I was watching Lord Of the Rings And...

I see the DM ignored some rules all together. The dwarf anf the halflings were clearly moving with a movement of 30ft. And Gandalf also cast Light once or twice durning the game.

Maybe next level Gandalf will take the creation feat- Create New Race like Sauron did. That should help the PC's out unless the DM won't let him saying it is only for my NPC's blah, blah blah.
 

Actually, the players are pretty stupid.

1. The Ranger tries to cure a Negative Level by jamming a wad of chewing tobacco into a gaping wound. Why don't you just take a wizz on him while you're at it?

(Not that it mattered, since the cheesy DM has one of his pet NPC's cast a freebie Restoration on the halfling anyway. Anything for your precious 'story', right? Go play White Wolf!)

2. The same Ranger never even attempts a simple Healing check against Boromir. Instead he 'roleplays' with the bleeding fighter until he hits -10. Thanks a lot, jerk. Bormir's player has to go home early because you wanted a Hallmark moment.

3. Pick a name and stick to it. Just because you picked a lame-ass name like 'Strider' at character creation doesn't mean you can change it later. Let's have *some* consistency, DM.
 



Railroading?

Oh my god, the railroading.

For instance

The party: We're not going under moria, are you nuts? We,re taking the pass!!!

Tolkien: Fine, there is a big ass storm in the pass, you cannot pass!

Party: fine! grumble grumble.

That is a good way to clean the wound to be honest. Urine is sterile. So listen up Kids! If you are in the woods and you have a buddy that is bleeding and wounded don't use some nasty riverwater to clean the would, take a power leak on it!
 

Whats up with the Wizard always in the front and the Ranger always in the back?

That Wizard sure looks alot like Elminster.

How come they keep switching between calling them Hobbits and Halflings. Halflings don't have hairy feet.

Why do the Wraiths catch on fire?

How can an incorporeal wraith ride a horse?

Given the obvious advantage of elves, I think its strange only one person chose to play one. Must be all about roleplaying at that table.
what's really strange about that is that in the first "prequel" campaign, everyone wanted to play a dwarf, and it took all the DM's cajoling just to get one guy to play the token halfling.

the DM still managed to sneak in his pet high-level wizard NPC, though. :rolleyes:
 

And what about the ringwraiths? Nigh indestructible, intelligent, undead. Damage reduction, attacks cause death in less than 24 hours, and the victim becomes one of them. Fort save DC: 20. But a simple torch kills them with ease. That's way too easy. A party of 1st level characters could mop the floor with these guys armed with a few torches, and think of the experience they'd get! These are at least CR 5-6 creatures.
