Oh shyeesh... In a campaign I was a PC in for years, lets see: Walking, Horse, Tree Stride, inside the belly of a continent spanning rhemoraz, inside of a magical demon starship, and a couple teleport spells. Now, I'll be DMing it with the former DM taking the seat as a PC. The character is...

The taxes are the big thing. In truth, I might not start them out against the tyrant. Let their first adventure be something else...perhaps some gnolls seen in the nearby area that they are called to scout since it will take several days to get the militia together. During this event, make...

My normal answers concerning mithral for the elves are usually follow partially along the lines of mythusmage by being natural. In my upcoming game, I'm debating about whether to have them made some creatures (whether silkworms or some other creature) or from a plant along the lines of the...

Wow...this page was just what I was looking for. I had planned to put several "useless" magical items into a wizard's safehouse just as decoration (things that he had collected over the years and found humorous) and had started to mull over the options, but this threads really helps with that...

I just wanted to agree with well...yeah, everyone else here in saying that I love the picture also. As soon as I saw it my mouth dropped and I was like..."Wow". Unfortunately, there isn't too much artwork nowadays that gets that type of attention, but that was certainly one piece of artwork.

On the rare occasions that I have just started to DM, I don't find myself worried about upsetting either the players or the characters. My player and I have known each other now for about 9 years and he's DMed me for about 5-6 of those years. As such, I have a fair idea of the game style he...

Hey everyone, I bought the Modern d20 when it first came out along with Urban Arcana. I greatly enjoyed the system and its flexibility. After that, though, I had to pull back from the Modern d20 aspect and delved back into the fantasy genre. Now, I'm looking to hop a little back into the...

Howdy all, I'm just curious if anyone has House Ruled anything in terms of a character being able to determine another character's offensive and defensive prowess? If a PC sees an NPC fighting, how tough would it be to determine how much more potent they are? In theory, I think it would be...

I do agree with Pendragon...the use of Divinations really does answer a lot of questions concerning a person's intent. The next question, on my list, would be: "Oh High Pelor, should I allow Paladin Bob to rule our kingdom?" Gotta wonder what the answer would be then. Of course, this takes...

The items will be with the mount. Below is the text from the SRD with the pertinent line. Also, when killed, those items will come back. From the SRD: Each time the mount is called, it appears in full health, regardless of any damage it may have taken previously. The mount also appears...

Hey Blackdirge, It's nice to see this thread. I love your big bad guys (and look forward to using a few once my new game starts up) and I can't wait to use some of these small nasties to help spice things up. Just wanted to say thanks. Also, two questions: Are you still taking requests for...

I'm sure this question has come up before, but I can't find it in any of the older threads, so I'm gonna give it another go. Does the Maximum Dexterity Bonus of Armor apply also to the Dexterity Bonus applied to an attack roll if a PC has Weapon Finesse? Thanks!

I just wanted to add my voice to those for the 2e Complete Necromancer. It's a very nice book with great spells, background, flavoring, and ideas. Very well done. Also, the 2e Van Richten's Guides are excellent also. I have some of the compiled ones and they are well-rounded. The rest I...

These aren't all against the BBEG, but they work against the baddies: "I prefer to beat my opponents the old fashioned way - brutally..." "I'll snatch your nuts off and use them for dice!" "If I were going to kill you, I'd be stepping over your body on my way out the door." "Do you think...

Considering that the party was well prepared for the encounter, that certainly changes things. Certain beasties out there suffer heavily at being known about and being properly prepared for. A Rust Monster is easily circumvented by not having metal weapons and armor and then is a weak beastie...

Thanks all. I think I will stack the VoB levels with the mount since a wyvern can been seen as a lesser form of a dragon. I can see how that PrC could stack with such an ability with such a creature. As for the Lay on Hands, I might stack that with the Annointed Knight just as a little extra...

Howdy all! Have a question and was hoping for some other opinions. I have a player who will be coming into a solo campaign as a Paladin 5/Annointed Knight 3/Vassal of Bahamut 3. In the campaign, the LG God is also the creator of the goodly dragons and referred to as Bahamut and has several...

Having a psionic monster haunting them might be very interesting, especially if that psionic monster is the trillith they already killed way back in Eversink. Out of all the villians, he is probably the third most memorable thus far in the campaign next to Soder and the Ivory King. I say bring...

Thank you all. I was contemplating it some more on the way over and have to admit that I was still slightly uncertain. I had figured his way of chaos would have him freeing himself as soon as possible (with whatever promises he could make to the noble) and then perhaps going on some sneaky...

I was working out my campaign a little more, filling in the details before the game gets going, and decided to go with a handful of demons that had allied themselves with...well, anyway, one demon has been trapped beneath a noble manor house now for over 500 years but has managed to weaken his...
