    Death Knight, 17th level, need advice...

    It's found in the Book of Vile Darkness by Monte Cook. The classes basic concept is a devout follower of the Demogorgon, so it will definetely conflict with Bane. This is just a villian in my campaign I have on the computer so I pasted it here thinking it would qualify to be a death knight...

    Death Knight, 17th level, need advice...

    I don't know the prereqs for the death knight, but I'm assuming it's like a template. I'd go with something different. A Lizardman Rogue 2/Fighter 4/Thrall to Demogorgon 9/Blackguard 2. Make him a sadistic killer, or something similar. Perphaps have him be a schtizo that listens to voices in...

    Best Fight Eva.

    We didn't take damage from the fire. The dwarven forge was huge and constructed completely of stone. That coupled with the forge having little to no flamamble items meant that the fire didn't spread. We did take subdual damage from the smoke, but took precautions to avoid that, and once we...

    Dragonhide armor

    IIRC dragonarmor in 2nd edition was the thing to have. I think it's AC was based off the age category of the dragon you took it from and it bestowed resistance did it not? Now it's pretty worthless, simply expensive cool looking armor, unless you're a druid. Funny that those scales that...

    Best Fight Eva.

    We had an extremely long and truly inspiring battle last night that I have to share. It took over 6 hours, and we usually go quickly. The battle was truly awesome though, like the scene in "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" where they hold off the orcs and goblins in the burial chamber...

    A waste of statistics and an illustrators time.

    The monsters I consider useless and/ or ridiculious are: MMI: Achaierai, Beholder, Cloaker, Digester, Displacer Beast (I use em... but their stupid looking and a dumb concept), Etheral Filcher, Ethereal Marauder ( I think I saw these in Tremors 2), Gibbering Mouther, Phantom Fungus, Rast, Ravid...

    Epic Experiences and Thoughts

    Hijacking the Thread I'm going to hijack the thread for a quick question that's sort of off topic. So if in your campaign you start the world ready for epic levels complete with high level commoners and such, where do your characters start? Truthfully if a common soldier is an 8th level...

    Epic Experiences and Thoughts

    I've had a few games that went into epic levels. I found that I enjoyed starting at lower levels and working your way into epic levels much more. When I started the PCs at 21st level they often bit the big one rather quickly. Also, unless you have very well developed PC's or very good...

    my PC's robbed a magic shop: consequences....

    Said Merchant contacts a diviner, and through scrying they devise some portraits of the characters face and a quick description. He releases wanted posters all over town, especially to businesses, and a small fortune of a bounty (say 1,000 gp). Make sure it denotes that they want the...

    100d6 damage with one hit

    Our DM had a Hulking Hurler Titan that we ran into. It took the top of our Daern's Instant Fortress off with a 20 ton rock for like 200d6 damage. I don't think I've ever seen characters run as fast as we did. That class can be overpowered with the larger creatures....

    DM Forcing Characters on Players

    I've done both, and throughly enjoyed both. The one thing I find that works well is to make a wide variety of pre-made characters (like 10 or so), have multiple plot ideas for each character, and bribe the PCs with PC drawings :D . Then when they pick the pre-made's work with the hooks you...

    Heavy Fighters v. Light Fighters: An equal fight?

    It'd depend on the situation as always, and the build of the fighters (which makes which books are allowed a factor). This is almost always the case in D&D which is why the classes and builds are balanced for the most part. The times a class seems unbalanced is when it shines in more...

    Hustle + Spring Attack= Problem

    I'm not familiar with the hustle power, but the player can still accomplish the same idea, albiet not as effective. It would simply take a longer time, and risk an AoO. The other option would only be available at epic levels, using Dire Charge and hustle to similar effect. However, I have a...

    What's your favorite Epic character build?

    The Epic Smiting Paladin. A 25th level paladin with two epic feats in Great Smiting and one in Dire Charge. Add Spirited Charge, Power Attack, and Divine Might to the mix and evil dies quickly. Charge in with your greatsword at +45 atk and 4d6+230 damage, followed by three more smites at...

    Who can be targetted with Inflict Mass Spells?

    My question is quite simple: Does a cleric casting an inflict mass spell have the ability to pick and choose his targets in the spell's area? If a lich casts the spell can he target himself and other undead allies, potentially healing himself and damaging his opponents? :]

    OGL Question: Can I Use Maglubiyet?

    Thanks for the quick responses. That's unfortunate that he's off limits, but the solution sounds easy enough. After all, it's not too hard to create a Lord of the Depths and Darkness type god :) .

    OGL Question: Can I Use Maglubiyet?

    My question is quite simple, but I seem to find the answer evasive :confused: : Can I attempt to publish something using Maglubiyet, the patron goblin deity, or will I have to write up an entirely new deity for my green skinned warriors? Their are no written up statstics on Maglubiyet to the...

    Need help running a festival.

    Here's the situation: I'm running a group based in the Shadowdale area of FRCS, and the festival of the Melting is fast coming up. Because of previous actions (which I'll get too) Lord Mourngrym has deemed the festival be held in the honor of the PC's and their rival group. I have two basic...

    Cold Iron Brilliant Energy Longsword?

    Why not just have the weapon deal a type of energy damage? Perphaps force, or maybe even light ala Searing Light, Sunbeam, or Sunburst.. Since Energy Damage ignores damage reduction (as Damage Reduction is written on pg. 291-292 of the DMG), that would solve your cold iron problem. It would...

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    Hi, I've mostly lurked here and just read through your story hour over most of the last week and have to say you are an excellent DM with a great group of role-players. Such creative genius is rare :) I have an idea as to what you could have happen... If you're looking for the classical...
