Oh man, I saw the title, and thought this was an 80's rock theemed adventure. That would be cool! "DO MO A RI GA TO - DRA GON RO BA TO ! ! THANK YOU ! ! I WANT TO THANK YOU ! !" Hmm, well maybe not... As for the river, why not call the amnesia an effect you can resist? Use the drowning...

Well, if you want expensive, try a Tokyo LGS. Now you are talking $50 for the PHB and $65 for the DMG. Ouch. The way I see it, the FLGS is becoming a thing of the past. To stay ‘alive’ it has to change. The ones that can’t change will shut down. (Ok, here’s one of those (in)famous Tatsukun...

I just made one god for each of the four corners (Law, Chaos, Good, Evil), then replaced every instance of those words with the name of the god. Then, people in-character can debate if GodA is evil or not without anyone saying "Well, his clerics show up in 'Detect Evil'!". Now the spell is...

OK, but I still don't see the problem. He's working really hard just to use a short sword instead of armor spikes. He's used an extra feat (quick draw), and for that he gets a weapon that crits on a 19 or 20, rather than just on 20. Doesn't seem a big deal to me. -Tatsu

I think he's talking about just dropping the long sword, that's a free action by RAW. I don't see a big deal with this, it's not as powerful as TWF with a greatsword and armor spikes. -Tatsu

I would go with "It isn't a weapon, so it counts as armor. You can't sunder it". I mean we're talking about a rather large object os metal or hardwood which is made to be hit over and over by weapons. You can apply the "DM may decide how effective some weapons are against certain targets" (not...

In my campaign, most people don’t devoutly worship a god. Everyone knows about divine magic, and everyone knows about arcane magic. People just disagree about where they both come from. The churches say their magic comes from their gods, the mages say all magic is natural and has nothing to do...

Well, he actually didn't have a choice, it was that silly Monte adventure that turns some PCs into dwarves. -Tatsu

Well, we had a PC PAO himself into a dwarf in our game. The DM ruled that he kept his human bonus feat at first level, and piled on all the cool Dwarven stuff. I think if the party had had more spells, everyone would have been dwarves! -Tatsu

Well, we once had a rogue with a ring of invisibility and he had a habit of getting knocked to low negative hit points. The DM graciously allowed heal checks on invisible people, but he eventually died when nobody could find him after a battle and he bleed to death. Sometimes, you want your...

Well, the higher GP at creation could just be that we're assuming the NPC has been adventuring a while and is not at 0 Exp. Other than that, I have no idea -Tatsu

For one act he changes alignment? So if my BBEG helps his mom make rent next month he'll have to stop being an evil BBEG because he's now LN? Seems odd. If you're the spy in a town, and you see that a paladin is rounding up people to "check for taint" you just have to tip well for your ale and...

One of the best sayings I have ever heard when it comes to Paladins and prisoners was "I can not condone the torture of the currently innocent." I like that phrase, 'Currently innocent'. It's a hobgoblin, so it's probably evil, but did it do anything do deserve torture today? -Tatsu

Two things to add.. 1) This whole thing about telling kids “Fear strangers” is silly. They don’t fear the bad guys, they only end up fearing everyone else. I used to work in a big university, and I often see parents and their kids walking on our campus. I often say “Hello” to the family, and 9...

What about one Cold iron and one Adamantine? That way you can just buy silversheen for the times you need it and you will still have one for sundering / smashing and one for hunting Demons. I personally, would go with two Adamantine Mauls, but I just have a fear of having my main weapon sundered...

CR 3, however 4 of them would be EL 7. That's one per PC, so it's like one on one. Of course, the ogres will still be a mildly noticable bump in the road for the level 10 party. But you know (RBDM here) once they hit level 11, you can throw 8 ogres at the party, get a very rough EL of 11...

Let’s see if this is real, or if it’s only a matter of comparing a level 10 fighter with a level 3 monster. So, let’s look at, say, a Fire Giant (CR 10, just like a Human Fighter 10) The above-mentioned fighter is attacking full out with PA, for a total of… Greatsword +12/+7 (2D6+30)...

(Alright, I'm tired and I scrolled to the bottom without reading all the posts, sorry if this has been said) It sounds like quickmount (it's a move action, but if you make the skill check it's free). You need to have a move left to try it, in case you fail for some reason. -Tatsu

Well, aren't most people in the world going to be taking 10 for climbing ropes (outside of combat)? A DC of 10 means your average farmer can do it every time, if not distracted. That seems fine for me, no reason to go to 5. Of course, 15 is right out. Then again, why do going up and going down...

Well, if you use an animated tower shield, you take a penalty to attacks, just like you were using a tower shield. One of the things in 3.5 that hurts my brain is if a TWF with a buckler gets the -1 to attacks. That'd be odd because a TWF with a small or large shield doesn't get a penalty...
