I'd suggest information gather. Either a rogue or a wizard, or both. Someone who can gather information to help the dwarf, keep him abreast of everything coming his way.

From the WOTC site there's this map http://www.wizards.com/leaving.asp?url=/dnd/images/mapofweek/Flooded_Sanctum_2_xax8e_300dpi.jpg&origin=dnd_mw_X1002a Or there's this one http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MW_WL/02_WeaponsLegacy_72_ppi_cc2912.jpg

Technically none. But I do use alot of the UA as basis for house rules. Spotanous metamagic. Armour as Damage reduction (Conan d20 is better) Bloodlines Weapon groups Incantations.

They only reason I ever use these feats is if I want to use them on skills I max out, and use regularly. The +2 gives you a +2 above the normal level max, which is a useful advantage if chosen carfeully.

Some things I've tried to use for speeding things up. Sorting out Minis beforehand. If i'm not gaming at my house I seperate them into diferent boxes for each encounter. So I open each box for each encounter. Rather than use Pcgen, I Take notes from it and write them onto DM sheets I got from...

My suggestion with a mell orientated party as you described would be to , moon, taunt, and insult the monsters till they chased you into a bigger room. Then fight them :D I belive the problem here is not the 5' corridors but the number of encounters in 5' corridors. If you have more than a...

I'd use the crystalkeep / hypertext d20 sites lists as a starting point and add on any other stuff you needed. I know I use their weapon list to remind me what all the magical wepaon/armour does. http://crystalkeep.com/d20/index.php http://www.d20srd.org/

Paraphrased from the DMG, if the EL is 1 to 4 levels above the party. Then one or more characters may die. Twofalls original choice of a CR2 monster agianst a 1st level party , gave the exactly the right result one or more characters died.

I assumed as she was the DMs sister, she new what the DMs style was. IME if you know the style and your turning up. Your enjoying it somewhat.

I voted Renaissance , because my current campaign is FR. When i'm running homebrew settings I much prefer low technolgy settings with DnD. And then its a choice between pre or post stirrup.How advanced metal working technogy is , and how many people are literate. DnD and later eras never made...

I'm kinda wondering why she wants to play such a social character, if she struggles somewhat in that direction? Wolfwood2, from you description of how your DM runs the game. I would suggest you don't expect X to be the social PC, but rather use the bard as the character who changes NPC minds...

I once managed succesfully to pretend to open a gate to hell and summon a demon. Cast silent image of a firey gate opening, and throw some sulpher into the air. Fooled the orcs that we're giving us a beating, into running off.

I'm primarily looking for a climatic encounter than ends with the party escaping with the prisoners. Things like drow, derro, quaggoth, mindflayer etc as vampires could be interesting.

My current campiagn will becoming to the end of an adventure arc soon. And I'd like to hear if anyone has some inspiring ideas for me. The plot arc will have the party trying to rescue fifty plus prisoners from the Lair of a vampire Rakshasa. Who specilizes in alchemy and magic diseases. And...

My big eye opener for 3.x rules was playing with other D20 systems. Traveller, Conan and Chuthlu. As much as I enjoyed the earlier editions of D&D , I wouldn't use anything but a D20 system now.

This to me seems the best explanation as to why they canceled the licence to piazo. You wouldn't want a 3rd party company producing licenced products if your charging members a fee for premium content.

To me the only reason for Wizards, to just kill the licence, and not alter/renegotiate it. Is that they feel Dragon/Dungeon was/would be affecting their core sales , and future plans(DI). I don't believe competition was a problem, or Piazo profitbilty. Perhaps when wizards release their zine...

I'd tried disarming the bow. I think as a Dm you need to have a range of combat tactics you understand, to keep the players on their toes. And understanding, when to use things like sunder, trip, disram and grapple should be in there.

"Any suggestions for improving teamwork within a group?" Well if the dying isn't doing it, I'm not sure there's alot of help for them :) My initial reaction, would be to use lower CR monsters against them. Try and give them a chance to run away from combat. And encourage them to start combat...

Back to the original quote Mike Mearls: "The one thing I learned is the importance of balance in designing character options. I can't create an NPC or monster that can reliable hit the dinosaur pet without almost automatically hitting everyone else. Putting the DM into the position of...
