They liked it? Then leave it. They didn't like it quite *that* much? Then tone it down a bit. Leave that intrigue but add a little more "bashing down the front door" kinds of things.

Oh yeah...ideas getting yoinked from here... Thats my way of saying that there are some great ideas here and could really go a long way.

Heya all, I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out on trying to break down the cost for a Hat of Disguise. The 3.5 DMG lists it at a price of 1,800gp. So, I tried to break it down pricewise. I figured it to be a Continuous Item, so it would be Spell Level x Caster Level x...

ECL is also used to figure up the money a character has available to him/her when starting at a level above first. Obviously an ECLed character will always be starting above first, but you know what I mean.

Concerning question number one about the PrC's, I have no problem allowing a character to have two or three PrC's (I've only had one character with two of them thus far in our 11th level game and a character looking at a second one) as long as it is properly RPed. If the character has the...

I really do love these characters and the constant banter back and forth amongst them all. Is it really like that at the table or several times worse/better (depending on your view on it all)? PS - Thanks for the update!

To settle this problem I think we only have one true reference to refer to and that would be Life of Brian. Let us just fast forward to the scene involving the "Go Home Romans" graffiti and see how they pronounce it. I'm sure everyone knows how historically accurate Monty Python is.

Well, I don't know how well this might work out with your schedule, especially since you mention playing when your spouse feels like it, but you could try to play online. There are usually chat based games flying about where a group of heros and a DM get together about once a week (this varies...

As an answer to "why you keep seeing it" I can tell you I've heard it from two of my latin professors (one in high school and one in college) and I've known I've seen it in writing at least two times, one of which was in a history book of mine in my Ancient Rome class. I know that doesn't...

Latin was spoken for well more then just a few hundred years. It was nearly 700 years from the founding of Rome to its "collapse" (scholars argue over this date since there are several possible events to point at for the collapse). Nonetheless, it was spoken by every citizen (if you couldn't...

For a general idea, I remember I was in a BR game once that involved us accidentally stumbling across a lost elven kingdom. The catch was that those few survivors of the initial catostraphe were magically trapped in a curse where they were trapped in some type of time stasis on another plane...

In order to make sure the bridge fell, I'd have the constructs (not too familiar with the warforged, so this might not work with them) digging out the bridge's foundations for a week or so before hand. Without the need for air, they could easily just sit down there and weaken the supports...

It was a mistake but since everyone seemed to walk away happy, then everything seems good. I'm in the same boat as Bayushi: once the round is complete then that is it. If you forgot, then oh so sorry (of course, the same applies to me as the DM). Of course, exceptions are made and I think I...

To figure the final cost I wouldn't have broken it down but would have rather just subtracted the Breastplate cost from the final cost to get 25,050 gp. After that I would have added the 100 gp for the chain shirt and 1,000 go for the mithril. Yep, the same price. Only thing I see is that you...

(1) The average size of a war ship. And just to point out, I've seen references to Junk ships being in excess of 150 meters in length (yes, 150 meters). Perhaps they were wrong, but I have seen this. I consider Eberron to be a somewhat "advanved" setting in terms of technology, so I would...

One thing I'd like to clarify in the question is is the DM taking the items or are the PCs (in a fit of stupidity, which we all know we sometimes suffer from) losing them? If its the former and he's doing it just to irk you, then I agree it isn't right. Off-hand, that is really the only...

When I put together my own homebrewed settings, I do both. Firstly, I put together some overarching plot or theme or idea. Usually, my campaigns are epic and long-standing (by epic I mean "world saving" and not necessarily 20th+ level). That is my basic premise. I'll map out a few bad guys...

Ugh...November Football....cold stuff. I remember those games when I lived in Maryland and was in high school. Of course, after about three or four minutes there was enough adrenaline pumping I could have played in Antartica and wouldn't have noticed. Good luck with it all pogre! Its just...

Hi all, I'm going to finally get started on a calendar for a homebrew game. Just looking at reality of where our modern day calender comes from and how it evolved, I have more then a few ideas and notions about how to create it. However, one question I had was how might a fantasy setting...

I agree with Dagger75 - your character doesn't even have to show he's brilliant. The easiest way is to obviously use some big words (remember, if there is a two syllable word that has a four syllable synonym, use the four syllable one as it sounds smarter: i.e, teacher -> educator ->...
