I actually had a player try to use a big hulking hurler on me, though not quite 1000d6's. I don't really restrict the players in their character making, though I do only allow certain books. After the first quick "encounter", I subdued the 1/2 ogre fairly quickly with some Will save spells...

I did this last week actually. We were short on some key players of the campaign that I wanted to be there for the adventure, so I ran a one-shot dungeon. Players had the options of playing a 7th level gestalt or 9th level normal PCs. It is worth mentioning however, that I made them all roll...

If he's worried about grapple, why not just take Close Quarter's Fighting from CW?

My group fits right in with mocking everything. City names, villian names, good guy names, it doesn't matter. It also doesn't bother me at all because when I play I do the same thing. Sometimes it's to help remember the names, Carauptus quickly becomes KrapAss, Ringland is ringworm, much...

I'm 21, i got into the game after moving to a smaller town at about 14 and meeting a new group of friends whom had just started playing. The father of one of the players introduced him to the game, then him to us. It also helps that there's not much to do in a small town without a car. I do...

As for all the alignment restrictions, there's a simple answer. Bob is now a Chaotic Evil Fighter 1/ Barbarian 1/ Rogue 2/ Hexblade 3/ Frenzied Beserker 10/ Blackguard 3. He loses Combat Reflexes and Improved Grapple. To fix that switch out Extra Rage for Combat Reflexes, and change Improved...

Yes it is pointless. It was simply something I did taking a break from writing my adventure to see the scariest combination of classes I could make. I realize that you could never rationalize this character to play him, nor would I ever want to play said character. I purposefully ignored...

Cedar Falls/ Waterloo, living here at the moment and attending UNI.

My favorite fighter build looks something like this: Human Fighter 12 Stats: Str:16 (18) Dex:18 (20) Con:14 Int:14 Wis:10 Cha:8 Feat Selection: Quick Draw (1), Combat Reflexes (1), Dodge (1), Hold the Line (2), Mobility (3), Spring Attack (4), Elusive Target (6), Improved Trip (6), Power...

The mount is part of the Paladin's abilities. If you were dueling a wizard that specialized in summoning would you expect him to not use him summoning spells because you would be outnumbered? It sounds to me that you problem is that you're outmatched ;) . He didn't show up for the duel...

Funny that this comes up. Last week my player used a similar tactic, except he dropped a prismatic wall in front of the dragon... I ruled that the dragon went through the wall. When you're charging I'd think it would be hard to instantly stop yourself, especially if you're particular angry, as...

:Spoilers: I ran the adventure at the beginning of 2004 and my party enjoyed it immensely. My parties rather combat heavy themselves, so they meshed quite well with the nature of the adventure. We don't run many drow adventures, as I generally dislike drow, so running through the underdark...

I'm assuming that by stone age we're talking about the time before the agricultural revolution, when they lived in shelters and made a living of hunting and foraging (the Paleolithic Stone Age). If I were building a campaign in this sort of environment I would make heavy use of Unearthed Arcana...

I believe I put in the part where instead of fighting the high level orc cheftain we tried to pick pocket what we needed. The party rogue got a 33 I believe, with a 19 roll (it's his specialty). The orc cheiftain warrior type (assuming he's doesn't have the skill) would have needed at least an...

Cedar Falls/ Waterloo area. I didn't intend the title to mean the setting is bad, flawed or anyway wrong, it's simply the title we've given to his campaign. Truthfully I think the campaign setting is great, and has plenty of awesome flavor, or else I wouldn't have shown it to him. We started...

This is an exercise in munchkinism.... alignment is only good for use of spells such as Holy Word, and Holy Swords... Every good munchkin knows that alignment can be changed, its called an eraser (rule 1 of munchkins: it you dont like it anymore, erase it) :p

A little backstory first- after DMing for about two years straight (prolly 9 years total), one of the other players in the group decided to step up to the plate. He's DMed before quite a few times and actually has done a rather good job. He has quite a liking for the old missions also, which...

I got bored while writing up some DM material the other day and decided to take a break. As a little exercise in boredom I created what is probably the scariest munchkin character ever. I kinda used a 32 point buy, I think i'm two points over, but easily could have left Wis and Int an 8...

My question to the people who don't allow magical items to be sold (I'm one) is this: Do you allow PCs to commission something to be made? I know that quite a few people said that they stressed item creation feats in the party, but is this person supposed to create everything for the party...

IF they want to play it really safe by resting two to three times in the dungeon then the solution is simple. Make it so it's not safe to rest in the dungeon, even moreso then continuing. If the dungeon has any sort of intelligent inhabitants, they're likely to organize a counter-strike...
