    Balance this spell: Improved Magic Missle

    Its supposed to be You gain 1 missle for every two caster lvls beyond the first. So at 7th lvl you have 4 missles with a max of 5 missles at 9th lvl. And each missle is 2d6 with +1 points of dmg for every 3 lvls. So one missle at 7th lvl will do 2d6 +2. Is that clearer? Edit: The man (or...

    Tips on playing NPCs?

    well when i DM, the npc's charater is what makes or break my game. I could just simply play a PC as normal as possible, but then the game drags. So I find that if I play NPCs by over-acting and giving them unique personalities and style of speaking, then they become more memorable. Also the...
