I assume that the poll is indicating that a woman would not be invited to the group, based on GENDER only? In that case, I cant possibly think of a reason why. If a specific woman with some personality conflict then I could see her being denied. But then, that wouldnt be "gender" based, it would...

HA! THAT is a great tip! I know players that play just for that thrill of levelling (its better than killing monsters or even getting loot). Its especially a big thrill in computer adventure games. :D

After seeing the first Star Wars movie when I was a kid, I was discussing the movie with my brother. I knew that my brother loved reading science fiction movies and watching sci-fi movies, but he didnt particularly care for Star Wars. I asked him, "How come you dont like Star Wars, I thought...

In my games, the party can't "sell" evil items. The stores/merchants/wizards, etc wont buy "evil" items. And the party is almost always good, therefore they wont sell "evil" items to evil people. Therefore if there was a Paladin in the party with a penchant for destroying evil items, it wouldnt...

Just use the Whip-Dagger from Arms & Equipment Guide. Exotic weapon that deals 1d6 normal damage.

Quite frankly, based on the wording in the SRD, I dont think that a player saying, "Hey I bet there are monsters on the other side of this door. I will get ready for combat." constitutes them being "aware" of the enemy.......

Thanks for the replies, but we are getting away from my original question: Here is what it says in the SRD: So, back to my original question, does the party "assuming" they know what is on the other side of a door, based on knowledge from 5 weeks ago, count as being "aware" of the enemy on...

I would prefer to play with no fewer than 3 players + DM. My group usually has between 4-7 players + DM. Usually if we have less than 4 players + DM, we will usually do something else. We usually play from 16:00 - 23:00 on saturdays. I would think that 3 players + DM and at least 3-4 hours of...

With the input from fellow players (which is why we are here, right? ;)), I think this is how it should have gone: 1) Spectre knows the party is outside the door about to come in. 2) The Spectre can do something for at least a round or 2 before the party barges in. 3) Spectre commands the...

Hmmmmm, well, my reasoning is that the party did not *know* that the enemies were there. They were going on 5 week old knowledge and *assuming* such. It just so happens that they were correct. With the reasoning of the previous posters, players can just "assume" that there are enemies behind...

One of the real life creatures that I think is cool is the Archer Fish. The fish takes water into its mouth, then swims to the surface of the water and "spits" a stream of water at a bug that may be hanging on a branch over the water, to knock it into the water. Then the Archer fish gobbles it...

Well, I have a fair sized group of friends that I play D&D with. We mainly get together AS friends. For example, if we didnt have enough to play a regular D&D session, we may do something else like watch movies or play Talisman. I rarely play with people I do not know. I dont play just for the...

Although I selected "sometimes" in the poll, I rarely, rarely use random encounters. AND even then, I use the Random Encounter table (in a module for example) as a guide, then select an encounter. Inside a dungeon, I usually find the number of set encounters to be more than enough. And when...

In combat, if both sides are "aware" of each other, then the DM and players go to initiative and there is no "surprise" round. Does this following scenario count as being "aware" of the enemy: Approximately 5 weeks ago (in game time), the party had entered a room through a secret door and...

Well, I know there are a few things that this wouldnt work for. In my campaign a party member has a magical rod that states it can only be used once per round. So, even if the user gets multiple actions (such as version 3.0 Haste, for example), the rod can only be used ONCE per round. Also...

Since we are on the subject of Temporary Hit poins, I have a question: Are Temporary Hit points considered "real" hit points for the purpose of determining if spells affect you? For example, if a character has 95 hit points maximum and 10 temporary hit points and then get hit by a Power Word...

Doesnt the Players Handbook have a standardized listing cost for casting spells? 10gp x spell level x caster level + (5gp x XP point cost). It's in the Equipment section under "Spellcasting and Services" Editted to add: Wouldn't a Player character get to charge the same amount?

What about Warforges? They dont sleep at all. They still need the 8 hours of "rest" as well, right?

You mean as in magical items from other sources? They can. Players can use items from the DMG, PH, Relics & Rituals I, Spells & Spellcraft, and Arms & Equipment Guide.

I am working on my own campaign setting and bougth the Eberron book on a whim the other day. Thought that it would give me ideas for my own setting. It looks like a pretty good reference book. Nice layout, good extra rules, detailed maps and descriptions of lands. Looks like a good setting and I...
