If you want to do some creative modification to the ants as described in the rules, there are literally thousands of species to play with... for instance, the bulldog ant -- fast, active, with good vision, small colonies but each individual has a stinger with paralyzing venom and large clasping...

2 reasons that are not mutually exclusive: A) that smacks of socialism B) that's why big pharma has lobbyists This may sound very cynical (but that doesn't mean it's not true)

Start out as a standard, run of the mill barbarian from a "wild" culture. As the levels go by have your character "find" a new god that inspires him to turn from his tribal customs and embrace the promise of this new religion. Become a fanatical devotee to this new religion and show your...

Hey Y.O. Thought you might like to know that today the Canadian government announced new initiatives to their immigration program -- part of which was geared toward encouraging foreign students to attend university in Canada... The relevant pieces of proposed legislation include 1) allowing...

just wanted to point out that taking cover vs an archer making liberal use of True Strike is not a very good defense... True Strike negates effects of cover (unless it is total cover) if I recall correctly -- though this says nothing as to whether the archer can still actually spot the target to...

thanks for the replies... I had asked because I was wondering about the effect of enchanting one of the two gloves with a secondary effect and also whether the order of operations would make a difference. According to your responses, it doesn't matter what is started with, the overall cost will...

Say I have a pair of Gloves of Dexterity +4... and want to have one of the gloves enchanted to also act as a glove of storing (or both for that matter). How would you establish the cost of stacking the magical effects?

given the nature of slaad, I'm a bit surprised there is a "Slaad King" However, accepting this possibility, it seems to me that if the Slaad King drops the 3 bodyguards should do one of two things... 1) being held together and functioning as a group only through his personal strength and will...

Sorry, ready an action... thought it sounded odd when I wrote it. Thanks for the input folks.

I brought this up on another thread, but didn't want to hijack... Imagine a PC who uses a longspear. He comes upon an enemy 50 feet away who see him at the same moment so instead of trying to close he (anticipating immediate attack) reserves his action to set his spear if charged. His foe...

sorry about hijacking, but this question caused me to wonder... does it make sense to always set a longspear against a charge by an opponent without reach? If the opponent doesn't charge, but simply closes to 5' you will still get an attack of opportunity as they move from 10' to 5', right...

given that gnomes are small, don't they already get defacto bonuses against humans, who are medium? Giving them a +1 vs humans as opposed to kobolds effectively gives them a +2 against humans... the racial +1 they get agains Kobolds and Goblins are against races that are also small, but...

I have a couple of friends who went the teaching route... both in high school level math and sciences (biology & Calculus) at a school just outside Toronto. If you ever think your working life is frustrating and beset with barriers to prevent progress, talk to a teacher... you will feel much...

I think that by any objective measure, the US lags behind most countries in the EU rather badly when it comes to overall science and math education at the primary and secondary school levels. Canada, where I was educated, may have been somewhat better, but not too much. I remember my father, who...

I always assumed that there was some sort of reliance on other senses for a character to be able to use the blindfighting feat, but there is no indication that that is case in the blindfighting write up... so what do you think? should a deaf person, or just someone in a very loud environment...

Is that specifically from a Planescape manual? What about Grey & Death Slaadii with their "Shapechange into Humanoid" ability -- would they be asexual humanoids? If not, they can mate (or do a good impression of it anyway) and if anything, one might expect an infusion of pure chaos to be very...

First a disclaimer: I don't have all of the books, so perhaps they do exist somewhere in an "official" publication (if so, please let me know)... But What's with Good/Evil fixation in D&D? the Law/Chaos axis is the Red-headed stepchild of the D&D universe. If you allow for Law/Chaos planes...

and Rakshasa has DR 15/good AND piercing... that was a really tough fight!

Don't have CA but was wondering whether a Warlock is more "multiclass friendly" than arcane spellcasting classes. Without resorting to Prestige classes to correct for shortcomings (Arcane Trickster, etc.) does a Warlock/Rogue or Warlock/Fighter suffer as much from the multiclass combo as, say a...

Poker is not a card game. As all the professonals say, you play the man, not the cards. Without the betting/risk element it is just a statistical exercise because the most crucial element is the ability to bluff. No other card game I can think of has this same element (except, perhaps, for the...
