Hello, I have a new character, a human fighter from Damara, whom I've given the Jotunbrud feat (Races of Faerûn). I have some questions related to the feat as well as the Damaran society. The feat's description says: "You are descended from the giants who ruled the mountain-spanning empire of...

Imagine a prison in a fantasy world; a well-guarded complex with 50ft walls and the Black Gate from Two Tower's, opened by ogres (?) as well. Orcish guards, a high level aristocrat as warder (think Shawshank Redemption) – lawful evil in alignment – and a torture chamber for those who won't...

Hello! I don't know if this is supposed to be in the rules forum, but since it's not really rules questions I post it here. I'd need some comments on an area I've planned for the next session. It's for two 10th-level PCs, and I'm neither sure of whether it's balanced or good FR-wise. A church...

I know this kind of poll has been up before, but since I'm not (yet) a community supporter, I can't search. Anyway, my group is considering getting more people to join. So I'd like to know what number of players (including DM) you find being optimal for a good group. If you'd like to, please...

Greetings fellow D&D players! As an attempt of getting my group to play more often, (we have had about four sessions this year), we've decided that our DM will take a break with his campaign and I will shoot up a smallish sidetrek. While playing this sidetrek, the original DM will have less...

Hello! I'd like to know how something works in your group. Are the players allowed to play "cool" characters, or is these character concepts for NPCs only, limiting the players to play "common" characters. Cool characters (don't take the word too serious) means unusual ones, like a minotaur...

Hello! I was wondering something. In any group, not only roleplaying, there usually is someone who finds it hard to take whatever he's doing seriously. In roleplaying groups, this guy may tend to come off-track easy and pop out irrelevant jokes and stuff. As a DM, and indeedly also as a player...

Hi there. I'm in quite a dilemma. I yearn for DMing - every moment of role-playing, or doing anything related to it, makes my hunger increase thoroughly. I feel I'm coming out of my hollow period of dungeon mastering I've been stuck in, however at a limited level: I would like to DM during the...

Hello! We have a little problem in our group that we can't play for too long at a time. Our meetings usually lasts but seven hours or so, and hearing out from others who plays long-nights and all that, you get a little disappointed at yourself. The reason of the short sessions is because of...

Hello! I was wondering something. Let's say Dolph the STR 18 fighter hits Mårten the Slight Guy with a BMI of 12, with his Greatsword with a horizontal swing. Does Mårten stand still in the same 5-by-5 feet square, or will he fall/move to another square? If nothing happens, what makes this...

Hello! I read somewhere on Internet the other day that Loviatar is Ilmater's sister, and their parents are Chauntea and Malar? :confused: Is this information correct? If so, where is it originally stated? Thanks!

Hello! We've got a problem in our group, which I was thinking of asking for help to solve from you experienced gurus out there. :) I'd guess it's a rather common problem - well, here goes... In situations where all the characters are involved all at the same time, in the same degree, such as...

The Philosophy of Religion in D&D/Faerûn Hello! I've always wondered about how a thing works in Forgotten Realms, and I thought I can get some answers here. As you read the FRCS book, you get the picture that all people in Faerûn are religious and polytheistic. All people seem to have it...

Hello! I'm having a hard time figuring out what the stereotype paladin of Ilmater is like. Please, tell me what you think on these points: 1) Combat - How would the stereotype act in combat? Is he offensive? Defensive? 2) Party member - How does he work in a party? What's his role? 3) Diety...

Hello! I've advanced through my dwarven fighter career into playing a human paladin, for once sake. ;) And since I'm quite new on this class I'd like some resources (free, internet) with information and, well, "stuff". This includes the old paladins in the real world, of course. Thoughts on...

Hello everyone! I've been thinking on how to deal with in-character conversations in a good way to enhance role-playing, atmosphere and boredom (getting rid of, that is). So I have some questions for you. How do you, in your game, handle in-character conversations... 1) ...when the DM tells...

Hi, I'm looking for a Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil-story hour, easy for newbie-DMs to read and understand, meaning it's low on big changes and such. Edit: I'd prefer a complete story hour. Any idea? Thanks.

Hello! I'm looking for a good, informative homepage about dwarves (compatible with D&D/FR). Anyone got an idea? Thanks.

Hello! I'm working on a new character and I'd need some suggestions/opinions on some combos and ideas. The character is a dwarven fighter (starting at 1st level). He's going to be physically strong, meaning high strength, as well as being dexterous. He'll be fighting with two tomahawks...

Hi there, I'm a little curious in which level you (meaning your gaming group) roleplay? Some examples/yes-or-no's might be: Having loads of in-game interactions with N/PCs. Having lots of roleplayable plots (including character-specific ones). Having a good co-operation between PCs (and...
