Hello, I've searched the forums (unsuccessfully) and scanned many books, but I can't find a ruling on how greater turning works in relationship to vampires. My initial reaction is that while it may be possible to reduce a vampire to 0 hp and force it to gaseous form by this method, that...

Thanks, pawsplay, I had thought about ignoring the type change, but I'd like to stick to the rules as much as possible since I don't want my players turning things around on me, or simply just whining, "That's not fair!!!" ;) Goblyn, you are correct! :) The Corpse Creature template will work...

Hi, I'm currently running a short term gestalt campaign focusing on the Seeds of Sehan adventure arc from Dungeons 145-7. As part of the general campaign setting for this, I've adopted a perspective that there are forces which are consciously aware of and fighting against incursions of Far...

Whether player or DM, I tend to prefer long term games for role-playing, and short term games for roll-playing. Some of the groups I've gamed with over the past couple decades have had great storylines that explored the depth of the characters and the love of playacting while journeying from...

I've unzipped my chapter three files and the stats file and map file are misnamed with an "01" instead of an "03". Doesn't really affect stats since the 01 version is named Combat Stats, but the maps is identical to the chapter 1 maps file. Be careful not to overwrite the earlier file.

So many laughs from this strip, but one of my favorites was with Fruit Pie the Sorcerer. :) http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0091.html

One time, at band camp... I actually did get introduced to D&D at band camp, I was a high school freshman in 1980 and some of the seniors had their AD&D 1e books with them. I started flipping through the Monster Manual, understanding almost nothing (how many Demogorgons can you fight at once?)...

I grew up in the Allentown area, went to CCHS and then Penn State, and now work at PSU in State College. Wilkes Barre area is only a couple of hours away, so I may be able to bring a few folks if something like this materializes. I can also place an ad for it down at the FLGS when it becomes...

I didn't vote because at 12th level you're well past what I'm planning for my 3rd level warlock, which is the Eldritch Theurge PrC from Complete Mage. You gain invocations and eldritch blast increases as a warlock, spells as an arcane caster, and a few unique invocations such as spellblast...

The only thing I would do in this case is to double check that the items for this cleric are in accord with what is to be expected for a 5th level NPC cleric. According to the DMG on p. 115, a 5th level NPC cleric should have roughly 4500-5000 gp worth of stuff. Since the cost of the circle of...

Hey Von, The page Darklone cited lists the following: Supernatural Blow MW 25 Choose one favored enemy that is immune to critical hits. You know how to place blows against this opponent for best effect. The page seems to describe the feat as providing a benefit that could be applied to...

Yes, that seems the closest thing to the idea I'm seeking. Thanks for the citation, that page in general is pretty cool! :)

This isn't a guide, but a question. Is there any way to gain the ability to critical hit undead? I thought there was a prestige class somewhere that had that as a class ability, and I also thought that I read an article in Dragon just before the release of Tome of Magic that included a...

It's just fun.

Too right. In our final session for a long running campaign last Friday night, our group of 17th level characters faced off against the tarrasque. We had legacy weapons (basically the whole campaign had consisted of quests related to acquiring and activating these items) as well as buffs to...

And I was hoping to be the first to cite Glibness! :) Just last session, my newly-minted cohort (a 10th level githzerai beguiler) rolled a natural 20 to get a 78 on a Bluff check to lie to a captive. No Sense Motive getting out of that one! ;) And yes, I do LOVE the +30 untyped bonus! Much...

hunh...the definition I found was this: "Lycanthropies- n.pl.- declicious, golden-crusted epicurean delicacies stuffed with were-beast filling." ;) <<insert groans here>>

Hey, isn't this one of the characters on NBC's "Heroes"? ;)

I'm not sure how many people have read it, but Mongoose Publishing released a great book on dragons a while back (the Classic Play Book of Dragons) that has a detailed section on customization. It allows for all sorts of options for dragons - focus on melee, focus on breath, focus on magic -...

Actually the errata to Complete Arcane states that the eldritch blast is always a level one effect, probably for the ability to use it with Quicken SLA. I guess the counterbalance is that it is no longer as effective at overcoming SR.
