I'm seeing this warning all over the place in the forums. In the D&D forum, these are all showing it to me: Idea for D&DBeyondHow many elves are too many elves?Survivor Subclasses (Non-Magic)- THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! That's barely the start. Many threads are doing that to me here too. Is...

Just a question for those of you who are using the 4E style 'Skill Challenges' to spice up your games. I didn't see much discussion about this in Google, so I'm wondering if anyone else can weigh in. Assuming you do the Matt Colville approach: The party must succeed at (X, Y, or Z) skill...

Over the past several months the site has gotten unbearably slow here in Sweden. Right now, it's 12-15 seconds to load a page. An hour or so ago, a post of mine was 'eaten' by a 'Bad Gateway' error, where I got a blank page, and when I went back to try to retrieve my post, it was gone. In the...

This is a character I'm currently playing, and as a mental exercise, I'm seeing what it would look like if I did a bit of multiclassing, and we made it to level 20. The concept: A primary caster, from a culture that values independence and self-sufficiency above all. He's so intent on that...

Wood Elf Druid Circle of the Land Outlander background 2nd level 16 Dex The character concept is he's from a clan that values self-sufficiency and secrecy. He's also hunting undead in our campaign, they are overrunning his homeland. I'd like to make him sufficiently stealthy without magic, so I...

I want to run a short adventure with my group and do something completely different... We've done very 'normal' campaigns - now I want to go hog wild. So... Evil Monsters as PCs. Here's what I plan: Books: Core (DMG,PH,MM,MM2) + Complete series Start them about 15th level Half-Whatever...

My favorite munchkin is playing a wizard. He's got permanent Arcane Sight. I'm having problems with it, as it seems way, way too good the way I'm reading it. I don't want to nerf the character unnecessarily, so... could I get some opinions here? Does Arcane Sight automatically allow you to see...

If players take refuge in Mord's Mansion for the night in an area that could be searched by magical means, just how vulnerable are they? A lot is unsaid in the spell description, and I want to check my thinking here. Is it detectable in any way? i.e. does Arcane Sight see an aura where the...

I'm creating an encounter for my group that's a bit more complex than I'm used to and want a double-check on my numbers. It's a trio of template vampires - 12th lvl Spellstitched (+1CR) Vampires (+2CR), for CR15 each. This equates to an ECL 18 fight. So, according to the chart on DMG p. 51...

I'm a new DM, running a high-level game. (Yeah, I know, but I'm a glutton for punishment.) I'd like some advice on how to balance encounters. It's a party of five characters (Level 14) and one cohort (Level 11) built for a one-shot. Core and Forgotten Realms books. 32-point buy. ~120,000gp in...

It's odd that characters are so darn hard to kill at lower levels (their negative HP are either close to or 2.5 times greater than their real HP, facing attacks doing d4-d8 damage) but incredibly fragile at higher ones (negative HP a fraction of their real HP, fighting monsters doing 2-4x that...

MAJOR SPOILERS of 'Return to the Tomb of Horrors' specifics below.... The setup: I'm a new-to-3.5E DM running a one-shot through the 'Return to the Tomb of Horrors'. My group built 14th-level characters just for this adventure. I've told them the ToH is "the most fun they'll ever have seeing...
