Well, based on party compostion, you need to play both characters. You need a healer and arcane caster (a necessity for Shackled City) and the theurge gives you both. And you need a rogue, another necessity. And since Shackled City states that it was designed for a party of six, then play...

Just a comment on replayability of adventures. I don't mind playing through an adventure more than once as a player but I am strange that way. I may know what lies beyond yon door in module X but the other players do not and the fun for me is watching how they cope. I've been through one...

I hoard my D&D stuff like a dragon hoards treasure. Amazing how much stuff one accumulates over 32 years of D&D. If I was a dragon, I would be triple standard treasure :D

Excellent! Because it would be a shame to invest into this class and not get to inspire some troops and get some battlefield time in.

A question - Will someone who takes the Commander class for this adventure path get opportunities to fully strut his stuff, like commanding small or large military units at some point? Seems like a good class to try out if there is going to be military style battles to be fought and troops to...

2 campaigns from 1st to 30th (one 2e, one 3.x) 7 campaigns from 1st to 20-21. 5 campaigns from 1st to 18th. A number of other campaigns that went from 1st to between 14th and 16th

I remember when Dixie went through her 'evil' phase. Good example of why guys find a 'bad girl' so hot.... :lol:

Adventure Paths deal with the railroad issue by using a 'carrot and stick' approach. The 'carrot' is to try to make a compelling storyline that the players want to engage in the story. It does this by making friendly NPCs that, hopefully, the party becomes attached to. These NPC become plot...

Weighted....Measured.....and Found Wanting.

No, unless the plot element is very blatant or very recent enough for them to make a association.

Well, the supposedly unkillable 'crap' monster on level 1 will be a problem because most players (mine included) will not realize that it is unkillable. My players did attack and retreat, attack and retreat until they finally realized they couldn't defeat it. Left a sour chord with them as...

This thread is inspired somewhat by Upper Krust's Future Format of 4th Edition D&D thread as well as the host of many threads discussing whether D&D is too rules heavy and the quest by some for a good D&D-Lite ruleset. The question: Is generational factors warring for the heart and soul of...

Upper Krust: You wanted to know why I support the concept you are putting forward but not call it D&D 4E. As I stated, the changes (if I understand your concepts) are too large, which makes it a paradigm shift. This might not be the best illustration but there is a significant difference...

As a concept, I am interested in it. If it is a possible future of D&D, then I am not interested. Making D&D a quasi board/card game is going too far for me to follow. Make something like you suggest and call it something else, then I am so there - just don't call it D&D 4th edition, because...

We are just finishing Tides of Dread. So far, for me, the best adventures for STAP has been The Sea Wyvern's Wake and Tides of Dread. Style for STAP has been somewhat buckleswasher compared to the others. Lots of action or time at sea, which is quite different to the two previous APs...

When their arrogance level or ego grows to the point that they firmly believe that they can 'do it better' than anyone else. Then, let them try. Systems and rules have come and gone. Hell, my bookcase of games is testament to that. The trouble is, some of those rules/systems are good in my...

You think your a bad DM because your players sent only half the party on a half baked plan to assault the orc war band, that went awry due to it being...well, a half baked plan and one of the party gets captured by brutal, vicious orcs and then dies a slow death because the party failed to act...

I use the Stargate concept in my FR campaign. The Imaskari were the original gate builders who built the gate network to facilitate their extraplanar / transspace exploration and raiding. Canon in FR states that the Imaskari conquered entire peoples and transplanted them to Faerun. My spin is...

If the implimentation is done right, I am so there... :)

The party rogue got captured trying to infiltrate an evil cult (he was doing a recon) and was brought before the leader. Evil Cultist 2nd in command: "We have captured an intruder. Do you wish to observe the interrogation, my lord?" (read in: torture) Evil Cult Leader: "Yes. (pause) And...
