Here's another one for you guys: My PCs were battling an enemy who cast displacement on himself. So, the party fighter bull rushed him. Bull rush doesn't require an attack roll, so he was able to drive the enemy back, regardless of the fact he had 50% concealment. Does that seem right...

I replicated this (since it was dropped in 3.5) with a feat. For example, if someone took the feat "Apprentice Wizard", they were effectively a 0-level caster, and gained 3 0-level spells and a spellbook, and if they later took a level of Wizard, I gave them +1 first level spell per day. I...

The reason I'd make the ground AC9 is this ... targeting a square is normally AC 5, but with an arrow or crossbow shooting strait to hit a flat surface far away, I'd give the +4 AC granted to prone targets.

Hi all! Another question from last night's eventful session. My PCs have a bard who wants to make a magic item or two. 1) If the bard has a wand/scroll/charge for each day of item creation, they don't need the requisite spell on their list, right? 2) Our bard wants to make Boots of...

Hi all! I've been having a recurring problem with my ingenious players, and I'd really like some feedback. They've taken to using the silence spell aggressively, which I'm fine with, but some of their tactics have caused contention. 1) They want to cast silence on an arrow and shoot a...

Hi all, I'm lovin' the DMG2, but I have a question... 1) It seems possible to belong to 2 or more guilds at the same time, especially with the Waterdeep treatment (churches as guilds, noble houses as guilds, etc). Do you think you get an extra contact for *every* guild you join? 2) If you...

Agreed! The Warlock is what the sorcerer should have been -- someone with innate magical abilities should have them as spell-like abilities, not as spells identical to a wizard ...

I was disappointed in the book too, not getting much out of it. Is it too much to ask for a good book dealing with mass combat, battles, and war?

I also recommend the MP3 files that come with the game Medieval: Total War. They're great for mood!

Personally, I think these things would be great! It looks like the RPGA has some sort of package giving these templates away, but no clear instructions on how to get your hands on them ...

Kossuth ... him and Darwin have the right idea :cool:

We had a 3rd level PC blinded for an adventure, and the hardest part was miniatures and combat. The problem was the character, while blinded and having 50% concealment, still was using player knowledge to determine which square the enemy was in. So, the best solution was to remove the PC's...

Hi all, I've decided for my Forgotten Realms campaign that Yeenoghu (the demon prince who is patron of the Gnolls) is trying to woo the Tanarukks (fiendish orcs), under a different aspect. So, I'm looking for ideas for a name for a demon that the Tanarukks could call their patron. Something...

This is great! I hope Dungeon & Co. can revisit some other classic modules! I'm adapting this adventure to fit into my running FR campaign, as a replacement for Hellgate Keep, and I'll be cosmetically changing critters, but whoo boy, what a great dungeon crawl! The other thing that *really*...

Yeah, I thought about that. I've decided that Irae was leading the revenants on the surface, and was killed by the Harpers and Dalesmen. So she isn't an issue. As well, with her dead, the Great Revenance can't be cast again (she didn't tell anyone else). However, the Undying temple is still...

Okay, So my PCs didn't stop Irae in time. So now, the Dalelands have been depopulated, and there's a magical disruption to the weave that spreads out 300 miles from Maerimydra. Irae may be dead (not determined), but the Undying Temple is still there. How long would you let the weave...

Bandits with potions of invisibility and entangling nets. Nuff said. Archade/Blair

I posted a thread on campaign plots yesterday (or the day before), and it got two replies total. Within two hours it was on page 3 of the general message threads. I agree that Plots & Places had slow traffic, but in general, we're pedalling bicycles on the freeway. Blair / Archade

Ooh! I like that! I was planning (in the back of my head) to have the Red Temple, as it was formerly Myrkul's, have catacombs and passages beneath it, with all sorts of things that shouldn't be disturbed. Perhaps there's a portal below to Myrkul's realm that can be 're-tuned' to the Abyss...

So I have a great idea for my campaign sequel, once my current COTSQ campaign wraps up. I want to throw the party against Graz'zt. However, I'm having writers block about some of the details that will be the glue for this campaign, and I'm looking for input. I know that Graz'zt (from BVD) is...
