I'm trying to use the Random Treasure Tables from the MIC to generate a CR 7 treasure. Out of curiosity, I compared the MIC treasure to what I would have rolled if using the DMG treasure tables. The results keep ending up with the MIC treasure being almost always twice as valuable as the DMG...

I have a scenario coming up that will involve the PCs scouting out 3 different outposts, killing the "guards" at each outpost, and then making their way to a main encampment where they are supposed to kill off the bad guys there and retrieve any intel they might find. This scenario is a side...

Thanks! It was actually applying to 2 PCs that were on the brink of dying. I only mentioned the sorcerer for simplicities sake. The rest of the group was far enough away that it would have taken them 4 or so rounds to reach the other 2 PCs and the fiend didn't have a beef with them at that...

Our session played out over the weekend and it couldn't have gone better. The fiend offered (or as Tanar'ri prefer to do...demanded) that they accept a deal from him if they wanted him to spare their lives. The choices were: 1. Give him their soul. This would have made it impossible for them to...

Any kind of explanation about telepathy I find pretty much just gives the same generic description about how it actually works. "You communicate telepathically with a creature that has a language." What I would like to know is, what is exactly going on in each creatures mind when there is...

The entire point of this scenario is to give this exact PC some spotlight-time (or even both PCs if that is how it turns out). I'd like to implement this in order to avoid an attention imbalance. :lol: Good comparison. That's exactly what I'm trying to convey in this deal with a demon.

Yeah, that's why I said that I would pick the flaw. I don't allow flaws or alternate classes in general because of the reason you just mentioned. But if I'm picking their flaw....then..... :devil: Excellent suggestion! I think I'll do that if this situation happens. That way I can really make...

Oh no, this isn't a "do this or die" situation. Sorry if that was the impression I gave. I have a list of "deals" that the devil will offer. This was just the most elaborate deal I came up with and wanted some feedback in case this was the deal the PC made. There are also other events in place...

The PCs picked a fight with a Glabrezu who is much higher level than they are...and they are losing. I have decided it will offer them a "deal" in order for them to walk away alive. An idea that I had for the Sorcerer PC (who is the one on the brink of death) was to offer him great power in...

I had considered using it like the Discern Location spell, but I liked the idea of it working more along the ways of it's original version. I think the idea of it acting sort of like an Arrow of Direction from the 1e DMG was more interesting. It leads you to the area the other piece is rather...

I haven't read the Age of Worms thoroughly. But I was under the impression that the PCs don't actually use any part of the rod to look for another segment. I thought there just happened to be a segment of the rod in the adventure path but that it didn't have any real impact to the plotline?

I'm trying to figure out how a segment of the Rod of Seven Parts could locate another segment across planes. Would it locate the nearest portal? Or if there is no direct portal, then would it locate a portal that would lead to a plane that would contain a portal leading to the destination plane...

I don't really do impressions since I would feel like I'm being foolish. Especially if I was trying to do a celebrity impersonation. For some reason I've always found "voices" distracting. I prefer just giving an NPC some sort of habit or speech pattern. I mostly just talk in my own voice, but...

Since I still DM 3.5 rules, it has been harder to find players since they usually look for 4e games. I don't think PF players care since the rules are so similar (and I use PF core classes converted to 3.5 anyway). The biggest issues for me have always been the following: 1. Players that don't...

That is the one I was originally thinking that my image came from! It was a gnoll though. I always liked that picture. Anyway, thanks for the help guys.

Oh wow, that's totally not the image that I thought it was from. Thanks for finding that though! Now I'm curious what cover art I was thinking it was from. I'm almost certain the image I'm picturing was from AD&D. Maybe it wasn't a wererat that was waiting in the alleyway.

Can anyone identify the following image and tell me what book it came from? I'm pretty sure it was on the cover of an AD&D book that showed a guy luring an adventurer into a dark alley and this wererat was hiding in waiting. I've done a google and tineye search using this very small picture and...

I have a ton of 4e books listed on my website for sale that have sat in my inventory since the day they were released. I thought the prices were as good or better than what Amazon sold them for. I stopped stocking 4e books because nobody was buying them.

So I'd like to hear some clever and inspiring PC/NPC personalities or traits that people have used to make an impression on the group. We hear enough about "builds" and character options. Lets hear more about the fluffy side of our characters. Plus, some of us might like to steal some of those...
