    Druids

    My notes on druids... Standard PHB? 3.5 Druid. Get augmented summoning and summon a wolf with it's automatic trip. Your companion is wolf with the automatic trip. When the enemies stand up they get an attack of opportunity. Then switch to dire wolf at higher levels. If your target flies, summon...

    Rogues: essential class or sacred cow?

    Actually the cleric is vital if the DM concentrates his attacks on one character. Heal that charater or that person will die. I do that, and you need a cleric or you will be losing one character almost every time the PC's face the boss monster. The cleric's role is to keep the party alive...

    Advice on tactics

    It all begins with the builds. The optimal (for us) party is two Druids (with animal companions, operates as line), Cleric who heals during combat or attacks (logistics), and a sorc or wiz (artillery).

    Magical Plants and Fruit

    OT: I also agree with you and Khuxan. All proceeds should be given to ENWorld and EnPress. Okay Arbiter, and Khuxan. Let's start the mailing list (I'm not running a mailing list, BTW). wokuma@lava.net Back to Topic: Temperate: Sarukinu: It's a rare Elvish mushroom, that looks like a big...

    When You Keep Killing Characters?

    I hope so too, but I'm not optimistic. Let's see... You make players take new characters that is two levels lower and then you wonder about why they keep on dying? They are two levels lower, that's why. Two levels lower is certain death. Oh, you noticed. Hint: You made a thread about this...

    Now is the season of our discontent?

    Yeah I can see hero being a universal system for you. It's solid. How about starting a new thread with what you borrowed for your Fantasy Hero game? BTW Fantasy Hero 1st or 2nd edition?

    AoW.TFoE: I think my PCs are screwed (spoilers)

    No, since fighters are nerfed, it is idiotic to be a fighter.

    Now is the season of our discontent?

    Absolutely. You just have to find out what your group has fun with what system. For my group, DnD is a great way to blow off steam and kill stress. For other styles of campaign we use different systems. Hard SF Gurps, soft SF depends, gritty fantasy gurps, cinematic games Champions or BESM...

    Magical Plants and Fruit

    OT: I was thinking, since Morris (the guy who runs this site) is going broke, I propose that we turn this into a PDF supplement for Morris. It will be called 101 magical plants. We can easily come up with 101 plants. We first get our act together, then pitch it to Morris as a Morris PDF if...

    AoW.TFoE: I think my PCs are screwed (spoilers)

    I agree. Kill them and add the PC's equipment as treasure. Adventure paths can be deadly they are going to need this extra boost.

    What must one do to be "evil" alignment?

    Yeah, that's how I read the rules as well. Or by letting evil fester might be considered to be aiding and abetting evil. Agreed. Yup. He should be thinking "kill evil before they kill or corrupt more people" and should give them one chance to repent. Letting unrepentant evil flourish is...

    The superman plague

    I have the opposite view. People will cope they always will and always did. It's going to be somewhat bloody. NRA is going to want heavier weapons. Martial arts and boxing places will be the business. There will be lots of property damage and need sturdier goods, so the economy will shift...

    Magical Plants and Fruit

    Druid's Barrel: A barrel shaped cactus that produces water. It can punctured and drained for it's water. Of course, the water is of the purist kind. There is another plant that is almost identical, but produces lethal effects, however the liquid looks and tastes like green snot. Fort 18 or...

    When You Keep Killing Characters?

    Fair, but there is a difference between a rebuke verses certain death. Ah, I see the problem. Those tactical characters that do not die, want the newbies to die (consciously or unconsciously) so they can take their stuff so they can buy magic and equipment, so that they would not die and...

    Woodland Survival - Help out my game!

    Forest huh? Diseases, cold snap, frosts, strange sounds and lights, wolf or dire wolf packs (they hunt by swarming one target at a time) floods, bridge out over cliffs and a rapids, lost trail, tiger ambush, skull, feral children (druids), mountain range crossings, avalanches, drenching...

    Magical Plants and Fruit

    Druid's Scimitar: A Scimitar shaped cactus that produces dew or doubles the amount of dew in the area. It flowers irregularly but it's tiny fruit tastes like an intense burst of sweet-strawberry-orange tasting fruit. The root can be brewed in a tea. The tea heals one point but requires a...

    When You Keep Killing Characters?

    What was the cleric doing? The rogue always drags down a party. Sounds like you had no druids or clerics or if they were there, they were played very poorly. Ah, I see your problem. Some characters look like they are two levels lower than the front runner. Two levels lower is a death...

    Most powerful non-magical class combo

    For me it would be, Half ogre fighter/warhulk with a spiked chain and enlarge (and other buffs) cast on him plus trip and cleave.

    When You Keep Killing Characters?

    The solution of high casualties? Let them know it's hard style, and run it street legal (no house rules) and have all your combat dice rolls done in front of them so they cannot accuse you of cheating and hand them my tactical notes. Let them know that Rogues are underpowered and will get...
