I ran a high level 3.5 campaign some years ago and borrowed the conceit from a previous campaign that death was permanent except under unique circumstances. So, of course in the first session one of the loot drops was a minor artifact meant to help mitigate this conceit. In retrospect I should...

So, to be clear, there are 3 MST versions. The original, a "return to" 3.5 version, and this 5E version. I've only read the 3.5 version, but I don't remember anything about design, just the flavor bits. Perhaps it is the flavor bits, probably missing from a playtest, that make it great to...

I always here, or maybe read, that the Mud Sorcerer's Tomb is a good adventure. Or maybe "classic". Is it just this version? I did see it waiting to be downloaded with the latest stuff, but since I don't have a group playing it, didn't bother.

Merry Christmas! My day goes something like: Wake up. Exchange stocking stuffers, without the technicality of hanging stockings. Check email, facebook, Enworld, that kinda thing. Get dressed. Wait for roast beast. Eat roast beast and a bottle of Midas Touch. Nap. Wake up and...repeat...

I've downloaded it and scanned the basics. I do like that it is a bolt on system. Calling it epic is something of a misnomer because you could, unless I missed something, be a 1st level character who's earned a mythic level. One drawback to being mythic is gaining a flaw. For example the...

Every once in a while I like to google "free pathfinder adventure" or "free pathfinder module" (interesting difference in results) to see what's out there. This time I found this: http://aphilosopher.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/free-pathfinder-adventures-for-december-4-rils-lesser-sanctum/ So of...

It depends on your eidolon's base form, which is usually +2 AC, except for aquatic which is higher, plus your level. At level 1, it is +0. You can see these numbers on the chart here: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/summoner/eidolons There are various ways to improve AC, like...

Ah, see this is where edition comes into play. Totally forgot that 3E requires XP. Pathfinder just costs money so you could fork over some gold and this would work.

Scanned your blog post again and while you sort of mention it, one obvious "advantage" of wizards is that they can scribe scrolls for you. I wouldn't say they'll spend their own resources to create things for free, but you should be able to provide the raw material for them to convert into the...

I did not mention it, but in fact I take notes for the first campaign. But as instances of memory, I didn't write down the sword from the quarry, since I wasn't even at the session, nor did I write down the magic lamp, though I was present for that session. Flipping through and deciphering...

A couple weeks ago in the Pathfinder game I play in, run by the owner of Black Diamond Games, Gary, I was sitting at the table with everyone and we were faced with a situation that essentially made it very difficult to reinforce the barbarian. A thought came to mind and I asked another player...

Interesting read. I think it is important to note this is really useful for 3E/3.5 games with access to a vast library of books. If you lack books its utility decreases and if you just got a cohort and followers from leadership in a Pathfinder game, like me, its utility is decreased again...

Do you want just Paizo stuff? I don't think I've played enough published adventures to give anything more than 'oh that one was fun' but being fun isn't necessarily the 'best'. If I include those I've read, maybe that would help. What about Rappan Athuk? I've never actually played the...

It has Mike Nystul's name on the cover, so if you've ever cast Nystul's Magic Aura, called Magic Aura in Pathfinder, that's the guy.

Give her some sort of template. "Charming" or "Sultry" or "Insert Favorite Adjective Here" (heh, double entendre). +2 to CHA plus an aura like the spell Sanctuary because people don't want to spoil her beauty or charm by harming her.

As mentioned by others it would be cool to have dungeon levels with 3d, multiple tiers, or linked dungeons. Not simply 12 dungeons stacked on top of each other. And a memorable BBEG who inhabits the 3d terrain.

I get your drift Ranger. And thanks for all the replies, some of them came to my mind as well (spiked gauntlet for example). For my purposes, anything that can be argued is going to cause more problems. Our game is at a crossroads and it is because of things like "she's a half-orc so she does...

Hmm. My gut says no. I might allow it if the horns and bite did the same amount of damage. When I think of a Full Attack, I think of Luke Skywalker in the climatic scene in Return of the Jedi when he's swinging his light saber repeatedly to beat down Vader and cleave his hand off. But...

I always thought it would be interesting to play in the Dungeon World setting, but never did. I think it was also interesting because I had tried at one time to program a Neverwinter Nights module where the players had to fight their way out of a dungeon only to discover they were dead...

So, I've been doing a lot of game rules checking lately and my latest question is this. I've looked at the stat blocks for ogres and it seems they prefer to use weapons. But what if they were forced to smack some PC's around with their bare hands? Due to being Large, I'm going to guess the...
