I'm not sure how to handle this. Last night I had the players use lay on hands to damage a wraith. I ruled that it did a healing surge worth of damage and ignored insubstantial, and also dealt radiant damage. Thing is, I used a healing surge from the wraith, so it did 1/4ths his hps. Not a...

Hello. As it will invariably get asked, "Why do you want to convert?" -- this is a game I'm running for my family, and I've been running it once every few months for a few years. Though True20 is a wonderful system, it is not as easy to learn and retain as 4E for a new player. I think with...

[Just a teaser.] It was time. She climbed up from the volcano where she had long slumbered. Her lieutenant followed, carrying with her a boiling vat of lava. Her thirteen lesser followers, fire giants of simple stature, stood too low to the ground for her to deign to speak to. Her...

Per http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36838 In the 4E Monster Manual, there are male medusae! Well, I just saw my first house rule. Those guys are out, medusae are female. How about you?

“Nice night,” her sister whispered, as they sat on their gravestones. She nodded. Killed by the same suitor, their spirits would not sleep. It was the first night of the full moon. “We should go a-haunting, dear.” Her sister smiled. It was the first time they’d left the graveyard, and she...

Hey, with all the fuss about Ravenloft going on, I've got some of my old vigor for horror-fantasy awakened by nostalgia from playing the game Quest for Glory 4, and, well, having the town named Barovia just gives me ideas. Now, I've played and ran Call of Cthulhu, which I'd say as a game can...

Someone named "agrannimayu" or something... like... that... Had a little sheet that you could roll some d20's on, and it would give you an appearance, and a personality. The personality table was roll a d20, then roll another d20, to pick from a list of 400 adjectives. It was pretty...

This thread has been edited to put the list of monsters and their alternate fluff at the front of the thread. The original message still rests at the bottom of this post. (I'm not done yet. :)) Aboleth: A dire shark with four long tentacles that emerge from its mouth, and four open sores...

MerricB started a good thread about this topic, but this is an offshoot. I dislike the core classes such as Hexblade and Swashbuckler -- I like Eldritch Knights and Fighter/Rogues better, but, I'm wondering which niches haven't been filled with relatively fluffless classes? I'm considering this...

Myrime pulled herself out of trance slowly, feeling the presence of her family in her room. The room felt warm as she lazily opened her eyes, expecting her father, and she startled at the sight of her mother. Lossefalme, her mother, leaned in the entrance to Myrime's lean-to naked and...

Does your campaign allow magic item shops? If so, to what extent? I'm trying to phrase the poll as neutrally as possible. Feel free to chime in with your comments.

This seems to be a common concern on the boards lately -- the spiked chain in 3.5x. So. Do you allow it as is in 3.5x, or do you houserule the reach or the AoO on the standing up from the trip or some other method? I personally don't houserule it, but I've also personally only seen a single one...

This is just a little blurb of stuff I decided was the most important and fun from the way I designed my last campaign, where my defunct and short-lived story hour takes place. I'm curious as to whether it's marketable (thinking about selling a way to create a campaign in this fashion for next...

Ok. I was just flipping around in my angst looking at other people's angst, as that's what I do, until I realized that I could ask for advice here, although it isn't terribly normal. Note that my real question isn't about mechanics itself -- it's about what I should do, and if I can tell if...

Hey. I'll play anything, any system, any percentage of hack and slash and roleplay (I really enjoy both styles, and a mesh of both styles is great as well.) Hmm, the game I DM'd is barely in my sig, but that's how that went, I can DM homebrew or Greyhawk/Forgotten Realms/most White Wolf stuff...

My new storyhour is here: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=87490 There are no gods, the characters have amnesia, there is no sky except a void, there are no cities, the largest seen group of npcs together thus far is 4, nothing on the world is more than a CR or two higher than the...

Well, it’s time I tried my hand at a story hour. I’m just going to hop right into the story, if you’d like an explanation of the world and the rules, I’ll explain as I go along with footnotes. This takes places a few sessions into the campaigns, and I’ll go forward or back in time as I feel...

The Skirmish game was surprisingly entertaining. I bought four entry packs off of Amazon, popped them open and played a 50-point game with three friends. It was quick, easy, and fun. My half-orc fighter, half-orc assassin, and Ogre were sadly pounded into the ground. Darn elves. The command...

http://www.epilogue.net/cgi/database/art/view.pl?id=35514 I saw the title of the picture and wondered, then saw cat people, so... hey who knows! I didn't see it anywhere on monte's site either, so I figured I'd post it here, hope it isn't a crosspost.

Alright. This is going to sound a little wacky, and I guess it is, but, oh well. Ok. In a FR game I'm planning on running, a friend wants to play something a little different. We both threw some ideas around, and came up with an awakened dire badger sorceror/techsmith. (Eh, the story works...
