    Can horses Spider Climb?

    The spell description says "The affected creature must have its hands free to climb in this manner." Horses don't have hands, but I'm thinking the writer decided "The affected creature must have it hands, feet, hooves or paws free..." was too clumsy.

    Harpoons used against dragons?

    My players are going through Red Hand of Doom. They've realized they are up against many flying creatures (dragons, manticores, wyverns, etc.) and are trying to create tactics to even the odds. Last game they constructed some harpoons, thethered them to unmovable objects with chains and used...

    My wife is playing her first DnD character ever, an elven fighter / beguiler. She just hit 3rd level in beguiler and gets to pick a new 1st level spell to add to her spell list with the class ability "Advanced Learning".

    Avoid an overrun attempt. Does it provoke an AoO?

    A target of an overrun attempt can choose to simply avoid the overrun, moving out of the way with "no ill effect". Does that movement provoke an attack of opportunity from other enemies in the area? I'm not sure if "no ill effect" simply refers to the consequences of the overrun (being knocked...

    So... what do you do with fairies?

    I have a druid who is immune to "nature's lure", and a bard who needs to do some counter -songing. I'd like to have some sort of encounter with a fey who uses music to enchant the party, but I don't know WHY the fey would do that. What do fairies, pixies and satyr's want anyway? As far as I can...

    I need pics of the Underdark

    My players are going to be heading through a massive underground cavern, large enough to hold cities within it. I've been looking for some pics to help convey the vastness of the space, but I haven't had much luck. Can anyone point me to some images that depict the epic scope of such a cavern?

    Do you let your clerics have all the spells?

    I have a player (who always plays wizards) playing a cleric in my new campaign. He insists he's not min/maxing but most of his choices appear to be made solely for their tactical value ("cleric is just the best class", "I want to play a 'little person' who rides a dog and wileds a lance, but I'm...

    What's a good wage for the king's bodyguards?

    My PCs are now serving as the king's personal bodyguard/troubleshooters. I figure they deserve some sort of monthly stipend. Any idea how much that should be? I've been trying to find something in the DMG/DMGII/PHB/PHBII but there's really no consistent economic model in the game (which is...

    Jousting in D&D?

    My players are going to attend a tournament. They are very excited to participate in the joust. I was thinking of doing something where each rider rolls to hit, and if successful rolls a grapple check. The higher grapple roll unseats the other. A couple things I don't like about this: 1) it...

    One of my players rolled up a 1st level halfling and wanted a good-aligned worg as his mount. I said "no, but you can have a wolf with the same stats as a riding dog and overtime I'll let you 'level-up' your mout until it has the stats of a good-aligned worg" I thought I had seen a paladin...

    Building a better spellcaster: Combiding priest and wizard spell lists?

    I'm building a setting for a new campaign that doesn't differentiate between wizardly and priestly magic. I'm pulling some of my inspiration from Dark Sun, and making spellcasters draw on elemental forces to cast spells. Additionally, a combination of all four of the basic elements create a...

    Full Defense - does it exist?

    One of my players wanted to know if you still received your Attacks of Opportunity if you choose full defense as your action for the round. I hopped right to the PHB, but I couldn't find anything about the Full Defense action. I started wondering if I'd made the whole thing up... The way we...

    PrC that lets you become an elemental?

    I've got a player playing a dwarven fighter, and after getting bored with taking level after level of fighter, has decided his character will become pathologically obsessed with fire.

    So how do you run environmental hazards?

    So my PCs are off to sea, and to throw something a little different at them I decided running into a brutal storm at sea would be a nice change of pace. Problem is... I can't think of too much for them to DO. Part of the problem is that I'm not really sure how to handle a ship in a storm (the...
