    Luck Feats and Luck Domain

    The luck domain came long before the luck feats. So is the luck domain bound by the same restrictions? Could you expend the luck feats to get one reroll (no matter how many feats you have, they can only be used once for that incident), but then use the luck domain for an extra reroll? That's...

    Goodman Games solicits input

    Wow. I'm just really surprised at how many people in this thread are posting pretty much the same thing I would post. I've really felt like I've been going it alone for the past couple of years. It's nice to see everybody. ::waves:: I dunno. We have at least 2 examples in this thread of...

    Goodman Games solicits input

    Yes, in fact in the thread on goodmangames.com, I just posted that I loved the system-neutral Freeport series of modules, and that I would be happy to have more. Freeport was pretty popular, right? I think I might in fact prefer modules that are system neutral, just so that I can easily swap...

    What happens if you ignore plague spirits?

    So I wanted to follow up and close out this thread with a summary of how everything played out. I ended up using info from many threads here at En World. It all came together. The short & sweet of it is that the group's cleric received omens to flee the area, as some of you suggested. And...

    More "realistic" advancement in D&D?

    As has been mentioned, E6 pretty much does this. Yes, it's 3.5 edition, but there is little need to port it to 4th as it's merely a concept that can be used for any edition. It's simple. Freeze level progression at a point you like. However much XP it took to hit that last level is how much...

    2009 in Review

    I just went thru similar. :( Had a player quit mid-campaign when he heard that my next campaign (a year away) would be with all new people. I tried to explain that I would be running the same modules and thus needed players who were new to them, but that went nowhere. Apparently gamers mate...

    2009 in Review

    I just wanted to say how surprising two things are from this thread. First, many people have not only expressed love for Pathfinder, but actually are running active Pathfinder games. That took me off guard. Does Paizo know they have something successful on their hands? Are you guys actually...

    Sources of non-magical healing?

    I have an NPC with a permanent anti-magic area of effect on him. I need to put him deep in combat, but since no Cure spells will work on him, his recovery time is going to be loooooooonnnng. I am looking for alchemical items, or feats, or extraordinary effects. So far all I've found is Faster...

    Fun with XP -- let's make up a reward that fits

    Yes but since Fog Cloud obscures vision beyond 5' so too will the "human shaped holes" be obscured. That's the problem -- these spirits cannot see any better than a person, and thus must be right next to an enemy in order to notice anything. It reduces encounters to almost pure coincidence...

    Fun with XP -- let's make up a reward that fits

    Yes, they made it closer to the ancient evil source. They decided to move only at night, caked in mud and leaves, moving at a slow pace. I figured if they were going to be that obnoxiously paranoid about it, I'd let 'em advance. When they got close to the ziggurat/pyramid thing, it was fogged...

    Fun with XP -- let's make up a reward that fits

    Thanks. Yes, I sorta took your idea and Blackbrrd's together -- I gave them XP for escaping a CR 8 "trap" (about 500 XP) and then gave them another 500 XP as a teamwork bonus. The Storm Spirits only have 1 lightning bolt per day. Since they had been killing everything* in the area, I rolled...

    Fun with XP -- let's make up a reward that fits

    Thanks everyone. I started giving out XP but ran out. A couple of you I've given too much XP to, so you'll have to just enjoy my thanks. :) I have a follow-up question. These characters might level up in the midst of an apocalyptic storm. Can they fully level up? I mean, do the wizards...

    Fun with XP -- let's make up a reward that fits

    So, I'm juggling the effects of the apocalypse, and I need some opinions. My players decided to head straight into the devil's lair, so to speak. This was portrayed to them as horrifically stupid and almost certain death -- I even gave the cleric a warning from his god to flee flee flee. I...

    sandbox campaign - map size/scale?

    ...Continued from above... So I already showed you my main map for the game. Now I'll show you three variations I used, which address your question. First is simply the same map but with a few new areas (Foretown to the north of Rel Astra, plus the druids & temple as listed in the legend on...

    sandbox campaign - map size/scale?

    This will be long. I don't want it to be long, but I know up front I'm going to give you a brain dump from my current sandbox campaign. So, apologies. Or "you're welcome" if you're into this sort of thing. I'm of the opinion that you should indeed map out the whole world, so that you know...

    Planescape: Torment on Wikipedia main page

    I don't know. But I do know where you should ask. First, try the spellhold forums. Next, try the sorcerer's forums. Good luck.
