I hope this does not violate any copyright protocal, but after downloading a fun little side adventure from wizards.com, I found myself in need of a sketch. The side adventure contains a new monster called a calzone golem (see full stats and description below). I wrote up a nice description...

A wizard casts the grease spell under the feet of a monk enemy. According to the spell the monk immediately makes a reflex saving throw against the wizards 1st level spell DC. If he fails, he immediately falls prone. If he succeeds, nothing further happens at this time. O.K. here is the...

According to the rules, if a character has a strength of 0, he/she will simply lie helpless. However, other than the table for carrying capacity and the obvious stats for ability modifiers, what happens to a PC with strength 1? I ask based upon the ray of enfeeblement spell that caused a...

So tonight my wizard ended up grappled and basically useless. I know I can not cast spells when grappled, so what is a wizard to do? How can my wizard either avoid being grappled or get out of a grapple (of a monk in tonights case)?

O.K. - Here is the set up on the battle map. B=blank square F=Fighter with spiked chain (10' reach) X=PC Y=PC BBBBBBB BBXYFBB BBBBBBB Last night our DM ruled that his fighter(F) [with a spiked chain] could attack PC(X), eventhough there was PC(Y) directly in between them. Is this correct...

One of my Pc's has become very interested in creating and usig scrolls. As a responsible DM I read up on the process of both creating and activating them. While doing so, I read the following passage from the DMG (page 202) that discusses a character using a scroll that is scribed at a higher...

The following link will give you an idea of my garage (ie - "The Dungeon"). I was rather proud of this as it really sets the mood and keeps my players interested and in character. http://www.members.cox.net/buchw001/picpage1.html The pics are a little BIG right now, so be patient. Ideas and...

If a character has a light load, but is wearing a chain shirt and a buckler the total check penalty is simply 2(armor)+1(shield)=3. The PHB states "If you are wearing armor, use the worse figure (from armor or from weight) for each category. Do not stack the penalties." If the character...

To use the Craft skill and create an item, I must know the total price in order to pay 1/3 of this for the raw materials. Then the DM sets the DC and I roll...Blah Blah Blah What I need is the cost of a small (one-horse powered) grain milling device. Essentially a pole attached to a horse...

We have had characters die before, but they were either brought back to life (Higher level so OK for both DM and players), or died valiantly (Lower level and for specific reasons no raise possible) in the final battle and will never be forgotten by other PC's (OK for both again). How would you...

So the PHB is slightly confusing in its wording here. (page 54) A wizard begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard spells, plus three 1st-level spells of the player's choice. For each point of Intelligence bonus the wizard has, the spell book holds one additional 1st-level...

O.K. My DM put our party up against some nasty NPCs last night. After an almost deadly battle, my rogue ended up with a magical scimitar. What I would like is for my rogue to wield the scimitar, but I really hate the -4 penalty for not being proficient with the weapon. Any suggestions on how...

The PHB (page 47) says that a rogue can make a sneak attack unarmed (or with a sap) that deals subdual damage instead of normal damage. My question is under what circumstances? Does the foe have to be denied DEX? If the attack is successful, how much damage? Is it 1d3 normal, or multiple...

1 - The PHB (page 64) says that you may retry this freely if the bluff check fails against the sense motive check, but what if it succeeds? Can this be used more than once on the same foe in the same combat, or is he aware of the trickery after the first successful hit? The once bitten twice...

OK Here goes! I’m looking for a link or at least some ideas for puzzles my players can solve to earn rewards. They are a very quick and intelligent bunch that really enjoys this part of the game. I have given many one-word-solution riddles, so I’m hoping for something a little more complex /...

The druid IMC is currently searching for a second animal companion. He is giong to be 3rd level and already has a wolf befriended (quite an excellent animal companion in this game). The party is currently traveling in the Wood of Sharp Teeth (the PC's home region) in the world of Faerun...

Just a rookie question from a new 3ed player. Can the spell detect magic reveal the qualities of a magical weapon (say a +2 long sword) even if the spell that crated the magical enhancement to the weapon was cast long ago. The spell states that the "arua" lingers at most 6 days. Our DM wants...
