    WotC submission ideas you rejected rather than send.

    Yeah, I had one of these. My campaign is all about ethics and morality and stuff like that, with an area where everyone is truly Good, and then outside that area it's just normal. The whole campaign arc is about whether it's ethically OK to have one place that's Good without sharing that with...

    Reading a scroll while invisible?

    Of course, since it's *magic* physics need not apply. The whole discussion is sophistry, really, because "invisible" mean other people don't see you so whether you can see yourself or not is irrelevant, so a version of the spell could exist where you can see yourself, or not, or both at once, or...

    where do I find mialee, krusk, etc. at 20th level?

    Thanks for the info about E&A and the bastion of lost souls. Are there any free sources for highlevel characters I could use to playtest? Simon http://www.simonwoodside.com/dnd/

    How do I turn Powergamers into Roleplayers?

    This is by far the best thread I've ever read. Some of the posts have been truly insipiring. Thanks everyone! Remember PSYCH 101 -- you can use positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement, but both together are best. But still, I like Glamdrings example, because he showed how to give the...

    where do I find mialee, krusk, etc. at 20th level?

    Hi, I want to playtest an EL 20+ encounter I've written so I'm looking for pre-generated VHL (very high level) characters. Like, especially, I'd like to download mialee, krusk, devin, and all the other standard characters if they're available. Or if they're not, where can I find some good...

    Immovable Rod Monkey Bars?

    Re: Re: Re: Immovable Rod Monkey Bars? Hehe.. yeah, but imagine if you added a bungie rope between the rod and the belt? Simon http://www.simonwoodside.com/dnd/

    Immovable Rod Monkey Bars?

    I wonder if you just did little steps it might be easier. Anyway, another thing to do is to rig up a pair of boots with the rods attached firmly to the soles, and your big toe over the button on each one. Then you start climbing like a staircase.. Simon http://www.simonwoodside.com/dnd/

    so confused about lead

    Yes, it does seem to block all divinations, that much I get. Does it block: - teleportation? - passwall? - dimension door? - planar travel? - astral travel? - ethereal travel? Simon http://www.simonwoodside.com/dnd/

    so confused about lead

    what the heck does it do? Everything I read refers vaguely to "other effects block by this material' (that's the strongholds book, but other books are just as vague about it). Please help! http://www.simonwoodside.com/dnd/

    Stronghold Builders Guidebook

    A good book despite the errors noted by the others above. I'm getting some seriously evil ideas from reading this :-> I have only two problems with it: 1 - it presents some powers that seem to me way too good, although they are usually expensive enough to compensate (and I HATE portals anyway)...

    Sneak Attack: A Little Too Powerful?

    Yeah... I'm taking the opportunity to teach my players some tactics by subjecting them to same. One of the things I like about 3E D&D is that it gives you the bonuses for height, charge, cover, etc. So, you got your 5 orcs, they're all CR 1/2 or whatever, but they're all above the characters on...

    How the heck [b]SHOUD[/b] XP work

    some thoughts about the matter 2E didn't have an EL and CR system? I think that the 3E system is a great innovation, but then the party I'm playing with so far has always been close to the norm. I don't have time to try to do all the math & research right now to figure this all out. But here...

    XP award: I need help!

    Now hold on a minute here. You guys are throwing around numbers without taking into consideration that larger parties are more powerful and thus deserve less rewards. Let's say there's two parties: a normal 4-member party of 5th-level characters called "The Cooks" and a big 8-member party of 5th...

    HYPOTHETICAL question about advertising my site

    I have a web site with some original content on it that I wrote, that may be of interest or use to people who play D&D. For example, my house rules, and stuff like that. How do I advertise it so that it's on the lists of these kinds of things, since right now only my friends go to my website...

    PDF version of Castle Guide

    Look, CYA, whatever. I know a fair bit about electronic copyright law, but I don't really want to go into it. I may ask other questions in other/new threads, but they are about other projects I'm working on, and have nothing to do with anything I said this thread. Simon

    PDF version of Castle Guide

    I just posted a PDF version of the Castle Guide, the classic TSR on my website. You can download it at [snipped - Morrus] The original is available from WotC's Classics for Download page, but it's in ASCII text and the images are separate. I don't have the original book, so the formatting may...

    range increments for rays & ranged touch attacks?

    What is the range increment for a ranged touch attack? If a 12th level wizard fires a ray of disintegration at a foe 220 feet away, what attack penalty does the wizard take? What about spells that are not considered rays, like fireball: do they automatically hit a desired target at distances of...
