Good luck! I for one absolutely love 3.5. I mean, it's not perfect of course, but it by far beats any other system I have played. There are a ton of rules, I admit, but thanks to the internet, we can find answers fairly easily and quickly. I played 3.0 and then 3.5 only using the core books...

Always check the store locator online and verify a store actually has the book before wasting your gas! I've done this before myself, and could've kicked myself for not checking first. Browsing at a store is a good idea and has made me decide to buy some books and not others. Good luck.

I haven't even really started yet. I have to beef up just about everything in the module because of my large party (7) and my bright idea of giving each member a powerful intelligent item that each gains powers with each level. :\ I am hoping some of the encounters will work without much...

Well, I've completely changed the GhostLord, origins and all, to become the complete BBEG for the entire campaign. I intentionally beefed him up to scare the p!ss out of my players. From memory, he is now about a cr25 unholy scion drow wizard/cleric/necromancer with the mohrg's tongue undead...

It's ghasts that can still paralyze elves.

I don't have it yet, but plan to buy it. I suggest you do the same or if your finances don't allow for it, then take a trip to the bookstore and committ what you want to memory.

Exactly. I do agree that "by the book" FoM works against Despair. I already stated above why I think this makes no sense.

However...it's a great idea for me because the Lich happens to worship Orcus. Bwahahahaha!

That's pretty cool. I don't even know why I'm thinking about this right now...my players just turned level 3! I just like planning ahead I guess...I have a big gap between RHoD and when they have any hope of fighting the CR 25 Lich (not a demi-lich...worse) and I just thought the Tomb of...

Good idea, but what about the geas/quest to get them to agree to the game terms? Is that in the power of the spell? Maybe I should post this part over in the rules section. I think the players would agree out of character, although some would not like the idea of fighting one on one. :)

By the way, I plan to change the big room full of pillars or columns into a chess board. Years ago a DM did this when I was a player, but it was using a completely customized version of rolemaster. How, in 3.5 D&D, would you make PC's enter into a game of chess (with themselves as game...

Thanks for the tips! I'll check out those other threads for more advice.

So do those of you who think FoM gives immunity to anything that impedes movement also think FoM works against any effect that would have otherwise made you frightened or panicked? How about Power Word Stun? How about Power Word Blind for that matter? I mean, if you're blind, technically that...

Howdy. I'd like to beef up the Tomb of Horrors to use when my PCs are more along the lines of 17th level, possibly even higher. What's the best book out there for higher CR traps? I know there's Traps and Treachery, but I think that was 3.0. I guess 3rd party stuff's ok since I'm the DM...

I agree 100% with Plainsailing. As a DM, I would not allow Freedom of Movement to protect against something that impedes one's movement through mind-affecting means. It's already powerful enough as is. If you're paralzed with fear (you missed your will save), well then...you're paralyzed with...

Stay a fighter, or maybe 1 level of barbarian. With access to all of the books, there is truly a great feat choice at every step. Eventually you want endurance and iron will so that you can get Indomitable Soul and Steadfast Determination. I know you didn't ask for defensive feats, but in my...

goliath? What book is goliath from? Thanks.

Every campaign I have been in since 2000 hasn't had a problem. Mass Darkvision becomes standard fare when it's available. I don't see an issue here, but if it makes you and your players happy, who cares what I think? ;)

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Our old DM had very similar advice for me, as far as increasing the number of critters. Still, I like the idea of having a more powerful creature than they are used to fighting occasionally. Luckily, I have a few levels to play around with before they start...

Howdy. I have a party of 7 PC's, and they also each have intelligent items that gain powers as they level. Without posting the actual items, I'll just say that they are pretty nice and get better as they level up. Right now, I'm thinking of adding +1 to the average party level, based solely...
