    Giant Size

    It is not too much of a boon, even for (or especially for) a crazy War domain combat-optimized cleric (which this particular PC is not). I have my own ways of controlling miracles. :eek: I think this is everyone's secret dream. :D I just want to make sure that you get to shine in your...

    Giant Size

    oh! I did not realize that the Spell Compendium was essentially core only. Thanks for that tip. One more set of questions: say the caster turns Colossal. The chart says that he becomes 72' tall, but that his space is 30'. What the heck? Am I to assume he is crouched or something? Or is...

    Giant Size

    Giant Size (Complete Arcane) didn't make it into the Spell Compendium. Does this mean that it's problematic somehow? Like, the SC only compiles "worthy" spells from the earlier books? I'm going to allow one of my players access to it (via miracle), but I'm wondering if there's something of...

    New Arcane Classes; Warmage, Beguiler, Dread Necromancer...

    whew! That's a lot of work to do on the Monster Manual. What are you going to do with monsters that cast spells as sorcerers? araneae? driders? dragons?!

    Your Experiences with Non Core Characters

    Am DMing a Fighter 10 / Holy Liberator 7. meh, he's OK, his aura of courage helps the party more than I'd like :] , and he never remembers that he has spells and smite evil, so he's not making full use of the class. He finally got his horsey companion, but hasn't made much use of it because...

    Expedition To.... / Which Expedition do you want to see next?

    As soon as I saw this thread title, I thought, "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks." Of course, in the new version, the PCs manage to activate the ship which takes them elsewhere... Then again, GDQ woohoo! Wasn't A part of that series, too? I never got to play the As.

    An Evil party... Troublesome?

    I haven't read the thread, so forgive me if someone else has said this. I think an evil party works best as Lawful Evil, with an explicit agreement that handles things like treasure distribution, healing, unconsciousness, death, and resurrection. I can't imagine a NE or CE party member...

    my banhammer, let me show you it

    Kudos on wielding the banhammer http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=201808 It seems that most of us took more offense at promotion of $30 software theft than at the, um, reasoned response further down the thread. It seems like this is not uncommon behavior for this particular user; feel...

    Spell Turning vs Dispel Magic

    Yes, and this is the text that I have always used to make this combo devastating for the dispeller (if his dispel check fails against spell turning, that is). edit: Does it matter if it helps the PCs? They never bother with dispelling; this was a BBEG using it against the PC cleric. (he beat...

    What do you carry your stuff in when going to a game?

    since the birth of my son, they're all at my house. Before that, though, it was either a milk crate if I was DMing or a backpack if I was playing.

    Help with a deceptive humanoid / abberation

    a second vote for elan, here

    Here's a tool that I use a lot:

    To be fair, he said that this is only for serious DMs, so I guess it's OK he smokes the cr-izz-ack.

    Spell Compendium: Moon Bolt

    well, yeah, it's a fantastic spell, though not as useful as often as you might fear. And, of course, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. :]

    Red Hand of Doom - help for a new GM

    yeah, supposedly red hand of doom is set in a muggy hot summer, but if you made it rain all the time, or even made it a snow campaign, then that changes the battlefield a lot i'm not sure i would bother ramping things up too much, maybe just an extra goblinoid here and there. the party will...

    Need help with my BBEG fight

    I like the Dragon's Grave map, maybe with an entry similar to that column chamber in the Flooded Sanctum map. To make this interesting, you probably want a very large chamber with randomly placed columns, blocking motion. Make for wide-open areas (better for Huge creatures to move and attack)...

    Correct ruling on spell-like ability caster level?

    No. SLA are tied to racial hit dice. If you "advanced" the creature in its non-ranger hit dice, then yes, the SLA CL should increase.

    Passing notes at the table

    of course If I can't get a player to get up and follow me out of the room to tell him/her something, then I have to resort to note-passing. I've given up on that, though, since (s)he will always read my note aloud. :\
