If your party has a tendancy to Fight small (one to three) groups, then Whirlwind isn't going to be useful that often. If your party has a tendancy of Horde fighting, then Whirlwind starts to be really nice. That said, if you're going underwater, try for a PAO to Kraken if you have Whirlwind...

Look at the Zhentarium Sky Mage PrC (FR, Lords of Darkness, also 2002 GenCon Preview). In all, it appears to be covered by the Ride skill (or in this instance, possibly more specifically the PrC, depending on your interp). Also, I wouldn't be too sure to say Handle Animal was unnecessary, as...

With PC on this, let her taunt them, and make good use of their escape abilities. However, I would additionally suggest introducing the Dimensional Anchor spells to the campaign. For a nice sense of fun twist, make it so that they actually have to plunder some sort of dungeon to actually find...

Find a "quick epic" adventure to tie up party interests. It's ok for it to be a lesser event than the inquistor, possibly start playing up asking the players for hints on "resting goals" and how they would like their characters to fade. It may well be possible to go ahead with just a couple of...

Personally I think that 'catering to the hardcore fans' was a bit inevitable. Or at least, the same practice that resulted in much of the disdain for the DS campaign setting (the novels trivalizing the players, the novels adding new rules) caused the 'empty' feel for the 3e revision. The CS...

Hmm, mostly, you should have just put off attacking the goblin till the rest of party was in position for the party to make use of the Surprise Round. Also, remind the rest of your party to actually ask more often if they can get a surprise round action in. I know I personally forget about the...

At the 20th level, it's my experience that most Meat Shield types go for fortification of some sort (with Heavy being the most common ) which will reduce the Splat factor of Crit Fear. It's also common in the 'General Adventurers' rather than duelists. In any event, they both r0x0r my Melee...

Ok, I'll bite, WHat exactly was the ecology of the Flumph?

Hmm, is Power Resistance based on Power Level in the revision? Also for Disintegrate, remember, it's save or Massive Damage now :).

My campaign is primarily 3.0 rulebase with some EQ thrown in for flavor :).

3.0 MotP also mentions it at Level Adjustment +2. It sorta should be noted that Psionic and Non-Psionic Githzerai are a bit different (in 3.0 ruleset). They lose a feat (Inertial Armor is moved to a 'Special' ability for MotP), but they gain two attack/defense modes, which may net the...

Hehe, on Aoskar, possible my memory blurring, and also the same on the second. May also be possible for a Canon-Breach in Planescape:Torment (which I'm considering given how the city itself behaves in that game). I seem to recall it from the details on the Mazes in the boxed set, which I'm now...

The Lady is defined as undefined. Simple as that, your best shot at it is to take the heresy of Die Vecna, Die. Aside from that, the Lady can be WHATEVER the DM wishes her to be for their campaign purposes. She can be a freaking ghost of a kid's lost teddybear for all we know. To the rampant...

Ah thank you. I hate getting FRA and Full-Round Casting confused... Resolved and goodie good now hopefully. So I can't actually do what I had initially intended (Teleport away from Spell Area) from an Substituted Spell. But, a naturally Full-Round Cast spell is possible in that method. The...

I believe the existance of surprises, even as dramatic as an instant-shot, are good to most any campaign. I had a nice fun surprise (for both myself and the party) last session when I made an interesting discovery about the 3.0 Pit Fiend... Meteor Swarm 1/day makes for one hurt person. I'll...

My real problem with adventures that don't scale is they intentionally self-limit their available audience. There's also the problem of handling the adventure's pacing if you use a different leveling rate (or experience rate, amounts to the same thing). It also tends to create a few too many...

Hehe, actually, it's 3.0 ruleset (Should have mentioned in thread text, but I'm getting lazy with the new tags methinks :). Kinda curious as to the distinction made for spontaneous metamagicking a spell however. It says it's a full-round attack and takes effect at the beginning of the caster's...

Almost all NPCs in my campaign. Krush, the Half-Orc Barbarian fits the Dumb Half-Orc template quite well :). Has a trouble with bleeding profusely when he rages, a condition he tends to remedy afterwards by drinking more ale to replace the lost alcholol. Sadly, he has since lost one of his...

Just had a semi-evil thought while contemplating Sorcerers and Metamagic feats, although it would typically apply to any spell that takes a full round or longer to cast. The situation I'm pondering is if the 'intended' target of an area effect spell relocates out of the area of effect of the...

If the dragon makes use/abuses it's tactical advantages, it may be difficult for a party to actually kill a dragon, but more than possibly for a party to force the dragon into retreat. Something to remember, that I have at least noticed, is the Mage will typically have a similiar level of...
