IME the best way to organise an adult group is have a set weekly game day/evening, and try and stick to it. But be flexible , be willing to changes days , venues or miss a week if necessary. If your group can't manage that sort of commitment. Then try running short one day scenarios whenever the...

I use the assumption that adults get 1 xp per day of their lives. So that someone in their 20's would be around 3rd or 4th level. And the average population level would be around 5th.

Why are there armies? D&D warfare is likely to be high casulty , even allowing for healing and ressurection. High casulties are costly, so wheres the gain? There's good vs evil conflicts. But your not going to commit all those forces unless you've a chance of winning. If theres a generations...

Your at the level where you can start making use of metamagic, and having a quickened spell is always useful in an emergancy. Extend and heighten are also good for illusiona and conjuration spells. Persusive might be an alterntive to skill focus bluff. You should also think defensively. Have you...

Although there are a few inconsitants. Overall its good. Bear in mind it didn't start pre built, its had so many add ons from different people, there was bound to be some problems. My only real problem with FR are the deities. Theres something like 120 in faiths and pantheons, and I don't like...

I think if you assume the highest levels on each side fight each other, while the lowest levels fight each other.Then CR differences balence out. When this doesn't happen you get problems. Based on the EL system from the immortals handbook, a 1000 war1, is a reasonable encounter for 10 20th...

Hi Gary, I'm interested in what you had in mind , when you created the law/chaos aspect of D&D? Whenever I think of law vs chaos , i think of the Amber series. Was that what you had in mind? Or are there other books that inspired you, with regard to law/chaos? Also why did you think law/chaos...

Have you looked at the warrior varient in UA(page 78) allows you to choose class skills , and swap around saves. That way you can improve your reflex save, and still have a great will save. Plus you can take hide as a class skill. Cleric of Mask 1: Power Attack, Cleave, Domains(Trickery, Luck)...

I'd agree build 1 is the better. Although with build 3, why not take improved feint. With your high charisma, you'd get a good bluff check. And be able to use the sneak attack damage more often.

Let the players choose what they plotline the interfer with. For instance the kill the warforged bandit leader. After each session, work out what happens , if anything on each plotline. So with the warforged bandits, does another leader appear, or do they fight among themselves ? In the other...

I'm palying a hexblade 3/cleric 1/rogue 1 , character at the moment. If your not going to continue with hexblade levels, I'd stop after 3. To increase your BAB, i'd go with hexblade 3/fighter 3. That way you get plenty of feats. If you can wait a level to take your blackguard level, there are...

In my experience , the chance of party infighting is inversly proportial to the players age.

Two things. First dragon CR were atifically lowered , on the grounds that if you know your fighting a dragon you know how dangerous they are. wotc logic not mine. Second. The CR system is calculated based on what the iconic characters are capable of with equipment based on the funds per...

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of years back. The minimal description the DM gave of the game wasn't at all what it was like. I'd created a role played mountain-man ranger character. And the game was a meta gaming dungeon crawl. Leaving my character totally out of place. I stuck it...

Thanks Thanee, Excellent answer.

ok heres the situation. My cleric casts inflict wounds . Moves up to a red dragon and fails with the touch attack roll(i rolled a 2). The dragon takes a pretty big bite out of me. So next round I switch to full defence(Cleric has combat expertise, so AC is quiet high) DM decides the dragon will...

I do believe high level characters are dependant on equipment. The CR system is calculated , based on the characters having the equipment appropreate to their wealth and level. As specified in the DMG. Or put another way. If you don't have the equipment your not the level you think you are. One...

There are feats that give bonuses for wearing various types of armour. Plus there is improve combat expertise. Which is pretty good at high levels , you have a +15 bab, you can take upto +15 to ac.

The few simple rules we've used are Heavy crossbow does 1d12 Arcane spell failure checks are reduced by 10% if you take a full round instead of a standard action to cast the spell. There are others but they vary on campaign and dm.

Yep , thats the idea.
