Maybe, but given that the trait is mentioned in a SPECIFIC swarm's trait, might this be an exception to the general rule? I'm not up with swarms, but I'd think that maybe if it was mentioned in several other swarm traits then this could be a point for you. It's possible that the creator of this...

On the wizards board somewhere, and its a number of years old at least, someone had an essay about why psionics were not overpowered. It covers a lot of points mentioned here plus a lot more. I've lost it and haven't spent time looking for it yet, Google should find it for you. Also remember...

We have started using PC focused sheets for the buff spells that show bonus and type. So if you have a shield bonus of +1, then a shield spell gives you a +3, not a plus four. Simple and quick + and - all way round. To the OP: if you are someone that wants a copy of the PCs at each level or...

So.... They said pick any skill, then berated you for following their advice? :eek: If it is SO important why did they not tell you, especially as Danny points out it is a team game? :-S And I 2nd Danny's comment. Mr Useful can do it, and hopefully it'll be a Tie Rope thing. :angel:

I should have added: how do other party members know if you have succeeded? you have to tell them, have the victim display some characteristics? Or do you wait and see?

A few of the cuff thoughts. Let him have ideas, but they rely on something the party does not have or is dangerous to use. if you are quick enough, they can then be the basis of ideas that someone else can come up with (the remark that often gets the hero thinking of a way to win). "What does...

So, an obvious Q for me would be: How do you tell if turning worked before the undead's turn? Or are they merely shaken by cause fear spell and not ready to flee? Can you tell? I house-ruled this to depend on the reason for fleeing: If it is your decision then it is on your turn. If it is...

Don't forget that there will be a will save for half damage if it is a strait spell discharge. I'm not sure what the rules say regarding something like this made permanent. And: Undead :devil: disguised undead :] (which would be healed on each hit).

There are the good elven liches Balorns (might have spelt that correctly) in the Forgotten Realms. So it is not entirely out of the ordinary. Just sayin' ;).

As a DM one of the best battles was in a 5 layered rectangular "donut" with stairs at either end. You could see one level below and two levels above (with cover). The 6 member party had to take into account both sets of stairs, arrow fire from other levels, a couple of flying foes and a largish...

For #4 I would guess that the time taken to freeze should be the time taken to thaw. Unless it becomes a good plot hook, in which case thawing takes as long a time as needed.

My take would be if the rogue was running away in fear of it's life, you have defeated it and earn XP. If it runs several times, you have to decide what is overcoming the rogue: defeating it's plans or leaving it a hunk of flesh on the floor? If the rogue's goal is to annoy with hit and run...

generally loot as we go, with the obvious exceptions of too large and or heavy to easily take now, or when you don't have time to actively search. The most memorable time we didn't loot (time constraints mainly, searching a number of large storage rooms) we lost the whole lot, but WE caused the...

I depends, unless the item is bulky and or heavy, or if the PC's load is important (for tumbling) we only roughly calculate. We are more wary of where items are for retrieval purposes though. And we do try to ensure that a casters with shields, weapons and the like in their hands appropriately...

But your party does not see the equivalent of the counterfeiter printing the $$. You only have him handing the $$ to you. so, how do you know the $ is counterfeit? Prior info? So check for watermark? Watermark is there? um it still MUST be fake? :confused:

Re metagaming: let me ask What knowledge are players 1 and 2 using as reason to decapitate and burn the body? What experience has any PC in the party have with the ways of finally killing a vampire (I myself don't mind the "hey, your PC encountered on before and needed to ....." call). Was it...

Lets see, some general some specific (It is just that a lot of the potential benefits are not strait "+" bonuses): Lessen the chance for wondering monsters (less smoke and smell of freshly cooked food, less flame visible from a distance). Increase the amount of food foraging provides or have a...

A few points here: *A: If this is what you have done previously then searching should be fine. But again I'll ask: At what point do you then accept that there is NOT a secret door there? *1 To fully compare the two, don't you need to add: I've failed my search, but there is absolutely no...

Lets try to clear a couple of things up. first lets get the order of actions strait (I'll parse out the original post) and Moff_Tarkin can adjust for any errors. For me the DM handled the situation poorly, and probable needs to spend some time explaining exactly what illusions can/can't do...

I would actually say the reasons you got the disbelieve roll is because of your hunch. Failing the save makes you go: I guess my hunch was wrong. Curious to know how long both you and your DM think the "Illusion PC" would continue to give a bonus to flanking (a couple of replies mention within...
