No one has even mentioned the fact, that the "good" NPC's probably do not have exactly the same agenda as the PCs anyway. This means, they (the MPCs) will be trying to impose their own world view, politics, solutions, to the problem, which may (but most likely not) be similarly aligned to the...

I allow this ability in the same round.

That wasn't 2e. Those rules were included in the 1e DMG, probably carried over into 2e, and then dropped in 3e. In 3e, a massive monster is more likely to deal massive damage (penetrating DR purely on basis of the amount), and Power Attack.

It can happen anyway you want it to. Its your world, it works the way you want it to, regardless to what Alzrius may think is appropriate or canon. That said, there are a multitude of ways you can put this into place, depending on the preferences of your player and yourself. Humourous vs...

I agree with you completely. Your point #2 will of course not detect the creature per se, but instead reveal the existance of something magical within the area.

I always prefer to let the actual artifact examples serve as inspiration, I find the ones included in the books miss my marks with regards to powers, drawbacks, and actual influence. I prefer to have my artifacts so incredibly powerful, and so extremely hazardous, that no one wants to see them...

I'd have no qualms about throwing together some unique diseases, based (remotely) on real life ones. There are some pretty nasty diseases out there, they make the DMG one look benign. Cholera, dysentry, malaria, ebola, hanta, syphilis, man, just fire up your imagination, and away you go. The...

Know I remember that's one of the reasons why I removed the orb spells from our game, that and the wonky school.

I agree whole heartedily. There isn't a great deal of foolishness that can start to happen in the early Epic levels. It isn't until 25+ that it all starts falling apart.

Aus_Snow, I'm intrigued about your E25... did you allow some of the Epic feats from EPH? Did you stop at 9th level spells, or expand to include higher level spell slots for metamagicked spells? Details, please!

Why not grant a certain number of new action points for every five or ten rounds the PC survived? Then you could have the action points be spent on: Renewing dailies and/or encounter powers, "Forcing" a healing potion drop.

Duelling? DnD isn't really made for Duelling, it is supposed to a co-operative event. But it can be fun to try out. But 35 hp on average, Max 60 hp, at level 10 for a 4th level spell, isn't too impressive. He isn't going to autokill any single one 10th level character with that unless he gets...

Kill them all, blame it on a light elf raiding party.

Not only does the touch AC increase incredibly slowly, the Fighter 2 / Wiz X is actually a much worse character powerwise than the Wiz (X+2); he is an entire spell level behind (!), and only +1 BAB and a fistful of hp (6 on average) better. Spellcasters need more and better spells, and should...

We rule the Teleporting ends all of a characters actions for that round (whether teleporting into, away from, or within, a combat). The way I see it: Drow cast teleport, outside of any combat. Anticipate teleport triggers giving a few round warning. This allows the PCs to prepare a few...

Yes he can, as long as he still has access to his spell component pouch. So basically, wot Streamofthesky said.

The ones I like, I like for their flavour, not necessarily for their execution. Beguiler Dread Necromancer Hexblade Swashbuckler Warlock

I'd not do it, at least until you have had time to read up properly on all the rules regarding this for you, new feature.

1) Anyone with an Intelligence above 12. 2) Once only. During 3.0, which had the "scry" skill, it was hazardous to scry any medium-level wizard: they almost automatically made their scry check to detect the sensor.

Seriously? What is the reasoning behind that?
