I was playing a paladin with a ranger and some others in my party. We were fighting a undead purple worm.

Being the not so bright paldain i charged in and got eaten but was still alive inside the worm.

The Ranged decided to help out and shoot the worm but rolled a 1.
DM- Your shots hit the Paladin doing damange.
He shot me inside the worm....We managed to survive the encounter but the ranger did more damange to me then the stupid Worm.


Thanks for all the info.

Special thanks goes out to Archlich for that good look at true neutral. Probally play ignorance, Kael doesnt really care...he is out for his own good, and if it happens to be good cool, if its evil /shrug.

I am also thinking about comming up with a simple spell incantation for teh 4th level and above spells such as

Flame Strike - The Heaven open up and Natures wrath decends upon you, duridic spell 45....FLAME STRIKE...

Since high level spells are rarely used (i can only cast 2 a day right now) i think it would add soem RP into combat. What you guys think? too annoying?


yeah i know, i take it for easy of saying it. Nothing ruins the mood like messing up your or other chac. names.

But can i get away with saying i am a noob? :)-


Villains make or break a good fantasy theme for me.

A good villain makes things so much more memorbale.

Things to watch out for.

1. incompadent underlings
2. A bad guy who is bad just for the sake of being bad. Most true to life villains have reasons and justifications for what they do.
3. Dont make your heroes too perfect. Flaws are what make people interesting. If your superman who cares...

One thing i reccomend is to throw in a suprise. Like a real suprise. I know its made my day in the past when a good book or game throws in something i never saw comming.

A good tatic is to steal from other media types and make it your own. Got a favorite tv theme or momement? change it up into your story.

hope this helps.

Please forgive the unorgnial name. None of the other guys play MMO's so there like cool! At least i know how to say it.. :).

I created a 2 page background story, but for the sake of simplicity (and your valuable time) just say he is a Elf wanting power and prestige in his own. His low CHA score makes him overlooked and he doesnt like it. He prefers the elmental nature (Air, Ice, Fire, etc..). Because of that (and my newness) i am limiting myself to The teopard, the cat, and the bear. I am going to probally play him as a caster. What you think? to hard?

Chac in my grp are Halfing soccerer, a human cleric, a multiclass barbarian/rouge/beguiler (pro D&D player), and a dopliganger (sp?)theif. Were hiting age of worms. the DM is on this forum so i just /wave at him.

Want to say thanks to everybody. Stayed on the print (books) and electornic forms of Roleplaying for years, checking out tabletop!


Hello, i am new to D&D (played about 5-6 sesstions of 6hrs +)so i thought i seek out the advice of the pros.

After a quick foray into a paladin (Lawful good was too diffcult to play, a raciest zealot was not in the cards), he got killed off so now (Random encouters with Assasins hurt, thanks Taliesin!) i am trying a druid.

I am currently playing the durid as a pure neutral, with a focus in elemental spells (less animal more shaman). He is starting out at 7th level. I was wondering if anybody has some advice...My DM in Taiwan suggested that wisdom might be found here.
