    Great Moments in DM NPC play

    Well, I did have a cult freak out my players. The cult in question was trying to capture the bell in the church of Wee-Jas. Ringing this bell hightened your class level with regards to turning/rebuking undead and the cult wanted it to start building their undead army. Before the players...

    Help my soon to be 15th level wizard choose feats..

    Yeah, I could definately see opening up a combat with a quickened fly and then an improved invisibility. Or maybe a quickened glitterdust followed up by a confusion spell.

    Help my soon to be 15th level wizard choose feats..

    Wow, chain spell huh. I can definately see a lot of use from that. I don't have access to any of the splat books here at work, so I'll ask, can you chain buffs or maybe false life, that would be cool... A chained dispell magic sounds really sweet.

    Help my soon to be 15th level wizard choose feats..

    Very seldom am I low on hitpoints. My cohort is a devoted defender and I don't usually get attacked because I am often flying invisible (greater too) if I get the chance. Besides, I have a decent con.

    Help my soon to be 15th level wizard choose feats..

    First a little background... The campaign started with 12th level characters. I was warned (when I asked) that we probably wouldn't want to take a lot of downtime or have a good place to work on items so I didn't take any item creation feats. My character was a slave who was noticed by the...

    Domination question

    Best example I can come up with... The NPC was writing to his sister (a PC) talking about how much he hated being in the service of a lord because he hated be told what to do and how to do it. His lack of being a good guard earned him a one way trip to "special duty" which amounted being...

    It's a trick. Get an axe.

    What to do with my first and 2nd edition books...

    Well, I've decided, all my old books fit into one of those self assembling moving boxes that offices use when they move, you know the kind with handles on the side and the whole thing folds flat but pops into box shape. It can sit easily on the floor of the closet somewhere. Now I just have to...

    What to do with my first and 2nd edition books...

    We are going to be moving soon into a much smaller apartment. As a result we've had to take a long hard look at what we really need to take with us. I haven't played 2nd edition in about 2 years and I haven't played first edition since 2nd edition came out. Is there any kind of market for...

    What D&D cliches are you sick of?

    These seem more like complaints than cliches. Here's some cliches.... Campaigns that start with everybody sitting around a tavern table. Adventurers being hired to deal with a monster menace. Every rogue is a pickpocketing treasure hoarding scumbag. Haflings played like kender...

    The world is 99% ocean

    Here's what I've come up with so far... Obviously we're going to have a lot of aquatic races coming into play, mermen, shaughain, aquatic elves etc.. Some will be friendly to the land dwellers and those land dwellers that have taken to live on the sea due to overpopulation. There will of...

    The world is 99% ocean

    Definately a surface world (and by surface, I mean the water's surface) although occasionally the campaign will head to the underwater regions. I'm figuring that the land dwellers will be very protective of their land and space and I can see people trying to set foot on land without permission...

    The world is 99% ocean

    Well, that changes a couple of things. People are going to seriously rely on clerics just for potable water. Perhaps clans of gnomes use some contraption to seperate out the salt water and they sell clean water. They would use the most powerful of their wizards and clerics to guard the secret...

    The world is 99% ocean

    I am planning on running a campaign where the world is 99% ocean. Anybody got some cool ideas? I am already figuring on gnomes being a BIG race since they can cast predistigation as a racial ability and that should be good enough to turn sea water into fresh. Obviously Aquatic Elves and...

    Could Predistigation turn sea water into fresh

    Wizards don't usually do the food and water thing, but on the otherhand, the spell isn't purifying food and it's only desalting water so it seems like giving up everything else should be all the difference.

    Could Predistigation turn sea water into fresh

    I'm starting prelimary plans for a campaign where the planet is 99% covered in ocean. More than finding places to grow food, people are going to need fresh water. I'm thinking that predistigation should be good enough to desalt water. If that's the case then Gnomes would figure very highly into...

    Metamagic Feats - do you use them?

    The campaign I'm in now started at 12th level. The DM made it clear (when I asked) that he anticipated we wouldn't want or get a lot of down time. So I took a fair amount of metamagic feats... Silent Spell Still Spell Energy Substitution Energy Admixture I didn't take empower because I...
