While this activity is possible, it is also highly improbable and unlikely. That said, battling and defeating an ancient red wyrm is improbably and unlikely... ...so, this is something that would definately take time. One thing it would certainly require is fame and respect and that only...

I run a D&D game in a fairly tradition setting and use a handout written up in the style (columned, pictures etc.) of a newspaper. Since they don't usually have newspapers in the regular fantasy setting, so I don't actually use it in any IC type of way. It would just be too unrealistic. What...

Just a question here to toss out concerning good aligned dragons...just how greedy are they? When I hear good, I do admit that I think of someone willing to give money to help a good cause. A dragon's greed/covetousness of wealth is legendary. So, would a good dragon do this? Would a Gold...

Dragons, in their search for money, will make use of everything they possibly could and, being lawful, he wouldn't break his word. That said, I could see him (this would probably be hundreds of years ago if he is truly old) walking into the high lord's (or mayor's or such) office and demanding...

Shilsen, I think, has a nice idea there. Let there be a few people who use minor magiks and other skills to appear as undead - heck, I say do it purposefully. They might even have access to some necromatic spells and such, but are not undead themselves. The point: to trick any adventurers...

Psion, you actually read my mind. I planned on using that PrC for any purposes/NPCs that would need to fit into that role. Otherwise, I wasn't aware that the Fiend Folio had revisited those rules. ...heck, I wasn't even aware that Fiend Folio came out before BoVD...

I was rereading through the Book of Vile Darkness and came across the rules for possession. I had seen them before but never really paid much attention to them. This time I decided to delve into them a bit and wasn't overly impressed with them, at least not the initial possession part. Is...

I think I'm still remembering and thinking too much of Sepulchrave's Story Hour with this line of thought. What I'm aiming for is a rift in the church - the sect which has been accidentally been worshipping this evil entity is suddenly brought to light. Of course, this brings about a giant...

I have to agree with what was mentioned earlier in the thread about having to know your players. If they, as players, like riddles then I wouldn't be allowing any rolling (though I might allow a roll for a hint if it was a relatively important riddle for that session). If the players do not...

I'm loving the feedback here, especially the input concerning Eberron (have yet to really dig into the book and the mechanics) and the idea put forth by Rel. My biggest concern was that the power being given by the evil god would be tainted with utter evil. Would it be possible for the evil...

I was glancing through the Book of Vile Darkness and an idea caught my mind: Is it possible for a good-aligned cleric to be "tricked" into worshipping an evil deity (or, as the BoVD seems to push, a demon/devil)? And when I ask this, I mean in the same idea that clerics and paladins recieve...

I don't think I'd fiddle with the spells as written. If you do that, then the PCs might start expecting you to fiddle with other rules and such. To me, it might be asking for too much trouble (of course, chances are you know by now if your group is like that so that might not be a relevant...

My campaign tends to focus on a few high-powered magical objects. I don't tend to go over the limit/suggestions of gp per PC level but this is one way to keep the magic down - magical items tend to have a more "legendary" status (even if not artifacts) when most of the magical items are more...

If the party knows where and when the baddies are coming from then, as others have said, that won't be a problem. I would add a handful of smaller first and second level baddies just to give the PCs a few more people to have fun with. Having only one or two baddies allows the PCs to really...

I'd also award the XP. I know that experience is an in game type of thing for a character according to the books, but I also think of it as an OOC type of thing for the player. He's still there and wants to play and is willing to put a foot forward and even take part of the load off the DM by...

Just a bump. I love the characters and the models and want to hear more and see more.

This is one point I totally forgot to mention earlier in the discussion and something I've always felt (even if I forgot to mention...thanks Ahnehnois)... ...bards are not specialists. They are the jack of all trades with good skill points, decent BAB, and decent spellcasting (better, I think...

I don't have a page number, but it is in the Magic Overview section of the SRD under the Divination section. I've quoted it below. Scrying: A scrying spell creates an invisible magical sensor that sends you information. Unless noted otherwise, the sensor has the same powers of sensory acuity...

True, I didn't understand what you were saying. But, again, I guess I just have a slightly different view on it. I know in combat I had plenty of fun. I could probably count on my hands the number of enemies my bard killed in combat (whether through melee or ranged combat) over those 10...

The bard is knowledgable, but is he social? Disregarding any house rules, the wizard is about as social as my dead aunt Edna. Using a general point spread, wizards generally care very little about Charisma either, insead relying on Intelligence, Constitution, and Dexterity the most (again...
