    Leadership = Mentor OR Round out the party?

    Right now, I'm the only one in our campaign that has a cohort, so the other players might use them differently, but I use the cohort to provide backup. I'm a fighter, so I told my DM that I wanted someone that could buff and use cure wands, so he gave me a cleric. Right now, we're fighting in...

    How Should the Paladin Suffer?

    That seems really... harsh. You said in your post that the paladin didn't know that pops was a necromancer, and even tried to detect evil, but never really got the chance. What reason would the paladin have to take a small child away from her father without any provocation? If there is more...

    Raise Dead and its Social Implications

    I've thought about this from time to time, and it seems that there are 2 different paths to take. 1) Change the rules. or 2) Change the society. I do a bit of both. First, multiclassing is really common IMC, so it's rare to find a single classed cleric capable of casting Res or True Res...

    Equip my soulknife!

    I never thought I'd be saying this about a human fighter, but I'm far enough behind on feats, I just don't think I could fit in another. Right now I'm working on Cleave, Improved Initiative (for the Occult Slayer), Deep Impact (my rolls have been terrible lately, so touch attacks are a good...

    Equip my soulknife!

    I'm playing a gestalt soulknife/fighter (fifth level), and I have a bit of cash to spare. 84,000 gp, to be exact. While I have a few ideas about what to get, I'm not really sure what to get exactly. The items I already have are below. +2 Breastplate +1 Amulet of Natural Armor +3 Ring of...

    Open Worlds vs. Closed Worlds

    I chose "It's a big multiverse: Dragonlance characters in my FR game? Sure, just drop em' in a portal!" I tend, when running campaigns, to choose what I include, based on what the players want to play. If someone wants to play a character from another world, it's not that much different from...

    Keep on the Borderlands - your experiences?

    I played it once, but we never got all the way through it. Let's see if I can remember the highlights. These may not be in order of occurance... I remember the CN Drow in our party talked to a farmer, barely beat an ogre one on one that was menacing him, and and then stole the farmer's...

    Why we love D&D but hate d20

    Heh, am I the only one wondering what the cute blonde has to do with d02?

    Is there any other way?

    How do your Gods get Power?

    I base my cosmology around two things: one, a god's power comes from faith; and two, that no one walks around with a certificate from AAA saying that they are, in fact, a god. My campaign borrows heavily from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time (there is a Dreamworld, that people can reach by...

    Useful spells for your everyday (real) life

    Fabricate: Forget pots out of pans, I need hundreds out of ones :D. I really could have used Invisibility in high school. For, uh, avoiding detention. Nothing to do with the locker rooms... Unseen Servant hasn't got any takers? I'm a slob, so this would be the first thing I learned. Cure...

    Internet phone... anyone?

    Anyone know of a free internet phone service that I can call out to a normal phone? Yeah, I'm cheap, I know, but if a company is giving it away, why not take it?

    Aaargh!! Help me campaign, matey!

    Morrow, that's a great idea about the dwarf's amnesia. Didn't even cross my mind. Well, guys, keep it coming. I'm looking for all the help I can get.

    [DM Issue] - How would you have handled this?

    I would have let him take the attack, before the opponent's swing. Of course, me and mine aren't english majors, so we tend to use language... casually.

    Aaargh!! Help me campaign, matey!

    I'm starting a Freeport campaign next week, and need some help. Here's what I got so far. Adventures to use: Maiden Voyage Death in Freeport Terror in Freeport In the Belly of the Beast Madness in Freeport Black Sails Over Freeport Cast of Characters: Elf Monk with Major Gold Dragon...

    Using Force Sensitive and Force Feats in a DnD campaign?

    I used the rules for a Dark Sun game, once, as a replacement for psionics. I just ruled that it did subdual damage. It worked out pretty well, with the exception that barbarians had the most reserves. With the high psionics level of Dark Sun, it also meant that most fights ended with a...

    Terrible games you've played in

    Wow. I must say, there's some real horror stories here. Worse than Stephen King, mate. The worst game I ever played? I was playing a bard, buddy of mine was playing a fighter. We're travelling through the elflands, and continuously (sp?) were told we had to attack a mage, because that was...

    The aferlife in your world....

    IMC, no one really knows where the souls after death, and each group has their own ideas. I come up with a few ideas, but for the most part, if a player asks what happens after death, I let them decide. I'm a firm believer in allowing my players to shape the campaign, so they often come up...

    GM seeking monster for long term relationship...

    Well, the first thing that popped into my mind when you mentioned Egypt was cats, so I think you should use: Rakshasas! Why would they make a good overseer race? Detect thoughts, the ability to shift to any humanoid form, and nearly invulnerable to low-level humans. (DR 20/+3 in 3rd, 15/good...

    Good supplement for Castles and Keeps?

    Have you tried Seven Strongholds? I don't know who makes it, but you could look it up in the review guide. There's also Stronghold Builders Guidebook from WotC. It may be too construction-y for your tastes. If you look through the reviews, I'm sure you could find a few more.
