Well we had our second Eberron session last night. The two Iron Defenders in the foundry nearly killed the characters off, and Saber almost killed them as...

... Does he have Adamantine Body? I would assume yes. Also. I assume that that STR is the result of Raging with a base STR of 18 so Raging pops it up to 22...
I believe it is... when he struck Saber he got lucky and hit for max damage (21 hp) but I had given Saber an oil of repair *whatever the WF equivalent to cure...
I had the same problem with my first group of Eberron players. I didn't make it through the first published adventure before everything fell apart. They had a...
You could throw them up against things that 1) fly, 2) are behind cover and not "chargeable", or 3) should NOT be killed (e.g. household guards that are not...
Give the other characters to make them a bit tougher. If the warforged guy complains, play to his ego by telling him that you had to do because he is so godly...
I think the problem with power-gamers in Eberron and players trying to force playing Eberron as a generic setting is going to be a problem for a lot of DMs. As...
... Stirges. 'nuff said. Also think about green slime as an opponent. With regard to the CR issue with a min-maxed Warforged: just give them tough encounters....
I agree, I was goin to tell you put the WF pc in a situation that he will either need to control his barbarian self or the group would suffer gravely. This ...

... The first thing that I thought of here is 'how does he do 2d6+9 on a hit', but if he's a Barbarian and he's got Strength 18 normally, that would fit. The...
In a message dated 10/1/2005 12:28:01 PM Mountain Daylight Time, ... That's a good point. NPCs in Eberron are 25-point buy, and at best have max hp at first...
I was using standard 4d6 random ability scores. My guess is he put an 18 into Str and had a 16 con (+2 for being WF). Max HP at first level, and he rolled a...
... 4d6, isn't that a little high? Or am I jumping over a typo? Silver Fox "It is all true, it is not true. The more I tell you, the more I shall lie. What is...
... That's the first thing I'd change. Point Buy is much *fairer* to all of the players than using random ability scores, plus it also means that the players...
Truth be told, I did plan to use point buy but the players shot it down in favor of the random rolling. As I said this is my first time DMing so I didn't want...
... In my experience, tha'ts the best way to encourage everyone ELSE to min-max. "Well, he's minmaxed, and he still surivved...maybe I need to do that too!" --...
I don't agree with this tactic. Punishing the non-min/maxed players will force them to create min/maxed characters. Look at Living Greyhawk for an example of...

Initially, I - like many others - thought that the population figures for Khoirvaire were much too low, and I kept comparing them to the population densities...
One more thing i thought of and need some advice how to deal with.. although I don't think there's any way.. the WF player, since he never needs to sleep,...

More things: - He always goes and picks up the caltrops when they're certain there's no one following them or if they break camp, so if they don’t get used...
