Is this fortress old, or new? If it's new, most noncombatants like families etc will be beyond the walls of the fortress. A new fortress is built first and foremost to protect vs the initial swattings that any raider or foriegn nation worth it's salt would send at it, trying to destroy it or...

Five guys hanging around chucking dice on a weekday night makes for zero romance and what in our gaming. "Hey, is the *female NPC* pretty?" "Sure." "Cool, I try to get her in bed by the end of the night." "... Done. Moving on, there's also a *30 second description of the cool character who...

Racial levels exist because a Bugbear with 3 levels of Bugbear (or is it 1 level? I can't remember if the LA [+2 for BB] is applied before completion of the Racial levels) is supposedly on par with a Human or Elf with three class levels. It may be a hold over from previous editions, but Savage...

When people have 8 potions and 5 scrolls, its no problem. When they've got 16 suits of Studded Leather, 32 Javelins, 16 Morning Stars, 20,000 silver, 1 dead companion, and 1 donkey that we start having issues. Ah... Goblins. =)

ECL = Level Adjustment + Racial HD. So a Bugbear is an ECL +4 (3 from its HD, one from LA) If your character is going to be ECL 5, he'll only have one class level. If you're going by Savage Species rules, then the only way an monstrous class can advance into classes is by completing its...

For starters.. More concerned with infiltrating adventurers = Cursed Items sprinkled around the place. Cursed Items + Alarm spells = Good ambush material. Also.. if they're worried about infilitration through magical means, they should look into getting one of the more powerful of their...

Dagger/shortsword fighters are great in grappling situations (not that all grappling situations are great mind you!) As the weapon is light, you get to use it while grappling. Humanoid opponent can try to use one of his weapons if light, but more likely will be in the "I Demand d8-2d6 weapons"...

Be that as it may, I was still hoping for advice on running things that would be interesting for an evil PC or two. It's only fair that if I'm presenting opportunities for good PCs to show their goodness or be tempted by the evil people, that I should present evil PCs with moments to shine and...

As a DM, how do you (or a hypothetical how Would you) handle evil PCs? Beyond putting a "no evil" stamp on the campaign that is... I'm looking for advice on making plots and stories and issues for evil characters, and just dealing in general with characters who have little problem dealing with...

Also in the qualified but never bothered route (128 math, 148 english, 168 spatial.. go go shapes!).. what's an 8 year old going to do with an official Mensa coffee mug? Why pay a membership fee to spend time with people when there are plenty of just fine people in the neighborhood? That was...

BIG LOB MAKES HIS MOVE! Wee!! Definitely going to be picking up this.

Spell Resistance 1 + character level is pretty useless in my opinion... if you're facing an NPC spell caster equal level to the party, that'll mean its one level higher than you.. there's no way it could fail the SR Check. It seems to be a strong +1 ECL race.. due mostly to the stat bonuses...

Its also in the epic level handbook.

Creatures denied their dex to ac do not get the chance to perform AoOs. and.. Stunned creatures are denied their dexterity to ac. so.. Creatures that are stunned do not get the chance to perform AoOs.

I've known players who have been in mixed SW games.. and the two who played a non jedi almost always felt excluded- and this was in a group that adhered to the genre pretty strictly. The Jedi would be called to council, the non Jedi were not involved. The Non Jedi found their plot hooks in non...

heh. I'd just hand the DM my character sheet and say "Guess I didn't realize this fellow was an NPC." if I was repeatedly told what I could or could not do (when what I wanted was in reason.. like starting a combat or saying something in character). I recommend just being open and clear about...

Will the food never go bad as its magical? It'd be nifty if there's the Wish Apple that's thousands of years old. Altogether it seems like a fine feat, as long as its prereqs balance it as suggested (as its better than brew potion). Nice flavor (guffaw).

Unless I'm mistaken (and if I am its no surprise), a Large dire ape wielding a reach weapon already gets 15 ft of reach (10 ft reach normally, and an extra five for the reach of the weapon). If the weapon grew along with you, you'd reach an obnoxious 20ft zone of combat reflexing AOOs. With...

Excellent input, I've made alterations to the class and added an edit history at the bottom for reference. Please let me know what your thoughts of the multiclass restriction penalty for the Ainar are.. with the emphasis on character level, I had to introduce a mechanic to prevent someone...

Thanks for the input =) Putting it to 1/day is probably pretty good.. the only issue is currently having a Knight pick an assignment that cannot be done in the course of that one day... "Go through the dungeon and save the princess!" means they get a benefit till it happens. Which means there...
