An idea going back to the fictional source material is that casters police themselves. See Murgen's Edict for an example.

Right now I'm trying to decide if $2500 is the right price for an exploded blood sausage...

Looks like I'm a bit hard to peg from the % breakdowns. I guess it fits with my preferred "heroic but flawed figures who triumph against the odds" playstyle.

My favorite part about this post is that the Soneillon wasn't talking about the Urn, and wasn't really talking to Mostin.

The only reason I brought it up in the first place was because the Joe's Forum letter was written in the same style as his posts :).

So I was reading through some old Dragon issues, and ran across a letter in the Forum from our own JoeGKushner. It occurred to me that Dragon's Forum was the only outlet back then for the kinds of discussions we have here today. So who else from the board participated in the debates of...

Except of course for all those jerks over at ENWorld. ;)

Which, I believe, was the intent behind the hooks in the first place.

I was thinking more along the lines of power attack being the silver lining, but yeah - extra iterative.

Martial weapon, d6, x2 crit with a range of 20, does all three types of damage (bludgeoning, piercing, slashing).

One of these things is not like the other. Two of these things are kind of the same. In an "evil" campaign (or any campaign in which anti-heroes or villains as protaganists feature heavily), being banished, hounded by the law, and threatened with trials are par for the course. They are also...

Define "involved." I can't imagine the town using force either way. I can, however, see some townsfolk turning a blind eye due to profit motive, or because they hated "that uppity knight." I can also see other folks closing their doors to the PC (and his associates) and being confrontational...

I keep seeing this. If Paladin powers are common knowledge, doesn't it follow that it's also common knowledge that smites only work on things that are Evil, proving that the swordsage is likewise Evil (note the capital E), and tainting other people's future interactions with him? I think this...

Don't run 2 and 2 - run 4 and 4. Each player has 2 PCs, played on alternating sessions. When focused on the mines, everyone uses the prisoners. When focused on the covert military operation, everyone uses soldiers/spies/operatives. At some point, you'll have a mingling of the groups (the...

Recently I used Unseen Servant to create a bunch of white noise on a burrowing creature with using tremorsense (by pounding on the ground away from our actual position). Saved my (and at least one other PC's) butt.

There's a phylactery around somewhere that says no, I think.

Ideas: Summon things to tie up the tentacles. It'll make the player feel like those tentacles are useful, while still allowing Big Evil to wallop the party. Better, summon things to grapple the Warlock. Ride a beast into battle who's only action would be to ready an action to move whenever the...

You're going to get skewed results due to the origins of this community.

The key, I think, would have been the mind blanks - but to be fair the players had been the first to "up the ante" on that one. I think I'd have been miffed a bit up until reminded of that. But really, I don't think it would have registered much with me if the Black Circle was obviously...

After about 13th level, our group came to the same conclusion. However, since our major foes always seemed to end up being other humanoids, negating those iterative and power attacks was gold. One thing that seemed to really help was layered defense. Stone skin + displacement/blur + AC buffs...
