http://publicdomainreview.org/collections/highlights-from-the-20000-maps-made-freely-available-online-by-new-york-public-library/ Some of these maps could be very useful for a side trek into the "real world" or for adding to your own setting. But....20,0000 high res maps! Nice, right? With...

So, based on a FAQ ruling a character can enter Arcane Trickster with the following: tiefling rogue 3 wizard specialist 1 I am aiming at a character that can effectively fill the party role of rogue (finding and removing traps, sneaking, decent in social situations). I also see him as a sort...

I feel fairly confident in my ability to construct a useful wizard build, but I need a bit of inspiration for a character background. So, what are my character's motivations, tics, foibles, fears, story, etc..... Why is he out there hacking through jungles and crawling through dungeons instead...

My group has an NPC cleric but they want to ditch him because he hogs a turn. I am sympathetic to this. What are their options for getting by with no cleric? There's plenty of undead in the campaign. There are also two rogues in the party. Don't assume we've thought of any solution. I have...

I've been playing D&D with my 8 and 10 year old and I have no problem with stripping down the rules and making the game work for them. What I do need is some help with finding some appropriate adventures for kids. I can tone down the violence myself, but I need some straight forward adventures...

So I've got my next campaign narrowed down to either the Kingmaker AP or Rise of the Runelords AP. I am going to switch over to running the Pathfinder RPG for this one. I already have the Core Rulebook and Bestiary 1 and 2. Please suggest other Pathfinder titles I might find useful. Assume I...

My gaming group is a smart and open minded bunch. Most have played and enjoyed multiple editions of D&D (many of us have enjoyed all of them). At least half of us have DMed at some point in the past and a good number of us have tried or regularly play other games like GURPS, Warhammer, etc...

Any help with spell selection, item selection, feats, etc would be appreciated. We're unlikely to get to very high level play, so my priority here was to get to spellcasting in armor quickly and to try to lose as little BAB and caster levels as possible. Human 1st – Battle Sor 1 Feat...

My tactical warlord bit the dust and I'm thinking of building a laser cleric to take his place. I'm probably going with elf and high wisdom (of course). The party right now consists of three defenders, two strikers, a leader and a controller, so I will probably be able to avoid being on the...

Help me with a short (1-2 session) scenario please. When the PCs were less experienced, they were exploring a dungeon complex beneath a city. At the end of a corridor they came upon a room with three trolls. The three trolls were way too much for the PCs but through very clever uses of spells...

I recall reading rules for swarms comprised of small and even medium creatures in a published product. It seems like a mob of humans and a swarm of skeleton may have been an example. I want to avoid looking through 100 books and magazines on my shelf so any help narrowing this down would be...

What I have in mind is: Dwarf F1/ Wiz4/ Runesmith1/ Abjurant Champion5/ EK 8 I'm looking for advice on spell and feat selection and equipment (magic and mundane), especially through the first 12 levels. We're unlikely to go much beyond that. I'm thinking early on he will be little more than...

My group will be starting a 3.5 campaign set in Ptolus. We all find 4E to be acceptable to great but we'll be using 3.5 because: 1. Ptolus is a very well developed setting with lots of pre-made adventures and areas already made in 3.5. and 2. Many of the players just acquired a ton of 3.5...

I have wanted some tac-tiles for a while now but the company seems to have stopped making them. For those of you who don't know, they are interlocking squares with a grid that you can use for a battlemat. Now an office supply company has produced interlocking 8 in. x 8 in. white-board pieces...

I want to make a warlord who multiclasses into wizard. I'm certainly going for the tactical build warlord and an 18 to Int at first level. I could use advice on race, equipment, other stats and powers. I'm thinking hide armor, with either a longsword and light shield or a polearm (for...

If you mutliclass into wizard and take a power swap feat to get a daily and/or utlity spell, do you get a spellbook and the choice between two spells each day? Does anyone have anything from WotC on this?

I'd like to let the players try a skill challenge early on in KotS - preferably something that lets them use a wide range of skills and preferably something that gives them no extra information about the plot. Think of it as a one encounter "side trek." Any ideas?

So which at-wills function best for the half-elf's dilettante power? For the sake of discussion, let's assume we're looking to build a half-elf of each class. I like Twin Strike for a Rogue.

Please tell me if I am reading the rules correctly here. If a wizard makes an area attack while standing next to an enemy: xxxx xwex xxxx That enemy gets an Opportunity Attack as an interrupt. But the term "interrupt" doesn't mean that the spell is lost if the opportunity attack is...

When you score a critical hit on a sneak attack do you get max damage on the sneak attack roll?
