    Official Tomb of Horrors 3.5 conversion (merged)

    Umm, is it just me, or having read over the revised TOH, the treasure at the end mentions a pile of coins repeatedly in room 33, but the treasure includes no coins at all ... huh? I'd really hope they'd do a Return to the Tomb of Horrors conversion too ... that'd be great! I still use...

    How on Earth is this magic item costed out?

    Actually, in the FR Underdark book, there is a weapon property called morphing that is indeed a +1 bonus!

    Alarming Character Combination

    Actually, Bless Weapon says: ... In addition, all critical hit rolls against evil foes are automatically successful, so every threat is a critical hit. This last effect does not apply to any weapon that already has a magical effect related to critical hits, such as a keen weapon or a vorpal sword.

    Alarming Character Combination

    Thanks guys - now I don't feel so bad ... :p The alarming combination is the number of attacks a dervish gets in conjunction with a blessed weapon (he's already using oil of bless weapon on his scimitars). At 8th level, he gets 2 attacks with one scimitar, another attack with his second...

    Alarming Character Combination

    Okay, here's the deal. I have a player who is playing a half-dragon ranger/dervish with two scimitars. He's getting to be quite the moulinex. No problems there (although dervish dancing and flying together cause some stress on the noggin). Now he wants blessed weapons. The Book of Exalted...

    Thanks! I knew I had read it somewhere ...

    Cover Rules

    Hi all, One of my players have challenged a cover rule I recall but cannot find. If shooting into melee, we have always played if someone provides hard cover (+4 AC) there is a chance to hit your ally if you miss by the cover amount, and the coverer's AC is subject to being hit. Where can I...

    Warlocks - players and DM's - your thoughts

    I think the Warlock is what the Sorcerer should have been -- this is ad-hoc, natural casting without spell components or 'Bigbys Gesticulating Hand' spells just like wizards. We've had two in my players' group, and I don't find them overpowering at all. In fact, it's the only new base class...

    What are some good feats for an undead hunter?

    Hi guys, I'm playing in a 5th level one-off, and I was thinking about building a Pal2/Rgr3 grizzled and grim undead hunter. What are some good feats to help with this idea? The character gets Rapid Shot for free. What would other good choices be? I'm told I'm allowed non-Forgotten Realms...

    Changing a Lycanthrope's Alignment

    Nope -- he's Chaotic Good now, if he succumbs to the lycanthropy alignment, he becomes permanently Neutral Evil in all forms, so when they jam the helmet on him, he becomes Neutral Good in all forms -- the Helm specifically states that only a wish or miracle will change his alignment at that...

    Changing a Lycanthrope's Alignment

    Hiya guys! Thanks for the replies! 1) The characters have made knowledge checks to identify the critters as werehyenas (gnoll werehyenas -- very subtle changes in hybrid form!), and that they're evil. That's all they know. As experienced players they know they need a 12th level cleric to...

    Changing a Lycanthrope's Alignment

    So, one of my group's PCs may have contracted lycanthropy from a werehyena (who is neutral evil). My players, who are a bit worried about the full moon in over a week, want him cured -- however, the player of the PC who got bit thinks it might be fun to be a lyanthrope (using SKR's savage...

    Slippers of Spider Climbing question

    Wow ... I never thought that it would take a standard action - that makes sense. Thanks! I've had ongoing issues with slippers of spider climb in our game. Question #1 - If slippers of spider climb grant a move of 20 feet, then if someone with a 30 ft movement moves 10 feet, can they...

    The market dying?

    Morrus, that's a very insightful view. So what about this conundrum? If the market is shrinking because there are so many supplements out there (I know I have two bookshelves full too!), won't that precipitate a new edition from the viewpoint of the game companies? But on the other hand, the...

    Help! I need a riddle!

    NCSU, that's exactly what I needed! Thanks so much!

    Help! I need a riddle!

    I need a riddle, much in the spirit of The Hobbit. Can someone give me one that has something to do with an arrow, archery, bows, or elves? Thanks!

    The EN World FREE Character Portrait Request Thread!

    Hello assembled talented artists! I would appreciate if someone would take a stab at drawing my character, Artemis Graywands. Artemis is from Eberron, and he is a Rogue/Sorcerer. He gets by on charm because he lacks skill. He is affable, friendly, outgoing, and stylish (but it's all...

    Playing a blind character...

    I have a suggestion for implementation. If you play with miniatures, leave off where the blind guy is. That way, he doesn't have a frame of reference (much like a blind person), but doesn't slow down play for the other players. Of course, if he isn't looking, make sure the PCs know where he...

    Campaign Conundrum 2 - Magic Stuff Making

    But my PC pointed out today another fly in the ointment -- Horshoes of Speed. They grant +30 movement for 3,000 gp. So, I'm thinking they gave a 25% discount for 'horses only' and the horshoes would have normally cost 4,000 gp. Of course, this still leaves the Boots of Striding and Springing...

    Campaign Conundrum 4 - Bardic Music

    Okay, so here's another one for you. We have a bard, who is performing Inspire Courage, and then some of his allies step into a silence zone. What happens? The SRD says: Inspire Courage (Su): A bard with 3 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use song or poetics to inspire courage in his...
