    Good Way to Handle Child Prodigies?

    Olympic gymnasts? Constant training and exercise isn't a lifestyle? I was giving a conversion from my 1st edition house rule on child and teen characters, 3rd/3.5 has no level caps so of course they are not RAW. It depends on what you mean by disadvantaged. Being an immature child...

    Good Way to Handle Child Prodigies?

    That probably has more to do with lifestyle than anything else. I have run child adventures in 1st edition. I did do stat adjustment, my notes are put away but a quick conversion from memory would be such: child 8-12 Small Human HD 1d4-3 (1 hp), Str -4, Dex +1, Wis -4 Human child base...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Stealthy Spell Casting

    Explain The party does have a watch, that is who the threat is. A one time cleric of Pelor who has been corrupted and twisted into a cleric of Nerull. He is trying to murder a cleric of St. Cuthbert who is in the party as well. These players have been playing together for years, so a little...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Stealthy Spell Casting

    I am running a modified 3.5 game. Due to my abysmal search skills I can't determine if I give the sleeping party a DC 13 (DC 0 people talking, +3 30 feet, +10 sleeping) Listen check or a DC 28 (DC 15, person whispering). A divine caster, cleric of Nerull (trickery is one of his domains) is...

    Portable Hole as a trap

    What the text is describing is that the items, and their contents, would be equivalent to dropping a pin in an infinite hayfield. The is no possible chance that a human would have the time or resources to find it, thus it is lost forever. It in no way states or implies that the characters are...

    Morality of LG spellcasting

    We are playing Ravenloft, I cannot wait to have the opportunity to say "I am the Fist of Heironeous, you are a creature of evil and have been judged unredeemable, prepare to die!"

    Morality of LG spellcasting

    The quick answer is no. The long answer would depend on the campaign. For example using some of the optional rules in the Libris Mortis it is possible to have a undead paladin of Heironeous. In those circumstances all undead are not unredeemable. A clearer answer would be, if a creature that...

    Morality of LG spellcasting

    Many sources are quite clear on it, if they are not redeemable they are to be destroyed. Especially demons, devils and undead. Why house rule when you can fit it in nicely with the RAW?

    Morality of LG spellcasting

    Using the foul sight granted by the powers of unlife . . . This is the fluff text that begins describing the spell. What I perceive you actually saying is you think there should be an official first level spell that has the same effect that is not evil. i.e. Blessed with beatific sight granted...

    Morality of LG spellcasting

    I am not assuming anything. LG can and do bring lethal force to bear upon evil foes (and non-evil ones that are preforming evil acts). I merely point out that there is a possibility for redemption and a good PC should be prepared to give quarter. Spells with instant death effects, especially...

    Morality of LG spellcasting

    LG exactly tend to codes, that is the definition of law. A codified set of norms that the community believes in. It is the good that keeps the code from being inflexible. Heironeous, IMHO based upon the sources I have read, would understand that some creatures are implacable. Some enemies are...

    Morality of LG spellcasting

    Deathwatch has the evil descriptor. We included the symbols because of the method of implementation plus effects. Leaving symbols around that the innocent can stumble across seemed too random for a lawful being. A good being also strives not to cause pain and suffering for their own sake...

    Morality of LG spellcasting

    In the coarse of my campaign our party has, in the face of great evil, all come to worship Heironeous. Since none of us have much history of playing lawful good characters, it has developed into some interesting discussions. The most recent of which are, what spells would be forbidden (or...

    What DO you like about 1E AD&D

    Favorite I like things that were so obscure that even the DM was surprised! "The evil fighter swings, his weapon seem preternaturally accurate. Morgan takes a deep wound in his side. Margan take 15 hp damage. Scourge, it's your initiative." "I use my spetum to disarm the evil fighter, I need...

    Leatherbound Core Rulebooks - Do They Have Errata?

    Errata I can't say for the PHB or DMG, but the leather bound Monster Manual does incorporate the errata. At least the changes to alternate form on page 305. I figure if one change was made they probably all were.

    RAISE DEAD: get rid of it and make D&D better

    I don't see what the problem is? If you don't like raise dead then get rid of it. Just because it is core doesn't mean you have to allow it. *shrug* If it is a permission thing, then you have my permission.

    My simple prediction about Gleemax

    I thought it was the lamest entry in the Libris Mortis. It is funny that I hate this theme but have the DVD for The Brain That Wouldn't Die. I guess it could have been worse. It could have been Santa Claus with a laser rifle. I have a DVD for that too. Santa Clause Vrs. the Martians, its the...

    Level 10 Half Dragon Character Help

    I can't believe no one suggested the Dragon Breath Feat, preq is 6HD, increases your breath weapon to 1d4, same as a normal dragon.
