What exactly does the (cohort) level adjustment mean? For example the blink dog has a LA: 2 (cohort), I'm guessing this means that it's a viable cohort species, but not a PC one, but I can't actually find a definition of this anywhere. Cheers

Actually the SRD says "A spell-like ability has a casting time of 1 standard action unless noted otherwise in the ability or spell description", which is the source of my confusion. So does this spell like ability that duplicates a spell that takes 1 round to cast, take 1 round as the spell, or...

The rules say that a spell like abilities take 1 standard action to "cast" unless otherwise stated in the abilities or spells description. I'm specifically wondering about dominate monster, like formian taskmasters for example. It's a spell like ability, but the spell normally takes 1 round to...

Thanks guys, these last few posts were actually useful :D

Okay so perhaps house rules would have been a better place for this, but I never even really considered it a house rule. Nothing was changed, just adapted to fit a race of creatures that were jaguar instead of human, perhaps I just defined a house rule actually but anyway... I have to disagree...

Sorry, let me rephrase, I think we've read the rules lawyers opinions enough times already, I'd like to people to consider what is actually going on with the situation, not just quote some rule somewhere. What I'd like is a discussion based upon why or why not this stuff would actual work or...

Please explain to me how the physics of a spinning kick and the physics of a claw attack differ. The former is fine based upon what some are calling the "flavour" text, or what I call the definition of an unarmed strike, so to me an attack that mimics the same movement should be able to qualify...

Well I really don't want to turn this into me against anyone, but in my later post I never said the paw and claw were the same. I suggested using the paw for the flurry, then a claw and a bite as additional weapons, count 3 weapons here. Also, technically a monks unarmed strikes aren't...

True enough, but honestly how is a claw attack fundamentally any different than a punch, there's no reason she couldn't paw someone instead, like those declawed cats for example, which would make the attacks "unarmed". So why couldn't she use her two "paw" attacks, then her flurry of blows with...

So I've got a PC that's a shapeshifting race from mystic races, and she can change into a jaguar with 1 bite and 2 claw attacks. She's also an 9th level monk at this point. The bite does 1d6 and the 2 claws 1d3 normally, but since to monk's unarmed damage raises every few levels, we've increased...

You see that's exactly the kind of situation that bothers me. Someone in a 10' wide pit, cannot dodge a 20 ft' fireball, it just doesn't make sense. Now I also agree that making sense is certainly not a requirement, but without some kind of physical movement to avoid being hit, this would make...

I'm specifically thinking of spells like fireball, for example.

Howdy, I've long wondered exactly what a reflex save actually is. Is it ducking behind a conveniently placed rock, or actually dashing out of the area of effect? Does it depend on terrain? Do you make your player's actually move outside the area of effect? Though I've never actually done...

Anti-americanism is a growing international phenomenon, and I do share many if its sentements, but I'm not going to talk about the causes of that. However I do beleive that statements like american GM's flop when playing European games is a load of crap. While personally I take offense to the...

Well, any opinions? Can a creature with a fly speed tumble in the air?

Can someone please tell me if and where the Hoopak has been described. I thought it would have been in the new Dragonlance book, but I can't find it anywhere. Am I blind or just dumb? any help, please?

Howdy, I'm wondering what the caster level would be a 10th level character. One that has 5 levels of wizard, and 5 levels in a prestige class that grants spells per day only on even levels. I've found no mention of this in the core books, but I'm inclined to say the caster level would be...

So, how exactly does one go about healing an elemental?

Any word on a 3.5 update to wild spellcraft, either a new PDF, or even better would be an list of updates to make, since I have the print version.

Three Halves Actually I think in this case you could have three halves. I'm assuming that you take a half troll- half dragon, and then make it a half-golem, which isn't a birth property but one that is added afterwords so it works, at least in my mind.:)
