A sorceror devouted to the Demogorgon and his cult followers are investigating the ruins of an old city, namely the ruins of the mages guild. The city is filled with undead from "the great disaster", as well as some common underground monsters that have learned to avoid or destroy the undead...

I don't really have a problem with statting out my NPCs and I fully stat out most anything the PCs may face in combat. However, I don't go to the trouble of making the stats for the local blacksmith beyond relevant skills. I have yet to use any NPC generator or such, preferring to do...

You know, I have a friend who lost twenty pounds by eating basically nothing and drinking only Mt. Dew for a few weeks. He called it the Mt. Dew diet, we call it what happens when you f###ing starve yourself. It's almost a guarantee that without some protein you're losing muscle in the...

I agree. While its a fairly strong ability against some opponents, most the creatures my PCs face would have a hard time tripping. Besides those ways to get out of trip, there's also a high Tumble check (I had a paladin once who could make the DC in mithral full plate), and the Prone Attack...

Deft Strike from CA gives you +4 to your AoO's. Deft Opportunist allows you a 5' step after an AoO. You might be able to make a fairly powerful monk character with the right feats, but nothing game breaking. Bonus- Improved Unarmed, Combat Reflexes, Improved Trip; Normal- Dodge, Mobility...

Karmic strike is pretty powerful, but I'm pretty sure a frenzied beserker or hulking hurler would wipe the floor with em. Anything with a rather high AC could put up a good fight against a monk built in said fashion. A high level cleric or druid, or even wizard would also put up a good fight...

At times. I've fudged before because I didn't feel like killing the character at that moment, or it was anti-clamatic.

My bad, I meant Divine Might. Divine Wrath is from the Divine Champion PrC in FRCS.

How many monsters do you throw at them at a time? Are most of your combats all the PCs vrs. one BBEG? Maybe a pair of dragons might work better. Or you could try an opposing high level party. Try the Rogues Gallery Forum and Blackdirge's Suped-Up Monster thread.

It was a joke about being twinked, but Angelfire Armor is from tbe BoED, basically permanent death ward. Well... not necessarily. They might get to the Tomb of Horrors knowing that something is up, but not knowing just how dangerous Acerack's plans are. A "how far does the bunny hole go"...

Them there is fighting words. Here's where we basically differ, you think RttToH is certain death, my experience from playing in the module and reading it tells me it isn't. Trying to tell each other it's certain death, and that it isn't won't get anywhere. We're going to have to agree to...

IIRC five of the six players had no problem going into the adventure. The other one didn't want to go in for metagame reasons. IME RttToH wasn't an instant death adventure. If you did the wrong thing it had devastating consequences, but a smart catious party can make it through the adventure...

Hey hey, there's a save there and you have to be under 150 hp! They failed their save, they deserve to die! You're all complaining about save or die effects... it's like you've never heard of Death Ward or Angelfire armor. :p It's evident to me that the problem is you're not twinked enough...

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy when my players invest time in their characters as well. But not to the point where they're unwilling to even attempt to try something for fear of losing them. True, but this DM doesn't seem to be that kind of DM. I'd say on a time versus time comparison, the...

No, I'm saying that you're mistaking the hard work of the player to create his character for having fun while playing a game. Earlier in the thread, people were agreeing that he be able to complain based on the idea that he shouldn't have to lose his hard-earned character. I'm disagreeing that...

The player that hears "I want to kill you" should exercise some common sense. If that were the case he'd already be dead, and with a lot less effort. No need to convert 300+ pages, just pull out the MM and throw some big creatures at them. The player needs to trust in his DM a little more...

How can you know somethings crap without trying it? How do you know that the DM in question hasn't changed those save or die effects? Said save or die spells don't make the RttToH, it has plenty of atmosphere, and could easily be ran without them. Not to mention, some of the save or die...

RANT SPOILER I'm a little disappointed by how someone could agree with him not wanting to play this with that reasoning. Personally, if my player didn't want to play because he feared losing his character I'd tell him to not play then. I don't think his character was hard-earned at all, or...

Poll? I see no poll? Where is this poll you speak of?

You can't switch back and forth between paladin and sorceror. Paladin's a one way ticket, and since he listed his class as Pal2/ Sor 1 I'm assuming he switched from paladin to sorceror, which stops him from continuing in the paladin class. Once you stop you're done. I realize this, but where...
