In preparation for the Savage Tide campaign, I'm utilizing "Torrents of Dread" from Dungeon 114. One of the possibilities in the Concluding the Adventure section talks about the village of Mora needing a new Zombie Master and the PCs needing to visit a lich at the Fangs of Zotzilaha who trains...

I know this is a 5e forum, but please bear with me. One of the things I love about Paizo/Pathfinder are the fact they print their books in a "Pocket Edition." Has WotC done anything similar with their 3 core books? If not, is anyone aware if there is perhaps a plan afoot to do just that? Just...

After having owned the awesome Nyambe: African Adventures book for years I am finally going to get to put it to use as my campaign will finally be trekking to the lands of Nyambe-tanda. I've converted the classes to archetypes and would love to get critiques/improvements to make them better. If...

I know there was much concern with Monte Cook leaving d20 publishing behind. However, do not fear, Mr. Cook as been able to secure employment and seems to be doing very well. http://www.wbap.com/showdj.asp?DJID=6097 He's doing traffic reporting on WBAP (820 AM) in Dallas. Although, he looks...

Well, the day is drawing nigh, I am going to start my 15-year-old daughter and several of her friends on their initial foray into the world that is Dungeons and Dragons. For quite some time, my wife has not been too keen on the idea, and my daughter didn't seem interested. It was only as I was...

I'm asking this here, as opposed to The Game Mechanics boards, since I have a hunch EN World gets a bit more traffic. Anyway, I'm looking at using TGM's awesome city of Liberty as the starting point for a new campaign I'm working up for my daughter and a few of her friends. I am using the Core...

Is there a 3.5 equivalent to the old 2e Fool's Gold spell?

I know it says in the rules that when a creature polymoprhs, any items worn or carried are "absorbed" into the new form. I know, however, there are some items that stay in place when a character wildshapes. Are there items, or an item quality, that allows them to remain usable after a polymorph?

I am wracking my brain (and boy does that make a mess). I recall an adventure from way back in the 1st edition days of my youth. In one early scene, the party is talking to the local ruler in the great room of the manor/castle. Part of the description is how there are clerics in the background...

Seeing some of the threads over the past few years regarding the various APs and homebrew campaigns, I thought I'd share mine. It is a Forgotten Realms campaign where the party is hired to join a mighty Caravan traveling from Waterdeep to Kara-Tur and back (hence the name, "Caravan") starting...

My party will be very shortly going through "Steelheart" from Dungeon magazine. I am wondering if anyone has created the levels for a steel dragon (from Waterdeep: City of Splendors) like the chromatic and metallic dragons were done in past issues of Dragon magazine? Since the party managed to...

Greetings all, I come before the esteemed members of EN World in search of advice. My next game approaches and a couple of my players won't be able to attend. I need something to fill the gap as the next chapter in my campaign involves the hometown of one of my to-be-absent players (the burg...

This core class created by the esteemed Wolfgang Baur for Malhavoc's "Book of Roguish Luck" intrigues me greatly. Has anyone played one? How did it work? It just looks fun.

Inspired by the thread on Fox Familiars in the Rules Forum. I have played wizard characters over the (many) years I've played D&D. Some with familiars, some without. One feature I've never really done much with is the ubiquitous familiar. Who has played a wizard/sorcerer with a familiar that...

In the Rules forum I posted a question regrading a trap from Fantasy Flight's "Traps & Treachery." I was just curious if anyone had used some of the sinister ideas found in that tome or it's follow-up? If so, which ones and how did it go? I guess on a side note, what about "The Wurst of...

Is there a rule anywhere that states the effect on a PC should they lose an eye? I figure there may be some sort of penalty on some skills (Search, Spot). I ask as my PCs are going to possibly run afoul of the "Murderous Mask" trap in Fantasy Flight's "Traps & Treachery" in the not too distant...

Okay, I'm about to drive myself crazy. I remember a picture in one of my myriad D&D books (and I've got a few, just ask my wife :lol: ). It's an Egyptian-flavored image with a jackal-headed monster coming out of some heiroglypics. I think it is some sort of golem, but I'm not sure. Can someone...

I am considering utilizing Ghostwalk in my ongoing FR campaign, setting it in the insular nation of Ra-Khati. My question is on the mechanics of Ghostwalk? Who has played it? How did it go? Any pointers? A secondary area of concern is when the PCs leave Ra-Khati and the Manifest Zone as the...

In the not too distant future, my players are going to be going through "Steelheart" from Dungeon #53. I'm tyring to get all the 3.5 updates taken care of, and now with Dragons of Faerun having info on the steel dragon, I can finish. My question is, when a steel dragon does the polymorph thing...

Has anyone got a good 3.5 version of the godling Anguileusis from "Sea of Blood"?
