What a lovely pair you two make :) Take care, Atavar

I heard a story once about a group of adventurers who were preparing to hunt a dragon. An NPC told them that it was a white dragon, so they prepared to defend against cold and fight with fire. What they didn't realize was that the guy said "wight" dragon, not "white" dragon. It was a red...

Something to keep in mind is that just because an underground species has darkvision does NOT necessarily mean that they do not use light sources. Imagine walking out of your home, into your town, and being able to see no further than 120 ft. away. When looking down the street or across a...

Hello Everyone, I thought I'd update you with what I decided to go with in my campaign. The Heroes of Battle rules book has Aerial Bombardment rules on pp 67-68, and I have decided to use them. In short, it combines an attack roll with a saving throw. In detail, the attacker makes an attack...

Geez. If a team beats another team in a best of seven series then that team has proven that it's the better team at that time. Period. So, when the Pistons beat the Lakers to become the Champions, why all the excuses and whining? "They wouldn't have beaten any other team in the West."...

Will anyone outside of Detroit ever give the Pistons their due? Even at the very end of that last game, when the Pistons became the champions, the announcer did a Freudian slip and gave the final score as the Lakers winning.... Later, Atavar

Remember what they said about the Pistons and the Lakers not all that long ago.... Later, Atavar

Neutral evil. MAYBE True Neutral with Evil tendancies. Chaotic by nature/usual behavior, lawful by design/training, so overall Neutral on the Law/Chaos axis. Despite the good works/results he does as a doctor he almost always seems to do these things for selfish reasons. The good benefits...

We had to deal with this in a Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil campaign I ran. We did the "loot the dead party member" routine at first, but once we had the third party member death we saw the problem with exploding overall party wealth. From that point forward we've used a rule that...

Maybe some details on what specifically happened would be helpful.... The party was fighting a glabrezu. He did a reverse gravity on two party members, sending them up 70 ft. into the air, at which point they began hovering (since they reached the edge of the spell effect without hitting a...

Oh? Why is that? There are plenty of things that are very clear in the RAW that go against common sense. When I ask my players, "What does the RAW say about that?" and they answer, "Common sense says X," I tell them "That's not what I asked." OF COURSE common sense should ALWAYS be used when...

If I were to allow remove paralysis to have any effect it would not be to remove the stunned condition but rather the "can take no actions" portion of the stunned condition. The stunned character would still have dropped everything and have the penalties to AC and Dex. Also, the stunned effect...

That was my reasoning as well. However, consider the following: A person under the effects of a slow spell is not paralyzed, yet he would benefit from a remove paralysis spell. Plus, the above statement is not necessarily exhaustive, so one could argue (as my players did) that remove...

My players must've said the phrase "common sense" a dozen times during our argument. If the issue is addressed by the RAW, then "common sense" is irrelevant. Don't get me wrong; I have plenty of house rules to cover things not covered in the RAW or that contradicts the RAW because I don't like...

If a creature suffering from the stunned condition receives a remove paralysis spell is he then able to perform actions again? Thanks, Atavar

If you run a D&D campaign that fits into my schedule I may be interested. Please feel free to e-mail me at clakerley at ya hoo dot com with details. I live in the Bloomfield Twp. area. Later Atavar

This past session I got into quite an argument with my players over the above question. The 3.5 DMG (p. 303 I believe) goes through clear rules on what happens when a heavy object falls on you (i.e. how to calculate damage). However, it says nothing about any way to avoid this damage, or that...

Some of the names aren't too original, but.... Barnabas, Human, Male Strider, Human, Male Eldamar Anduin, Aasimar, Male Atavar Coramoor, Human, Male Beren Ritter, Half-elf, Male Beren Amber, Half-elf, Male Galen Stormberry, Halfling, Male Larkan Blackmoon, Elf, Male Davin Fellblade, Human, Male...

According to some discussions I heard that obituary/article Jack had referred to the death of a man named Jeremy Bentham, from New York, by suicide by hanging. Another piece of speculation: The woman Jack saved after the crash was Juliet's sister, and that little boy was Juliet's nephew...

In all my years of DM-ing, this happened once, and it happened recently. I am running my players through the Shackled City Adventure Path, and they fought some hill giants. The party's 10th-level warmage casts some spell (fireball, I think). He has his character twinked out to, potentially...
