It's related to a simple logic problem, that's often described a number of different ways. Usually, it's connecting three different utilities (water, power, and gas) to each of three different houses (A, B, and C) with the same caveat: no two lines can cross. Strictly speaking, the puzzle is...

The challenge: How would you reflect a character with multiple personalities, in their D&D build? This could be due to Dissociative Identity Disorder due to past trauma; possession by some kind of external force (benign, hostile, alien, or anywhere in between) that can't break free; or even...

The reason I like Crusher, in addition to being a half-feat, is that on a successful hit (and I do indeed intend to punch people when they're held), I can relocate an enemy by a single space. It might not seem like much, but with no saving throw against it, it can be a powerful tool against...

I'm trying to work out a build for a "naked" grappler, by which I mean, someone who is largely independent of equipment, and whose specialty lay in physical battlefield control. Their goal would not be to deal high damage-per-round, or even one-round nova-burst damage, but rather to lock down...

My group is a fairly large six players, and they're currently toting along three NPCs. Usually, only Torrent assists, while Crystin and Haddin hang back, only participating in RP moments (save in fights that have notable environmental hazards, like the Fire Walls when Indomitability was testing...

Dinner and a Story (E2). Quincy Felthuf is a knight of Lord Rego and is patrolling the road. He offers to have a meal with the heroes and listens intently to their tales of adventure, only scoffing with a sneer at their intention to go to Seaquen. He shares a hatred of Lyceum with Lord Rego...

In tonight's session, the party concluded their fight against the Seela rebels holding Tiljann hostage. Managing to knock them all down without any escapees, they questioned both Tiljann and the rebels about the reason for the attack... after some tense discussions, the rebels admitted they...

My main issue with that is... if the heroes cannot survive in the forest without Stand the Heat (taking constant damage at a high rate without the effect)... why are the Seela seemingly immune to that heat effect? They're not resistant or immune to fire. It can't be specifically due to the...

Exactly what I was wondering, hence my speculation. They DO essentially have the Indomitable template, in terms of story, but being fey creatures, they aren't affected the same way that normal mortals are. Per the campaign guide: This makes me think that they absolutely suffer from the fire's...

But as I understand it, the trees CAN'T handle it... they're on fire, and likely to burn out and die if the resiliancy of Indomitability is removed from them. Timbre herself is aflame; she is perhaps worse than anyone else, BECAUSE she's the spirit of the forest. Why, then, do the seela NOT...

In Chapter 2, the heroes are constantly reminded of the heat and danger of the Innenotdar forest, and how tenuous their status is, given their dwindling number of Stand the Heat potions (if they did not agree to Indomitability's terms). Several others, though, seem to be able to exist in the...

Tonight, the party left Nelle the unicorn and head downstream, encountering the devil Kazyk. They were singularly unimpressed by his offers of alliance, and rejected his offer. Since they hadn't fought yet, he picked a fight... and rolled terribly for initiative, without any element of...

The character opened up Nelle's appearance by choking up, and saying that Unicorns were basically sacred to her people... so that's why she's getting the hair (I decided to give one to the other "maidens" of the party, too - Crystin and Torrent - so it wouldn't seem ENTIRELY like I was favoring...

My plan is to have the Drakewarden's spirit actually be one of Pilus' discarded creations, a semi-etherial amalgamation of numerous draconic bloodlines. The Dragon Spirit monk, on the other hand, has a tenuous tie to the spirit of either Khor-el-Jiese or Time... I'm not entirely sure which way...

So far, Tovolar has been great fun to torment with "short" jokes. He's developed quite a passionate hatred of Haddin, after he unceremoniously dominated the halfling monk, and forced him to execute the Ragesian Inquisitor hunting him. Thus far, he's insinuated several times that he intends to...

Thought I'd follow in @Tolamaker 's shoes and list some thoughts about my journey through GMing this campaign path. The party as a whole has largely stabilized, after some early shuffling and turnover. The Dramatis Personae: Fen Ravenwing, a Taranesti Arcane Rogue. Once an extremely young...

If you're PLANNING on an underwater fight, then you should invest in potions of water breathing, or a cloak of the manta ray, or something similar. But when you're just trying to travel downriver, and your rowboat gets capsized by a troupe of sahuagin and your mage gets dragged under, you'd best...

For real-world examples, you can look at the "survival rule of threes," in terms of how long you have in certain situations. The average person can survive no more than three minutes without air, hours without shelter (in extreme conditions), days without water, or weeks without food. Given...
