    PDF of Summoned Creatures

    I've got those files. Actually, I think mine is in pdf format. I'm at work at the moment, though. If they're not posted when I get home tonight, I'll post 'em. (edit) Computer problems last night, so no go, but I'll try and do 'em tonight.

    Tips on running a superhero campaign

    Biggest things I can think of are: 1) Are the authorities your friends, or your foes? 2) Are the normals aware of superheroes, and if so, are they treated like they are in the DC universe (most are treated as actual heroes) or the Marvel universe (where most are treated as just as bad as the...

    Outside of the WoTC D&D minis...

    Reaper has quite the variety of wraiths available. I like them. Male, female, armored, "ringwraith"...quite a few.

    Forgotten Realms - The Frozen North

    Champions of Ruin and Champions of Valor both include information on Impiltur, which is in the same general area. There may be information relating to the areas your DM has mentioned.

    Why is the there no Mass Spell metamagic feat?

    I think Mass Charm was based on Charm Monster, which is, as I recall, 5th level...

    Evasive Reflexes: what do you think about it?

    That has been provided in the web preview Granted, WOTC has been real good at providing full text of feats etc on previews, but that doesn't mean they always will. Plus, if we go with the general rule that "the rules are as stated [in this case, a single 5ft step/round] unless specifically...

    Wizard's tower - defenses

    Put the lever in a pool of water, so it requires an aquatic creature?

    Wizard's tower - defenses

    This isn't quite a magical defense, but.... Have doors that require magic to bypass them. Nothing so powerful as Knock. How about a portcullis that has a lever on the other side that needs to be pulled up to open. A rope won't work, because the lever is completely smooth. The portcullis...

    Design Rule Question - Bonus Spells

    I find mage hand and presidigitation to be useful, as is Resistance, and the Ray of x spells can be useful as well. Sure, you might not do a lot of damage to your target with a ray of frost, but you can do some, and it can damage some objects..plus it's nice to have for those rare times your...

    Tome of Battle preview

    First level ability doesn't necessarily equate to first level character....and doesn't necessarily mean you can have it at first level. Some prereqs might make it a low level power that you can't take until 4th level, like the warlock's invocations. Four grades of invocations, but some required...

    MM4's Bluespawn Godslayer

    Tiamat. Duh. :) Seriously, though, if these are created primarily by the Dragon Goddess (and I don't have the MM4 yet....) then I don't see why she couldn't have factored into the creation of their weapons and armor. Or directed them to the appropriate giants for the weapons. As for the...

    The Complete Mage - What are your Thoughts

    Or possibly something like the mindset spells present in the Races of eberron book, where as long as the spell remained uncast, the caster got some bonuses (as I recall, mostly skill related bonuses).

    What is the most overlooked rule in dnd?

    Not getting a full attack after moving. If you move, you only get a single attack, barring special abilities or feats that overrule that...

    MM4 Table of Contents up

    Actually, I'd guess it's probably because the modern inspirations for the clay golem (the golem of Prague) and the flesh golem (Frankenstein's monster) are human in shape. As I recall, there were animated statues and such in 1st edition, but they aren't/weren't considered the same as golems.

    Point buy

    I prefer dice My preferred method is 4d6 best 3, with DM oversight. By this I mean I prefer to have players roll their stats where I can see them, so that if someone has stats that are so far out of whack with the rest of the players,. we can work on it. For example, for the new campaign I'm...

    DM Schticks That Grind Your Gears

    One of my current DM's is very guilty of this. His incredibly powerful elven ranger/thief was following us around piping up any time we were discussing our options; his powerful wizard had a private demiplane we could use to route some troups through to get to the aid of some allies quickly...

    What's so special about this huge gemstone anyways?

    The gem itself is not special. However, at some point, someone did an animate object on the spell, and gave it an item to hold, and the fist closed around the small item itself....possibly a key to an extraordinary treasure. Perhaps the fist is the last needed component for the Opal Golem of...

    Has D&D become too...D&Dish?

    Yes, but that's because it required 2000xp for a fighter to hit second level, and 2500 for a wizard/mage. It took a rogue only 1250, and a cleric 1500. Levelling slowly, however, once you hit 10th level, was very true. When it took 100,000+xp to level up, and you were getting 2-3k experince...

    Druids - Likes and Dislikes?

    This is pretty much how the FR setting handles all divine spellcasters, be they clerics, paladins, druids, or ranger, you have to have a god.
