One of my PCs I think had a run in with a Dread Wraith without a save on the constitution drain ability. Any thoughts on the CR rating of this modified wraith? My battered ego would like to think I was horribly outclassed and running was a sensible thing. Wraith

A kobold lair with a 8 foot ceiling that is held up by a chain, loosen the chain and the ceiling that falls to 2.5 feet. Any medium sized PC is then squeezed leveling the playing field for the Kobold warriors.

A campaign based on the beginning of the French republic. I'd have the PCs start as monarchists and witness some of the atrocities of the monarchy. They would have the choice of sides at that point.

Not quite true, a wizard/cleric has plenty of will or fortitude save spells to choose from. For example the previously used dominate person spell would have had a good chance of succeeding. Or a good old scorching ray spell.

Blink is range personal, so does not help in this case.

Unfortunately an escape artist attempt can not be used to resist the grapple; only to escape it.

I’m looking for ways a 12th level wizard could help a fighter who is grappled get out of the grapple. Assume the wizard couldn't just kill the monster do to spell resistance. My short list is: Heroics (improved grapple) Displacement (avoid getting grappled again) Enlarge person (bigger) Bull...

Another point of evil koboldness is to only have 3 foot ceilings (or normal ceilings that can collapse down to 3 foot tall ceilings). This will allow the kobolds to volley arrows and run and hide from most PCs. Remember 100 kobold archers will roll 10 natural 20s per round on average. So if...

To steal from Charlotte Brontë, a school for disadvantaged young girls is being run by a miserly vicar who lets the girls starve and freeze in the name of spiritual purity. Or a reclusive country gentleman is looking for a bride and is secretly married to an insane woman. The state does not...

The room is a big red herring created by some clever bastard monsters. The other side has an attractive looking empty chest. This room was created by the intelligent monsters to distract divert any potential heros. The traps do not cascade. Each square has a different CR1 type of trap in it.

Hello I’m trying to figure out the encounter level of a 20x15 foot room full of CR 1 traps. Every square (5x5) is a CR 1 trap. The room can be by-passed and doesn’t need to be overcome. It also would be silly to walk on every square. So my quick calculation is this room has 12 CR 1 traps is...

All the PCs inherited a low level magic item of mystical origins. The PC was directed to seek out a mage living in a hut out in the swamp to find out more about the item. All of the PCs just happened to show up at the swamp at the same time and are told about some shared destiny of those who...

The Sublime Chord prestige is a full caster (9th lvl spells) bard who looks more like a sorcerer at lvl 20. The class is used by allot of twink builds because it gives an alternate spell progression. You can also get a caster level boost with a perform check and a use of bardic music.

Yes the object is detectable or Yes sticking an object in a bag of holding trumps locate object?

I'm not sure if this will work, is an object in a bag of holding within 400 + feet? The object is technically in another dimension, right?

I like improved initiative, energy substitution, or improved toughness.

Confusion and Hold Monster

I think the first question to answer is why has Pike survived in the past? Perhaps it was: Better armor and weapons Powerful magics of a wizard that has died or has since vanished Valor and resolve of citizens Magical poison pill spell that if the capital was ever destroyed would destroy all...

I recommend against splitting knowledge local. The same arguments can be made for any of the knowledge skill. For example the very first time a druid from the tropics sees a polar bear a knowledge nature roll is used. Shouldn’t knowledge nature also be split up between regions? Or perhaps a...

An unhallow spell with a freedom of movement linked to it would do the trick.
