Creatures two size categories smaller can enter into an occupied square. Creatures smaller than small must enter into an occupied square to attack. So if that spider is tiny or smaller, it has to enter into the square to attack. So that makes sense, and a PC can make a grab attack to grab it and...

My wife said the same thing about me when we first met. WotC refused to take me back though.

That's crazy that you said this. I was going to post the exact same thing. Hell, I was thinking about starting this thread yesterday and was going to write just that, but I know how it is talking about art in D&D. Most of you guys claim to prefer the art from OD&D that looks like it was drawn by...

You guys are nuts. The babe on the cover of Dragon Magazine #354 always did it for me. That's gotta be one of the most provocative poses ever printed in D&D. It just screams, "Come and get me big boy!"

Ah man, that's one that I'd have to look up myself since I'm not exactly sure where it was mentioned. So you may as well search for it. Try using http://www.d20srd.org/index.htm It might be mentioned with "attacking in an occupied square" or something along those lines. I'm not familiar with...

I don't think so. I personally wouldn't rule something like that. My motto is, K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid). The less rules I gotta worry about, the better. Especially with something as complicated as grappling. The game will already come to a halt when someone grapples. So I wouldn't worry...

PHB pg 156 "Grappling Consequences": "No Dexterity Bonus: You lose your Dexterity bonus to AC (if you have one) against opponents you aren’t grappling. (You can still use it against opponents you are grappling.)" also PHB pg 157 "If You're Pinned by an Opponent": "While you’re pinned, you take...

That could explain the lack of responses to threads about fluff. But I'm grateful to the creative people that do exist. Whenever I have a mind fart, I get excited when I post online looking for ideas. I love hearing what the creative crowd throws my way and I can't wait to read the replies. Even...

The thing is, in all of the years I've been visiting ENworld, worldbuilding/narrative/character fluff threads barely get any responses. They pop up quite frequently, but they get maybe a couple replies and that's it. The only time the thread gets going is when it goes into discussions about...

Armor of the Beast (Complete Champion pg 135)? Those 3 items combined create Trappings of the Beast mentioned on the next page. There is also the Heart of the Beast (Magic of Faerun pg 160), but it may not be related to those items. They all come from Complete Champion. Stats are not allowed to...

I like how you mention LA not being a penalty. Players seem to overlook that when avoiding races with an LA. Although, there are rules in Unearthed Arcana that allow you to buy off your LA with XP. There is nothing that I am aware of that gives rules on using gold to buy off LA. I don't even see...

Good explanation. It really is that simple. Lethal damage counts down your hitpoints, nonleathal damage counts up your hitpoints starting from 0. When both numbers meet or cross, he's unconscious. I have never thought of that combo before. I don't create my own monsters or templates though. Are...

You may be forgetting that in order to feint, you must make a Bluff check vs their Sense Motive check. If the Sense Motive check fails, they should not be aware of their mistake in your example. That's what the check is for. Otherwise, there is no reason to roll a Bluff vs Sense Motive. In your...

I've been running Planescape campaigns for almost 20 years now. Earth has never existed in my games. Wouldn't that easily solve your problem? Earth isn't even in the cosmology for PS. The only mention of Earth in D&D that I'm aware of is in Pelinore & Masque of the Red Death. I'm not even sure...

Any reason you are using two accounts to post here? Usually that is seen as a sign of a poster trying to be deceiving. If you are telling the truth about your game mechanics, I gotta say that it seems like that would be an almost impossible game to play. And if it is played, it can't possibly...

Naw, I run a 3.5 game using Pathfinder classes converted to 3.5 (my own homebrew). Luckily, not a single player in our group is a fan of 4e. So they don't have any expectations or gripes for how I use the rules. They actually have made comments about how difficult my encounters are. Not in a...

Well, 75% of the players are new to the group. It's always hard to keep new players around since everyone has different gaming styles and there needs to be some adjustments between players/DM in order to come to an understanding and game well together. So I have been letting things slide a lot...

It isn't about telling players who they should be afraid of. It's about throwing them a bone so they don't mouth off to the wrong person and get themselves killed. I mean, if your PC is just an idiot, then so be it. I don't want an NPC that wasn't meant to be battled to kill them because they...

Hmm, now I can't wait for one of my players to be disrespectful again. I need to remember to respond with a scenario like that. I don't know why I haven't thought of that before. As always, you never think of the obvious until someone else points it out. I seem to handle the situation similar...

In all the years I have DMed, I don't think I have ever had a BBEG successfully intimidate a PC. I don't mean via the intimidate skill. I just mean that, when a powerful NPC confronts the party, none of them ever show the respect that he deserves. The PCs respond with smart aleck responses and...
