Dmg-Building a City If you plan to run an extended adventure—or even a whole campaign—in an urban environment, it’s impor- tant to put some time and effort into describing the details of your city. Chapter 5 of the DUNGEON MASTER’s Guide for D&D v.3.5 provides a basic framework for describing some key features of a city, such as its power centers, assets, and highest-level nonplayer characters. This web enhancement expands that basic system into BUILDING A CITY one that is more complex, but well worth the extra work in terms of the payoff for running a city-based campaign. A Web Enhancement for the The basic unit of this city construction system is the DUNGEON MASTER's Guide v.3.5" district. A district is roughly equivalent to a modern city block or a small neighborhood. On average, a district represents about 500 people, though some districts (such as tenements) have a higher population density than CREDITS others (such as noble estates).

  • Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA and FAQ
    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA AND FAQ A collaborative product of the members of Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. Compiled, edited, and formatted by Siobharek. PDF version edited by ZansForCans. Modified: 11 February 2003 The definitive source for this errata and FAQ can be found in the ‘sticky’ threads at the top of the topic list on Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. None of these errata or FAQ are official in any way (i.e. Monte or WotC have not said "That's right."), but most have been agreed to be accurate and true to the core rulebooks by many DMs running this adventure. NPC stats corrections are grouped in the appropriate chapter that the NPC appears in. In some cases, there is no ‘fix’ suggested—the errata is simply provided to alert you to a discrepancy. You didn’t think we’d do all the work for you, did you? It may seem like there are quite a lot of errata for this product. There are! Part of the explanation we have heard is that Monte was working on the adventure while D&D 3e was still being finalized. The rest we simply blame on his editors. ;) We welcome further corrections and additions to this list. However, when and if you find something that doesn't seem right, please check in every available rulebook. For instance, adding the right number of feats and stat increases to monsters with classes can be fiendishly hard but check it and double check it as much as you can.
