In the Sandstorm book in the monster section there are entries for the Marruspawn, and race of jackal-like people created by a race of people known as the Marru to be used and weapons/troops in their war with the Sual empire. I have tried using both wikipedea and google but still can't seem to...

Ok, we've been playing 'Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk' recently and are coming toward the end of the adventure. We intend to continue with the same characters and I am developing a plot line that could very well involve either the obelisk under the tower of magic or the Earth Stone or...

I have looked through the source material and can see nothing that would prevent a spell caster from using a wand/staff that holds a higher level that he could normally cast. For example, a wizard who can cast up to 3rd level spells should be able to use a wand/staff that casts 4th level spells...

NOTE: I am using 3.5 edition According to the Monster Manual all Tanar'ri can summon other Tanar'ri, but it doesn’t mention anything about duration. So here's the question: If no duration is given, is it safe to assume that it has no duration? If there is no duration, then couldn't the...

Here is an interesting question that has come up in one of the games I run. “If a character is paralyzed and cannot use her legs, would polymorphing into another creature ,even if it is another bipedal creature, enable the character to walk?” The proposal was that if polymorph changes the...

I plan on starting a game that centers around a tribe of Ibixian (or Goatfolk as they are called in the Monster manual) But the Monster manual really doesn’t have much on them in the entry. Now I know that as a DM I can come up with anything, but still I wanted to keep the race more or less...

This is one of those things that the monster manual doesn't cover about vampires, and that is dismemberment. The book states that vampires have fast healing, but NOT regeneration. So logically a vampire could potentially loose an arm or leg that he or she could not get back. I've had...

Ok, this came up during the game I am running... and it turned into a mild heated debate. So here it is... What happens to a familiar AFTER the wizard's/sorcerer's death? The player who brought up this question had just got his wizard killed, and he wanted to play his familiar until the...

I have heard it ruled by other DMs that a ring of sustenance could relieve an undead of the need to eat/feed. I.E. Vampires, ghouls, or any other corporeal undead that need to feed on the living. (I would exclude incorporeal undead and any undead that “live” off of energy drain or “life force”)...

Here's the situation that has come up in one of my sessions where I am a DM. One of the PCs, a female paladin, by bad luck and poor choices ended up as a prosinor and slave to a horned devil in the lawful evil plane of Baator. And the question of how far does a paladins lawfulness goes came...

In the 3.5 Monster Manual here are creatures (lion, tiger, etc...) that get rake attacks. It states that a Dire Lion can pounce, I quote, "If a dire lion charges, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks." For Improved Grab it states that is can start a grapple with out AOO when...

In my group I am most often the DM, and in preparation for my latest campaign I had a player come to me with an unusual character request. She (yes I said she) want to play a male character that is curse with a "Ramna 1/2" type curse. For those who don't know Ramna 1/2 is an anime in which the...

Ok, I think that most D&D players have heard about the misinformed christian views on D&D as a whole. But this has to be the worst thing I have EVER heard. I never new that it was quite this bad... but apparently, according to some christians, D&D is the gateway into satanism and is a cult...

Ok, I tried to ask for ideas before and got no responces... so I'll try one more time. I am requesting ideas for magic masks so I can fill up a merchants invantory with interesting masks for the characters to buy. The basics of masks as I have ruled them is that they encompass (more or less)...

I have a character who LOVES to have her character tormented... she love the roleplaying aspect of her character getting into terrible situations whether by bad choices or by misfortune. But I alway ask my self, how far is TOO far. Her characters have ended up in some pretty BAD situations...

Ok... every once an a while I put something a little funny or strangly familiar into my games. (the two bards in the town square who were braging about how they defeated a powerful demon with an incredably grand song which they can't seem to remember the way it goes is one of my past favorets.)...

I am running an game where one of the characters is a big time 'player". He is all about the women and getts "hooked" up as often as he can. He also has the charisma to charm most women, he has already bedded down with 2 bar maids, a youge an gullable druisess, a farmers daughter, and the...

Here's a question that came up when we started playing the Red Hand of DOOM adventure. In this adventure many of the enemies, primarily the leading villains (i.e. leaders and bosses) are suppose to flee if reduced to a certain amount of HP. If they do get away do the players get EX for...

Ok, here is my first new class I have ever made. I am personaly pleased with it and want to share it with others. All I would ask it that credit be given where it is due. (not that one can trust everyone out there, just let your consious be your guide. If you don't have one... the SHAME on...

By the book, any character that falls into stix water must make a reflex save (DC 20) or lose all past memories. That's pretty simple, right? However, the loss of memory brings up a few questions in my mind. If a character loses all past memories, that would logically include any fighting...
