Never mind...

Forgive my ignorance... ship's draft

Thanks guys for all the help... At some other point in their journey they'll be fighting scrags. Scrags are easy, they close, grapple, pull people off the boat and pin them to the bottom until they stop squirming. :] Mostly though this post is a way to bump the thread without just posting "bump"

Haven't. What were the high points?

My players (who are all elves) are about to take an ocean voyage as they continue on a journey that takes them all waaaay outside of their forest home. I've got a few ocean encounters planned but I was thinking I want something a little different for a pirate encounter. I was thinking gnome...

6 years ago before we got married my wife and I paid nearly 500 dollars for this and I spent weeks sniping eBay options to get about 1000 generic but good quality chips in nice carrying cases. About 2 years ago (maybe 3) poker EXPLODED. Now our single table hold-em tournaments we run monthy...

I did say "if at all possible"

Another Thread mentioned the gm's code of ethics What should be part of the code? I'll start... If at all possible anything that happens during a session should be possible via the rules and within the bounds of versimilitude. NPCs should not exist to outcool the PCs. Outrank, outwit, and...

The group is going to encounter bandits lead by a 6th level wizard. Obviously in his past he's had the ability and opportunity to add to his spell book beyond his starting spells and the two he gets a level. I was maybe thinking of an extra 2 3rd level spells, 4 extra second level spells and...

Sadly, Point buy is a necessity as I cannot be bothered to deal with Stat envy when somebody rolls waaaay better than the rest of the group. For a while I did 30 but my latest campaign is 28 and it's just fine. I might eventually go with 25 for a future campaign but I doubt it as I have larger...

While not blood thirsty, they will use lethal force to protect their lands. The party ran up against a hunting party and the hunting party tried to drive them off. The savages are aware of the party and the fact that the party killed the hunt leader in fair combat so they want to prove their...

Can you think of a better way to incompacitate (sp?) a group of elves to steal away a female?

Well, it's actually unconsiousness, not sleep so they'd be affected.

They don't have to get especially close since they'll be firing an arrow into a fire. It would actually sadden me if they managed to knock the entire group out without a struggle. It's more of an opening salvo type thing than a whole encounter. They'll be seriously outnumbered if it comes...

Here's the situation. The Party is comprised of all elves except for their Human guide. They've made an incursion into "savage" territory (actually they are just trying to pass through) The savages are humans, very native-americanish, and they want to come at night and kidnap one of the...

Just wanted to verify that this is not complete, yes? I still haven't been re-added. I purchased towards the very end (during the extended time) of the last sale.

I have always gone with the "forty-twenty rule" your most expensive item cannot be more than 40% of your starting gold, all other items cannot be more than 20% I have ever so stretched this to about 43% for the big item but it eliminates starting higher level characters with one cool item and...

Growing up my Dad played this RPG called "cowboys and indians" sometimes they played "cops and robbers" I'm pretty sure those predate D&D but the combat rules were lacking to put it mildly.... "I shot you" "nuh uh, you missed and I shot you first BANG" "Ha, I have a bullet proof vest"

You don't ALWAYS throw crit immune creatures at the rogues just like you don't ALWAYS throw spell resistant creatures at spell casters or red dragons at the dwarf with the flaming burst war axe. You just do it on occasion so that occasionally they have to go with plan B or plan C. Of course...

I have never, never, never, EVER like psionics. This goes all the way back to 1st edition's random psionic characters and the joke of 2nd edition psionics. That being said. I'm about to start a campaign that will feature abberations and I managed to get a chance to leaf through the XPH...
