I was wondering that myself.

Would this be helpful to you?

Whoops, you're right. I got mondo confused on that one. Then again, this Invisibility thing is rather confusing. Y'think maybe it'd have been easier to just specify that spells that have a range other than personal terminate?

Too bad that Bull's Strength won't actually let you lift a heavier load or anything now. Or that Cat's Grace won't allow you to Move Silently better.

Thank you. That's good, solid advice. I've heard or read pretty much all of that before but that makes it no less useful. :)

Have you seen this?

Umm, guys... maybe the intent of that wording is the emphasis on the word "foe" rather than standard AoE. In other words, spells like Fireball will work just fine on an invisible critter, because they're untargeted. But the rule is referring to stuff like Scare, where they're targeted in the...

Oh man, I love having Skill Mastery for Tumble. :D

Wow. I'm new here, so forgive me if this has been asked before. I think it's incredibly cool of you to field questions like this though. Thank you! I'm a new-time DM, having just run his first two game sessions of D&D. I came into the hobby with AD&D 1st Edition, but never got to play...

Also, notice that you're using prejudicial terms like "the whiners" to describe them. You're already in an adversarial mode. That's because they're getting to you. Try to assume a referee attitude instead. You're trying to be fair and impartial, but at the same time dealing with a lot of...

Okay, first thing you gotta do is not let it get to you. If you're miserable and experiencing anxiety due to the game, you're not having fun. If you're not having fun and you're the DM, then the players aren't going to have fun because you're going to make the game suck. It's a vicious cycle...

Well the thing is it's a trader city set at the crossroads of a large elven empire and a silkroad through a wasteland to the equivalent of Persia. So it's A) a large city and B) has a higher gp limit than usual due to being a trading center. So I figure the possibility of finding most anything...

Is there some guideline somewhere for determining item availability in a city? Next session of my game is coming up next week and the party's returning with the usual horde of treasure to spend in town. I know there's a gp limit, but is that it? Is there any way to determine whether, say, an...

An anthropomorphic bat druid? :confused: Where the heck did they get that one from? The 3.0 Savage Species book or something?

Treasure: D&D gives precise guidelines for the accumulation of goodies, and gives you a whole BUNCH of strange and wonderful gadgets and gizmos to choose from. Most other games hand-wave the concept of wealth and gear to some degree or another, but I can't recall a game in recent memory that...

This is an excellent point, and reminds one of the "name" level dichotomy in old D&D, where at level 9 you'd start playing a very different game than you'd played previously.

Then it works. Why worry overmuch about the niggly stuff if it's fun to play? I'm not being facetious here. Nitpicking the fun out of stuff is a trap I've fallen into myself time and again, and it's easy to do when you're really interested in something, because you pick it apart and analyze...

I think the problem with D&D is that it's not the kind of game you want or like.

Well as I said I was thinking of having some different factions in the excavation camp. Some things I thought of but haven't really fleshed out: The leader of the expedition having a kind of "rosetta stone" for the heiroglyphs he's been working on, that could give a +5 or more bonus on...

No, but I've considered it due to the game location. The city itself is on the edge of a vast, hostile wasteland bordering a mystical elven forest (fantasy geography, gotta love it). I'm trying to insert a kind of over-plot involving armies of undead encroaching from the wastes, which would...
