it has always seemed either too weak or too easy for a situation, I don't like I win buttons ALL the time. I've already taken many of the hiding spot...

I have as many knowledge checks as I can squeeze out of the build without focusing on it, because our parties generally heavily rely on those to advance plots. I know the whole Tome of Magic scares the DM and I didn't help it with a binder idea I mentioned to her once in passing. Hexblade, I...

Hello All, A friend of mine that is new to DMing has decided to start an extremely low-magic setting and our regular group of folks are joining in on the fun. It is so low-magic that most if not all real casters are banned, as in all the major casters are banned and only the bard, pally, and...

That really has more to say about 4th edition than Epic Level transition. The power of Epic Level play is supposed to be insanely high, you are basically living legends times a thousand. Hercules post-godhood. It depends on your setting the most and the only thing I know for certain is...

I agree with Dandu, your candy may be delicious, but I'm still not getting in your van.

Elminster?

I know you might have already decided, but the plant domain allows you to rebuke/command plant creatures as an evil cleric would undead. I know my druid/cleric personally uses this to her extreme advantage.

"I love it when a plan come together."

It was fair. That was probably the least lethal trap I've seen in a while at any CR level, granted my traps are pretty extreme for what they are against. Taking a 20 and moving through the dungeon takes a long time, but it is legal. If there are any time constraints you can't really do this, at...

Now, Silly surprises I've pulled out of my rear: We were in a cave made of natural stone and mud and we stumbled into a large room filled with Kobolds, seeing as how even weak creatures could eventually harm us I decided that turning the mud and stone of the ceiling into sand would qualify as...

I think that the topic which was fun to read until hissy-fits were pitched, should continue. Insults have been slung around and Hussar has clear issues with GMs and provoking it isn't going to get this topic going any further. Act like mature human beings and stop bantering openly about it like...

Basically, what everyone has said about it being a mental exercise is correct. Heck, I am one to try to create extremely powerful characters, my most recent wtf was a fear stacking wizard that could win a fight with a cantrip vs anything, but even if I were to play that I would create weaknesses...

A) I don't think anyone can XP dandu anymore, because in all arguments, he wins. B) You CAN wear 10/20/100/1,000,000 magic rings, but only two are active at any time and there are no rules for changing the active ones aside from just putting it on. Unless there is a rule stating otherwise that...

I wouldn't think of it as a penalty, considering how low the check is in most games for riding, but it is a result of the ease of travel. If someone falls off, they should expect to be swarmed by local scavengers that usually follow giant predators similar to these.

Me personally as a player I absolutely love to surprise my GM, there is no greater fun for me honestly. It isn't a "haha I fooled you thing" (well once, but then that was more of an egocentric GM moment), but it is usually a "this would be BA right now...". I am known in my circle of players as...
