    Awarding XP: Animal Companion, Familiar, Cohort?

    Encountered separetely, a cohort is just another NPC, and defeating them earns the PCs XP. Encountered with the character to whom they are a cohort, they are a class feature. Look at it this way: the cohort may provide a slight advantage to the NPC with the leadership score, but at an...

    ability roll cheating

    I use this method, too, but only because I want the PCs to seem insanely powerful. I want players to be thrilled with the stats they roll. Then I make all the monsters and NPCs more powerful, too. If the players want to cheat, cheat along with them so that you can gear the challenges to the...

    Half Yaun-ti

    Nope, but there's a half-medusa somewhere on malhavoc.com Sean K. Reynolds designed it for Skreyn's Register: Bonds of Magic.

    What would be an appropriate CR adjustment for this dragon defending her lair?

    I treat the CR for all dragons as though they were encountered in their lair, PCs fully aware and as prepared as their resources and time allows to fight This Specific Dragon, while the dragon doesn't know their coming. I reduce the XP award of any dragon encountered in any other circumstances...

    Upcoming WotC books

    I have to say: I really miss the thumbnail list down the left-hand side of the news page which used to list the upcoming WotC products: I was looking through the Wizards catalogue here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/list&brand=dnd&year=2005&tablesort=1 and found more than one...

    Dungeon #126. Anyone have it yet?

    Sorry, obviously, I was unclear. What I mean is that a Build-Your-Own-Module article would be more readily costomizable to a particular group of PCs (melee-oriented vs. investigative vs. spellcasting dependant vs. riddle-solvers) or a particular group of players (those who only build one of the...

    The Age of Worms Overload is here!

    Oh! Oh! I've got the first four pages already! Just 25 left to go. I might get to go to bed early. I hate dial-up. EDIT: 20 down, 9 to go.

    Dungeon 126

    Okay, thanks, Simplicity. I suspected that I must have missed the thread. I never get my Paizo mags first. reveal, so you know, I wasn't ignoring you: my dial-up connection just went wonky for a while and I didn't even see you message.

    Reset post count to zero: is it possible?

    I'd like to do that, please. 800 is a nice, round number, but not as round as 0, and therefore not as nice. Thank you.

    RANT: My sister thinks you're all losers

    Ironically, YOU do have value to her: as low as her opinion is of D&D and ENWorld, she's really excited about d20 Linguistics.

    I love that song.

    PC race Moggae

    Anyone else care to chime in? I respect your opinion, Demiurge, but I feel like this version errs on the side of being underpowered. I think that even with a +4 to Int, it would still be balanced at LA +0. What says the peanut gallery?

    RANT: My sister thinks you're all losers

    This assertion And this one are mutually exclusive, IMHO. You're an entertainer, a publisher, a world traveller, and, most importantly, a reasonable guy. These are things of substantiative value.

    RANT: My sister thinks you're all losers

    What gets me though, is that she was talking specifically about those who post here. Joshua, you're a freak. Crothian's a freak. Morrus and Eric Noah and Queen Dopplepopolis (sorry about the spelling, DP) and Piratecat and Darkness and Reveal and Diaglo are all freaks. AS THOUGH SHE KNEW...

    RANT: My sister thinks you're all losers

    My sister and I usually get along quite well. We love and respect one another. BUT, like our father, we can both tend to be boorish, close-minded, and obstinately opinionated despite appalling ignorance. Little by little, I've been helping my sister repaint her house during the cool hours of...

    Reset post count to zero: is it possible?

    Is it possible to reset my post count to zero? I've grown attached to my EN World user ID and am loath to part with it. On the rare occasion I go elsewhere online, I use this same ID. For a while, though, I found myself posting just to boost postcount, even if what I had to say was redundant...

    PC race Moggae

    Okay, here's a revision. Tell me if this seems better balanced. EDIT: I've eliminated racial HD, toned down psionics and magic, taken out the favored enemy bit, scaled back ability score adjustments, and taken away Scent. Moggae The moggae (singular mog) were once gnomes. In fact, “moggae” is...
