Got a PC who suggested the idea of a gnome PC, riding around in a cart pulled by a pair of riding dogs. Thought it was an cool idea and a nice visual, so said 'yes'. Then, he sent me this email: "What're the rules for charging a cart into someone, and what happens when I inevitable ask to put...

The arms dealer in question would come from an organisation with access to a lot of spellcasters of varying types. Items in question would be the kind of things you'd sell to an army. Don't require a caster to use, but bring some magical effects to the battlefield. Anyone got any sources for...

Hi there guys! I'll start by saying this post has major Red Hand of Doom spoilers in it, so don't read if you're going to be playing that module. All gone now? :uhoh: That includes you, Mr Eccles! Right, now they're gone, I'm intending to run the Sons of Grumsh, leading into The Red...

I was considering running The Red Hand of Doom module. However, I'm likely to have 6-7 PCs. Enough extra that I feel I might need to beef up some aspects of it: Treasure will need to be increased in proportion to the number of PCs. For encounters with large numbers of creatures, I'll keep the...

I was curious again: How accessible to PCs are the attributes of NPCs? Some things I'd consider as attributes - by no means an inclusive list: HP totals, elemental resistances, saves, damage reduction, AC, spell resistance. Some broad generalisations when fighting A.N.Other.Monster...

Another thread got me thinking about this: So a character has died in a game that's already underway, what do you do now? I've seen a fair range. Depending on the game and GM, IME new characters generally fall into the range: Same level as old one through to a level below party minimum...

Considering a feat for a game I'm about to run. Feat: Armoured Casting Prequisite: None. Benefit: You do not risk Arcane Spell failure from any armour or shield. However, any spell which would normally incur spell failure chance instead applies the ACP (armour check penalty) as a penalty to...

Hello out there! :) Wondering if someone can set me straight on these things: Firstly, does a ranged attack spell, with an attack roll required (such as a ray or orb), class as a weapon for the Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot feats? In other words, does it benefit from them? If the answer...

Igmut is a half orc. He was raised in a quaint tribal village in the badlands. By orcs of the Spineripper clan. Despite not being a runt, he never quite fit into orc society. He enjoyed the combative aspects of tribal life, but found the slaughter distasteful. At the tender age of 12, a voice in...

Got a couple of non Phb feats I'd be interested in... like to get a thumbs up or down on them: Improved Toughness (Complete Warrior) Prequisites: Base fort save 2+ Effect: Gain hp equal to you HD. Domain Spontaneity (Complete Divine) Prequisites: Ability to turn or rebuke undead. Effect: Spend...

Figured it's time to ask! As we know: It is very evil to kill a surrendered person. Covered that satisfactorily last week. Now, on to part 2: Exactly how evil is necromancy? Figure the attacking/cursing spells are just like any other magic, but what about raising the dead? Does it make any...

Just had a read of everything and from the look of it, we're some local guys who have decided to cut in ahead of the fancy new adventuring party and explore the abandoned mine?

Hello! I was wondering if there were any quick methods to test the elemental resistances of targets... short of throwing a spell of each element at them and seeing what hurts? Ideally I'd want some kind of 'litmus test' spell - might not do much/any damage, but would give me some answers! How...

Been having a think about the Arcane Reach High Arcana. First question - what arcane offensive spells are touch range? Having a look I got: Chill touch Ghoul touch Vampiric touch Irresistable dance All from the PHB. Missing any? Anything good in the core splat books? Can you use the arcana...

Players stay out! That means you Darminicus and (possibly) Eccles! Right. I'm plotting a new campaign arc. The main focus is an ancient evil thing buried under a large city. It was imprisoned thousands of years ago, not long after the dawn of human history. There are two groups...

Wondering about multiple miss chances. For example, a target is displaced and incorporeal - what happens when someone tries to hit them. If the same target is also mirror imaged what happens if someone strikes at a figment? Anyone know?

Davion is unwise. For starters, he volunteered to go on some damn fool planar quest - to save the universe or some such thing. So far, it involves psycotic gith, dragons, liches, demon armies, slaadi gangsters, death knights, inquisitors, Orcus and pie. He was along more to poke around the...

Here they are: Or My sorceror needs better ways to ruin the oppositions day. Nice crippling spell like one of these 2 could be just the thing... On the one hand, the Dance is great because you can beat the victim viciously while they caper... but it's only living targets and you need to...

Got a possible hankering to run a superhero game. Wondering what's out there and any good? D20 or not, it doesn't really matter! However, the less books needed the better. :)

In the game I'm playing in, we have acquired a new friend... A friendly Mind Flayer. Called Glass. We'd originally contacted him to buy some information and he agreed to show us to the place we needed to go. During all this, his home city was destroyed... rendering him homeless. That's pretty...
