My group is starting a non-magical campaign. I'm wondering how we are going to handle healing the party without any magic. Does anyone have any class suggestions or other ideas that would help us out? Thanks in advance.


Me and my cousin are the two girls in our group of ~7, although my cousin is usually just there and consistently doesn't know what's going on. Even so, I don't notice anyone treating us differently due to gender.

When making new characters, we usually flip a coin to determine the gender. The thing is, we use a half dollar coin our GM carries around, and I swear that thing is weighted or something, because there is an 80% chance to be female. I have tested this. And when our usual GM plays, he always, ALWAYS gets female. He's resigned to his fate and it's hysterical.


@Efreeti The island is just something to spice up the campaign, since one of the players complained about there not being a whole lot of combat. I'm certainly fond of the idea you put forth, too!

@Imbicatus The party dynamics kinda suck... we have no divine spellcasters and little anti-swarm tactics. Now that I think of it, I should have put what the party consists of in the first place. We have:

Human Sea Singer (Bard)
Human Buccaneer (Gunslinger)
Human Summoner
Orc Barbarian
Suli Sorcerer (Elemental Air)
Tieflling Inspired Blade (Swashbuckler)

Whoops, looks like I miscounted, there's 6 of us.


What level is your party? I remember seeing a spell somewhere specifically for reviving dead animal companions, but I don't remember the name or which book it's in. It may be too high a level spell anyways.

If worst comes to worst, you can always pay someone to revive it. I remember someone "smartly" had a horse in Rise of the Runelords, that poor horse died five times to goblin fire. We ended up having to buy it fireproof barding just to get past all the goblins!


...You do all realize there's a druid class SPECIFICALLY for having dinosaur companions, right? It's called Saurian Shaman, and it's in Ultimate Magic...

Make the BBEG of the island a "Spider-Man": ie a Worm that Walks with the worms refluffed to spiders.

*Ahem* This is LEVEL 4 CHARACTERS. Please everyone keep that in mind.

The island is a flating island made of black peebles held together by webbing (doesn't exclue the caves sistem, but will make them necesarely shallow).

Plot twist: those are no peebles. The whole island is made of peeble-sized spiders (a gargantuan swarm?) holding togheter, something like this

Geez, that is so evil, I like it. It's not silly, but maybe a terrifying twist will be good for the party. There's this one guy who keeps digging holes (looking for "hidden treasure"...), he is NOT going to have a fun time.


Hello forums! I recently started running my first campaign ever, and it's a pirate/ship travel campaign. I'd like to make a spider-themed island for my campaign. I'm thinking of it being filled with a cave system filled with, well, spiders, but that's a little lame. That's if nothing more creative comes to me, so I'm going to the forums for some cool ideas! I would prefer things that are silly and ridiculous, since that's how the campaign is so far. We have 5 level 4 players, so it should be something they can handle.

TL;DR: Need silly ideas for spider-themed island in pirate campaign, with 5 level 4 players!


Hey, so I'm trying to create a character that focuses on using electricity to attack and for other various things if possible. I've got my eyes on the djinni and stormborn bloodlines, but what would you guys recommend for me? I'm fairly new, and any advice would be appreciated. c:
