I'm bad with poisons. I remember to ask for the initial fort save, but unless it's a really long fight, I sometimes forget the second volley of saves some undetermined time after the party starts mopping up. Meh, poison's overused by monsters anyway.

Let's be honest. How much of that first part was actually roleplayed, and how much of it was "You look trustworthy. Come, join us on our quest!" exactly? Interesting ending, too. You handled much more of the dungeon in a non-violent fashion than I expected. Most groups that I heard of...

I expected to get an update this weekend, but to be honest, I couldn't find the time or concentration. We didn't have a game last weekend, so I'm only one game behind. That said, I'm considering a hiatus of some indeterminate length. I'm beginning to worry about my motivation for this story...

I suppose Samson and Marias should be glad they're still HEs, for that matter. I'm not sure if that little aspect still exists in the reincarnate tables, but it would make sense.

I always figured that when Anwar gets a hand on Lavinia's inheritance and decides she's no longer needed, or when the woman actually develops a clue on the subject, the party could break when deciding her fate.

I'm actually of the theory that the entirety of the OotS is completely DM and player-less. That is, the entire OotS-verse was created based on the expectations a D&D game's universe requires: an obvious disparity between PCs and NPCs, plot railroading, adventure hooks appearing out of nowhere...

The Scream of Steam: the Right Paranoia at the Wrong Time As the wasp flew over the inky, black ocean, the party had no idea what was in store for them. One thing they didn’t guess, though, was how long it would take for them to get there. The hours passed, and soon the sun rose again. But...

Remember when, way back at the start of the campaign, I was worried about how you guys would do, since you don't generally like the really lethal adventures? I mentioned another SH here on ENWorld were some very experienced players were often killed. In paticular, I remember one fight that was...

Swarm's Hive: Crazy Moon Cultists, Best Friends Forever! The party drew ever closer to the fortress, but by the time night fell, they were still several hours away. Not eager to finish the journey in those conditions, they made camp for the night. As he stood watch, Elvis noticed that it was...

...I never even knew Joss Whedon RAN a D&D game. Is he looking for new players?

With episode 400 coming up, I suspect that's for a reason. We'll probably finish up the denoument on Nale and then learn what Roy's really been doing for so long. I'm guessing either learning of the hobgoblin army or fighting Miko.

I don't see any real problem with the bard. I'm more concerned when comparing it to one class specifically: the Dragon Savant. I haven't seen enough enough of the class in action, but they seem to serve similar "buff" rolls, but the Savant has a more consistent power and a higher HD...

Yeah, when I first heard you guys were doing this story hour, this was the adventure that made me nervous. It seemed to trip up other games in other Story Hours, including one who handled "the Module," albeit a 3.0 version thereof. That being said, I trust Wizardru to handle things...

Swarm's Hive: Surrendering Your Way to Victory Vel studied his contacts carefully, eagerly scanning their every move and emotion. This was where he must utilize all the skills he learned as an Operative. He knew that his so called underlings were hiding something, but now he had something of...

I mean in the main headline for the Story Hour itself. As in, calling it "JollyDoc's Savage Tide (Updated 12/xx/06)." I thought that was the format you used in earlier SH threads, and it seems to be the standard in general around here.

Out of curiosity, are you not labeling the dates of your updates intentionally? For some unknown reason, enworld works really badly at work; adobe keeps on complaining about plug-ins for some reason. So I usually only check story hours when I can read a new update and then grab the new...

Welcome To...:Sympathy for the Unspeakable Horror “What do we do now?” Anastacia quietly asked, her voice quiet out of fear shock at what she saw around her. Luke had pulled out the map, desperate for answers. “We should try the park again,” Enrique suggested as he looked over Luke’s...

Wow, I'm sorry I started all this. I didn't know the situation was still this bad about this debate. Like I said, I haven't had to deal with monk attacks + natural weapons since the 3.0 days, which honestly were still more confusing than this. Anyway, whether the GM accepts the FAQ is...

Just letting everyone know that I know there haven't been many updates lately. Like I warned, last month was busy with other writing projects, but we missed a game due to Thanksgiving vacation, so I'm not much behind. I have a game this Saturday, and expect the next update a few days from there.

I'm sure this one has been asked a lot, but I haven't had to deal with it as a DM an a 3.5 environment yet, and it may come up soon. What's the official ruling on how monks can use natural attacks? Are they completely incompatible with the unarmed strike damage and flurry of blows, or can some...
