The Song of Fodin is a good first level adventure. It's written for pathfinder but you could run it in 3.5 with minimal effort. The party is stranded on an island after a shipwreck and needs to find a way home. http://www.necromancers-online.com/Downloads/The%20Song%20of%20Fodin.pdf

Basket of the Pic-a-nic: This ordinary wicker basket is lined with a blanket. Reaching into the basket provides the user a complete meal. The exact contents of the meal are up to the individual when they draw forth their meal. The food is rich, hearty, and is enough to feed an adventurer for...

Bards get two cantrips per day at first level. Though their spell progression is wacky.

If you toss it hard enough the second floor will be the first floor's vaulted ceiling.

Some big steel drums that he uses a mace for a drumstick. Though I like the idea of the bear tossing a caber as a weapon, too.

You're right! I had completely forgotten the needed Charisma for spell casting. Silly me. Lets say you're at 9 Charisma to start. Bards only get 6th level spells. A bump from leveling up and a +6 cloak is more than enough. On another note, would a bear need Natural Spell?

Facing just isn't really brought up in 3.5. The best I can find for you Greenfield is an article about updating the Beholder. that addresses facing problems.

The Assassin class is one of the many things that has led me to believe that not everything printed in them is intended for the players. Three rounds sitting around studying your target is not exactly exciting gameplay. The only way I can see it getting a lot of use is if the party is in a...

So this? I would probably go for Black Bear to minimize the racial HD and level adjustment. Then, you only really need one level of Barbarian for the rage. Extra Rage can get you the rest. Take the rest as Bard. Remember that Bardic music just requires ranks in perform to use. Your spell...

Out of curiosity, what happens if you pray for spells at sunset? Is it always time to get new spells?

I'm a bit torn on this. Part of me wants to say "Oh, you get your spells back at dawn? Well it's not dawn." and force the players to dig deep. Make every cantrip count. That wand you've been carrying around for the last three levels? Time to bust it out. Maybe by purging certain parts of...

My players response upon meeting the Stormblades was "I'm sorry, who are you? We've been too busy saving the city" and promptly ridiculed and ignored them. I had an explayer complain that I used anti-parties too much. The argument came after I had a cleric backing up a group of rogues. The...

The spell allows you to pass through "Mere cracks" so I would say yes. I will also agree with Celebrim that a creature that completely takes up its square would prevent movement, such as a gelatinous cube. Its movement would also be impeded if you could surrounded it with liquid (some sort...

Hollow's Last Hope, a free level 1 pathfinder module, might be useful. There is a mix of combat, exploration and roleplaying. If you have the herbalist in town give (sell?) some healing potions to him at the beginning a single player should be able to do it. Plus, if your son enjoys the...

I'm a fan of the way my wife put it. The farmer goes into the forest to gather firewood. The goblins see him gathering wood and think "He's got nothing worth stealing" and leave him alone. The farmer goes home with his firewood. The low level adventurers go into the forest. The goblins see...

I finished up a playthrough of Shackled City, using 3.5 rules, not too long ago. We did skip Chapter 12, Asylum, at the very end though. With Adrimarchus being locked up, my players didn't see the need to go fight him and I had been treating him as this nebulous force that was driving the...

I have a couple of thoughts. First, if I was attempting to protect an evil artifact from an evil cult, I would fill my dungeon with a bunch of good aligned monsters. Start off with some summoned celestial animals and as the party climbs the tower the monsters not only become stronger but...

Other than the Red Wizard of Thay PrC, there is the Cooperative Spell feat in Complete Arcane but all that does is add to the DC and give bonuses for caster level checks. Now, it is entirely within your rights as a DM to say "To do this magick you need to do this complex ritual as described...

In the 3.5 DMG there is a city encounter table. Could you use that? What else are you looking for on this table? More information might be useful.

The other thing to consider is if you're giving a creature Fire Resistance and if the party uses a lot of fire. Yes, giving the monster fire resistance may explain why it lives in the fiery cave but if the party only has an ice mage then ... who cares about the CR?
