This post serves to share the observations I've made in my latest campaign, the details of which are; D&D 3.x, all source books available for use, must use the most recent errata or version of any text, all discrepancies decided by the DM at the table (no arguing during the game), if you didn't...

So, my father is an old school BECMI > AD&D > 2e nerd. I was talking to him on the phone tonight, and he mentioned his favorite adventure from back in the day was the Against the Giants -> Queen of the Demonweb Pits supermodule. He recalls, however, a series that lead into Against the Giants...

What are some ways to make combat a more deadly affair? I'm trying to bring my next campaign into the modern world, so you can bet there will be firearms and explosives of some kind. How do I really distinguish how much more deadly these weapons are than in previous editions, where pistols and...

For my next campaign, I want to the setting to be on Earth in 2012. I was going to start it in subsaharan Africa, and let them move from place to place on the planet. My main concern is coming up with classes and ideas that work in a modern setting. I'll need a group of base classes, with a...

I'm all fine for adding Pathfinder to D&D Legacy (hell, it came out before current edition), but the rush of D&D Next is disorienting and borderline spam on a forum that was once about previous editions. Please reseparate D&D Next from Legacy forums.

I'll be playing in a game tonight where I've been tasked with making an Archer. With a relatively small amount of time to get my things together, my build so far is Ranger 6/Deepwood Sniper 2/Peerless Archer 3. The increased range, critical, and power shot applying to Greatbows will help the...

In the "To Kill a Dragon" thread, Shivering Touch was brought up (obviously). I think we can all agree that the spell is too much, so I was going to share what I did to make it less of a "Dragons are Dead" spell to an "This Dragon is Gonna Kill Me if This Doesn't Work". Necromancy [Cold]...

This thread is no longer necessary, please delete it.

In an upcoming campaign, I'll be playing a Changeling Factotum/Chameleon, probably adding Warshaper toward the later half of my character's life. I would really like to have no face, as it fits in very well with the personality I've drawn up for the character - a man with no ego. With no ego...

Can any of the usual spells which alter physical appearance be used to add, remove, move, or obscure organs? If they are illusory (Disguise Self, etc), would you allow a player to be "faceless" (no eyes, mouth, nose, ears, or any other feature) but still able to use those perceptive organs? If...

As the subject suggests, is there any way to make talking an immediate action instead of a free action?

I'm sure it has already been done, would anyone link me to an updated/fixed Monk?

A couple of questions. Which Eberron book do they show up in? Are there any "Changeling Handbooks" laying around?

From one DM to another, I'd like to wish you all a Happy GM's day. It started 9 years ago on this very website (in the thread mentioned below), and it's become a bit commercialized since then, but the spirit remains the same...

The Fog thread got me thinking about a new adventure (first one in a few months, thanks). I'm going to make an E10-13/ish string of adventures to sack an auxiliary tower of a god-like being, and intend for the adventure to be only very slightly difficult for a group of five adventurers. Does...

Why is Minor Creation 4th level Wizard or Sorcerer and only 1st level Psion (Shaper)?

The Warmage appears to be the the quintessential Evoker, and does his job (one hit killing every mook in your BBG's defensive wall with a single spell) quite well. I notice that it is all that he can do with the spells available in the Complete Arcane (where he originates). Are there any...

In my DMing experience (about ten years now), I've typically played with smaller groups (2-4 players) and I've had great success with it. At the end of the month, I'm moving to Chicago to be with my wife (who is in the Navy) and five of her shipmates have expressed interest in playing the game...

When a Gestalt Barbarian/Druid who becomes a Master of Many forms (in this case, we'll say Dru20/Brb10/MMF10) have an effective Wild Shape HD and time restriction of 30 HD and 30 hours?

Anyone know of any? I'm wanting to put a Gestalt Character into a readable format on my computer, as it's getting quite bothersome to update so many things so constantly. It's worse than having to keep track of spell components in AD&D, I swear. My character sheet gets so marked up that I have...
