Actually, I kind of like it. Just remove "Morale", "Enhancement", "Luck", "Haste", "Profane", "Sacred", "Insight", etc. bonuses and make them all "Magic" bonuses. This would still allow an Str item to "stack" with a magic sword, but you couldn't then pile on bard songs, divine favor, etc.

We play every other week. At 1st-4th level, we level every other session so one/month. But when I had a campaign up in th 15th level area, they levels was more like every six sessions, so about every three months. One really slow section of a campaign took around 10 sessions to level, and...

Funny, I had the same problem. Players are odd sometimes.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the game is entirely prepackaged material that leans heavily on humanoid foes. True, the material could be altered, or other material sought out that fixes the issue, but alas, those pesky time constraints. I suppose I could give up ENWorld to search for...

One of my house rules is that you don't complain about the house rules. When a campaign starts, players read the house rules and make comments. If after tweaking the house rules a player still finds them unacceptable, that player should not play that game. Having one player complain about the...

At lower levels, we level every 2-4 weeks. At higher levels, it can take much longer.

Actually, the character in question is a rogue 1/warlock 1. There is some ability that give +6 to bluff and intimidate originally taken for feint. 5 ranks + 2 synergy + 3 ablity + 6 warlock = +16.

My (2nd-level) party has taken to the following tactic: Shaken a bad guy with something like "Cause Fear", then intimidate the guy to shaken him again which equals frightened causing the bad guy to flee. Since someone in the party has like +16 initimidate, so no creature ever beats the...

Funny, our AE game fell apart around level 15 because of the unbalanced magic system. As I recall there was a no-save stun effect from the acid template and the buff spells were like +10 to every relavant stat at that level. The game devolved into find the broken effect or combo. Pretty much...

I thought you meant Act II of Adventure I. My party is five characters that rolled very well (the average is about 42 point buy). They've been relying heavily on Torrent's wand for healing, and resting a lot.

I did state that at low levels dwarf is better. I'll take a 2nd level dwarf over a 1st level goliath any day. Dwarf still gets +2 versus spells, which is by far the better save bonus. And the Con bonus adds to hit points which don't change when you wildshape.

Dwarves make excellent monks and druids as well. I think comparing dwarves to half-giants is apples-and-oranges because dwarves are LA+0 and half-giants are LA+1. At higher levels, half-giants might be a touch better (and I might still disagree because of that +2 save thing dwarves get), but...

I've played a game without AoO, and flanking was trivially easy helping out rogues a good deal (allowing effectively automatic tumble success at full speed). And reach weapons and large creatures were rendered far less effective. In general, combat felt less "real". People could run between...

One simple change is to multiple all the casting times of spells by 10. So a standard action spell now takes 10 rounds to cast. This will make casters rely on magic items and long term buff spells.

Act 2 was tough, and long. It took at least two rests to finish it.

1. Standing up from prone does not provoke an attack of opportunity 2. Monks and paladins can multiclass freely 3. Power attack with 2-handed weapon does 3 damage for every -2 taken. 4. Natural Spell is a metamagic feat that costs a slot one level higher. 5. Rage grants +2 fort save and 2 temp...

We just finished Act 2 of Adventure 1. Some of the fights drew on quite long because of damage resistance, and there were two side quests in the four games. I'm hoping to speed through Acts 3&4 in one sitting. I'm dying to run the Fire Forest.

I don't have anything to add, but I wanted to say, Awesome Thread Title.

Okay, I'll try. Regardless of level, if you take damage down to -10, you die. But if you have one-hit-point toughness for an extra hit point, you would be at -9 and you live. If you don't die, you don't lose a level upon being raised. So one-hit-point toughness is like True Resurrection...

How about doubling your hit points for a given level (hit die roll and con)?
