Bolo's Return (posted on Bolo's behalf) They say that when you die you see your life flash in front of you. I didn't see that. What I did see was a colossal Beholder made from magma. It turned one of its eyes and a green ray shot at me. I remember feeling my body expand and explode into tiny...

The Durance Vile - Chapter 2 OOC Notes: Exp is 3150, assuming that’s not a net negative for you. The question is do we press on or retreat? Loot: Adamantite war axe (+2 due to the material) +4 longsword (market 32,315gp) +2 dagger (market 8,305gp) +2 leather armor (Bolo for now) Large Steel...

Ok new question: How many people have played elves in game who are not actaully elves in real life? How many people have played a wizard in game when they are not a wizard in real life? I completely fail to see the issue here.

The Durance Vile - Chapter 1 The Durance Vile Chapter 1 OOC Notes: Exp is 1300 this week. Loot Administravia: +4 ring of protection to Aethramyr (sold his old +2, 8,000gp +10% in CoB) Staff of Eringlin has been put on hold til later Ring of Spell Storing to Valanthe – default spells are...

Should work just fine. Except that an arrow in a quiver of ehlonna is in an extra dimensional space and wouldn't be affected. How common those are will vary of course. Protection from arrows is not an issue usually when GMW is in the picture. Now wind wall... there's a bugger to get around.

I think you also have to take into account that the white dragon is inherently evil and therefore selling it could have moral consequences. Your group may or may not have an issue with this. One of the things we considered when we hit this module was that it would probably be a lot easier to...

I've used it. I started a PHB bard and wasn't very excited about it. He seemed underpowered with no hope in sight. So I convered him to a Monte Bard. Honestly it's not much better. More skill points, but the songs are weak. The real problem IMHO with the Monte bard is that you end up being...

I'm on the Glitterdust bandwagon. It seems pretty goofy but it's very useful. See Invisible can only be cast on yourself - with Glitterdust you can make an invisible creature apparent to the entire party, and there's no save vs that part of the effect.

Because any time you make a scroll or other magic item for a spell that has an XP cost, the XP must be paid by the creator at the time of creation. That's not a house rule - that's the rule in the DMG. From the SRD: Sounds pretty simple. Now the wierdness comes when you have to factor in the...

Erm..... Someone needs a proofreader. Personally I don't think you should be shaping that kind of thing on a family board. Eric's Grandmother might see

It is a creepy place. As players we want to continue the adventure. As characters I think we're having a hard time finding a reason to want to *stay* on this world. Discretion is the better part and all that. One other tide turner for me was the ecto cocoon. I rolled a 20 when setting the DC of...

Ah the hidden little gotcha with the arcane archer. The real honest to god answer is this: there are none. There are almost no spells that you'd want to imbue that you couldn't just cast at their listed range. Furthermore, there are even fewer that your wife would actually have access to given...

I think the counterbalance is found in Power attack. Melee combattants, if making one attack, can do a LOT of damage with that attack by using power attack. So an archer would fire a few shots doing the usual damage each, where the melee would make a single, more devastating swing.

I just ran the numbers against my arcane archer. The cumulative bonus makes a lot of sense - manyshot was a bit overpowered before and now it's more balanced. It actually makes it more beneficial to take the full attack action (which it probably should be) but still is quite workable if you...

Hm. You could make their lives difficult by...um... I know - giving them tons and tons of platinum that they'd have to carry somewhere. And of course there's all the disadvantages associated with immense wealth - winters on the Nyr Dyv, summers in the Lendores, charity donations, etc. That'd...

Normally it's considered half cover and gives a +4 bonus. I'd cut that to at least +2, maybe +1

I'm inclined to agree with Tantra here. My experiences in defending castles/superhero bases/etc all lead me to conclude that if it's time for an attack, the attack will come. If the DM feels it's important to the story that it succeed or make off with the artifact, or what not, then it will. If...

It came up once in our game. Once. We concluded it was hideously broken.

Oh believe me, I am. Watching that thing tear apart the Bigby's hand in one round made it clear that it could put a lot of hurt on people, and the con drain from the blightfire was just as scary. At the start of the fight, it said that we couldn't hurt it, and it was pretty much right...

The Shadow of Winter Chapter 4 The Shadow of Winter - Chapter 4 OOC Notes: Exp is 4885. I have never seen an entire room of d20’s abandon people like ours did. Loot: The Staff of Eringlin (staff of life, 50 charges) Ring of protection +4 Ring of Spell Storing (currently empty) Scarab of...
