Undying - Chapter 8 Undying – Chapter 8 OOC Notes: Exp is 3,100 for 22nd level characters, 2765 for 23rd. This Week’s Adventure: We rapidly rose through the water and headed towards Dyvers. On the way, I began sorting through my admittedly limited arcane training trying to think of every...

The possibilities...my mind is reeling with them ;) Ok, first some general stuff. I have no idea of the make-up or alignment of the party. But I would be prepared for some real wild behavior depending on those factors. Are they willing to be serving a fiendish entity for a month? Will they be...

I think the PHB answers that or maybe it's the ready-thing. We just go by highest dexterity.

It's not broken. It's epic. There's a difference. But I really like the False Vision idea ;)

Some add ons to Wizardru's points: 1. Always announce who's turn in intiative it is, and at least the next two players coming up. AND MAKE THEM BE READY. Sure, sometimes circumstances change and force someone to re-evaluate their action, but as the DM you have to make it clear you expect...

I think it would boggle my mind so much to be published that the money would be irrelevant. ;)

It needs an orc. And a pie.

For what it's worth, I was working on an excel sheet to do a chi-squared test on randomness of dice (based on the old dragon article). For fun, I had excel randomly fill a few hundred cells and tested the randomness of excel's random number generator. (I use it for a few things in game.) It...

Actually there's another one. When facing an extremely high AC monster, you may have better results going with Manyshot and the all-or-nothing approach. Doubly so if you have some kind of one-time attack bonus. That was much more true before Manyshot was nerfed but still remains an option...

Personally, my take is this: You can put spell effects on weapons. You can make those effects charged. So yes, you take take a club and put 50 charges of something on it. However you need the Craft Arms and Armor feat, and it must be at least a +1 club. And you have to meet all the usual...

Based on my personal opinions: 1. Gold is more plentiful than feats. Therefore I prefer to solve such problems with gold. 2. Keen can be worth a few thousand but given the way that weapon costs scale exponentially, it's not a good idea to put it on the weapon. 3. Therefore the most...

"I want you to go get me... a fruit." A patron hires the players to do a task for him. It's simple and clean. It provides an excuse for bringing players together and gives them immediate goals as well as a reward mechanism. It can lead to further adventures as well, and it can co-exist with...

Details about the fight: Setup: For them, there was the kraken, the snakey-things (they had a name but I didn't record it) and the skulven. They skulven were a non-issue. On our side you had the six PC's and two NPC paladins on team sun, plus some NPC shadows on team shadow that got into the...

Undying - Chapter 7 Undying – Chapter 7 OOC Notes: Exp is 5800 for 22nd, 4200 for 23rd. Loot: 40,000gp in assorted undigested paraphernalia +4 heavy steel shield This Week’s Adventure: Ralishaz paused to look over the perfectly still water. As he stared off, his form seemed to waver...

Have you had the opportunity to play epic yet? Yes. Our long-running campaign started at level 1 and went epic a few months back. How long did you play? What level did you start and end? Still playing. We've been epic for oh, three to six months I think. What did you think? It's...

I'm surprised at the answers. Most of the skills listed can be covered if one or two people in the group are strong with it. Certainly things like bluff or sense motive are not needed for the entire group. I think it's not a bad idea for folks to have Spot or Listen, but it's not a class skill...

I think what's most fun to write up is the things that tend to produce an interesting story, so I guess anything that adds drama or story elements. All of these things can do that but not all the time. A dialogue can be pivotal to the story development, or it can just be a nothing...

I'd swear I saw a specific reference that Craft (Bowmaking) covered both bows and arrows but looking in the 3.5 SRD I'm not seeing it. Skills are general categories and it doesn't do well to break it down into minute disciplines. Craft (Bowmaking) should cover all you need to make arrows. As for...

die_kludge, I just wanted to say I saw the thread subject and concluded that a nymph vampire was about the sexiest thing I'd heard of in quite a while. That said, I'd probably go with either silver&magic, or magic & (cold iron OR silver). She started as a nymph but crossing over changed her...
