Leave things somewhat open and unplanned. Then LISTEN to your players think outloud. Some of the things they come up with will just be too brilliant/stupid/juicy to ignore and you can have those things happen and they will seem brilliant for having figured something out and you will look like...

Wow, right you are. Can't believe I missed that. Must be just for flavor, which is funny because I see all those apparently spell like abilities being supernatural or extrodinary also as a matter of flavor.

Monks have spell like abilities. Don't you want concentration ranks so you can abundant step without getting attacked?

The only punishment involved should be scorn and derision from the other players. You as DM shouldn't even NEED to get involved. If another player did that while I was playing I'd laugh at them and call them all kinds of names. Of course in my ideal world the players would NEVER EVER have to...

I think we are going with a good cop/ bad cop with my wizard and the paladin. Just me threatening him with baleful polymorphing and the paladin trying to talk me out of it and then doing the "if you talk I can keep him from turning you into a newt. Any other ideas...

Thanks guys, keep em coming...

The party was originally found by an envoy from the elven kingdom. His companions died on the journey to find us. He lead us into a trap as he was a disguised (via a hat of disguise) Teifling and not an elf. When the battle started he shadow jumped (he's a shadow dancer) and got away before...

Player 1 (A ranger of questionable integrity): Where is the shady part of town? Player 2: A 20 foot radius centered on you.

What about the devoted defender? Any changes to the class from S&F?

I see the +1 BAB set to specifically prevent single classed non-warrior types from being able to use weapon finesse before 3rd level. Taking it at 1st level and not being able to use it until second level circumvents this.

Chiming in late here but... Weapon finesse is the perfect example why I don't allow this when I game and would put to eliminate the house rule if I were playing in someone elses game. Weapon finesse has a +1 BAB. I see two possible reasons for this. 1) Being able to use a weapon with...

I believe that the one thing wouldn't be a gaming aide. After I got all the people and pets out I'd probably grab my Criterion DVD of Hard Boiled and get the hell out. If however, I was to be stranded on a desert island with only one gaming aide, it would be my laptop with DM Genie and the...

My group rotates campaigns and DM's about every 4-6 months so we all get to play. In my campaign we used this variant for everything requiring a D20 except initiative. The current DM is using it only for combat. I (obviously) like my way better, but whatever.

In all seriousness, I think wether you use a map and some kind of mini/counter/pebble/penny to show creatures depends on your group. The group I play with has people who without the grid & counters would slow down the game discussing to death where they were and what physically happening...

Don't you mean a 2 square pole? ;)

Well, we gamed today. Before the session started we presented our concerns and explained that proper ettiquette is not to involve characters in backgrounds the way that she did without first asking. She was totally willing to make adjustments and nobody had to get upset. The group is...

Upon a second rereading, I'm somewhat inclined to agree. I've talked with some of the other gamers and we are planning on quietly and camly bringing up our objections with the backstory and making some reasonable suggestions. One player briefly talked to the DM. The impression the player got...

I'd rather not post the link as it's not my website. However, here's the history. (followed by my character's history) and mine for comparison...
