    Homebrew Worlds- What is in YOUR world?

    Current World My current gameworld revolves around the elemental planes and something that became known as the Fall. Over the course of the past three thousand years, a maralith demon has returned repeatedly and caused (you may have guessed by now) chaos. As the people of the lands adjusted...

    100 Minor Treasures

    I'm not particularly tech-savvy. This table is open to anyone to use, though, so if you feel so inclined, please feel free to use either table in OGRE.

    100 Minor Treasures

    Below is a table of 100 items that might be found by adventurers that have a value of 10 to 100gold pieces... I tried to keep away from generic treasure, instead trying to find things that are out of the ordinary. Some may lead to adventures, others are simply mysteries... Let me know...

    Looking to brainstorm "better" plots

    PC has a relative die, leaving them a track of land and implied service to the baron. Problems? Local thieves guild wants protection money, druids want to control the forests, a dark cult has a base in the caves, a hidden monastery for hobgoblin monks, the road through the land is a prime spot...

    How to deal with a Monk's AC?

    Wow, what a fun dilemma! First off, let's aid the villain. A contingency teleport would be nice (Set to teleport him to some safe location if he is reduced to 10 or fewer hit points, is incapacitated/paralyzed, or loses control of his mental faculties. Give him some buffs, potions...

    Dead end as DM

    As DM, you have the power of the universe and all of the gods at your disposal. #1: Is there some reason the patron doesn't pay for the item? Money is easy to lose and after a while, there isn't any real sense of cash. As long as magic items are readily for sale, give them the cash. Then...

    Cryomancers, Pyromancers, etc. Need some input and sugestions.

    Well, I can't tell you how you'd want to do it, but some of the obvious effects of a cold attack might be : slowed, held/paralyzed, dazed, dexterity damage (temporary), item saving throws for metal (armor/weapons) and cloth, blindness (temporary), concentration checks for spell-casters...

    illegal magic

    Check out the "Wheel of Time" series as well. Male magic-users eventually go insane... Also, great read for the first four books (Jordan loses a little focus after a while), but a great in-depth world...

    Battlefield Archer PrC

    Having a fighter's BAB, a d8 for hit points, and (too many) special abilities is excessive. No need for Sneak Attack (and needlessly limits the field of potential archers). I (personally) don't like the options to add javelins, shuriken, thrown hammers, darts, etc... The weapons are simply...

    Starting a new Very Low Magic setting, advice on mundane tricks/ideas.

    Screaming arrows are real items, I'm not sure there are stats specifically for them... They are likely more expensive than standard arrows... Oh, and don't forget string and bells for an alarm system....

    Starting a new Very Low Magic setting, advice on mundane tricks/ideas.

    I like to use 'egg bombs', simply chicken eggs that are hollowed out and filled with flour. You can use them to uncover invisible creatures/objects, to make pursuers think you're poisoning them, or to allow a quick escape unseen. Also, the caltrop is your friend. Get bags of them and use...

    Your Most Fun Item

    My favorite was a +2 spear with the personality of a barbarian. Named "ELMer", the spear was terrified when thrown, screaming all the while, and had the ability to insult others it thought were too 'girly', especially wizards (like the one that stole his spirit and put it in a spear). ELMer...

    Help for dealing with rogues

    Have you tried to add cursed items to the mix? If the rogue needs a 'remove curse', even the trusting cleric might ask where he got that item. Or, have an NPC discover his secret and blackmail him (or simply tell the rest of the party). Or have a distinctive item that a secret cult has been...
