Why do you even bother having players? You can't dictate how they level, only when.

He posted at Palladium as "^Angel^", I let them know, as well as Wizards and Nifty.

GAIL eh'LAY-drin

When you kill drow, take their missile weapons. You'll probably lose the benefit of Weapon Focus, but you'd lose it anyway when you're out of arrows. And drow aren't immune to their own poison. (BXD says sleep poison=okay for Good characters.) Air walk (Clr4) on the toughest melee fighter...

As the premier defense attorney for paladins from the Wizards boards, I am compelled to post. There are three and only three ways a paladin may be stripped of her magic. 1. Ceasing to be lawful good. 2. Willful commission of an evil act. 3. Grossly violating the code of conduct. I will...

Pish tosh man, she's heard those words before! Also, you missed TARFU, an intermediate state. Situation Normal: All Fouled Up Things Are Really Fouled Up Fouled Up Beyond All Repair

I've played DC Heroes, FASERIP Marvel, Marvel SAGA, Mutants & Masterminds, GURPS Supers, and Heroes Unlimited. My favorite so far is Marvel SAGA. It's light on the rules and fast to play. The biggest drawback are that the artwork on the cards can spoil the mood if you aren't playing in the...

Wrong. Read the MM entry for lammasu and try again. ;)

B or C, for three reasons. 1. Detection may register false positives. (Although smite evil never will.) 2. Clerical magic isn't as specific as mine, and it's hard to tell if they've been corrupted. 3. I don't like playing that way. It's far more interesting to puzzle out who the bad...

Seems fine to me, but I wouldn't let a smite attempted be used up if she tries to smiting an invalid target.

Could the undead have been created in that room specifically because the door was too small for them to escape? If so, that would allow bigger monsters. Since neither Create undead nor polymorph any object are conjurations or divinations, it's a plausible occurance. I've always been leery of...

Cry Havoc does offer guidelines on how large a force a city can field. It's the only third-party book I own, and I'm very happy with it.

I think this is a terrible idea. There is no way I want to roll attacks for 104 monsters every round! A dozen enemies is the outer limit. Why not just have the trap transport them to a demiplane big enough for a couple of nightwalkers? "This is intended to be an encounter with an almost...

Exactly. A 1st level evil person dies when they pick up a holy sword. Is the sword wrong?

Combined with magic jar, 3.$ shapetjange makes you win. Let me see if I can remember Frank's order of operations.... Take over one of the BBEG's flunkies. Shapetjange into a phoenix. Use the immolate ability to inflict (20d6?) damage to everyone around. The flunky is dead, and his ashes...

I see them as the "multi-talented adventurer" class. Like Indiana Jones or James Bond.

If someone comes to my table wanting to play a paladin who graduated from the Ben Kenobi School of Honesty, I wouldn't have a problem with it. As long as what the paladin says is true, false conclusions drawn by the listeners is not a code violation. (As evidence, consider Alhandra in THE CITY...

:eek: I thought they were still 7 or so... 12 at most. Tempus fugit.

It's first mentioned in the beginning of chapter six. "In the temple of Pelor [NG] is an ancient tome.... [that handles background checks on new employees. Upon kissing the book,] Those who are evil in their hearts are blasted by holy power..." Wow, and I thought the old, "Don't call us...

Uh, what else is there to breathe? 315 looks far better than the 3.$ issues. Think I'll pick it up.
