    Players Want To Be Led Around By The Nose and Have NPC's Do Everything For Them

    One thing that I have to ask when this comes up is how you think you're doing at providing clues, stimulus, and descriptions of environments / people in those environments. If you know you're providing points of interest for players to go to, and the cast of characters is fleshed out, great...

    Knight Core class, Paladin PRC

    I'm certain the idea of the paladin as a PRC is nothing new, but figured i'd post my classes for suggestions and thoughts. In my campaign, I've chucked the Paladin into a 10 level PRC that isn't easy to get into, and made a Knight class to keep the core classes level. Advanced apologies for my...

    Fireballs into melee?

    The fireball booming at one's feet seems a bit much... "I want to hit only those guys so I point my finger at the floor between my feet," eh?? Personally, if I were to house rule this (and I probably wouldn't..) ability to place things exactly, I'd ask for a chosen spot, figure out how much...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] countering Ray of Enfeeblement

    D'oh.. 3.5 PHB explicitly says "(such as a ray of enfeeblement)" in the text of what Lesser Restoration removes. My bad.

    D&D 3.x [3.5] countering Ray of Enfeeblement

    Ray of Enfeeblement causes a penalty to Strength, it does not deal ability damage. Only Greater Restoration addresses the removal of penalties to attributes, the rest handle drains and damages. Penalties are inferior to damage and drain in their duration, and superior in their difficulty to...

    [FR] Lantan Gunpowder Weapons?

    3.5 DMG p. 145 Renaissance Weapons: Pistol and Musket. The rules are as simple for them as they are for most 3.5 weapons... which is about as complex as I'd want to get with anything. I always pause when I see DMs go overboard with rules for how firearms work but don't apply the "Nifty" to the...

    [FR] Lantan Gunpowder Weapons?

    The DMG is a good start... assuming you're using DnD anyway.

    Is this an evil act, or not?

    Sounds imperfect good.. which is spot on when it comes to most solutions that mortal minds can comprehend. I say leave the REALLY REALLY REALLY Good and Law and Evil and Chaos to the extraplanar stuff and the gods etc.

    Rules Lawyers Unite: How often do you correct a DM?

    Players in my group blert out rules like we're all playing Jeopardy. "What is a 'Five Foot movement does not provoke AoOs?' Alex." Our DM (and me when I'm DM) never really get an opportunity to make any major rule errors.

    Ideal Number of Players?

    I also went with 5, if for no other reason than the potential absent player doesn't make me go back to the drawing board.

    I'm a bad combat DM

    I tend to plot out game chapters like Unit plans, game sessions like Lesson plans, and encounters like various activities. This means that there's a big point, with steps getting to that point, and lots of ways that go on to show it that the players partake in. Saying this is basically a setup...

    How tough should a DM be?

    Be as tough or as not tough as you wish... but be consistent. My campaign's rather young, but from the get-go I've made it clear that my world will act as realistically as I can. I've had guards arresting serfs who were trying to steal into cities, I've had mean and kind nobles, I've tried for...

    Has everyone gotten the books already?

    I can't speak for everyone... but yes, we've all got it. =D

    Should commoners (and everyone else) be a bit more durable?

    Imagine a 3 foot long sword. realize that a first level commoner can be stabbed in the gut with one and either survive or enjoy a painful death for quite some time. If the commoner survives, even from near death, he or she will be alright in maybe more than a week's time. I think the low hp...

    Celestial "Protective Aura" question

    Right, its the minor globe of invulnerability spell that is centered upon a point in space. the fact that the spell acted both as a MCVE and a MGOI was what got me all confused, as the two work differently, at least last I checked

    Celestial "Protective Aura" question

    Does the protective aura of a celestial eminate as per magic circle from a specific point made by the celestial or does it always center on the celestial? Or.. does it simply function as the benefits of the magic circle and lesser globe without actually being these globes? yeargh!

    Which cosmology is more compelling to you?

    I like the first one, because it presents a nemesis who may return.. However, I also really like the second one on condition that this dispersed evil has the explicit potential to spawn an unknown, equally powerful evil of sufficient mystery and presence to catch and hold my attention.

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Ring of Feather Fall (Brain-Bleeder from my Players)

    60 and 5 and 60 and 5 or simply have a 1 in 13 chance of landing at falling speed from a height of 5 ft.. if that does any damage anyhoo.
