Hi folks, I am looking for some ideas on how to handle a fight between a group of epic PCs and twos god. And I mean the gods themselves, not merely avatars. I am thinking about something like the Titans vs. the Greek gods - with the PCs being the titans and two evil gods, well, the divine...

... seems to be a bit vague. Or I am thinking too much about it. :hmm: From the SRD: Some food for thought: Assume Forbiddance was cast by a chaotic evil cleric. So from the wording one could conclude that those with the Neutral alignment are not harmed. But that would contradict the...

Hi folks, just a quick question: what are the attack boni of a young adult silver dragon monk 7 that uses a flurry of blows? The dragon has 19 racial HD and 7 monk HD, STR 23, and is large. My basic calculations: 19 dragon HD = BAB +19 7 monk levels = BAB + 5, with flurry +4 instead STR 23 =...

Just in case that it has not yet found its way to ENWorld: A book about the history of role playing games is about to be released the 15th of April. It is a crowd funding project by a group of German rpg fans. The title is "Drachenväter - Die Geschichte des Rollenspiels und die Geburt der...

Hi all, for my epic campaign, I am searching spells of a certain topic: spells that have time as a theme. Well, some classics are: Time Stop Temporal Stasis Haste Slow But then? The campaign will involve some time travel beginning in 1382 or 1383 DR with "stops" at the times of High Netheril...

D&D 3.5 rules are alway good for a surprise, even after years of gaming... like the rule that a goblin NPC's CR is reduced by 2. Quote from the SRD 3.5: "Challenge Rating Goblins with levels in NPC classes have a CR equal to their character level -2." Why wondering? Well, last session our DM...

My epic campaign is currently quite dracocentric, and I wondered why a dragon with a sufficiently high caster level would not select Antimagic Field as one of his level 6 spells. Give a dragon this spell, and play him properly as a DM, i.e., according to the dragon's high intelligence score...

Last session, the monk (nun) 12/fighter 4/druid 8 (patron: Selune) decided to get voluntarily infected with lycanthropy by a weretiger to improve her chances in upcoming events. For me as DM, most changes of the PC stats are quite straight forward. HD increase as stated for the weretiger...

Hi folks, my group has just made their first adventure after starting with new PCs. I am playing a Rog 1/Clr 1 of Tymora which will take the PrC Fortune's Friend from Complete Scoundrel (after taking 2 more levels of Clr, 1 more level of Rog, and 1 level Ftr). So, levels 7 to 11 are "booked"...

Hi folks, I'm playing a monk/psion and look for a feat that allows to advance the monk even after taking levels as a psion. I know that there are similar feats for rogue/monk, paladin/monk,... but so far I didn't find it for monk/psion. Would be cool if such a feat is in one of the "Complete...

There it is: Giant In the Playground Games

"I chanced to hear that this formidable elucidated place may comprise knowledge that may help me to evolve my talents and understand barely touched inherent powers that burn inside my very young, despite powerful stellar body. As you surely noticed, I am a dragon, a race older and wiser than...

Hi, a short question: Can a caster detect an ongoing supernatural effect with Detect Magic? Is it somewhere in the PHB/DMG? Can't find it...

You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!! Hi everybody, I have some questions about strategy and tactics versus a group of 5 to 7 adventurers. A short background: The party owns a large house in the town of Two Stars in Thesk (Faerûn). After about four...

It is up: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0442.html Speaking of sylphs... ;)

PrCs are a quite nice way to add some special stuff to a PC. Some are nice, balanced, and offer good opportunities for role playing. Others are a DM's headache, and offer different ways for roll-playing... Example 1: The Eldritch Knight in combination with the feat Arcane Strike. The damage...

Ok, here's what happened in the session last night: The party is hunting some giants in very cold arctic environement. During daytime, temperatures are at roughly -30 to -40 °F (meaning, 1d6 points of cold damage per minute). During night, temperatures are at ca. -60 °F. Protected by Endure...

The Sades is a group of epic-level adventurers which are mainly active in and around Tethyr since 1358 DR. Only Alvin and Sigbert are founding members still alive. The PCs were build following AD&D rules, using a 82-point-buy method. The Sades is an abbrevation of the initials of the party...

Hi all, I've created a new monster for my homebrew campaign. It has already challenged the party, but I'm unsure about the CR. And perhaps there are some general ideas to improve it. Zaleasar (Large animal) CR 9 ? HD: 15d8+45 (113 hp) Init: +10 Spd: 70 ft., burrow 10 ft., climb 20 ft. AC: 25...

Faerûn spell Mystra's Miasma - can someone clarify that? Hi all, recently, one of the party wizards got the spell Mystra's Miasma (description in Player's Guide to Faerûn). It is a level 9 spell that simulates a Solid Fog plus: "...any spell caster in the fog gets a -4 penalty on caster level...
