Displacer Beast: Party is hunted by a displacer beast. Upon defeating it, they find that the monster was wearing a collar, that radiates strong enchantment magic. Someone's pet?

Viv - I'm very sorry to hear that. My thoughts to you, Dan, and the rest of your family. :(

Possible source of confusion via Microwave... The microwave oven 'cooks' things because the waves it generates causes the Water molecules to vibrate very quickly. This, in turn, results in heat being generated. So, the microwave energy produces vibrational energy, which in turn, results in...

Actually, 17s does sound like a better, or at least more interesting idea. It gives the player more flexibility in making their character. Hmm - 3 16s, 3 17s, let the player decide. - Introduce them when the party is most of the way to level two. And let the player, and the events of the...

The other thread reminded me of an old idea I had. The PC with total amensia, found by the party naked by the side of the road - but the character has all 18s for stats. Seriosuly for a moment - say this character is going to be akin to Alias from the FR novels or Tristan from the C.J...

www.baen.com They have Lots of their novels on-line. Most of the Honor series. Most of Eric Flint's books. Lots of good stuff. :) Also preview chapters for everything they release. You can spend Lots of time there. And it looks vaguely like work, as you are clearly reading something.... ;)

Sure, fire off 200 Meteor Swarms. You will hurt nothing. While time stopped, the caster can not affect anything in the rest of the world. All they can do is Move, cast spells on themself, and cast spells that will affect an area and are not instantaneous. You can affect Nothing. Hurt...

Gizzard asked for a breakdown of the BAB of the monk I mentioned. 1 rog/5 Monk = Bab of 3. 20 Dex, +1 size as he is a puny halfling, weapon finesse unarmed. = +9. Also why his damage was only d6 at level 5, instead of d8. But hey, if he flanks something living, thats 2d6 +2, 2d6+2 at +9/+9...

Stunning attack is a special ability, akin to a feat. In fact, it is an improved version of a feat. And feats can be used with multiple attacks. You can trip, disarm, sunder in your three attacks if you wish. You can also trip, stunning blow, disarm, if you wish. If stunning blow could not...

A previous poster wrote that his 5th level monk had a base attack of +2/+2. On the other hand, a monk I played up to level 6 (with 1st level in rogue) had a base attack of +9 or +7/+7. Damage d6 +2, flanking 2d6+2 (if sneak attack applies) AC of 19, 20 w/dodge. Magic items: A +1 mace, a +1...

Cast your extended hour long buff spells at night. At level 12+ - they'll be up all day. Memorize something useful for the problems of the day. Thats the great advantage of buffs at high level and of the Persistant feat from FR, which makes those 'tens' or even 'rounds' last all day. Just...

As another poster has mentioned - it gives more than 'just one extra spell slot'. At high levels, and high base stat scores, it gives an extra 1st, 4th and 9th level spell. This is why people object. This feat can give you an extra 9th level spell. AND a 4th (an extra stoneskin?) and a first...

The problem, as I see it, is not so much that you as DM killed your wife's PC - it is that when she wasn't there, and her PC was under the control of other players, that the PC died. Personally, I would be *VERY* upset if I returned to the table to be told 'oh, your character died last session...

The old red Basic Set? Two books, players book started with a mini-adventure in which you were a fighter, chasing Bargle? My copy of that set had blue dice - I think I still have almost a full set - hmm, nope, missing a d8 and maybe others. Darn, where have my dice wandered off to?

"I've got this Net!" 1st Level party, trailing an Ogre. Quick party conference - Okay, what do we do about the ogre? Fighter pips up with the now famous (amoung my gaming group) "Well, I've got this Net..." "OH NO, You Met Shelob!" from the old Middle Earth Role playing system, aka...

Spell Focus Enchantment and Illusion are almost must haves, in my opinion. Depending on spell selection, transmutation is also key. These three schools are filled with the Save negates type of spells. And since all you've got is spells, having someone make their save, effectively wasting your...

I have to give a vote of Support to Monsters of Faerun. I thought the detail and actual ecology info for the monsters was a 100% improvement over the Monster Manual. There wasn't much, but compared to the nothing in the MM, it was good stuff. The Siv, the Fog Giants, the Draconians, the Bane...

Giants with class levels Cloud city of the Cloud giants. A cloud giant lvl 15 sorcerer. Lvl 15 rogue cloud giants. Their dire bear pets. The awakened vampiric dire bear barbarian, and his former friend now minion druid friend. Giants are great for high level parties. Give them big magic...

I would add a few spells to that list... at Second level: Web - a str check at 20 is decent for many monsters. Even a str of 30 gives a +10 - makes the check 50% of the time.... Detect thoughts - Even if you can't read their minds, you can get the # of beings in the area and their...

Anime: Rouroni Kenshin - the first two arc. (Legendary Swordsmand and Legend of Kyoto) Escaflowne - great stuff (first episode starts very slow, until the dragon appears!) Books: Rhapsody trilogy by, um, author escapes me. Very good. And all out in paperback! The Liveship Traders series by...
