Yep, I was going to give him some item that protects against mind-affecting/charm spells to combat that issue, or maybe just iron will>endurance>indomitable will. The pcs are only 1st level, so this is a LONG time away. Heck, I might even add a few levels of master thrower. ;)

ok, I see my mistake now...that's good for the adventurers. thanks.

Does anyone have anything helpful to add? Thanks.

Howdy. If a stone giant with the hulking hurler prestige class from CW took the trick Meteoric Strike, how would that benefit his damage? As worded, it appears to add bonus (written as "extra") damage, meaning you would simply add twice the strenth bonus to his total damage dealt. I'm...

It's probably been done before, but here we go. I'll start off with a character name so sick and twisted that it took two people to think up. Let me preface this by saying that I have no issues with those of homosexual persuasion, and this is not meant to be defamatory towards them in the...

I look at it like a modern Jewelry Store, which houses literally 100's of 1000's of dollars worth of jewelry (and some in the millions). If Joe Blow decides he wants to rob Nystul's Magic Shop, he would have oodles of security to deal with. There would be probably be a "standard" scrying...

Excellent!!! Thanks...this makes turning much easier to understand...why didn't they spell it out like this in the PHB? :)

Eh. Too much work for me. I'd rather do the legwork now on the items and let the players know ahead of time what powers will "turn on" and when. Then, I no longer have to worry about keeping track of the items. The way I plan to do this is not very much different from a 1st level character...

Dude, it says COUPLE, not Lesbian Couple. :lol:

Ah-ha. That makes sense. Thanks. I've got the hang of it now. I'll have to give the cleric the bad news. ;)

Thanks, but I'm still wondering about how to determine how many are destroyed. Forget about the Turn Resistance for a moment, and let's say they were 3 HD. How many would have been destroyed in this example? 2 destroyed and 1 turned, or 5 destroyed? Thanks.

Also, you can take a -10 to your tumble check and tumble as part of your normal movement, meaning that once you have a +24 or higher skill check, you tumble at normal speed without rolling (vs. 1 creature and not entering their space).

Thanks for both responses. If I've got this right, then would 5 of the shadows in your example be destroyed, OR do they count as 6 HD for purposes of destroying them, and therefore you'd only destroy 2 of them, and then turn a 3rd. OR, do you get a choice of whether to turn or destroy them...

Ok, I've never played a cleric and now I'm dming, so I'm a little confused. Let's say we have a 5th level cleric with an item similar to the Phylactery of Undead-Turning, except it only adds +2 (instead of +4) to his effective turning level. He rolls a total of 16 on his turning check, which...

Yeah, it's a tall order, since I'm trying to make all of the items' alignments match the players. I have to stretch it a little, since all of the items were created by the same group of people. So, basically, as long as each character acts in accords with his/her alignment, I'm not going to...

Interesting ideas, but I think they are too situational...what happens if they don't ever meet an Angel, etc.? I'd rather set the abilities and have them show up when the item's level unlocks it, just for simplicity. Plus, the players already know what they are getting and it gives them...

Well, I did write up rules for the items, and it eerily matched the rules in Unearthed Arcana...not exactly, but close. They get XP at the same rate as the characters (without stealing from the party's pool of XP), and when they go up levels, they gain skill points and ability score increases...

Exactly. Not a problem with fighters who get TONS of viable feat choices with the extra books...but most of the other classes have tough choices indeed, especially with the number of cool feats out there now.

Interesting. I don't think anyone in either group I'm dming would try to sell them. If they did, they'll have a tough time defeating the BBEG. It's a personal gaming choice...I personally love the idea (which is why I'm doing it!), and I think most or all of my players really like the idea as...

Excellent suggestions...thanks! I am actually doing this campaign for two separate groups...one group has 4 players: one knowledgable player, one who's learning, and one who basically is there to roleplay and throw dice because he'll never learn the rules. For group 1, I might keep the items...
