I don't see it quite that way. The acid test of a CR or EL, of course is how much it challenges the typical party and precast spells may well influence that in...
... Minor nitpick... Only 4th level scrolls or lower are core access, so wizards don't necessarily have that many 6th level spells. Even if you had access to a...

Hi there, As mods are getting deadlier, I find that one good tactic would be is for a paladin to detect evil before entering any large room and behind doors....
My general rule is, unless you know there is a threat (which is possible with the detects) AND exactly where that threat is coming from (not likely with the...
So why do the people behind the door automatically know when and where the attack is coming from if THEY don't have clairovoyance up? If they're expecting...
In a couple of modules I've played, there were instances where an alarm spell notified the enemies of the PCs' presence. With that being said, does that mean...
I've written and judged a number of mods that feature Alarm (or Mordenkeinen's Faithful Hound). My take on this is that, unless the party in the room is hidden...
COR4-10 Riddle of the Dust SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I want to make sure I'm giving out item access properly. A note at the ...
I pretty much agree with what Glyn has described below (and Russ in another post). As I interpret it, the initiative condition occurs when one party is able...
... Having one character killed due to such an auto-surprise (we were openin ga door of which we KNEW that there was danger behind it), I tend to agree, but I...
How about high listen checks hearing footsteps in the room? How do the bad guys know any more about the PC's location than the PCs know about the bad guys?...
I always let them make listen checks to hear the BBEG casting spells. The DC for hearing someone casting spells is 0 + 2/10' distance + doors/walls. Sure, my...
never said auto-suprise. both sides get checks. those that succeed act int the suprise round. Generally though, barring mass prep, the DC for the bad guys...

The way I see it, opening the door is an action taken out of initiative in the first round. A lot of judges do it your way, but this seems to unfairly penalize...
That sounds like a Living Spycraft module I played once. I suppose it was not the unexpected discovery that was the most shocking, but the hydrostatic shock of...
What is you general guideline when maps don't conform to nice even 5' squares for everyone? If half a square is available (like a diagonal is across it) can...

My practice is to allow medium PCs to occupy a square if at least half of it is "open" and small PCs if at least 1/3rd of it is open. As for doors, I try to...
Right, I do what you suggest at the bottom and draw on my battlemat in such a way that conforms to full 5' squares. If it's a round room, twisty passages,...
One of my favorite moments occured when I realized that all the NPCs had pre-cast round/level buffs (due to an alarm spell) that had worn off. The reason? they...
Step 1: Find Module Author/Cartographer. Kill them. Step 2: Go over the dungeon description, both in and out of boxed text, and fix it. Depending on what was...
What I have the NPCs do is go ahead and open the door when they have all their buffs cast and start the hurting on THEIR terms, rather than waiting until their...
