    English-Elvish-English Language Translations: Requests Welcome

    Not to interrupt your Ebay'ing/Pay Pal'ing... but I have some new PC's in a party who might like to have some elvish background through their names. The first would be: Warrior-wielding-magic The next: Uses-magic-for-protection The last (with elvish background): Priest-of-magic I dont' know...

    Planar Ally spells & Vow of Poverty?

    Possibly have the Planar Ally able to put a Geas/Quest on the character in question? That would make sure that the character would "repay" the Deva, Solar, etc for their services, and would eliminate the need for any money to change hands at all. Possible?

    D500 adventure ideas!

    (btw, I absolutely LOVE this thread!) 233. In the misdt of a random encounter with X (goblins, hobgoblins, even orcs I guess) the attacking group stops what they are doing and offers the PC's King-ship over their tribe. Only come to find out, they are being slaughtered by a greater power and...

    Fantasy Geography

    After seeing a special on the Qum'ran (spelling ?), the isolationist-extremist Jewish community located outside of Jerusalem in ancient days, I have really, REALLY had a thing for buildings built over and on rivers, straddling them, with waterfalls and the like. Also, Fallingwater, for those...

    When should players challenge the DM and when should they be quiet?

    In our campaign, we have three VERY NEW players (2 who have never played before, and 1 who is an old-school convert), myself, and a DM who has played longer than... well... a long time. We handle things like this: As the most experienced one playing, I usually field all the...

    D500 adventure ideas!

    46- Something apparently cast Hold City, freezing everyone (except the party, though maybe one member is held) in their tracks. 47- Two NPC's come chasing after each other and begin fighting (Matrix style) in the town square. Any detections show that they are BOTH good. 48- Boxes with what...

    any tactics for a definsive wizard?

    Thank you. Amen. Preach on, Brother Elder-B. I tried this approach about two/thirds of a page ago, and got nowhere. But glad to hear a second.

    Light spell

    It's definitely a point on any object... if not.. then you could cast light on a 50' rope and an entire party of humans could see 90' total, ahead and behind them, assuming the whole object glowed. It is for sure a point, and if that point is put away, or in a container with full cover, then no...

    +1 level of existing divine spellcasting?

    Domain spells, the "+1" at each slot, are on the Cleric's spells-per-day list. Therefore, he/she gains them as normal, even through advancing in a "+1 spellcasting level" PrC. "Per the SRD: '[T]he character gains new spells per day as if he...' " He would not however, get any bonuses listed...

    Player vs. Player

    We had a large party, around eight characters (six who were there regularly) and unbeknowst to the party as a whole we were half and half, 4 good and 4 evil. Well, getting the campaign started was easy, and we moved well through some random encounters/camping/travelling.. but as soon as we got...

    any tactics for a definsive wizard?

    Thats okay. I'm not disputing that an abjurer or any kind of "utility character" can add things to a party. But take Scribe Scroll and make scrolls of those spells, so you can cast those in the less-than-common-instance they are needed, and load up with some spells that will give your char...

    Too good to be coincidence?

    An 8th level wizard surviving a 9d6 fall? I dont think your DM scr*wed you, I think he was merciful and helpful, maybe fudging his die rolls to keep you alive. Even with a 15 CON (+2) you would still be roughly one d6 behind that falling damage. Seems like maybe he did you a favor. Or maybe he...

    Downtime

    It seems as though every fantasy/sci-fi knight has a town orphan, ruffian, kid, etc that runs up to them with an admiring gleam in their eye, each time the hero rides back into town. Or a barkeep that has to hear all the latest news and gossip. Or the town shaman/adept who breathlessly awaits...

    any tactics for a definsive wizard?

    I've heard this said: "Sometimes the best defense, is a good offense" All of the suggestions above are VERY good. However, sometimes having the offensive firepower to end *some* encounters on your first turn is a good thing. To me, especially with your 5% worry-ings, AC-boosting spells and all...

    During D&D combat, how do you run it?

    John Madden would be proud of our group. Legal pads all the way, baby! arrows, and erasings, and crooked walls, with no sense of scale... watching our group in combat is a beautiful and warped thing. :D

    Why does WotC hate innate casters?

    First off, thanks to everyone who replied. I get so focused in on my little mental side of the argument that its good to hear other points-of-view. My point is, however, not one of over or underpowered, really. I understand balance. I really do. It just seems like, now, with the Mystic class...

    Why does WotC hate innate casters?

    With the release of Dragonlance, and Miniatures Handbook there are now two (that I know of) innate divine casters produced by WotC. Looking at them, as well as, the core sorcerer class, does anyone here @ EN have any insight as to why it takes innate casters a WHOLE EXTRA level to get 2nd...

    sorcerer tweak.. comments/balance/etc?

    Very much so, Nightfall. Thanks. I was very interested in SL when it first arrived on the scene, *way* back when in the 3.0 days. But it didn't catch on with my gaming group with the same kind of intensity. So I shelved those first couple of Sw&Sor books I had purchased. But this is very...
