Well a goblin war1 is CR1/4th. A war2 is CR1/2 and a War3 is CR1. Ftr1 is CR1/2, Ftr2 is CR1. For Hobgoblins, etc it's NPC level -1. I think Goblins are different, or the generator I use is wrong.

This is a good way to make classed NPC's. Follow the stat blocks link. http://mwtools.thyle.net/ I also have a pretty decent list of NPC's for my adventure I made. It's mostly CR2-6 with some in the 1-8 range. I can't attach it because it's too big, but if you email me I can send a copy to...

I actually do this exact thing. For the few who are aware there is an acedemy located on some random plane where members can craft. They pay 100gp per day to stay there which gets put into paying the devils who guard the place. It bumps up the cost of crafting by 20%, and if PC's abuse it too...

As a side-note, ftr2 is also CR1. This works too, and they have the option of using Worgs and they have ride-by-attack already. Advanced Goblin, male goblin Ftr2: CR 1; ECL 2; Small Humanoid (goblinoid); HD 2d10+2; hp 13; Init +7; Spd 20 ft; AC 20 (+4 chain shirt, +2 large wooden shield, +3...

Exaclty, look at a goblin which is CR1/4th. We had PC's fighting a huge group of goblins. If there are 24 goblins in the encampment that's 6 CR1's, or 1800xp for a 3rd level party. Now we can modify them a bit using the NPC 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 method. Make them a 6 War3's, and it's still...

Not all rich people are nobles, lots are merchants, adventurors, etc.

The way I understand it is that yes, you do get sneak attack, no you don't get it back as HP. On crits I'm pretty sure you do double and get double back.

Where there are risks there are rewards. Sure, I could go "He just happens to be a 20th level wizard!!" *ZAP* But that's no fun. I want it to be useful, but there should be risks associated and most traps, etc are with dungeons. Lets say that Grenelda the female Dwarven Smith does...

So now they're using Ambidexterity Two Weapon Fighting Exotic Weapon Proficency Weapon Finese? I'd say fine, go for it. I can imagine it in my mind and it doesn't seem too far off. I'd make it d6 though, that's the most damage weapon you can wield with finese. It's using up 4 feats! By...

I'd remain flexible. If Evil Cleric #1 casts harm and misses a normal touch against the PC and the PC specifically says that he wants to use his shield to bash away the hand of the touch spell I'd give a bonus, but I'd never do it for an NPC. He's also have to be waiting for a touch attack and...

I leave individual battles up to the dice. One overriding rule I try to use is "Never have the only peice of vital information on a living NPC with an alignment or goals opposed to the PC's" 80% of the time they kill him... HOWEVER, if I plop down $15 for a module then dammit we're going to...

Sure, most of the time they get coppers. But they don't randomly snag. They wait until they see someone who looks to be carrying cash.

*slaps forehead* A rich merchant who deals in... CONTACT POISON!! Hehe. Steal that from him will you!! :)

Tower shields DO provide cover, so a tight formation like that would be okay against fireball wizards. One of the lead clerics can cast GMW on 50 arrows, then distribute them among the guards. 2 each, 25 guards. That's mildly helpful, even if everyone just has 2 +2 arrows for 6 hours. If...

I would have the Lich reform near his phylactery and then teleport where he needs to go. Magical divination could detect it on the plane of lost things or whatever. That'd be the way I'd judge on it at least.

We're also 5th level, and in Kalamar which is relatively low-mid magic. I'm looking for immidiate solutions for Sundays game mostly, but long term stuff is good too.

Okay, the party consists of a Cleric, Sorceress, and 3 rogues. Needless to say that in town we occasionally have sidetracks where the rogues like to pickpocket suseptible nobles. I'm looking for good tricks, traps, spells, etc that will deter random crime on a petty level. What would a...

3? I'd go with two fighter varients and a cleric personally.

Okay, I was looking for some lower CR creatures with good DR. Know of any? There should be SOME price to pay for crafting a +1 keen flaming falchion instead of a +3 Falchion. Huge Earth Elementals are only CR7, and have /+2 DR, they also have the sunder feat which works perfectly. Know of...

In the books it says that if a magic item is destroyed it's gone forever. Personally if that happened I'd just have another +2 item on someone else that I didn't plan for it. In my campaign I sometimes allow them to repair it for half-price, no xp and full time. For instance the Bbn lost his...
