    DM Tricks to Challenge Tough PCs with Weaker Enemies

    No floor. PCs have to cross a cavern ceiling to reach the treasure/mcguffin. Below is a bottomless pit. Difficult terrain with many stalagtites, spiderwebs, holes for cetipeds to crawl out of.... Monsters: various virmin, piercers, anything with a climb speed and a good grapple. If you are...

    While Spiderclimbing- Prone?

    Our warlock goes prone on the ceiling all the time. According to the prone rules, he gets an attack bonus for firing while prone.....

    Is there a Psionic Analogue for the Druid?

    I'd say ardent of the Natural world, elements, and later energy domains. But if you really want a close fit, just call incarnum psionic and use a totemist.

    I need a better Scorcerer

    well, you don't have to play up the dragon aspect. Or you could just use Warmage. If you are just after death powers, then there is the Dread Necromancer from HoH, and the Deathmaster from Dragon Compendium, or the Necromancer class from Diablo d20. Exactly what do you want the mummy to be...

    Oots 439

    I think that people are going to be disapointed when the Eye of Fear and Flame toasts him. Does anyone else know what those things can do?

    charging wagons and spinner hubcaps.

    No guys, seriously.... Are there any rules for wagon and ox damage? and i'm sure this will keep coming up, both in the party I play in, and the party that I gm for.

    charging wagons and spinner hubcaps.

    Please note, this is a serious question even if it is coming from a gnome pc..... I pimped my ride. After finishing The Last Riddle my party ended up inheriting an account at a smithy for 2600 gp in misc mundane items, deliverible as soon as they were finished. After taking into account the...

    20 spell levels instead of 9?

    If you want to see it done, look at the EverQuest d20 system. They used a spell point system, spell levels 1-20, and limited spells prepared to 8 without feats.

    [Rant] Do editing/proofreading errors drive you mad, too?

    Last line in a "monkey god" module "Remember to make stats for random encounters" They did remember, but they forgot to take the reminder out.

    Oots #437

    If Rich has read the old monster descriptions, the party is screwed. Does anyone remember what a Death Knight and an Eye of Fear and Flame can do? The Hecuva is the least powerful of the three.

    Wizard seeking Wizard

    The PC has a chance to discover that the true talents of the town money changer aren't strictly financial in nature. If he picks up on this clue, he can black mail the money changer into teaching him, as forgery of currency carries a heavy penalty. Of course, if he isn't sufficiently...

    Airship Antics (plot help requested)

    Snakes on a plane. I actually ran this for the "Winter break but we're still here and bored can you run something please" one shot for my college group. I started out by conning them into think that I was running "Titanic" by playing up the dignitaries and maiden voyage of this "ship of...

    Airship Antics (plot help requested)

    Suggestions: 1, Forget the Emerald Claw. Go with Eco Terrorists trying to free the bound elemental powering the plane. or The airship is pulled into the elemetal plane of air somehow, and the pcs have to fight their way back to the PMP. 2, Snakes on a plane. The air crew is inflitrated...

    My First PC Kill As A DM (Sort Of)

    I ran a old module once where one peice of treasure was a cursed scrool of summon cockatrice. About a week, and another cleared dungeon later, the 1/2 wizard finally gets around to trying to ID the scrool. He was going though treasure in the wagon while eveyone else was having breakfast on the...

    War(locks), what is it good for?

    One bit of cheese my group found is the fireing while prone rules. I think it is a +4 stability bonus to the shot or something, and provides +4 to ac against ranged attacks. Our guy has the constant spider climb invocation, so he goes prone on the ceiling.....

    Giant Task

    I think the reason that pyro or cryro don't add +1 is that it builds in a vulnerablity to the opposing element/energy type. If you want to make it "uglier" might I suggest a specific "racial" tactical feat? Toss and charge. When making a charge attack against 2 non adjacent opponents in a...

    What do you think about Psionics?

    Hey, its not Dragon Magic. I would suggest going slowly into it. Choose a psionic monster, study up on it's powers, and then run it against the party. That way you can learn the system before opening it to the players.

    Great, you can reinvent online televagalism.

    Complexity of an Attack: examples?

    for complexity, try all the possible permutations on a turning check. Or setting off a Morts disjuction in a BBEG Wizard's keep.
