Eh...I don't want to ramrod everyone into a one-size-fits-none ruleset. Besides, I fully intend to run a much more liberal campaign when I have more DM XP under my belt. I'm bothered by the fact that no one complained that my rules were too restrictive until FOUR SESSIONS INTO THE CAMPAIGN...

Well...it was 15th level pregen PCs in the third segment of a truly killer module (one of the Gencon Dungeon Crawl Classics tourney modules), and it didn't ruin the rest of the module. Actually, it made a very interesting plot twist possible.

IRT Odhanan: The campaign is the World's Largest Dungeon, so I don't have the option of simply changing out creatures with higher-CR ones without a TON of work - work that I'd rather avoid. As to allowing non-core stuff, I've tried to be reasonable about approving requests...I don't mind...

I'm currently running a game for my D&D group, and I'm running into attitude issues with one of the players. There are seven people in the group, and three of us are comfortable running games on a fairly long-term basis. Another (the problem player) has run a couple of one-shots. I have very...

There is a sentiment that the Kobold is a very weak race for a PC to choose. Unfortunately, one of my players in the World's Largest Dungeon has a character concept that fits extremely well with kobolds, and not so well with orcs or goblinoids (the only other choices given the party's current...

What's the problem? If summoning a second would ruin the PCs, then, as DM, don't do it. Also, keep in mind that demons/devils are loathe to summon aid because they hate to owe each other anything. That means, to me, that the ability doesn't get used until the demon is on the ropes - at which...

Orb of [element] and the Archmage Energy mastery ability. Now the energy resistances of monsters don't matter!

The DMG and the SRD agree on this: Most potions/oils containing 1st level spells (Cure Light Wounds, Magic Weapon, etc) cost 50gp each. They also agree that a Potion of Enlarge (or Reduce) Person, a 1st level spell, costs 250gp. I'd like to know why. Is this an error in the book, or is there...

Orb of Force maxes out at 10d6 damage. For a 4th level spell, that's a little underwhelming.

On the other side of the coin, there are some very strong benefits to playing good characters. The elemental rooms in region A, the possible alliance with the celestials in E, etc.

Ask, and ye shall receive. I spliced 'em together :) http://home.comcast.net/~norshire/Heroes_Chaos_Wallpaper.JPG

Question, what IS the question you want us to answer? Saying "Discuss" and then getting frustrated when it derails from your secret expectations is, IMO, a little unfair to us. Regarding the belt...the DM has final authority on what is and isn't allowed in his campaign. If that means your...

Gargoyles. Put a dozen lifelike statues in the initial cave, and have the gargoyles hiding amongst them. 4-6 'goyles would be about right (2-4 if you advance them).

This post made my day.

Tonguez, could you link to the WOTC feature? der_kluge, would you mind adding the EL for each room to your index? I'm strongly considering dropping "The Greatest Of Chokerkind" down to a CR 6 or 7 to avoid stocking this cave with too many high-EL encounters (like 8 and 11). Also, linking each...

I live to serve. Have fun at the expo :)

There's no burden of historical accuracy on non-historical elements. Would you feel perfectly comfortable playing a game where Longbows had a range increment of 20', fired once per round with a MEA to reload, and Crossbows had a range increment of 1000' and had a free action to reload? They...

Again, why does a Cha-based caster need to have a high Int to be 'believable' to you? Why does the choker need to be a genius to instinctively release a sort of magical adrenaline before a battle? Thinking in those terms, even an animal of Int 1 could reasonably use the buffing spells I've...

Fair enough. It IS having its desired effect - I'm *very* aware of the sale :)

I just wanted to point out the following link to the people criticizing my vicious choker: http://d20npcs.wikia.com/wiki/Choker_Assassin%2C_%22Ek_Gub%22
