    Resisting Diplomacy

    Remember two things: Diplomacy only works when the NPC is interested in talking. Modifiers are the DMs friend. Bottom line, the NPC either doesn't want to talk, or has no reason to believe what the PC is saying, which IIRC can be up to a -15 or -20 penalty.

    Looking for advice on introducing a new player character

    Alternately, this changeling could have a business or personal relationship with the changeling that has tried to kill them in the past. Some falling out/disagreement leads the new PC to realize that s/he has been wrong about this villainous person and seeks out the PCs to make amends.

    Buff these Hill Giants!

    Ouch.... I'd be willing to bet that the Hill Giant Chief could solo TPK a party of levels 11-13. Raging, he's going to hit an AC30 character an average of 3 times for 31 points a hit. That's 93 points per round, pretty much guaranteed.

    DMG II -- In my hands . . .

    Yes and yes. A handful of new magic items, new properties for weapons and armour. Some properties are obvious (Corrosive and Acidic Burst for weapons) and others are more interesting. For instance - Holy Surge. A base price of +2,000gp to offer you 2d6 holy damage once per day per point of...

    Just grabbed my copy too. Looks like an excellent resource for any DM. I'm happy to answer questions as well...

    Ceramic DM - Spring 2005 (Late Bloomer) - Signups complete

    Smacktalk is never a problem :) Anyhow, I'll shut up about it before I offend anyone. Thanks for the kind words about my GF-in-law though.

    Ceramic DM - Spring 2005 (Late Bloomer) - Signups complete

    Quick note, the next alternate just got I spot because I am dropping out. 2 reasons; my wife's granfather just suffered a massive stroke and we are basically waiting for the call in the hospital any time now, and secondly the bickering and ego display in this thread for the last couple of...

    [TDG] Notebook Essentials: Before Level One

    Fits in with my next campaign very well. I'll be ordering it right away, and I'll give a quick review should anyone want to hear it.

    Today's Order of the Stick

    I've ordered the book (autographed, w00t!) and the few pages detailing the writing, background and explanation that are in it are worth the price alone. Of course the actual production values of the book are very good too...

    [IronDM] Iron DM Returns! Winner announced!

    Stormborn, again I am amazed at how quickly you can churn out 2-3,000 words of module :)

    Bonded Summoner's Elemental

    I'm not sure it's an issue... Fire/Air/Water Elementals are of a rather amorphous physique which should allow them to extend and flatten rather than squeeze, and Earth Elementals could just use it's Earth Glide ability.

    Campaign starting a 0-level?

    Sounds very interesting! Need a proofreader/playtester? ;)

    Campaign starting a 0-level?

    That's a good idea, and one that I will run with. Let them end up with one weapon proficiency or a few extra skill points in something that would eventually be cross-class. Hmm, also a good idea. Perhaps they get standard 1x skill points from the NPC class, and they get their 4x (or 5x) at...

    Campaign starting a 0-level?

    Well, to be clear the 0-level events would only be one session, maybe one and a half. They wouldn't (at that point) be capable of any spellcasting, armour wearing, etc... I know it realistically takes more than, say, one week of training to become a level one fighter, but if you read any of...
