    Magic Bazaar Blues

    One way to curb the need for magical items on every NPC you have to generate is to (and I don't know how impossible this might be in your campaign world) have the PCs fight more exotic and magical creatures. Notice how a balor really doesn't need any magical items. Why not? All of the magical...

    Request for some Ideas (my players please avoid)

    For Beasties like that, you aren't the only one. They are definately too good to pass up, even if the PCs have seen them. Hopefully they'll enjoy them just much toe-to-toe as on the their computer screen. When is the game scheduled to take place? Before or after this weekend's gathering down...

    While total defensive do you threaten adjacent squares? Flank?

    My apologies on that one. You are right, I did mean to refer to that. Thank you for straightening that up. It was one of those nights where you get called in and are dying to stay awake. Thanks again. And while the RAW does state that they are not threatened, I do similarly feel that the...

    Request for some Ideas (my players please avoid)

    Heya Dru, Good luck with that battle. One thing I wanted to ask was if that Minotaur Death Knight and Spidermount were the ones that BlackDirge had developed in his thread? They are definately too good to pass up for such an occassion and with the work already done for the stats, it just...

    Dragon's Breath Weapon of Reverse Gravity?

    Howdy all! I wanted to change up a Steel Dragon in my campaign and one idea I had was changing its break weapon (I believe the Steel Dragon usually has a corrosive gas and something else I can't remember) to Reverse Gravity or at least the effects there of. I could see this working as a...

    Gaming Without Alignment

    I've noticed in my games that very few NPCs are truly "Evil". Most of the bad guy NPCs aren't quite evil...they're unscrupolous and immoral and greedy but not evil. To this end, I tend to give a vague description of my Paladin PC's Detect Evil ability. I usually don't make it as simple as...

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    *shivers at the image* Wow Sandain...freaky. I like it a lot. I don't think the heroes have seen an evil intelligent artifact in quite a while or am I mistaken? Heck, I miss TMOSAT...wonder if this ring (should it ever be) could hold up to him? And one other little idea of flavoring might...

    Creating magical items in a rare magic world

    Applying the Used Goods versus New Goods to the real world, look at New and Used Cars. Forgetting about those lemons out there, as soon as you drive a new car off a lot it drops by nearly 1/2 of its value. It sure as heck doesn't many any darn bit of sense, but thats the way it is (and we're...

    Superstition and Murder: A Perdue campaign

    Arrgh...err, um, Mark! You're doing a fine job with these posts. I enjoyed the first posts but that last post really helped put a the overall mood and feel of the campaign very well into perspective. Similarly, it helped bring out the PCs personalities and characters even better. You're...

    Playing the PCs for suckers

    Definately have to agree with Mouse (for the second time tonight). The DM has to still allow the PCs the freedom of play and not rail-roading a group of PCs along. In the same sense, I refuse to metagame it and automatically feel distrustful (especially at those early levels). If my PC fails...

    While total defensive do you threaten adjacent squares? Flank?

    I like to agree with the Mouse. In terms of the rules, you are correct...you cannot threaten a person while fighting defensively. But, I tend to side on this one with the spirit of the rule. An opponent does not know how many attacks you have and if he is being pressed from two sides. The...

    Tanking Classes/PrCs

    I hardly believe it would unbalance anything. If anything, it would likely weaken the PrC for non-dwarves since the very base ability for the class, the Defensive Stance, is based off the character's Constitution and since dwarves recieve a Constitution bonus, it only helps them more...

    [NJ, DE, PA and beyond] Southern Exposure [ENworld get-together]

    Yeah, the page said it would be running from Thursday until Sunday. However, the gathering on Saturday is right up my alley! Whooho! Sounds very very good. I'll make certain I'll be there. If anyone would like to pool some resources and car pool down, I can fit one or two more people into...

    Annointed Knight Ideas

    Seeing what I can again get out of Enworld for some plotting help. My PC has taken the Annointed Knight PrC and I'm looking for a few nifty ideas to help flush out the class. I'm looking to add more spice and life to the class and the gameplay by making sure the alchemy skills manage to work...

    Looking For IC Gaming Weekly News Graphics

    Sorry if the title is a bit misleading. Wasn't quite sure how to word it. I'm looking forward to implimenting a weekly or bi-weekly circular for my PC. It will include a brief summary of the last game, unfinished or hanging hooks that the PC has expressed an interest in exploring, IC rumors...

    [NJ, DE, PA and beyond] Southern Exposure [ENworld get-together]

    Just to make sure I've got this right, the "Get Together" would be on Thursday, correct? I'm hoping I"m wrong here cause I had to schedule a doctor's appointment for that day and would be unable to make any type of gathering (whether food or game) that day... ...it wasn't something I was happy...

    Space Balls-the Role Playing Game

    If they make a Sapceballs: The Role Playing Game then, gosh darnit, they had sure as heck better put out Spaceballs: The Flamethrower like they showed in the movie!

    Hide & sneak attack situation needs help!

    Because once he moves from the shadows he looses his concealment and that (in my book) reveals him. The person on guard isn't only looking during his "initiative" (though no initiative was rolled) but through a round.

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    Oooo...Ivory King Stats...nice... Any chance on seeing what Sobel is packing now? I know the old dragon's stats are back there, but I'm wondering if you might have added anything else to him other then the Ghoul Template. As for the devils... You have a group of shapechangers that I assume...

    Hide & sneak attack situation needs help!

    One option to be able ot SA without cover is the Shadowdancer's Hide in Plain Sight ability. You still need a shadow within 10 feet, but I think their Shadow companion could probably get close enough with a good role without getting too much attention. Then can SA without a problem...
