jumping on top of a stunned beholder, for extra damage = good. riding the beholder around once it wakes up. = questionable. Not getting off when the beholder floats over a lava stream = dumb. Being dunked as beholder takes a quick dip in refreshing lavas (base hp 392) = dead & out of recovery...

Battle at the End of Pargon campaign I have enemies : Aspects of Star Spawn Allabar (the opener of the way) Maw of Acamar (black hole / devourer) Spawn of Ulban (deciever) and I have a great battlefield (among the stars, in permeable spheres) bought a star map, using an overlaid grid...

It was an awfully delicious sword. Did a (lazy) warlord, really dedicated to not hitting things, like Gramps, really need a sword that gave additional +2 to hit and damage? I think so! And the visuals of my 60+ yr old warrior, Conan-ing that thing of the ceiling, was indeed my favorite...

Sometimes, you just have to know when to let go. When the beholder your riding floats upside down over lava, and you can still jump off to a safe space, it is a good time. I even tried to tell him so. We didn't see the voluntary lava bath coming, but it was still obviously time to get off...

In a convention game, I had a tsunami hit a town the PCs were all trying to inherit. Two PCs thought they had time to rush down and save a magic sword/relative. Nope. I had an artifact - which boasted of being the "Orb of Deception" helping a high level party. It claimed it could channel...

Duh - cause Bob is a demon. A dretch in-fact. They would fear him if they ever met the 11th level sorcerer version of bob (inspired by from dretch to demon lord) riding his marble elephant! maybe fear is not the right word.... Stats : BoB Asexual Dretch Sorcerer 11 Chaotic Evil Str 15...

Beholder. Save or die, with multiple tries per round? Even if you win, chances are somebody is a pair of smoking boots. one killed a beloved character in 2nd ed. in 3rd Ed (city of spider queen) my party chose the "Valorous" course in battle, changed into giant badgers and spent 2 days...

I really enjoyed this adventure for the longer term story lines - I mentioned it snowing in august as a background detail, and my players bit hard. Dropping their regular quest and going to the caern. I added 2 levels to the encounters and made the winter king a 2-stage solo. after "killing"...

The writers stole my concept! so im going to steal there ideas back :) My current campaign is wrapping up and for the next game I was thinking about a post-apocalyptic city campaign. A Once great city ruined by war, with the PCs struggling to survive and make names for themselves... I was...

That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.

I think themes are a step in the wrong direction. In my game it really seems to promote just taking the theme for the associated powers. And really why take a defenderish theme, unless your a defender? It is one more aspect of the character to harmonize(optimize) rather than encouraging...

hybrid paladin/cleric. Now the Paladin can choose str or CHR as his primary stat. The cleric can choose str or wis. player uses wis & chr, his race gives chr/dex bonuses. This also means that he has one really good defense (fort/ref/WILL) and too bad ones. constantly challenging targets...

although actually I have a convention game (4e) with ninja 10 ninja minions, attack the party, when there were two left, one yelled "there can be only one" and killed the other. He then became an elite.

a boot to the head.

At paragon with 2 ritualists it comes up all the freaken time. last night 1. linked portal between the 2 cities pcs own property in. - its a minor irritation that one of the portals is in someone else's house. They rent his (grandfathers) portal room, and by contract, use sending to announce...

I like to make shi blow stuff up. scenery, PCs, cities, plans, (especially my own), you name it I wanna see it SPLODE.

My players are not fond of "hurt the party for a small reward" cards, but ill throw in Rykunangel's bear card. I have also added the following: Pride we need more monologs! play before combat, or when enemy has an obvious advantage. They monolog the details of their current cunning plan. If...

Essential Warpriests have alternate effects tied to Healing Word. Would it be a balanced offer a choice to newly made clerics? You either get healers lore bonus to your healing word, or you trade it for a rider based on your god. I think Healers Lore is too important to give up on all powers...

If I am remembering previous research on ENworld, 80% of the people here are primarily DMs (16-25% of the gaming population) not quite as bad as the EA sample, but really nothing you can generalize from. EA also has a much larger, more passive player base. Ive read forums for many of the...

Room puzzles. Everyone one that I have enjoyed I have stolen from somewhere. The last one I didn't was solved in about 30 seconds. The next adventure I have coming up is a well guarded artifact location - magical traps, immortal guardians, puzzle keys would all be appropriate but really I'm...
