You've heard the stories, listened to the rumors. But it looks like Wizards is finally doing what they should have from the start: giving paladins their own alignment. Though houseruled in many games, Lawful Stupid is now entering the core books. This ought to make things simpler.

Ok, my batch of players has gotten used to the system, and they are well aware that things are now going to get much more deadly. Last Saturday two characters nearly died and were only saved by awesome rolls, for example. The players are ready for this, and I wanted to know how to hit them...

Do you allow bonuses on a magic bow (say, a +1 flaming bow) and a set of arrows (say, +1 sonic arrows) to get 1d6 fire+1d6 sonic+2?

A recent quote (from two sessions ago): Rogue: OK, finally we found it. I grab the map. Ranger: NO! Check for traps. Rogue:But... Ranger: Do it! If the map isn't trapped, the DM is losing his touch. DM: *evil grin*

Deformities could be useful. Not the willing deformities presented in the Book of Vile Darkness, but ones that only give penalties. Maybe a disease ruptures large parts of the character's face, giving -2 to all social skills. Or perhaps a group of cultists captures the PCs and gouges holes in...

*splutters* a WHAT!? Wow...I have no idea.

In the next session, PCs will be faced at one point with a juvenile black dragon, CR 7. Chances are that if he is close to getting killed he will flee and plot his revenge, so I wouldn't worry too much about the items being things that shouldn't fall into the PCs hands. What items might such a...

During holidays and birthdays I give some real-world presents (such as awesome minis or splatbooks that they really like) and I always give in-game presents to the characters. They can request anything within reason, and I tend to allow things that aren't overly-powerful. They tend to ask for...

I'm learning some great ideas here too. Next time we meet, my PCs are going to be faced with a fun little hostage situation. A vampire cleric/lifedrinker named Maloch Disterlo (a recurring enemy) had kidnapped and tortured a man who knows where the players can find a certain widget. The vampire...

My opinion is that you shouldn't stop. This is true. If you don't, there's something wrong with you. Feel free to disagree with me. You will still be wrong. :) kthxbye!! Nah, don't abandon ENWorld just because some people are very defensive of their positions. To deal with the towering...

AHH, it's turning into an infinite recursion! Ignore this post or you will go mad from the knowledge (if you fail your SAN check)!!

Helim3, I knew what it sounded like when I stated it, but it was my way of showing that I acknowledge that my beliefs shouldn't prevent people from strongly disagreeing. Obviously you have your own subjective opinion too, but I didn't want to act like it didn't matter to me.

You DO realize that by asking us to ignore, this has just turned into a humor thread, yes? I will intentionally fail my disbelief check and treat the thread as real. Take THAT! (note to mods: you might want to change this to humor and keep it alive rather than just deleting it)

On the Plane of Fire (if they can survive there; I can't recall) Living in the furnaces beneath a palace

Well, you can slightly modify the zombies to make them less weak by: Upping their toughness Allowing them to fight with 3 in one 5 by 5 foot space, all threatening: 1 character surrounded by the maximum zombies is dealing with 24 zombies each of which has +6 to hit from flanking (if you give...

Not that sexually dimorphic? Due to a simple difference in the hormones exposed to early in life we have different sexual organs. Because of a few hormones (whose creation is dictated by the X or Y chromosome), some people can have children and others can piss while standing. And there are...

*AHEM* The group of seven players (at 7th level) that I run for doesn't have a single magic-user at all, arcane or divine. NONE. In a group of SEVEN. Each adventure they have a choice: get screwed over by things that would be easy if they had magic users OR Spend all the loot and gold they got...

I agree with WotC's choice to remove the gnome, largely because it didn't have any place in the fantasy world. There was nothing you could identify a gnome with, nothing that made them stand out as a new race. They felt, to a lot of people, like clumsy halflings that had useless spellike...

Uhh...mice are size fine (6 inches or less), which gives -16 on grapple checks. Mice have a -21 penalty against a STR 10 human in a grapple. A human CANNOT physically fail to grapple a mouse unless you count a natural 1 as an auto-fail grapple or natural 20 as an auto-success. However, I do...

Threaten to kill giants with it (assuming that helping giants is its purpose)
