Hello, looking for feedback on a house rule I'm in the early stages of revising. Right now, I've gotten mixed player feedback, so I'm looking for outside opinions. I've listed my objectives below. If you think the house rule fails to accomplish any of those, or have a recommendation about a...

Does this work? A character is immobilized. He readies an action to move when he is no longer immobilized. His turn ends, he saves and loses immobilized, then moves. A character is weakened. He readies an action to attack an adjacent target when he is no longer weakened. His turn ends, he...

The Residuum Must Flow (A points of light setting) Concept So I was thinking of the points of light concept, and I realized that one of the most influential novels of my childhood, Dune, was a perfect example of a points of light setting. As seemingly boundless as the Empire in this novel may...

Alrighty, so I take a CR 5 aberration, advance it to CR 7 with extra hd, and then decide to give it non associated levels. I give it 14 of these levels. It is now CR 14; equal to a elf, human, etc who I could have given 14 class levels of any type. This... This confuses me. Unless I've...

Hi, quick question. Level 10 human is reincarnated as a dwarf. What happens to the human bonus feat and skill points?

My players- hi. Read if you want. Scenario: The party assembles in Thronehold, and one player learns that the Throne of Galifar currently waits to seated by "the true king." This character's backstory is that he is a son of a vampire count of lost Cyre, his home shattered by the Cataclysm...

Help! When a pc gains a template, what happens to their XP total? Specific situation: Wizard gets a phylactery and jumps up from 12 to 16 when he becomes a lich. Does the wizard 's xp shoot up with the template or is his total static?

Quick preface: I'm running an APL 13 Eberron game with 5 players, which is leading to some really drawn out, complex fights. I'm looking for a houserule to streamline play a little bit, and would like thoughts on how this could be detrimental mechanically, and if that would outweigh the...

Specifically, why it's a +1 and not say, a +2. +1d6 to casters and anything that has spell-likes? That's a whole lot of most aberrations, demons, devils, celestials, and things that have a CR above 6.

Couple quick Questions: 1) Are Warforged slam attacks modified by Mithril Skin or Adamantine Body? 2) Can a Warforged theoretically rip off a limb of its own, or use the limb of a fallen Warforged with Adamantine Body and use this as an improvised weapon, say a club, to bypass hardness /...

Did anyone else miss this computer game? Has anyone tried it and can give a review? http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/d2/1.htm Lookie look- 71 page item manual, 88 page spellbook, monsters, armies, cities, total war style map... boy oh boy, it seems too good to be true.

For a few years while I was playing DND, I came to the startling realization that despite the many names, faces, and histories of my characters, they were all basically me. They were cautious because I was cautious. They had goals that I favored and, in some respects, reflected goals that I...

Watching RotK got me to thinking that I definitely don't describe my world well enough. Usually my players are in a forest and see... trees and bushes. Or they're in mountains and see the path they are and maybe the valley below them. The sweeping vistas of RotK (especially the lovely view...

As a DM, how do you (or a hypothetical how Would you) handle evil PCs? Beyond putting a "no evil" stamp on the campaign that is... I'm looking for advice on making plots and stories and issues for evil characters, and just dealing in general with characters who have little problem dealing with...

I'm certain the idea of the paladin as a PRC is nothing new, but figured i'd post my classes for suggestions and thoughts. In my campaign, I've chucked the Paladin into a 10 level PRC that isn't easy to get into, and made a Knight class to keep the core classes level. Advanced apologies for my...

Does the protective aura of a celestial eminate as per magic circle from a specific point made by the celestial or does it always center on the celestial? Or.. does it simply function as the benefits of the magic circle and lesser globe without actually being these globes? yeargh!

If you have the time, please scan this home brew race for a home brew campaign. Please, if you may wish to, offer up any aid you can to making it nice and balanced. Please do not, however, offer up any totally revamped construct races or "correct, my personal versions" to be used in place of...

Could anyone point out a saving grace or three for this prestige class out of Manual of the Planes? I love the character type it presents- an especially picked person who acts as a hand of god, recieving visions and instructions that may or may not be understood but always followed due to...

No doubt an old question but well, any quick answers would be most appreciated. How exactly do the magics of a bow and arrow stack in terms of hitting, damage and DR? Does a +2 bow allow standard arrows to penetrate DR 10 / +2, or does the bow simply grant +2 to the attack roll and damage of...

More specifically, his clergy, dogma, etc. I own Deities and Demigods, but was curious if there are any modules, Dungeon/Dragon publications, or other WotC releases that go into greater detail in regards to the methods and practices of St. Cuthbert's priests and clerics. If there are any...
