    How to Fix a Slavery situation without murder? (Solved!)

    Here might be your answer - have them run the underground railroad, only maybe not quite so underground. They take up arms to help escaped slaves, then come into conflict with the slavers and plantation owners. Slavery only works as long as popular opinion supports it. The more people that...

    Air Elemental Whirlwind Questions

    Yes - most tornados start with the funnel hundreds of feet off the ground, then touch down. They've even been known to 'hop'.

    Rotating DM Game - need help fast!

    Amen. Your story hour rocks, PC - and the rules of DMing you posted once upon a time, somewhere, have made it into my DM folder of goodness. Thanks! And great setup for a backup campaign, by the way, blarg... Very flexible and easy to drop in at a moment's notice if people don't show up.

    "Prestige" Classes (Not PrC's)

    Well, in my campaign, there are some definite hierarchies that have been established. Paladins, Clerics and Monks all basically belong to the ruling class - it's a theocracy. Paladins have the most political power, though they are one of the smallest groups. Then Clerics and Monks. The bulk...

    D&D magic items in a literary work

    Considering that he mentioned several magic swords, magic staffs, "elvin" rope and cloaks, and an assortment of highly magic rings, I think he might mention them - if they were important. Certainly there is reason to think that, in fact, Legolas does have a magic bow, since Tolkien went on at...

    Slow Fall and Tumble

    Slow fall: dig a deeper pit. Make it more, say, chasm-like. Slow fall is, after all, limited in its max falling height... Unless your monk is approaching epic levels, that

    Which is the "Best" Ninja?

    Well, the real purpose of a ninja is, after all, to flip out and kill people, so I'm guessing the high BAB is what's really pumped.

    Magic sales and security

    And that, my friend, sums up the entire governmental structure of one of my cities... which works quite well, actually. Fortunately, the players have only been dumb enough to try stealing once, and that because they had to, and then they nearly lost their lives.

    With that last Agar, did you mean Priggle? Poor, ignored, second-fiddle Priggle... :( And, by the way, jumping on Stone Bear or Galthea is usually a quick way to a whole new plane of hurt...

    Shouldn't Prestige Classes be done differently?

    And if you think about it, there are quite a few prestige classes that work well together anyway: Sacred Exorcist and Hunter of the Dead and Consecrated Harriers Loremasters and Contemplatives Duelist and Dread Pirate Shadow Dancers and Arcane Tricksters (In fact, several of the above examples...

    What are your table rules?

    I've only codified a few table rules: ALl players will have enough dice to roll - simultaneously - all attack and damage dice their character is capable of doing in a round (criticals not withstanding). Damage dice will be color coded to their attack dice. That means, if you're a 13th level...

    What makes you geeky?

    What makes me geeky: I am a DM and Player of D&D. I've played D&D more than half my life. I think about D&D when I'm not playing. I know the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars. And I have profound, well-thought-out opinions about who would win in a blaster/phaser firefight. (Rebel...

    New campaign, hunters of the undead, I need class ideas.

    I run a fairly undead-heavy game myself. Our party consists of a mon/hunter of the dead, a ranger (favored enemy undead, of course), a cleric of the sun (undead turning MACHINE), a paladin cohort, a rogue, and a sorcerer with force and fire spells. They're pretty bad-ass, actually. Lots of...

    Can sieges withstand magical assault?

    If we are making the assumption that the fortress and defensive strategies are designed with magical assault in mind, then yes, I think it could hold - at least as well as a mundane siege can be resisted. So long as your spellcasters live, magic is, in essence, an endless resource... it renews...

    Paladin problems

    What would Worf do? That's an interesting connection... a Klingon Paladin. But I see your point, and it's a pretty good one - a warrior, but with honor. Interesting... I'll have to remember that!
