Oh well, maybe we can be 2nd and 3rd after Monte then. If we can just keep Bruce Cordell and Mr. Reynolds from learning of the contest....

The DMG actually says that rounds are an abstraction, that combat should be considered as simultaneous, with rounds and initiative as just ways to tell who goes first. This makes the 5-ft step, while locked in melee, even more problematic. No way in real combat will you ever be using a bow right...

I don't remember as we played it when it first came out, but isn't there a way for the supplicants to be unsupplicated, i.e., after a certain thing is killed? I think it is somewhere in the end notes...My party was up to 5th level when they got there, so I buffed up everything, made the wand...

I also would like to know what is meant by medieval, does it have to be in Europe? Can it just be from about that time frame, but based somewhere else? And what if we wanted to have one from an earlier time, with a little bit lower technology level? There are so many things you could do with...

135. Make all your NPC's speak in some sort of moronic code, never saying anything usefull. Example: PARTY: Where is the church? NPC: It is where it should be, but not where it could have been PARTY: Okay, forget you. You there! Where is the Church? 2nd NPC: It is next to the big tree, behind...

Do what I did when it first came out - eliminate the 5-foot rule altogether. It eliminates many problems right away. There is less of the full attack or spellcasters and archers in the front line nonsense. It worked fine. But it is a different combat system than everyone else uses, and having to...

The other odd ruling on Web I have seen is people thinking you can burn the whole web off like in 2nd edition, but all you can burn off is one square at a time...and people get confused about entering a web, and leaving it, i.e., being in the last layer of the web, do you still have to break out...

Well, I hate to tell you this, but he was right...I saw it on an animal show, as long as you move quietly and swim like an alligator, they pretty much leave you alone...but if you thrash around like most people do, they think you are an animal in distress and come after you...I saw the guy do...

114. The tripwire room, 40 x 40 ft, filled with garbage, empty boxes, bones, rats, stirges, etc., and also filled with tripwires in every square, hundreds of them like spaghetti in all directions...then make an empty corridor where the real trap is... 115. Fun with teleporters - make an...

Well its nice but it doesn't incorporate the errate for the MM, so for instance, the Tyrannosaur has too many skill pts, etc...A nice thing but without the errata you will have to check all the output each time.

82. Incorporeal treasure 83. Evil Wizard's Guild as a customer that always screws the party out of some of the treasure. What are they going to do, steal it back? 84. This is from another thread, don't remember the author...give a bad guy elemental resistance from fire/15, and a necklace of...

56. One I read here recently, talk about the dozen or so literary sources you used to make the adventure, when all you really did was copy out some monster manual stat blocks and put them in a town... 57. Give one player each new town they enter a girlfriend. Make the girlfriend want things...

I am disappointed in you Shark, where's the Epic of Gilgamesh or the Elder Eddas? Surely you haven't left them out... Similiarly, I haven't seen anyone admit that their games all come out of the Three Core Books, and NOT from their extensive trips to the library...but sure, whatever...

You should have more respect for your elders, boy. Maybe you just aren't a very good DM, don't tar us all with your brush. Some people like to do a good job, and "winging it" is not usually a very good job, it is a sign of lack of preparation or thought. If you like being unprepared and don't...

I would say I agree that it is more fun for players, but harder for DM's. The large number of vague areas is a problem, but the biggest problem is running the old town or city type adventure where the party can make choices. There are way too many things they might do to make it all up ahead of...

Here is a nice hex from Roman Times "I summon you demon and hand over to you these horses to keep them and bind them so that they cannot move." Is this of any help? I can probably translate it back into latin if thats what you needed...

Not true, he can double move away and will not draw an AoO. If he moves and casts, runs, or attacks, he will draw one.

Missing player characters have spotted fever, and are in the nearest town or village recovering. Disease was rampant in the old times, and not all of them will respond to healing right away. So, spotted fever for those not there. This helps encourage people to come, as they get nothing for...

Re: Players get all wonky when dragon corpses are involved. You should have cursed him with Dragon Taint, his breath becomes foul, his skin scaly, his fingernails lengthen (this is leading him up to think he is becoming a dragon), and he changes skin tone a few shades closer to whatever color...

Ring of Three Wishes: Price - 97,950 gp Recommended treasure cap for 5th level character: 9,000 gp So, he has a magic item 10 times as large as his character should have. So, I was right all along, like I figured, and the DM is incompetent. But we already knew that. The answer is to get...
