ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH! Paizo will NO longer be publishing Dragon and Dungeon magazines. Press release on Paizo's main page and FAQ is here FAQ

It's 'car wreck syndrome'. Everyone feels compelled to get a look and gawk. And you talk to others about the car wreck you just saw.

Looks like a solid group with the potential for some interesting dynamics. My two cents worth.... If the player playing the cleric got shoehorned into the medic role, consider a druid. Given the sheer number of animals and the environs of the Isle of Dread, a solid druid build is 'da bomb'...

Well, you still need a trap monkey, so that player could go rogue with max ranks in Use Magic Device so that he can use wands, etc. Or, Arcane Trickster, for a good rogue/mage progression.

My group uses that tactic very frequently. Nothing wrong with them using it. Just remember that most doors will not have a one inch size opening in them. Chances are good that most traps will be overlooked or undetected. If they are scouting rooms and corridors, just remember that they can...

I hope you don't mind a bit of advice to pass to your group. And I will try to avoid any spoilers. The beguiler is sub-optimal for the AoW AP. In the latter half of the AP, the beguiler will be feeling ineffective due to the nature of the advesaries at that point. Just take that on trust...

AoW will be hard going in places but it is a very enjoyable AP (at least for our group). Make sure you bring your 'A' game to the table every session because the APs are notoriously unforgiving of suboptimal play and poor decision making. The Paizo boards have all sorts of horror stories of...

I remember one incident. Symbol spells are triggered by a variety of means - seeing the symbol is one trigger condition, touching the symbol is another trigger condition. Our party hit a auto-reset symbol of death on symbol of death on a floor in a dungeon. The rogue, going in advance, made...

You can have Capt Harliss escape the caves and run into the party (assuming they are encamping somewhere nearby) and take it from there. Alternatively, you can do a total re-write of the Bullwug's Gambit. The sole purpose of the Kraken Cove segment is to introduce the effects of the Savage...

I blame diaglo :p

I have played numerous campaigns (from 1st to 20th) with our group and our group isn't into buffing that much, if at all. We have done RttToEE, Shackled City and AoW and are currently in Savage Tide, on top of homebrew campaigns and the number of times people have cast buffed spells for any...

I have traps within traps. Really gets the incautionous who just assume the trap they just found is the *only* trap in that particular location. I also have some traps designed such that they can't be disarmed by conventional means because the trap mechanism is behind a barrier of some sort...

QFT. It's not like I live in Uzbekistan. It is Canada, damn it, but the above quote is exactly what my experience is.

Sorry to disagree but, Stacking applies to named bonuses. Unnamed bonuses do stack. And hit points are not 'bonuses', they are ... well, hit points. And even if they are consider a bonus, (which they are not) they are not a 'named' bonus - temporary is not a proper name. It is clear what is...

I played a dwarven cleric from 1st level to 11th level without the party ever knowing he was a cleric. They all thought he was a fighter class. In that campaign, dwarves were a very secretative race and religious practices are not done in front of non-dwarves. He was the sole survivor of his...

Definately, do not make ranged spells so they can be channelled through the blade as it would make the Duskblade too powerful. If the lack of a variety of touch spells is perceived to be a issue, then touch spells could be added to the spell list, assuming the DM will allow it. I have played a...

I've rolled and seen rolled lots of '00' in my 30+ years of playing. In fact, for me, '00' isn't than uncommon, so remembering something memorable for a particular '00' roll is a stretch. I do remember one incident, with one of my players. 1E D&D with the System Shock rules. Don't remember...

Hey, Emirikol You are four days too early for the April Fools or, is this a case of wishful thinking.... :lol:

Congrats, MerricB. Hope you have a enjoyable end to the AoW AP. A caveat our group is particularly savvy tactically and most of the players a min/maxers so the characters are buff. Don't know how your players are in comparison. With our group, Kyuss went down like a chump fighter with a...

Gosh.... a Monty Haul DM in this day and age. I thought them to be an endangered species. :lol:
