    The old LG vs CN problem….

    The old LG vs CN problem…. Folks, the last session ended on a bitter note, and I'm hoping there's a workaround. Half the party is lawful good, half chaotic neutral. To avoid a fight, and keep things calm, the LG Cleri offered a band of five evil brigands, who had clearly just done some...

    Dear All, For the next super adventure, it's a toss up between City of Brass and Necropolis. a) looking through the 3.0 Necropolis it is unclear to me what I'd have to do, ie., how much work is involved to play it as 3.5. If a lot, I won't do it. But what, in general are the...

    An epic superadventure in the 13-14th level range?

    Dear Colleagues, My group is slowly moving into 13th level, and we've very much enjoyed the epic level mission/adventures. Red Hand of Doom was the best time I've ever had playing D&D. Expedition to the Demonweb Pits also worked well (not AS good, but fun and epic feeling). Now, in all my...

    Ancient Question: How to handle surrendering monsters....

    I'm sure there are good threads on this, so please just direct me if I'm wasting all of your time on a tired subject. The group has just largely cleared a Frost Giant stronghold. There are five heavily wounded giants left who watched this powerful party waste everything in front of them, and...

    Tumble from Prone...and old question, yet rarely discussed?

    When you are fighting giants, your characters quickly end up on the ground. (improved Overrun, etc) Standing up from prone in such a high AoO environment (10' reach) is bad...real bad. So, I found a couple of enworld threads from 2004 in which no solid conclusion is gained re: can you tumble...

    Figuring out BAB for classed monsters

    I'm missing a rule somewhere and need help. A 5th level Cleric Frost Giant has 3 attacks in a full round with his axe. BAB for a frost giant is +10, so they normally get two attacks per round. 5 levels of cleric is BAB +3. How is it that the Cleric Frost Giant gets three attacks? Isn't his...

    Drunk demons?

    Sure, undead tend not to sleep and I can only imagine, don't get drunk. I'm currently running an adventure that has a large group of constantly cavorting demons and undead. PCs would like to do some assassinating. Do demons get drunk? Do they sleep? (I know, it's whatever I want, but just...

    Scent physics

    I understand the upwind/downwind business with scent, yes. but what about doors? Dungeon doors, I read long ago, are rarely perfect seals. But should one maybe halve the distance of scent through one? thanks!

    Barbazu teleportation? Ptolus mistake?

    Just want to confirm that bearded devils cannot teleport. In Cook's Ptolus, in the dungeons of the Dark Reliquary, Monte states that DM's shouldn't worry about Barbazu guards and locked doors, as they would just teleport around the dungeons, in and out of rooms. But my MM 3.5 does not give...

    Abundant Step, with passengers?

    Since Abundant Step functions like Dimension door, at the equivalent level of 6 for a 12th level monk, can a monk bring two medium characters along for the ride?

    magic items, effects, spells, and who exactly can use them?

    Dear Sirs and Madams, Just to make sure I've got this right. Wands and Rods, with spells. Only PCs who have the spells on their spell lists can use them. My Wizard cannot use the wand of protection from evil from my dead cleric? Rings: despite having no spell-like ability, a rogue can whisper...

    Bodak Death...raise ok?

    A Bodak just death gazed our cleric...and he rolled a 1. I assume that if we get him to a temple in a few hours, and have him 'raised' to life, that takes care of the returning as a Bodak in 24 hrs problem? thanks

    SR and Web

    My group has found Web to be a great spell for quick escapes. But now they're running into more and more creatures with SR. If Web is cast, centred on a creature with SR, and the Caster Check fails, is it still the case that the creature is surrounded by lots of sticky webs and will still have...

    Flyby, liftoff?

    Dear Reader, I'd like to do a fun sneak attack on the adventuring party, but don't think it'll work. Currently, a Nycaloth is shadowing the group, and wants to kidnap a member. Looking over his stats, it seemed clear that (in a city setting, in the street as the party moved about), he would...

    If you fire a demonbane weapon at a chaotic evil outsider, yes you do extra damage, but do you get past its DR 10/Good?
