Re: Fuel! Sure I will. This only applies to my game however so YMMV. I had a player Ranger/Druid with a Wolf Companion in a Solo game. He was watching some 5 Giants (Hill) and some 40 Orcs getting ready to attack a Caravan. He was 8th level. He REALLY thought about it. He decided to...

As a counterpoint to the "Mercy" will bite you crowd. I DM. I am DMing a group through the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. They have been playing for about 6 months. They have showed mercy, even the LN Dwarf of doom. SPOLIERS FOR THE RttToEE. . . . . .. . . . . . spoiler space . ...

With all the cries for doing away with alignment, and all the cries of "Good does not equal Dumb" I have wondered for a while if modern players are so awash in the morass of reality, so stuck in "It's all Shades of Gray", that they cannot fathom Goodness? Goodness USED to be different in movies...

333 Dave Yeah life is funny like that. My players all said it was Their gods attempt to save them through assassination of the DM.

This is why most people think mercenaries and adventurers (which sadly are the same thing most of the time) are CRAZY. Every fight could go badly. Example: 5 7th level characters encounter 2 Trolls. They kill one NO PROBLEM. The second attacks the party Cleric rolling 3 criticals in a ROW...

I was not suggesting that DM's throw the SAME encounter at you if you avoid it heh, unless the encounter is someone hunting you. I am suggesting that as you adventure most DM's DO figure out what to do to challenge you. They figure the CR and the ECL and do their best to give you a "good...

If you are playing Neutral mercenaries only concerned for themselves, well then there are different expectations to be sure! This is becoming the "Main" way to play 3E I've noticed. It's better to live than to risk too much. Very modern thinking. In MY games, if you are good there is a price...

This is true. However WHEN you run makes the difference. If you are walking to get milk and a Demon attacks you out of the blue and you Teleport away... well then I don't as a DM have any problems with that. When your "Good" characters are hanging around a place that gets attacked by a bunch...

Heh. My players are more afraid of Huuman commoners than Ogres because "He could be a wizard!" So this does not turn total player bashing here's a DM Thought. DM's will rarely fault you for running away from a horde of orcs, a dragon, or other "minor" threats while trapsing through the woods...

A Virtual Hello to ya! :cool:

I, as a DM, have had too many players who constantly try to judge what is a difficult fight, and then run away when they think they've found one. They are so worried about their characters dying they don't care about the plot, their CHARACTERS motivations, nothing. They simply want to "Win"...

Well in each of the books containing Special Materials they ARE well defined? I don't understand what you want? Adamantine for Example is Real Hard and provides an Enhancement bonus, even in Anit-Magic Areas. This enhancement bonus is naturally part of the metal, and it allows a person using...

Ignore my comments? Why because I'm freaking right you moron? Bite me loser. Ignore your own stupidity you meant to say? ;) Natural does not MEAN anything in the contect of Enhancement? Don't like it? Tough. (I should have been more clear myself heh... my sarcasm doesn't flow well in...

I don't understand why the English language confuses people so. Adamantine provides a Natural Enhancement Bonus. The WORD Natural in the sentance provides the reader with the knowledge that the Enhancement bonus is part of the metal itself. It's not some quasi-descriptor in the sentance...

Could you be ANY MORE RIGHT? Don't think so! :D

Double Natural Speed = Yes. Double a Spells Movement Rate = NO, unless said spell makes Wings on you, or fins, etc.

Well I would not allow it. I don't allow "I cast Light on his Eyes!" That's blindness spell. I don't allow "I use Item spell on a safe, trick the guy into swallowing it, now he dies!" That's Stupid. I don't allow "I reduce the rock, throw it into the dragon, then Elarge it!" It's Stupid...

Icebear... There will be now. :p

You kill your own argument with the above comments. Stupid Enough to stand close to eachother? This comment always makes me laugh. I guess none of your adventures ever take place in a limited area? Your PC's are always 30 to 50 ft apart huh? Even with 1 speed it only takes 5 rounds to get...

If you can't hit your PC's AC here are some suggestions: Use thrown touch attacks such as Alchemist Fire/Tanglefoot Bag. Use Aid another, especially useful for Grappling. If PC's get swarmed by weak enemies, but each is surrounded by 8 of them, and they all but 1 aid one, that one gets +14 to...
