Hi all. I have a player in a home game who wants to teach his animal companion tricks. He wants to use Speak with Animals to help in the training. The duration of the spell is 1 minute/level.

Handle Animal

You can teach an animal a specific trick with one week of work and a successful Handle Animal check against the indicated DC.

The character in question is 2nd level so two minutes of conversation per casting. If he were to cast it once a day what would be a reasonable benefit?

6 days instead of 7?
+2 bonus vs. the DC to train?
Some other option I haven't considered.

I appreciate any and all responses.

Hi all

There is plenty of excellent ideas on the boards here. I'm shamelessly borrowing and adapting many for use myself. I'll be using this thread as a sounding board for ideas, in and around Sandpoint.

If you are playing, or plan to play, or are my players... please exit the office the same way you came in. :)

I am absolutely ok with hearing something is a bad idea. All feedback is considered good here. Spelling doesn't count. I'd like to stay on topic if possible.

I appreciate everyone's help. The goal is a fun game for my group.

Lets begin.

Please remember your spoiler tags. My group of friends can be like little kiddies at Christmas sometimes but the tags should send them packing.

Thanks

Kyrrok the Level 1 Shoanti Ranger hears a group moving down the Lost Coast road. They are travelling in the same direction as Kyrrok but are moving faster than him and will shortly overtake him.

Kyrrok dismounts his horse,Silver, and leads her behind a few trees and bushes just off the road (10 - 15'). Here he decides to lay low (use Stealth) to let the group pass him so that he can get a better handle on who they are what they want.

My question:

Handle Animal to get Silver (his horse) to heel and lay low with him?
Separate Stealth for the Horse? - this doesn't feel right to me.
Modified opposed stealth check for having the horse with him?

I'm the GM. I realize its whatever I decide but I'm wondering what others would do.

Any observations appreciated. Great group of people here and I appreciate any help or thoughts you care to provide.

Thinking minor artifact level or major item. Should have some powers in its own right. Can hold 5 Ioun Stones. Maybe allow casting a few spells and then dependant on stones inserted extra power/spell.

Should be a unique item I think. Do you think the stones should be unique?

coolness factor= yay or nae?

Any other ideas anyone has for this would be appreciated.

Rereading this it sounds a little like the skull from ToEE. How do we not make it that. :)

Thanks everyone.

Hi all. I'm a GM. If I can define it I should be able to make a decision regarding a build one of my players is working on.

Any help with a definition that can be cited would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance. I've failed in my search foo. Books, PRD, previous queries, this site.

I'm expecting one of my players to go in search of just such a person next session. I have a cool set of Tarot cards for just such an occasion. Was going to flip cards out on the table and 'read' characters future.

Mechanically was thinking along the lines of the 1st Ravenloft module. Its in a box around here somewhere but its basically gives +1 to this specific circumstance when it arises or gives some cryptic insite into where a cool item the character might want can be found.

Thoughts on making this a fun cool event?

All input appreciated.

Thanks

HI all,

Looking for thoughts and any ideas for fleshing out or modeling a certain Sczarni criminal group in my ROTRL game. The players are really having fun going about and interacting with the area and people. I'm doing a lot of fleshing out.

Thinking using biker group or gang as flavour. What can we come up with?

Leather and patches.
Code.
Club house.

What else we got?

Need some names too.

Thanks everyone

I have a player in one of my games who wants to use cure light wounds on a body to heal the visible wounds so that the friends of the deceased aren't upset by what they see.

Flavor wise/ coolness factor i'm good with it but does the use of say, cure light wounds in this way step on the toes of some other spell?

Anyone see any possible pitfalls?

Thanks for any replies.
