IMC the city of Westgate in the Forgotten Realms was ruled by a council of liches with vampires as their executive officers. They expanded their territory and fought battles against the players' characters who were between lvl 17 and 21 back then. ~Marimmar

I bet this has been done before but nevertheless the answers interest me. IMC when a player couldn't attend a session he gave us his character sheet and we played him as an NPC for that session. Since the other players couldn't play a character of another to its fullest, those 'NPCs' often got...

Thanx for the huge response everyone :) A point that repeatedly came up: We took spontaneous healing away from the cleric for a reason, a) the cleric spells got boosted in the transition from 2nd to 3rd edition, most of them no longer suck. b) there are a lot more healing spells to...

Last night a big discussion erupted in our group concerning the druid's animal companion. The player of the druid (lvl 5) took a dire wolverine (5HD) along and the party cleric was offended by the damage the wolverine dealt to our enemies, claiming that having an animal companion is too powerful...

Well, if you really like boxed sets, go ahead and order the german versions of the core rules, they come in boxed sets since that's the only way they'll make it to the shelves here. The reason for that being that a box is much more resilient to sitting on a shelf than a book that every second...

IC, so it's still a great weapon for rogues since it allows three chances to get a sneak attack in. Thanx for the help. :)

First of all I want to apologize for asking this question since I presume that it has been answered a lot of times but... If my rogue throws shurikens, he gets to throw three stars instead of only a single one per attack. Do I get to deal sneak damage with every shuriken or is it somehow...

Redeeming myself a bit... Before everyone thinks I'm a wimp as DM, here are some things I came up with in one of my campaigns. The party is up against the Cult of the Dragon and those guys are tough. They're fighter types all have mage or cleric support, they all round around with greater...

Don't worry, I'm not out to get the mage, he's just an example and never really existed. I just felt that this 'hot iron' would best be started off by telling a little story instead of just complaining. :) We're about to begin a new campaign and all rules will be in effect beforehand with all...

Virtual Immunity from Attacks (or why mages don't fear the reaper) Imagine a small lv5 party venturing forth into an adventure. Frank the fighter, Full Plate +1, Large Shield +1, Flaming Sword +1 Carl the cleric, masterwork Full Plate, Large Shield +1, Heavy Mace +1 Waldemar the toad loving...

Re: Re: sorry for not answering Well the mage was well below their level, he fled to escape their wrath, he was taken without any effort at all, he was very much afraid of the party after his capture. These are all indices that he wouldn't like to cross their path again. If the party didn't...

Well, I did not impose any penalties, I just warned him that continued behaviour of that kind will eventually change his alignment to chaotic evil. Once is never, twice is ever... There's nothing wrong with being evil, I just get the feeling that his behaviour will get them persecuted in many...

He is fighter 8, cleric 2 - but since his god Garagos is a chaotic neutral deity of war and destruction being chaotic evil is no real problem for him. ~Marimmar

:) That won't work right now, they already offended a high level cult of the dragon wizard who almost singlehandedly defeated the party. He and his high level cult of the dragon cleric buddy are already on the lookout for them. The party luckily got wind of their plans because the party's wizard...

sorry for not answering First I want to apologize to all who made such great contributions to this thread. I wanted to reply yesterday but i unfortunately got a full workload on my desk and had no time. And now for something completely different... Our group had long discussions about...

In yesterday's rpg session the party needed to find out a password needed to enter a crypt. Since they managed to avoid anyone who could tell them the password they needed to have someone cast a legend lore spell for them. So they traveled to the next major city and hired a mage to cast that...

390) Whenever a PC listens at a door and fumbles, tell your players that he overhears 50 fire giants conversing with 3 ancient red dragons. (I have no idea why my players believed me when they were only 4th level and listening at a potato cellar door :)) ~Marimmar [Edit: corrected the running...

The deck of many things appeared twice in our games and it almost ended one adventure - the PCs were in Lolth's domain when one of two fighters drew the imprisonment card - and ended a quest for a holy avenger sword when the party's paladin drew 'the void' and was catatonic from that point on...

I understand you Root of All Evil, so here comes another one to freak out your Players. 338) When playing with your 2nd level party, hand them a holy avenger, a vorpal sword, a ring of invisibility a mace of disruption and robe of the archmagi. I bet they'll be torn between having fun getting...

*scratches his head* isn't freaking out your players about getting negative reactions from your players? How about some focused examples? ~Marimmar
