The rules talk about what happens to PC's when their Familar dies, but what happens to the Familar when the PC dies?

Ouch!!

In my game leveling up generally just happens except for the following exceptions. Arcane spell users must indicate at each level, which spells they are working on for the next spell level. It soesn't cost anything but just reflects that they have begun the thought process. If they change...

XP for Creatures that can summon other creatures equal or greater than their own EL. How do you calculate XP for these situations?

Why would an area effect cause more damage if used against a massed Unit? Or do you mean a Unit of Mages (in your fireball example) causes the extra damage as opposed to a single mage vs. the unit?

Thanks Mark. Some of these items will be of use to the defenders, as they are a trained military unit (in a hostile nation). The attackers (the party and others) most likely willl not be able to use any, seeing as they just arrived in the area, and have 2 - 3 days to gather an assortment of...

Greetings, Does anyone have any links to a simple, effective and easy to use method/mechanism for larger scale combats? The party in my game will be assaulting a small keep defended by at least 100 men. The party will have a support force of about 60 men. I want the battle to flow fairly...

Just to stir the pot. I believe in only 5 alignments. Chaotic Good Neutral Good Chaotic Neutral Neutral All else is Evil

How about on a 'Save or Die' the results are not instantaneous, ie. drop the recipient to -1 HP and unconciousness. Then they have ~10 rounds to stablize or be healed. For the turning to stone type of spells, immediately drop all STR DEX CON stats by 10(or what ever appropriate value you decide)...

I second 'The Malazan Book of the Fallen' series. If you haven't read this series (still on going) you are really missing something. Be forewarned, I have read the first three books 3 times each in the last year and each time my understanding of the 'world' has vastly increased. The first book...

Thanks, By the way since I am the DM, I intend to use this manouver to 'Darkness' the whole party and then sit back and send in the Bat with 'Shocking Grasp' and 'Chill Touch' :D

The spell I'm thinking of is 'Darkness'. It doesn't say one way or another about attended objects. I wanted to have a Sor. cast Darkness on his Bat familiar's collar then use the Bat to deliver a 'Darkness' spell onto my opponent's equipment.

Can it be cast on an object worn by a creature if they are unaware of what is happening, or do their personally equiped items qualify as part of the 'creature'?

If a spell has a target type 'object', can it be cast on a creature?

My players tend to very effective tactics and execution, not to mention a high degree of luck. I am finding it difficult at time to present challenging encounters using the DMG EL guidelines. The encounters are either too easy or impossible. Part of this is due to DM error :rolleyes: and part...

Does anyone have an effective method for calculating EL's for parties with with cohorts, followers, and hirelings? Do you just add up the levels and divide by 4?

That seems a bit excessive for a 50 GP item:eek:

Thanks, I knew that I had read it somewhere but I just couldn't find it. Neither appeared in the index.

Where do I find the stats for these items? Thanks Davek

I think that the question shouldn't be whether we have the skills to survive this scenario, but rather do we have the mental toughness to adapt to the scenario. Unfortunately our western societies have long held the belief that we are 'civilized beings' many steps removed from primal...
