So it's come time for the sort-of-frequent block party on my block (not annual, but at least once every 3 years or so). And I feel a bit awkward. I'm 17, and the guests I am personally inviting are all aged 17-22, which puts us in an awkward position because of our age... We're not kiddies, but...

I was brainstorming about random stuff last night, pawing through Magic cards mindlessly, and writing down random things in a notebook. So my train of thought crashed and I pulled out these two spells.... Tranquil Sleep Enchantment (Compulsion) Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 3 Components: S, F Casting...

(Some of you regulars (read as: long-time ENBoarders) may have read a few postings I made on these very boards about 1 year ago regarding my campaign.... Well, now I'm a player with some of the same issues I had as a DM. Read on...) I am currently in a campaign with a few of my friends. I am...

I have a question regarding how DR works when dealing with subdual damage. Can I please get rulings on the Situation 1: Fred the Fighter smacks a Random Evil Creature (tm) with DR 10/+1. Since Bob is striking with his bare fists, this is subdual damage. Does the creature shrug off the damage...

In your experience as a player, DM, or obsessive die-roller, which dice are the most easily biased, whether by weighting or just by use? I'm curious, because my dice have been acting strangely... ~Chris

NOTE: The following is NOT to be taken too lightly. This is a serious problem and I would like to address it in the same manner as the founders of Bothered About Disposable Dragons did. Yes, all of us DMs have done it at one time or another. We've given out too much stuff, or we've fudged the...

I'm a DM who is looking for a break from his game full of hack'n'slash geniuses. (It may sound like an oxymoron, but if you were in my shoes it would be a nightmare.) I am looking for a D&D 3e game played over IRC, with a good plot and intriguing roleplay but a fair amount of combat. I am a...

This is a subject I brought up here about a month or two ago and am doing so again to get more responses and to help all the DMs out there who might need this information. (Me being ne of them. :D ) A big problem I've hit on in D&D is describing combat. Not the kind where you have two...

This is a semi-revival of an old thread, the name of which I have forgotten. Okay, so the PCs have found a treasure that is strange or is hard to describe with words alone. You're stumped. What do you do? I've been there way too many times. Does anyone have any suggestions for making props...

Okay, I'll give you a quick-and-dirty rundown. Party of six 6th level characters: human sorc, human cleric, human druid, human fighter, elven rogue, and dwarven monk/psion. I CANNOT touch them. I have not inflicted a *single* point of damage on them that has lasted more than a minute since...

I posted a message in the wrong spot. Sorry.

Black Angus walks into the arena registration area, posts a short message on the bulletin board, and makes a hasty exit, covering his entire body in his black cloak. The message reads: Black Angus challenges any new entrants into the world of martial arts. A willing challenger may post a...

Quick question: Do Reist Poison and Resist Disease, when taken multiple times, stack with themselves? This question arises when a player wants to take the feats multiple times (duh) and with the Animal Lord PrC- Snakelord requires that you take Resist Poison as a requirement but gives you it...

Forgive me for asking this question if I sound stupid, but I'm a fairly new DM and am soon going to be confronted with this issue. I mean, sure, everyone can imagine a combat between two human fighters, swinging their swords, or two Colossal dragons locked in a tight battle. But what happens if...

An interesting rules question arose over dinner at the gaming table tonight. Here's the way we decided to phrase it when asking others what they thought. Suppose Bob the 10th Level Fighter has Ambidexterity, Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, and Rapid Shot. (I forgot what leads...

Okay, another funny anecdote from the second-youngest ENBoarder, who just turned 14 on March 11th. You KNOW your DM needs a break when... He brings a full pot of coffee (or full case of soda) to the gaming table. He rolls on the treasure table, buries his face in his hands, and cries. He...

So I'm 13. I'm an 8th grade math student doing 10th grade honors math. I've just been hired by someone to tutor a 5th grade girl in basic math. I know this is an ambiguous thing, but for those who have done this before, I ask: How much do I charge? I mean, it's basic math (multiplication &...

I seem to have a little problem, or maybe it's my players, or even our surroundings for that matter that is the problem. The players just can't seem to stay focused, and it's really, really starting to hurt me and my feelings. Out of a 4 to 6 hour session, the time spent actually doing things...
