    Social skills in D&D: checks or role-playing?

    I run a mixture in the game because not all my players like or want the same thing out of the game. Some want more role-play others aren't comfortable with doing that. Usually I try and have the players role-play what they want to do first so I can see the tact they want their characters to...

    Seravin's Tales of the Night Below (Two Updates this Week - 07/24/07)

    The Fight in the Mines Later, when asked about his adventures, Panther would recite what he and has companions had seen. The Blue Garl Cavern – where the largest and finest garlstones had been mined. Even played out, there was still a glimmer of blue crystal here and there about the cavern...

    Seravin's Tales of the Night Below (Two Updates this Week - 07/24/07)

    Further into the Mines It was in the chamber of the Poached Egg the ambush occurred. Kellron and the rest had delayed themselves too long searching the corpse of the ogre and looking in the side chambers. That had given Tinsley and Caswell time to go get help. Both Tinsley and Caswell were...

    Angels and bribery

    A planetar may not do it for money - but that doesn't mean he will do it for free either. If the planetar is pulled away from his current job he may have to pay someething else to do it. Maybe there's some charity/organization that needs monetary help and/or resources. Regardless, the...

    Pimp yer Story Hour here!

    Seravin's Tales of the Night Below A story of the campaign I'm running of the old 2e adventure 'Night Below'. It may start in a tavern but the man that comes to see the adventurers summons a plague of fiendish rats upon them. Spellcasters are disappearing. Why? Their trail leads deep...

    Sins of Our Fathers - 2/10 - Final Update

    Per your request, I'll delurk at least long enough to say that I enjoy your writing. Sadly (for me) you're a much better writer than I am and as such I don't have much to critique. I can tell you that I like the pacing of your writing and I find your descriptions to be excellent. I like...

    Wildshape

    Per Polymorph you gain the Type and Subtype of the creature. The Aquatic sub-type grants a swim speed and the ability to breathe underwater. Neither ability is an extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like ability - so I would assume they would be granted by the Wildshape ability. Besides, it...

    Is Clothing considered armor...?

    He's sure. Page 213, DMG (3.5). Armor and protective items are Abjuration Weapons or offensive items are Evocation. I believe 3.0 was the same but I don't have that book near. Tres Cool. People with magic shields and armor are about to get a little easier to see.....

    The Shifter PrC

    I thought it was 9 times per day - but I can't find it in the FAQ anywhere. It must have been from a posted email response or some such. I think the reasoning was along the lines that Shifters were only able to get healing from actual granted Wildshape and Greater Wildshape uses. So, a 10th...

    [Fiend Folio] Fiendish PrCs - are the skill points wrong? (my players stay out)

    My gut answer is yes. If only because the progression of saves and skill points match what outsiders are suppose to get at the time of the FF printing. BaB changed (and then only one step) - but they get some nifty benefits at each level to compensate. I've got nothing to back the feeling up...

    Night Below

    I have to second Brisk-sg. It's pretty cool. For the record there are two other flux points in the module for sure - both in book 3. One is in Shaboath and the other is in the Fire Rift on the shores.

    Return to Night Below

    Heh. I could be doing conversions... ...but there are too many ideas running around. I just did a count of critters in Shaboath: 2 BBEG 26 Aboleth (10 classed) 11 Mind Flayers (2 classed) 426 Major Guards across 4 species (75 derro, 22 Fomorians, 31 Ixzan, and 96-299 Kuo-Toa (Area 10 lists...

    Return to Night Below

    Boredom can definitely occur with this. I know I started to burn out a bit. But for the most part, it depends on what you bring to it. I left the Quaggoth fight in because the characters were around 10th level. It really gave them a chance to cut loose, unload, and sling around some power...

    Return to Night Below

    Other notes on things I've just finished looking at. Shaboath is about 3300ft. east-west and 2550ft. north-south. It apparently sits on an island about 3 miles long and a mile wide. The sunless sea is roughly 30miles long ne-sw and 25 miles e-w. The place is huge.

    Return to Night Below

    Random thoughts strike again... Just finished a major milestone of the conversion process. Next it's onto the Shaboath. Should be fun. :) Things to consider in Book III. 0. Teleport. Will you allow it? Or do what they do in the Forgotten Realms and allow a 1 mile range? 1. The Fire...
