My main issue with Mounted combat wasn't the feats and abilities. A Fighter is obviously required to make the most out of them, but spirited charge with a lance is a nice dmg dealer. Especially if you have ride by attack. And a fast mount is a must. But yea, I agree that in a dungeon crawl...

Well I have always been a big fan of the pirate genre. Big adventure and whatnot. Your guys seem like a really fun grp, lotsa room for action but not so high level they can treat normal people and local authorities like ants. Perhaps have them sign on to protect a ship's cargo. This might...

Make em 3rd level and I'd agree with you, but 6th? Gimme a break.

Move Earth, Raise/lower water. Freaking retarded spells. Perhaps come in handy once a career.

My apologies for the shameless bump, but I was hoping to give it one more shot for the good folks at ENWorld to help me out. Thanks again :)

Well the Paladin should be relatively easy to put in a quandry. Make it very easy for him to solve his problems with violence. But allow for a better, altho longer resolution thru peaceful means. Perhaps start him out chapping himself for cruelly putting a prisoner to death. The Munchkin...

There are only 2 cases of objective alignment in my world. One is for determining the effects of alignment based spells such as Holy Word. The second is for outer planar beings. For them, alignment IS a straightjacket. Mortals on the other hand, are comprised of all the alignments. The...

I like the elemental idea. I was hoping to keep the monsters neutral here. The city was actually the capital of the humans before a cataclysm hit, and after the cataclysm was dealt with they had a secret so great to keep they literally destroyed all records of their own society and what little...

Well this is a pen and paper RPG, so I think a DM needs to be prepared for his players using whatever tactic or methods they feel are going to work the best. I have DM'd for some pretty contrary individuals, and its in your interest to think outside the box. This goes double for caster types...

Hi all. I am DM'ing a high level campaign thats nearing the end of its story arc. The next stage revolves around the main character, a 20th lvl Sorc and his arch rival, an evil 19th level Wiz, teaming up to break the Temporal Shroud surrounding the last city of a precursor civilization...

I am starting to think the hole idea of anything swallowing something that can still do damage to it is kinda silly. If anything was able to cut its way out it would most likely be vomited up well before it cut its way out. Always seemed goofy to me how they handle it.

The whole DR/evil thing is just, well..lame. If you see an item that would be neat but has something about it like this that relegates it to the dust bin, something was probably done wrong. I would simply change it. Celestial and Fiendish DR is just silly since they bypass eachother all the...

Dragons don't have different stats with regards to fire. They are not affected by it. Now if a 300 hp dragon had 2000 hp with regards to fire, that would be a different stat. So what if your magic weapon takes 10 pts worth of damage. Which pool of hit points does it come out of?

Why would it list a different set of hardness/hps for when its attacked by a weap with bigger plusses? Thats just silly. So you have one set of stats for when its being attacked by identical plus weapons, and another for greater weaps, and don't be concerned with weaker ones? Silly.

Ok, from the Epic Level Handbook. Colossi have Epic DR and radiate anti magic in 100' radius. How do you hurt them? No weapons or spells, just hit them with Siege engines maybe?

Can you counterspell a spell-like ability?

I also think all the half axiomatic hippogriff/half fiendish owlbears are a bit silly. Me, add some levels, a shiny magic item or two with a twist and some background would be a bit more interesting than what they have been doing. But again its free.

637 damage in MM? How many apprentices did he have? Even high level characters need to take a few precautions if they wanna tangle with 100 or so spellcasters. And Im not sure having MM as a continual damage spell doesn't wreck its purity and hopelessly complicate matters.

My solution is simply to remove Wish from the realm of PC castable spells. In my campaign a wish is just that, a la Aladdin style. The only way you get it is from a ring of three wishes(treated as a major artifact for frequency) or getting on the good side of a higher power. I do keep...

Well the main problem with pitting one guy against several is not the ability to do damage to the party so much as simply being able to do damage WHERE and WHEN you want to. Give him a decent bow and quickdraw to switch between weapons fast so that he can command attention of the guys in back...
