Hello all and welcome to the new thread. If you are new to this story hour then I'd suggest going back to read the earlier adventures in the thread entitled The Realms of Enlightenment: The Grey Companions. This picks up without preamble where that thread leaves off and won't make a whole lot...

After the success of my one-shot all-dwarf game at my local game day, I've decided to try a similar formula for the next game day, this time with all elves. It'll be a 3.5 game. My character builds for the games are heavily influenced by Badaxe Games' Heroes of High Favor series, so it...

In my game, I've set up a strange cult/society of elves and nomads who have been forced to live and work together by a lawful beholder and his minions. Essentially, he's Charmed them into working together. The beholder is NOT evil (he's Lawful Neutral - emphasis on Lawful) and is honestly trying...

I never play spellcasters (well, almost never) but I'm toying with the idea of a Favored Soul/Battle Sorcerer (from UA, for those not familiar) for an upcoming one-shot adventure. Most WOTC books are on the table, and we're playing at 7th level. Can anyone offer me some pointers on implementing...

Okay. Here's the last of my multiclass Monk PrCs inspired by the Ascetic feats from Complete Adventurer. You can find the Monk/Rogue Shadowed Fist here, and the Monk/Ranger Stalking Fist here if you're inclined to seek them out. Along with the Enlightened Fist from Complete Arcane (and to a...

Okay, after posting my Monk/Rogue Ascetic feat-inspired Prestige Class over in this thread I decided to try my hand at the other two on my list: Monk/Ranger and Monk/Paladin. Below is my attempt at the former, inspired heavily by some of the class alternatives presented in Unearthed Arcana...

Bsed on the Half-dragon racial class presented in Races of the Dragon and the Half-troll template presented in the Fiend Folio, I worked up this little progression. Now to find a DM to let me play such a thing... Effective Ability Score Class Level Modifications Effects 1st...

After asking over in THIS THREAD about multi-class monks to fill the character niches created by the Ascetic series of feats in Complete Adventurer and discovering that there weren't necessarily any out there I took it upon myself to design one for the Ascetic Rogue. It's in the footsteps of...

In Complete Adventurer I've seen the Ascetic series of Monk feats (ascetic Mage and ascetic Rogue, for example) that allows multi-classing and continued some limited advancement of certain Monk class features. Furthermore, I've seen the Enlightened Fist Prestige Class in Complete Arcane which...

The set-up: Lava floe with several stepping stones leading to the McGuffin across the way. My players want to use Levitation to aid in making the necessary jumps. Stylistically, I like the idea, but rules-wise I'm having a hard time justifying it to myself. Both Jumping and moving vertically...

I'm looking for a miniature that I found about a year ago and now can't. It's a barbarian-type (which is easy enough to find) but it's comically out-of-proportion - meaning that he has a tiny little head and enormous muscles. Anyone seen this and know where I can find it?

I'm new to the miniatures board and to painting minis in general, but a Warhammer 40K enthusiast took it upon himself to turn me on to painting minis and it worked. I've thus far done one fig (for use as my D&D PC) and the results were decent enough that I want to do another. My current PC uses...

It may be that I'm just being dumb, but I can't seem to understand the prerequisite for the Survivor Prestige Class. The bit that has me stymied is the following: Highest base save bonus must be lower than character level. How is this possible? I realize that it's possible to have a save bonus...

Are there rules for this somewhere? My players want to harvest Monstrous Spider venom and I'm at a loss. My first inclination is to just use a Heal check to find and extract the venom sacks, but I'm really just guessing. Any help would be appreciated.

How do you guys go about converting an AD&D adventure for use with d20? The basis for starting my campaign was several higher-level AD&D adventures that inspired me. As my group creeps toward the proper level using the current system, I find myself staring at the seemingly-daunting task of...

Picked up and love the new Unearthed Arcana! I want to immediately start using the Bloodlines option in my campaign, but my players are balking at the idea of taking "phantom levels". I considered applying an experience point penalty instead - an option that they find much more palatable. I'm...

My players are unfamiliar with the finer points of 3E rules and don't feel like they're necessarily getting the most from their characters. In particular, Finian Talteppe the Ranger 4/Rogue 1 wants help from any willing EN Worlders. If anyone's interested in offering an opinion on what he can...

There are some pretty nasty rules for getting caught in an avalanche or landslide, but no rulings that I can find on extricating someone who's been pinned. I combed the DMG and even went back to my old edition "Dungeoneer's Survival Guide" but couldn't find any reference to digging someone out...

Question- When a Prestige Class has the requirement: "Able to cast 2nd level spells", does a creature meet the requirements if they have the Spell-like Ability to cast 2nd level spells or do they actually have to have the requisite clerical levels. Example- As DM, I've got a Half-Fiend/Half-Orc...

Okay, recently my PBEM game made the switch to 3E (finally). I've decided to post the group's adventures here for the possible enjoyment of others. I've got 15 sections that I will post, bringing the game up to date. After that, the updates will settle into a once-a-week schedule. The first nine...
