Ancient Wizards College As a potential ruin of an ancient Wizards college and the support industires that grew up arround it, this site could hold all kinds of interesting things. Anything from unstable teleport or gate points ready to wisk the characters off to some unknown place to strange...

Nice Hijack Zad... Me thinks this thread went down the wrong track....not that the content of the discusion isn't useful information. So does all this mean that a wizard could provide the area spell for imbuing or not. If the wizard stood beside the AA and touched the arrow during the imbue...

All my campaigns start out as a loose collection of side quests. Over time, some of these side quests develop life of their own, some die and some are totaly ignored. The ones that gain a life of their own become the main story arcs. The problem is that I am better at starting a side quest...

Make it a class ability. If this is a base class, then give it to him at 5th or so. If it is a PrC, then make the prerequisites achivable by 4th or 5th and give the Spirt walk ability at 1st or 2nd level of the PrC. Then take all the other abilities that augment it like possesion and...

That's what I thought, thanks for the confirmation...

Game mechanics are a wonderfull thing. While I agree in principle that having perform be one skill to cover all disciplines about as much as I think it realistic that someone is just as skilled with a bow as he is with a sword, if we want to divided it all up into realistic demarcations, we...

According to the rules (3.0) A) If all you do is move directly away from your opponent, and your only action for the round is to move, then you do not induce an attack of opportunity. B) I all you take is a single 5-foot step, you do not take an attack of opportunity. C) If you drink a potion...

It doesn't really matter whether you allow the bonuses to stack or not. While it might be nice to turn the realy powerful undead, it is often more important to use the ability to DUST all the week undead all around. Allowing the items to stack just means that more of the lower level stuff us...

At 2nd level, the arcane archer gains the ability to imbue an area effect spell into an arrow, essentialy allowing her to trade the normal range of that spell for the arrows range. The arrow must be fired in the same round as the imbue action. Would it be too much to allow someone else to be...

We're using the Comelineness stat in our games as well. Why not make it a variation on the standard Buff spells like bull's strength and Cat's Grace. Have it add 1d4+1 to Com and lasts 1 hour / level. Seems a straight forward assumption to me. Then you could make more lasting versions at...

Not a gamer girl, but a ful fledged gammer guy. I am currently involved in two games that have women in them. One has 6 players, 2 of which are female, the other has 8 players, 5 of which are female. My wife and I make op 2 of the players in each of these games (actualy I run the smaller game...

I'm thinking of designing a purely skill based system of casting spells. The idea is that the character builds up ranks in "Magic Paths" that allow him to achive certain effects based on what is possible with that path. example paths could include: Elemental paths (eg. Fire, Cold, etc.)...

Depends on the flavour of the game that I'm running. But most people in my group like to roll, that is the way we do it. Sometimes I want the heros to start out as heroes so I get them to roll 4D6, re-roll all 1s, roll 10 stats and pick the 6 best. That way the get a high average and nobody...

Is the damage bonus from the Power attack feat multiplied along with strenght etc. durring a critical hit. Example Fighter with 18 strength using a Greataxe (TH) would normaly do 1d12 + 6 If he uses the power attack and takes a -3 to hit be can add +3 (+6 in 3.5e) to damage for a total of...

Open Option is, In one of our campaigns we had the same discussion and came to the conclusion that the rapier would indead cause the extra penalty when used in TWF. !!Warning!! Potentialy Dangerous House Rule Later, we decided that if armor made from Mithril was considered one catagory...

Fear the Vorpal Weapon Just remember that the automatic crit, if combined with a vorpal weapon can be quite dangerous...

Porblem Part of the thrill of an adventurers life is find all kinds of treasure. Frequently, this treasure contains magic items. Sometimes however, while the power offered by these magic items would be very beneficial to your character, you are loath to take the item as your own because it...

Keep a tally of the number "spell levels" of beneficial magics cast on each person. Give them a threshold equal to their wisdom or something. Each day, their current talley is reduced by their level. If their current tally goes above their threshold, bad things begin to happen. Examples...

Hypothetical Situation: Person is transformed into a large animal such as a draft horse and uses this for to help in some very heavy work being done over the course of several hours. Once the work is complete, Polymorph is canceled and the person returns to normal. Needless to say, a hard...
