Yeesh. I pity the players with a vindictive DM!

Dupe

I haven't looked at those spells, as my game hasn't hit a high enough level yet. However, I would throw out the usual spells that undo such protections. First, would a nice high-level Dispel Magic undo the protections? If not, how about someone with an Antimagic Field on themselves coming up...

Yes, I believe in that game, they are willing to kill one of their own, and they imprison another character without a trial. They simply deem themselves judge, jury, and executioner. Fairly self-righteous. Frankly, they are a little like a D&D adventuring party, but organized into a large...

I dunno. I mean, if the DM wants to do that, then good suggestion. :) I'm just thinking that the entire point of the game is to allow the players to have some choices & consequences. This sounds a very real-world scenario -- someone integral to a project buggers out at a bad moment, and the...

Nevermind. Next post.

Reading your comments, I think even the stingy system I created is too generous. He'll make 500 gold a week, or so. In one week, he makes 10x what commoners make in a year. I think that's way too much. I'll have to tweak it more. Wish I had. Seeing all the work I've made for myself, I...

Thank you all sooooo much. I heavily modified what I'm about to show you. Initially, the DCs were all about 10 lower. However, after reading here about how difficult it should be to sell spells, I went with this revision. Essentially, perform a Gather Information check, with the following...

So my gaming group has split. The cleric has returned to the base city, while the rest of the party continued their nefarious quest. The cleric will have down time of about 2 weeks in game while he waits for the party to return. The player of the cleric has asked that he sell his spells in...

In one of the D&D groups I play in, everyone has an iPhone (or an iPod that can use iPhone apps). Every one of us has at least 2 or 3 different dice-rolling apps. We've all used them at one time or the other. I personally use a particular app that comes with the sound of dice rolling -- it...

I said something similar on rpg.net a month ago, and I was tarred & feathered for it. I'm glad you can say it here. :) It's a bad rationale for not playing 4th, but that's not entirely what this poll is about. I believe that the author of the poll clarified on page three that he was simply...

Yeah, I wouldn't. If I saw something like that, I would not "get into" trying to fight without hitting the babies, nor would I try to act gallant. I would mentally flag the entire situation as a contrived and unenjoyable aspect of the game, say to the group, "I'm sorry but there will be...

I like Olli's advice. I created an enemy for my players that had a "troublesome" quality -- if he rolled his max damage, there was one player with low HP who could be killed in a single strike. Rather than obsess about altering the stat blocks or picking a new monster, I just said to myself...

It doesn't matter what you throw into the mix, the down time should be minutes, maybe an hour or two at most. Here's why. As is typical for Web work, you operate with two systems -- a staging system, and a production system. If you're doing things right, you mirror the production server, then...

This is a good thread. Moar plz!

That is sweet. Thanks Theroc! So the Draconic Auras are listed as emanations -- and that is defined in the PHB as, "An emanation spell functions like a burst spell, except that the effect continues to radiate from the point of origin for the duration of the spell." So again that seems to tie...

The flame/frost properties allow for energy resistance, so that's a (very) fuzzy match for the Inflict spells allowing a save for 1/2 damage. So I'd probably leave the pricing as roughly matched. However, the DMG & MIC make it clear that pricing is less science and more art, so the DM should...

But the costs for all other durations are not listed. Only a few are. Many are ignored. The idea that because they have no multiplier they are simply unavailable is bizarre to me. It forces us to omit huge numbers of spells that have durations that need no multiplier. Besides, if that's...

That paladin aura is very helpful, thanks! Are there other auras I could refer to, to help cement my opinion?
