    "Speaker in Dreams" is one of the twinkiest adventures ever written

    You're right. Thanx for the clarification;) . I will grant you that they are tied together, but in a knot that is counterproductive IMO. I can easily imagine an Illithid having a this very plot. But as soon as he brings in the hordes of hell, he'll have every good alligned cleric, paladin...

    "Speaker in Dreams" is one of the twinkiest adventures ever written

    I don't want to presume to speak for KS, but I think you missed his point. It is not a question of High Magic/Low Magic, but erratic magic. IMO, the monsters appeared to be randomly selected and thrown together with little continuity. That was my problem with TSID. With that said, my player...

    Harn Adventures

    Sir Edgar, You can get it from Patrick's site here. You should also check out the other downloads on his page. There is great stuff to be mined at www.swordsandshields.org. Happy reading. Its really only 78 pages. But, they are 78 pages of pure inspiration IMHO. :D Mean DM

    Q for the Harn people

    Surg, Are you looking for HarnMaster or d20 adventures for Harn? Assuming the latter, try here: http://www.columbiagames.com/HarnPage/d20/d20.html and here: http://www.columbiagames.com/Products/HarnDE/HarnDE.html I haven't tried any of these yet, although I just ordered WotW. IIRC, this...

    How to describe Strider's combat on Weathertop

    IIRC, the calling out of Elbereth's name had a significant effect on the Nazgul. I forgot the sequence of events, but I think this played a factor in their flight from the hill. Some sort of turning effect.

    Gibbering Mouther

    How should a character overcome the Ground Manipulation ability of a Gibbering Mouther? Say a character sinks into a cobble stone street. How do you resolve this "pin". What should the "grabble" DC be set at? Mean DM

    Arm Wrestling

    I think I got it now. Each player starts the game with a default DS of zero. But what if she lost by 5 in the first round? Would it be DS -5 Lydia or DS +5 ogre? Mean DM

    Arm Wrestling

    Just bought TFT. Its just what I need. Only problem is that I cannot figure out the Arm Wrestling rules (Opposed DS). The example on page 6 has me stumped. I understand the progression through round 2, but am lost form there. How does Lydia's DS of -3 turn into a DS of 6 for the ogre with a...

    Armor reducing damage

    Hi folks, Just thought I'd throw in Grim-n-Gritty into the discussion. I like what Keith does with Protection and Defense. It is possible to use the new AC system without the drastic HP change. Some changes will be needed IMO, but I haven't worked anything out yet...

    Tracking Alignment

    I can't tell you guys how excited I am about what you are doing here. Keep it coming! It really tires me when people complain about how DnD is only good at a dungeon crawl with a linear plot:mad: . As you are proving (and others have proven before), this system is highly flexible and...

    urgent in game now!

    For the record, the courtyard in question IMC was in a dilapidated castle. As a result, there were sufficient weeds/grass to animate . I respectfully disagree, however, that the area would have to be seriously overgrow to be effected. It was seriously overgrown in relation to a well kept...

    Magic Fang Question

    In defense of Cappun, he's not annoying and certainly not trying to munchkin my game. It is just one of those annoying rule-questions that my group can't agree one (I take an egalitarian approach to DMing despite my name:)). The problem is with me in that I can not make up my mind on this...

    Magic Fang Question

    Point taken, but I think it is implied nonetheless. So how would you handle a druid who casts fang on his/her fists and then wildshaped to a bear. So what say you One Heck of a Adaptable Name Spikey:)? Mean DM

    Magic Fang Question

    It would effect both claws and yes it would stay in effect. The issue for me is whether the +1 fist attack (slam?) of the Druid would be transferable to a +1 claw attack in wildshape. Here is my final conclusion: Upon wild shaping, the druid can specify either a claw or slam attack to be +1 if...

    Magic Fang Question

    You've changed my mind. I think both attacks now. But as per the spell, it can only effect a "slam, fist, bite, or other natural weapon." Since a claw is not a natural weapon for a human, it can not be fanged. Does this make sense? Mean DM
