..or "How I learned how to stop worrying and love the zombie apocalypse."

The scenario that almost came up this weekend was thus: BBEG is hiding with project image up. Paladin uses his aura to grant everyone within 10' his smite ability. Everyone declares BBEG's image as smite target. Now say that upon tussling with the BBEG, everyone makes their disbelief save. Is the Smite now wasted? Or does it carry over to the actual BBEG? How would you rule?

Help me out fellow Savage Tiders! Im working ahead a bit, and noticed all the empty cells in the fiendish prison. I ask of you to help me come up with some really evil, Hostel-ish window dressings for the PC's to find. I want them to really hate Demogorgon even more after this. (and if I can get any evil pc's to maybe think about their life choices, so much the better.)

What's everyone's thoughts on the new National Defense Authorization Act?

Personally, I kind of always knew that our freedoms would end, not with a bang, but with bi-partisan support.

roll call

That takes care of our 5th and 6th Amendments. Patriot Act took care of our 4th. Tonight, there will be a vote for SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), which should seriously cut into our 1st.

Thoughts?

Now the President of the United States may waive your first, fifth and sixth amendment rights, and may have you killed without a shred of due process. It has been talked about before in this adminstration, but now they have succeeded. I do not think this is a good thing. Thoughts?

In honor of the Luke Skywalker vs Harry Potter thread, I offer some more fight suggestions.

Anyone here from Indiana? Please tell me that there is a huge protest planned.

Please discuss.

Just wondering if anyone Pathfinderized the Totemic Demonslayer prestige class and, if so, whether they would be willing to share?

So my players' adventuring group Til She Grows A Beard fought and defeated a god this past weekend. It actually was not the one sided bloodbath that I thought it would be but it took alot of work on my part to keep my precious deity from being absolutely crushed. Here are my tips for Kyuss (and AoW in general) All this is 3.5

1. The Sphere of Annihaltion was not that big of a deal. At first I was worried about this artifact but Kyuss is amply prepared to deal with this. He is capable of casting gate on it which more than likely cancels it. (best result for him would be the planar tear result as he is dimensionally locked ala Manzorian/Tenser) Also he is more than capable of opposing control checks, especially after gating in something that can make opposing disarm checks on a talisman of the sphere wielder (which is usally a wizard with a horrible check). I went with Nightwalkers for this. Nightwalker/Blackguards actually.

2. If you let your players use something other than the PHB, you use it too! This is where most of my work came from. Nearly every encounter that I ran in the whole AP was completely retooled. The AP can not assume that every player has access to any sourcebook, so every encounter would be trounced by splatbook wielders. If you want to be a "pick up and play" DM, be prepared to say no to pretty much anything and everything.

3. At high levels, not everything is explained well. This is kind of Nit-Picky, but its a pretty big nit to me. Miracle allows you to Restore all your fallen allies to life. Oh yeah? all of them? ever? with no level loss? as Raise Dead? as True Resurrection? I dont know. Also, the Bead of Summoning from a Greater Strand of Prayer Beads allows you to summon an extraplanar ally of your diety. Hunh. As Gate? Summon monster? In short, be prepared to come up with answers on the fly. (BTW, I went with as Raise Dead, but massed and without material components, and as Summon Monster 9)

4. Lastly, and especially if you followed #3 above, do not be afraid to go over the top with your encounters. Seriously. Even if you think an encounter can not be defeated, your players will probably find a way. This may not work with every group, but my group was not afraid to run away and come back with a new strategy.

Anyone here play this on the PS3? Im tired of everyone on my team being complete morons and constantly dying and/or standing in front of me right when I try to aim.

So, my group is getting set to head into the fissure and I redo all my NPCs to account for spell compendium and Complete ---- books. So, Thesselar's fight seems kinda like a walkover to me. So I added a greater shadesteel golem (MM3) standing atop a symbol of death in Thess's room. He has Craft Construct, might as well put it to use!

My dilemma is thus: I traded his forge ring for Craft Contingent Spell from Complete Arcane. I figure this guy is an ancient powerful lich, he should be prepared for anything! So I got 20 contigent spells to work with, any suggestions from the community?

Anyone out there who plays Dnd 3.5 or pathfinder in the Altoona/Hollidaysburg area? If so, let me know.

My group (7 pcs level 15-16) have just recovered the Hand of Vecna from Darl on Last Resort and I'm pretty sure that they want to destroy the Artifact before continuing on with the AP. However, I've been having writer's block and am asking the boards for some good artifact destroying quest ideas.

Also as a side note, I own most Dungeon magazines from #66 ish onward, so if theres a good easily convertable adventure in one of them, let me know. Thank you in advance!

Where exactly does Loris store the froghemoth and other giant beasts for use in the games? My group hasn't asked me yet, but they are almost done exploring the understructure and I know it's gonna come up. Any ideas would be appreciated.
