It was dark, they were eaten by a Grue. The 2nd level PCs were on a hunt for ratmen in the sewers. The found a chasm leading to an Ice cavern where a young white dragon nearly killed them. Huge magically locked doors were opened with a 36 ! thievery roll . IC: you feel a grave sens of dread...

I'd rule a 1/2 strength breath weapon with the "Clinging" feat (draconomicon 3e) thrown in. definitely not an opening you wanted to force.

I play a tengu gunslinger. he is awful. At 12 gp a shot its an expensive way to fight. its like a mage who carries 5-10 scrolls of magic missile for an adventure (12.5 gp each) with a con penalty and str as a dump stat he would make a poor skirmisher. The joy I get from yelling bang and...

these are really inspiring! One from the beginning of my new campaign, one from the end of the last. +1 Bow of Bees: rare. This bow is striped in yellow and black. When fired it makes a sound like angry bees. When the powers are used the arrows transform into bees. Critical Hit: +1d10...

# 35 You smell smoke. your hear a man rushing by out side yelling "Fire" It seems to be spreading from multiple locations all over the city.

10. 3 days after a giant pyramid swallowed the sun, your (low level) band is hired to transport wagons from city A to city B.

I tend to do romance when I'm playing in one shots - if its available. that way I can throw myself into the role, and not worry about maintaining that level of attention, RP over the long term. Two long remembered games are one where I was a female author in Call of Cthulu, and had a very...

In a solo game: 1. in the stag lords fortress the castle was too good to pass up. 2. Jerburg - for Lord Jeremy, the highest charisma (ie ruler) PC 3. erm I don't have that in my records. Not sure it got named 4. after the castle built a Shop and an Inn mostly to increase Economy, I liked to...

I have a new campaign planned for 4e. A May-June start for this game looks likely. My campaigns tend to run for a year before I need a break. for 3.5 and 4e I waited a few months after release to commit to them. for 3rd I was playing with the rule fragments in the back of the PHB, before the...

One of the players in my game made deerskin dice bags for everyone. He personalized each bag with some kind of symbol that represented thier character / role at the time. we all still use them. Another player bought me a great metal Ogre mini. He also primed it and blackwashed it. It took...

As a player I'm a Method Actor/Butt-kicker. 67/67% I want personal growth and a bloody blade. Although more than blood what I want is ACTION! diving through windows! turning into an eagle and fighting someone on a roof! Hanging upside down from the ceiling over certain death! the method...

One-eye from Elf Quest? sure he died in battle, killed by trolls. and his fall brought me to tears. Not sure how relevant that reluctant warrior would be to orcs.

I use 3 states: healthy, bloodied and "Clinging to life" the last is famously subjective, but in general it is single figure hp. At low levels it was closer to <4 and by mid paragon <12. Its a great way to let PCs know that one more hit will kill him, and he will probably go down against...

I hope that 5e does have rules for strongholds. Its just exactly the sort of thing that fits the 'optional' pieces approach. I have used BECMI rules to run a campaign in Galantri. I used rules from a single article in DRAGON 293 to run a game in 3.0 and play tested the Pathfinder Kingmaker...

"god bless, and pass the ammunition" ? I do have a 16 wisdom. I'll give it some thought. as for hands: sheathing is a move action, drawing 2 weapons is free (with BAB +1) So I have to keep track and make sure I holster one gun after firing the first shot, but before reloading starts...

BANG! BANG! ....... loading ....... Its a standard action to reload each of my pistols. I can speed it up if I want to pay an extra 10gp per shot. but its PFS, so the party is not going to give me a "bullet allowance" in extra cash, im just going to piss away my money. Is it better to...

hmm your making me want to stat out a hero character. I used to make them for fun. I just didn't like the way the game played. anyway with HERO rules your better off starting high powered, its not really a zero to hero kind of system. I would be inclined to build a deck first, then base a...

so where did the team bite it? we lost 1 PC/NPC per room in the final part of the shiv. BB. Halls (ranger 3)- climbed onto bridge, ripped to shreds. PJ (1/2orc Fighter 3) dominated for a week. jaque (npc) lost channeling fight Sasha (NPC) eaten by a gibbering mouther.

I had one villain who used it as his favorite technique. (okay he used it once during the campaign, once before, and once after) He was a Presentiant Bard. Each time he fortolled his death, he would remove a finger joint and leave it in the hands of his allies. His bodyguard got the same...

B.B. Halls human ranger, level 3. Serpents Skull, Pathfinder AP. After only seventeen years of life, he was just experimenting with the concept of "Not Charging". (Usually to whack evildooers in the face with his shield) When his bow proved nearly useless against skeletons attacking from...
