I aim to please.

Is there anyplace to hide besides the oven?

I like this a lot. One suggestion, however: Maybe the types of information gained can be staggered depending on the amount of ranks the character has in wilderness lore. Example: With 5 ranks in Wilderness Lore and the Track feat, the tracker can use this ability: Common to a known terrain...

Yes. Why? Under the conditions summary in the DMG pg. 83-84, it does not say under either "blinded" or "deafened" that a character automatically fails Reflex saving throws when either blinded or deafened or both. [B] Actually, you don't. You knew he was around last round. You know he might...

Here's an example of a knee-jerk reaction I had when I was DMing four players: A L5 Druid in my game had saved up all of his accumulated treasure. He then wanted to buy a Tan Bag of Tricks (6300gps). I let him buy it considering the PCs where staying in a small city of 6000 people (15,000 gp...

I don't know about that. I think it would mean that a lot more people would disarm/sunder an opponent's shield. Besides, shield users are generally underpowered compared to their TWF/THW brethren. (Which is the opposite case in RL, if we care about that at all. *grin*) And as for making some...

Re: TWF vs THW Sneak attack is not the only way to make TWF effective. You are not taking into account the extra damage from Weapon Specialization, the extra damage from another enhancement bonus, and Improved TWF/Greater TWF. If the original poster wants to go with the two short swords, I'd...

The damage dealer in the group of one of my friends was a lightly armored Fighter/Ranger L1. He played from level 4 to level 12 or so. The way he did lots of damage as a Dex fighter was by using TWF/Imp.TWF/Imp.Critical with twin keen GMW rapiers. With four to five attacks per round, the damage...

[B] That was neat! Thank you for sharing, as not all of us have seen the evolution of the DnD Ranger. (I know I haven't. *grin*)

What I do to make Charisma more important: 1) I write down all of the PC's Chr scores. Whenever an NPC interacts with the party, the most charismatic characters are spoken to first. 2) Charisma modifers affect prices when buying or selling items. (Each +1/-1 modifier affects the gp value of an...

My point exactly. We have been on the brink of disaster forever. How many times has the Earth been "almost blown up?" [B] Not dynamic for the show, but dynamic for me. Explanation: When I was first watching the show, I was entralled with the idea of the Federation, the characters, the...

Consider this taken... ;) I like this, as it means that one large attack can more effective overall than multiple small attacks. It also means that tanks in full plate will once again outshine the mithral chain shirt people. Also, in the case of the Balor and other creatures with lots of NA, I...

No problem. I'm okay with that. :) [B] The fighter and barbarian are versatile in alomost all situations (except the rare instances where their weapons are useless.) The paladin's only ability that is keyed to fighting evil creatures is smite evil. The lack of this in a given situation does...

I just watched Nemesis, and though I was entertained, I agree with you completely. I'm currently of the opinion that only one thing could save the Star Trek universe from utter stagnation: The Collapse of the Federation . . . I'm sick of the Federation being a perfect utopia where humans have...

Me too. Thanks. :)

Give them a hint that normal acid can affect the creature. (If they really need help, you can always put a couple barrels of normal PHB acid flasks in the module.)

I chose the +4 Greatsword for a couple of reasons: 1) I have no brains. ;) 2) I can't stand GMW. 3) We have a house rule that the enhancement bonus of any weapon must be greater than or equal to the total bonuses derived from special abilities. That means the Greatsword +1 of Megafire must be...

I'm still not too keen on Favored Terrain for a ranger. I took a while to think about it and here's why: 1) Favored terrains do not work indoors. Every other class is still at full strength while indoors (including the druid, who can memorize other spells than call lightning and entangle.). A...
