How about a dozen… Reasons to adventure (useful in making a PC's back story) Histories of magic items (maybe a different DPF for weapons, armor, shields, etc.) Special materials and their effects Monetary systems Household magic items (self-cleaning pots and the like) Sets of magic bracers (the...

Well let's see... 9th level barbarian, power attacking all the way, rage, maybe bull's strength, +1 Adamantine elder-maul (or greatsword, both are 2D6 two handed weapons). 2D6 + 18 (PA) + 8(Str) +1(weapon) = average 34 points per hit, two attacks a round, makes 68 points a roundSo, this 5th...

Let's pick up the pace here guys! I just sent almost 3,000 ! ! ... um... yen. So that's like $25. Sorry, new years and all. Anyway, I hope it helps! -Tatsu

And make sure they do all that negotiation in-game. It's not up to you, or your players, it's up to the PC's in question. Now, I know the player IS the PC, but I, for example, am a lot more greedy than my paladin is. -T

I see where you are coming from, but I have two questions for you. You mean only if it's a proximity / location trap right? You know that searching will not, by itself, set off a trap. For example if you search a door trapped to explode when you open it you will not set the door off simply by...

2 minutes sure, but 2 minutes searching every 5' X 5' square? That is a bit much if you don't think there are traps or things to find. For a typical good sized room (say 30' X 20') we're not talking about two minutes looking around, we are talking almost an hour dutifully searching every...

Right, I've almost finished making my card. I'm going for the hand-made Japanese style. I'm thinking Mt. Fuji would be nice (you can buy the cover art to attach to your paper card). It goes off tomorrow! -Tatsu P.S> This has got to make up for going to Marketing School, Karma-wise

I guess I tend to be more graphic in my descriptions than most DMs. For an orc in battle I might say, "Your blade slashes across the torso, black-rd ichor runs from the wound. The orc clutches its wounded belly and takes one more swing at you" to mean that an orc is almost dead. For undead...

Well, without knowing the numbers (the search DC the Disable device DC and the bonuses the rogue had to those skills, as well as his HP and his reflex save) I can't really judge if it was a 'fair' encounter. But, that's not really the question. In the original question, you asked if the...

Well, specifically it's a move equivalent action (MEA) and a standard action (SA). But, this particular MEA can be combined with movement if you have a BAB of at least one. But, no matter what your BAB, you can't draw a weapon as a free action and still have a move action and a standard action...

Pretty much the same here. If it fits the story, go for it. If you are a fighter / cleric who finds that the sharp blade is doing more good than the healing hand, go Paladin, no problem. But, I wouldn't allow someone to change classes drasticly without a reason. If you are a Fighter / Rogue...

Well, in essence, it is the same as a normal spell and a quickened one, so that should be what you judge it against. Quicken is +4 spell levels (IIRC), so I wouldn't make it any lower than that. If you combine a fireball and a quickened lightening bolt it would cost you a 3rd level slot and a...

I live in Japan, so I have to take my shoes off pretty regularly. I thus have to tie them something like five times a day. So, by your system, I should fail to tie my shoes (break the shoelace, tie my finger into the knot, tie them to each other, whatever) about once every four days? Also, I...

There is nothing at all stopping you (as DM) from adding these things to your game. There is even a section in the DMG on how you might price these house-ruled items. But the two items you listed are clearly a ring and a wondrous item respectively, and so require the craft ring / wondrous item...

Sure you can, but ittakes up the armor slot and counts as light armor. If it didn't monks and the like would get a big boost. Also, it takes up the armor slot on a PC (so you can't wear such a shirt and armor at the same time.) If you want to be able to wear the shirt at the same time as armor...

Hah, this actually happened in a game I was in. The DM ruled that the fighter was cargo, and the teleport worked. But he also ruled that we wouldn't check if the fighter was dead, so we paid for raise dead, which failed. Doh! So what happens when you try to teleport with too many people...

Hi all, I thought up this question in the "bag of holding as transit" thread but am posting here to avoid a hijack. Here is the situation… Bob the fighter is unconscious (like, say -7 Hp), but his group thinks he is dead. Mike-o the wizard can teleport himself and three other people. So, the...

Right, I know that. The question is, why didn't I remember that when I wrote that ??? DOH! Anyway, the point still stands, you are assumed to have rolled every number between 1 and 20. Long story short, nobody does it unless they are willing to take a lot of failures. In my example I said it's...

Right, taking 20 is doing the thing 20 times and assuming you will roll a 20 on one of them. But, keep in mind that what you get is 19 failures and one success. I never tell my players they can't take 20. I always allow it. But, as I said, they get 19 failures and one success. If it's...

I don't have the Mini book, so can someone tell me a little about Marshal? I tok Ranger because it had full BAB and some interesting skills. I needed full BAB so I could take Exotic Weapon at first level (with my Human bonus feat). If the human bonus feat were able to be held until 2nd level...
