So, not just any way to keep combat interesting. Being a better GM would help. Enthralling the players would go really far and so would practicing your theatrical skills. But Situations. Everyone can come up with situations. Could be a complication or an event or some bizarre tactics. What...

I had some players doing "Caravan Duty" and ended up in a wagon chase. Two players fighting from cart to cart to the front and two others trying to catch up on another wagon. The players on the carts working their way up were fine with combat as is. Just using Powers and a LOT of skill checks...

Is all your damage except for extra crit damage maxed? Ex: Rogue backstabs for 1d8 (weapon) + 2d6 (sneak attack damage) = 20 damage? Ranger vs Quarry hits for 1d10 (longbow) + 1d6 (quary) = 16 damage?

We have: Elf Ranger (AC of like 23) Half Elf Warlock (AC 13) Tiefling Rogue (AC 15) Eladrin Wizard (AC 14) The ranger is Ranged. The rogue is mostly melee. The Wiz & War are both ranged. What it comes down to in a wide open area, the Ranger is off to the side shooting and everyone else...

I prefer actual D&D info, but might be able to get some 3rd party stuff by my GM. For the time being I'm using a Weasel animal for stats. They're the closest from what I can find to what a Ferret would be. Also stats on what a Familiar Ferret would give would be helpful as well. Also next...

huh, these forums don't have a search feature? Odd. I was checking out Immediate Actions (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsInCombat.htm#immediateActions) and how they relate to my wizardry spells. I get that I can use an Immediate Action when it's not my turn, but when? Just whenever I...

I was over on d20srd.org and it doesn't really say. Of course you can't learn spells from schools you're barred from learning. I don't see why not really. In many D&D video games you're allowed to attempt to learn a spell at any level, but even if you learn it, you can't cast it until you...

I got a gift certificate for my birthday and ordered it used from Barnes & Nobles. I'm really looking forward to this. I'm looking to run a futuristic game... probobly most similar to the Dark Angel TV show where the United States government collapsed (or have no real power at all) with...

I wanted a zombie of sorts... not quite like a Night of the Living Dead brainless zombie... maybe something similar to the Crow where I can still act like a human (not invincible or supernaturally enhanced per se), but I definately want to look dead and be undead. Well we're running in Eberron...

My group told me no when I tried. I don't see a reason why not (logically). I assumed I just hadn't seen the rule. I just checked d20SRD.org and I don't see any restrictions about charging diagonally, just a straight uninterupted line without difficult terrain or penalties

So far, the closest I can find is this one in Magic of Eberron where you slowly turn into a Warforged like cyborg. Even still I'm not even convinced that it's even a good (other than thematic) match with an Artificer. I might not even mind taking a bit more combative class later on, but I'd...

M&M used the damage save and had like a side bar for using HP. Heck, from what my friend told me (I havn't touched M&M) it had sidebars and optional rules for many things. It was a toolkit book that made it suitable for many things. He got M&M2e yesterday and kept complaining that they...

Or can you mix it up? If you had time could you do 12 hours in a 24 hour period (1.5 days of work)? If something came up could you do 2, 4 or 6 hours in a 24 hour period and just work more days? Or does only 8 hours in a day count and if something comes up the days work is wasted?

So far in this game we've been playing in for 3 sessions, we had just hit level 2. At level 1 our Rogue with 4 ranks of Open Lock... something like +6 to +8, taking 20 and he couldn't open up a lock on an orphanage. At level 2 the rogue goes to pick the lock on a chest and it's basically...

Ok, I didn't want to crap on that other thread talking about the craft skill so I brought the discussion over here to talk about it. Are you talking about making skills like Climb & Swim dependant on body type? Or are you talking about having an actual "Walk" skill and "Flight" skill? I'm...

2nd level human Artificer and I've got a -2 Misc Mod to Craft & Disable Devices and a +2 Misc Mod to Spellcraft. These arn't Ability Score Modifiers and I have no clue where the penalties are comming from. It doesn't make sense to me unless I'm missing some rule somewere that I havn't known...

I want to build a set of fantasy appropriate characters including types from SC2.0. I'd say to just add them to D&D, but that wouldn't mix well. My reasoning is that D&D has some pretty wide open holes, primarily because of it's focus on combat pretty much to the exclusion of all else. The...

Say, for example, I am a 2nd level Artificer who wants to scribe 5 Cure Light Wounds onto a scroll within a day. Now, I don't have the spell, so do I have to roll UMD for each time I'm scribing the spell onto the scroll (5x) or just once to get the spell emulation right? Also, do I only roll...

I'm sorry if this is a common question or is simple. I've run D&D 3.0 since the PHB came out and Never had a player want to make items. I've never wanted to make items either. Now I'm an Artificer and this is my deal, so I'm trying to get a handle on what I can/can't do. A level 0 spell...

I don't have my 3.0 books with me, just d20SRD.org and the Eberron Campaign Setting. d20SRD.org doesn't mention any suggestions for Craft. Eberron just makes mention of you having to have the proper craft skill or hiring someone out to make the item and you enchant it. Weapons -->...
