Rods of Metamagic are one choice. The trouble with those is that they will fall into the party's hands, which could be problematic or undesirable as they will sharply spike up the party's wealth. Scrolls are a better choice as one shot items. Make the scrolls hold spells the spellcaster...

Run Redhand of Doom. The NPCs are useful for providing some information about what is going on and if the tendency is to shoot first and ask questions later, then the situation generally gets harder for the PCs because 'information' from the NPCs tends to help deal with future situations or...

During an adventure in which they invaded the BBEG's keep, the party came across the BBEG's bedroom. I described the bedroom and rolled the obligatory search checks and the party looted the room of any valuables. When I asked what they were doing next, the player playing the wizard stated that...

A few more ideas... The country is environmentally normal in all aspects. The vampires keep control through their proxies and minions during the day and have no restrictions during the night. So during the day, the people put up with the vampires' taskmasters and minions, who are so numerous...

Have characters in any of your campaigns been to two or more of the planes and more specifically, travelled from one plane to another? It is easy to retcon if they have not. Sages and others in your campaign world have developed an imperfect analog of the planes and the truth isn't know except...

Paizo has stated that quite a number of their subscribers to Dungeon and Dragon magazines are prisoners in the penal system. I would think that would qualify as 'having a hard time in reality'. I know that if I was in prison, I would be having a hard time of it.

The proof is in the pudding, as the saying goes. Look at the number of people playing D&D and number of people playing Palladium. Or look at the market share. If the 'free wheeling' system (represented by Palladium) is the supposed holy grail, then the numbers should be reversed, with...

Feat: Hero's Sidekick Prerequisites - must be 5 levels or lower than the total levels of the hero the sidekick is partnered with. Benefits - Any foe of Int 3 or higher must make a Will Save DC 10 + the foe's Hit Dice to consider you any sort of a threat. On a save, you can be attacked...

Heh. More like a paladin of 'Anorexius' - Goddess of Eating Disorders

The real question is - while you could do a method to support a wide PC imbalance, why would you? Really, you could have a way to have 10th level characters and 3rd level characters in the same party but who in their right mind would want to play the 3rd level mook when others are at 10th...

Facial features - average good looks. Torso features - look scrawny based on proportion to head. Underweight. Arm features - proportion is to the rest of the body is bad, particularly the left arm. The left arm is only as thick as the haft of the weapon it is holding in the lower portion...

My schedule is hell but maybe I can swing down to the 'Peg from The Pas sometime and sit in on your game. Sometimes, all it takes is someone at the table with enthusiasm, energy and a touch of the thespian to get people out of their ruts and try re-connecting with their game in a different...

Organize 'Game Days' You can start small and do them out of your house (not ideal but can work) or find some place where you can rent cheap or use for free (colleges and universities are good choices - our college, for example, only charges 25.00 for per day for the use of a large classroom...

I've gotten great mileage out of Magic Jar as a player. It is a spell you don't cast on a whim but if you take a prepared and calculated approach to its application, you can do all sorts of things with it that will drive DMs bananas.

Odd, that. I would think that killing off Dungeon and Dragon magazines in their current incarnation would be classified as a "major announcment". Perhaps if they said something about their intentions during D&D XP, they might of lessened the whirlwind the 'outta the blue' announcement of the...

How about.... "There's an old saying: 'Do not try the patience of Wizards for they are subtle and quick to anger.'" -- Elric ,Technomage, to Vir in Babylon 5:"The Geometry of Shadows"

Hmmm. The chess pieces are definitely in motion. I suspect that WOTC is consolidating all the intellectual properties by bringing them all back under their wing. I expect shortly to hear similar announcements from or cease and desist to Athas.org, the Birthright site and others. And if WOTC...

If you are all jiggy with the goblin song, here is another, posted by Balabar on the Paizo boards. "Goblins sneak and goblins hide, Goblins hunt when it’s dark outside, Out of the forest, through the trees, Goblins quiet in the leaves. Goblins sneak and goblins harm, Goblins find a lonely...

Contact Paizo about this. Several other people have been discussing similar ideas on the customer service message boards in the last hour and customer service has been responding positively to such requests.

I feel like someone that I know just died. It is the same 'punched in the gut' feeling. I absolutely loved Dungeon and Dragon magazine under Paizo, Dungeon in particular. It was one of the few things in my life I really got to look forward to in my life, my month mags from Paizo, being in...
