Or any escort quest in any rpg ever. Trit

The wizard in my campaign is a Tome of Readiness junkie, taking feats etc to take as many extra powers to pick from at each rest. This is largely a role play decision, but the player has begun to love the variety he can bring, often asking the party each day to help him decide which powers will...

One way to prevent simply aiding one character again and again is to keep the chaotic and pressing nature of the battle ever present. Maybe do this by limiting the number of aid actions that can be done in a turn, or penalize players if they don't succeed at a certain number of tasks every...

Nothing wrong with getting distracted while doing prep work. Some of my best deals came from a distraction months prior to ever seeing game time. Also, Ulrick Tremar is a great name. He may show up somewhere in my Germanic based kingdom sometime. Trit

Many posts above have covered using less-commonly used languages, which is a trick I use myself. I've found Estonian works to fill in the gaps where other languages don't. It gives a nice mix of rougher sounding words and more fluid, elegant sounds, making is useful for both orcish and elven...

If I'm understanding your pondering correctly, it does raise an interesting point. Can you hit a target with a close blast if it's also in your square? I feel like RAW could go either way, leaning towards no (otherwise wouldn't you also hit yourself?). But I'd rule I. Game that you could, as...

Knowing my players, genocide is the type of large or heavy issue they'd on some level like to deal with (as long as it is a rare occurrence.) Rape, on the other hand, is one they'd probably want to avoid. And even that might not exclude using breeding procedure in my campaigns... But I'd still...

I'm similarly building a session around a large scale battle within a city, however in mine the players are attempting to wrest control away from a succubus and her cult. They're only heroic tier as well. Though it sounds like I'm planning to be more combat focused than your style, I'll post...

Having just made a companion character for the heroes to run with in our last two sessions, I can highly recommend them over a more complicated stat block. You can also pass the running of such characters off to a player, since their simplified stat block doesn't usually confuse and bewilder a...

Some of these ideas are great, and I may directly steal Celebrim's for my own campaign, but I would be cautious including rape in an adventure, unless you know your players are comfortable with it. It may be worth discussing it with them before hand, just to ensure everyone's okay with the...

I'm on the fence about making the players the generals in this scene. It is a very cool idea/trope and one I'd love to use at another time, but... just doesn't feel quite right here. Maybe it doesn't play into the bedlam I want them to experience in the streets. 100% agree with making PC's make...

Higher stakes and a larger scope for his plan is one way to make him more than just a mad scientist at the end of a dungeon. What does he plan to do with the knowledge and mutated creatures he has gained? What does this specific blade being forged do that makes it a real threat. Depending what...

I posted this a week or two ago in the 4E form, but thought I could appeal to the D&D masses on a whole for ideas. I know it's a long post, so thanks to those who bear with me enough to give their ideas. My players have been battling a cult who has, with the help of a succubus, taken control of...

Perfecto. I figured this was the case, just was looking for the exact place it stated it. Thanks! Would XP, but need to spread the love still. Trit

Quick rules question; Am I reading this wrong/missing something, or can druids use their beast form powers at any time? I know when if beast form, you can only use powers with the Beast Form keyword(s), but does it say anywhere you can't use those powers normally? Trit

Incredibly vague and unhelpful post, but a third party 3rd edition pirate setting had an interesting (as I remember it) mass combat system for ship to ship fights. Health determined attack rolls and damage, representing the loss of crew as the loss of effectiveness. I wish I could remember what...

So from what I'm hearing, I can catalog as long as I don't post content that otherwise you could only get via DDI. My new question is what would be the best way to organize these online, so I don't give them away, but also don't have to download them all to my computer. The only way I can think...

I similarly use Masterplan. I've only scratched the surface, and mostly rely on the encyclopedia feature for NPC tracking, but find the encounter builder really helpful (for 4E encounters). I'd be interested in hearing how you use it, and what features you've been finding the most helpful. Trit

Oh, add on there that it can be used as a implement for paladin powers. Trit

I feel I should clarify a few points before I post my draft of the weapon. The paladin does -care- about knowledge, his player however tends to see value in things more combat-oriented. This isn't to say he doesn't like the roleplay of a knowledgeable advisor type character. I'd just need to...
