    a swarm lycanthrope?

    I was thinking of Gary Oldman exactly! I have to create a Half-Fiend Lycanthrope (Rat Swarm) Rog3 to use! (CR9, I think ...)

    D&D 3.x Prone Rules [3.5]

    Also keep in mind someone could tumble away 5 ft if prone... no AOO.

    3.5 Monsters in Stat Block wanted!

    Hi Leopold, Although I still don't forgive you for the fiendish ass-bear ( :p ), I do have a quick solution for you (which I am personally using). Go to www.dmgenie.com ... download the program. It will let you create a monster (either standard, or you can roll its stats and hp), and one of...

    a swarm lycanthrope?

    Wow! I just have to use a Half-Fiend Lycanthrope (Rat Swarm) now as a sinister bad guy in my upcoming new urban campaign set in the Wizard's Reach! That's great! The rat man cometh!

    Dungeon Adventure Path series in Greyhawk?

    I'm running the adventure path in the Realms. Specifically in the Silver Marches, and Cauldron is now Everlund. But it hasn't been any hard work (just removing a volcano, y'know?), so I don't mind where the new setting is ... but a sidebar with quick notes to convert it to your greyhawk/realms...

    Hardness/HP Conflict Query

    So, do we have any confirmation on whether a +1 enhancement adds +1 to hardness and hp to a weapon, or if it's +2 and +10? Also, have they cleared up if you need a magical item to damage a magical item? Thanks!

    Custom DM Screens

    I'm working on building a word doc for an insertable screen for the MasterScreen Quad product, for use in my Forgotten Realms campaign. I can't post it, as it's got non-OGL content, but anyone who wants a copy email me at blair @ kwic.com (spaces added to prevent spam) and I'll make it available.

    Latest COTSQ Session & Strategy Question for DMs Out There (SPOILERS!)

    Thanks for the Kudos guys! Well, last session was mostly the wizard spending a few days to decipher spells and transcribe them into his spellbook (teleport), while the cleric wind walked to Hillsfar to sell the loot they had accumulated thus far (totalling a take of 50,000gp when everything...

    Killing Gaseous Vampires

    Thanks for the replies, guys! I ruled that there was a 50% chance of the body rematerializing, so one did, and one didn't. Disrupting weapon is a great tactic against vampires, especially Vampire Fighters! Archade / Mad Morty Rackham "Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more...

    Killing Gaseous Vampires

    Okay, so my party finally managed to kill a vampire. BUT ... 1) They reduced a vampire to 0hp ... *poof* ... it turns into gaseous form. 2) The monk with Disrupting Weapon cast on her hands hits the gaseous vampire. Aside from the DR 10/magic, there seems to be no other penalty to hitting a...

    3.5 - Is your game better?

    I bought the 3.5 books when they came out, and to be honest, I prefer the updated rules. Do I find the changeover issues a headache? Sure! I'm running COTSQ right now, and I'm converting monsters, traps, and tactics on the go. In fact, I have probably spent as much time converting as...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Elixir Confusion

    This may have been addressed previously, but I don't recall seeing it. Why are elixirs under Wondrous items? Is this a mistake? Can they be built using the potion creation rules? Has this matter been addressed by WOTC? Thanks!

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Spell to recreate old 3.0 effect - Opinions please

    Hi all, I'm trying to recreate the effects of the 3.0 Forbiddance (hedging out people), and reconcile it with the 3.5 Forbiddance. So I created a new spell - commentary about power level and balance greatly appreciated! ============================= Interdiction Abjuration Level: Clr 5...

    Latest COTSQ Session & Strategy Question for DMs Out There (SPOILERS!)

    Hey Barendd! Looks like you're only one session behind me! My guys hit the ooze alter two weeks ago. Unfortunately, they weren't familiar with ooze traits, and after the first round of hacking, there were five black puddings! It dissolved the other rogue in the party (who's now come back as...

    Latest COTSQ Session & Strategy Question for DMs Out There (SPOILERS!)

    A few days ago my PCs made an abortive attempt at hitting the House Morcane level, and after one round of realizing a Forbiddance spell was in place, and there were vampires waiting for them, they ran like hell. Well, last night's session, the Hunter-Killer Team came looking for the hooligans...

    [Dungeon] Which TSR Modules are "Classics"?

    Hey all, Everyone's listing their favourites. But not too many have answered the question on why they are classic. Erik, it's because they were sweeping, broad adventures with emphasis on action, mostly thinking man dungeons that killed as many PCs as we have stories for you. They were...

    Pick a skill; maximize it; share ideas here

    Another potential 'player trump' are the knowledge skills. No one in my group is high enough level, or powerful enough, but I've seen rolls over 25 in a knowledge skill really lay out the details of a monster that before the roll, was unknown and scary. Let's say you have a huge knowledge...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] City of the Spider Queen <SPOILERS>

    Well, obviously the tactics need to be modified. Was there a change to Black Puddings for doing damage to objects? I found that a very tough encounter for a party of 5 9th-10th level characters, with two 7th level cohorts. Of course, they split the 2 Black Puddings into 5 in one round ...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] City of the Spider Queen <SPOILERS>

    We're playing CotSQ and I'm converting it to 3.5 on the fly .... couple of things to note... 1. Vampires have DR/10 silver and magic 2. Forbiddance has WAY changed. Read the new spell carefully before they explore House Morcane (it's a lot more dangerous, in my opinion).

    Married with Children and D&D

    My kids are 3 and 5, and we've come up with a fairly equitable solution. Off the gaming room, we revamped my wife's sewing room to include a couch, a VCR, and all the kids movies'. That way, the kids are near to hand, and out of trouble while we play. They've hit a fairly independant age, so...
