Yes, the Upgrade cost is, in effect, the enchant cost.

No one has any interest in this? Would love a little feedback.

So I have this mad scientist/gnome wizard as an NPC in my campaign, and one of the PCs bought a set of fullplate armor from him that he'd been modifying to run as a clockwork automaton. I showed the group a picture of the Mark 1 suit from Iron man as a visual aid. Well, a little while later, I...

Actually, no, a +1 animated shield is a +3 item. Animated is a +2 price modifier. Also, Looking at Improved Buckler Defense, it says: Some DMs might not count attacking with a two handed weapon as attacking with a weapon in your off hand. The player could take Shield Specialization with the...

Who would animate a tower shield? I'm smelling a ranger or maybe a scout here, and they're not even proficient in tower shields. A +1 animated heavy wood/steel shield would give +3 ac, -2 ACP, no dex limit, and doesn't eat up a feat. The player could then take dodge, and have the same AC...

Polymorph would work, illusion would not. It is from careful study of the enemy, but does not specify his culture or their training techniques, just his own. The favored enemy bonus could relate to an orc having an exposed tendon near the back of their calf, or a lack of ability to guard their...

I beg to differ. True, there are foils to every kind of build. Even still, this build has the benefit against Large and larger creatures of not needing to incur AOOs during it's own approach either. Well, if you take the field as a static place, and don't try to use tactics to manipulate...

Most, yes. You'll need to go outside core to get decent options unfortunately. (I thought longspear was a weapon monks could use, but I'm not seeing it in the SRD, and don't have the PHB in front of me) So the monk burns a feat to use a decent weapon, and the fighter uses a feat (a weak one in...

Its not about damage per hit, it's about damage per round. The Warforged you're talking about has, 2 attacks normally, maybe 3 when it's hasted, 4 if it gets lucky and can manage an AOO. The monk can effectively make AOO's happen. A high Dex monk can tumble into the middle of a fight with ease...

I can't believe no one has mentioned Fenrir. Seems an obvious candidate to me.

And how could these be domesticated? How could they drive a cart made of wood without shaking it to pieces? Who would allow them to walk through town with fire blasting from their hooves? If owlbears were the norm and bears didn't exist, it would seriously increase the danger of living in the...

I too got the free Dragon Warrior with a subscription to Nintendo Power. When I was in my early teens, I decided to buy the 2E core 3, and never played them. Honestly, I don't know what spurred me on to buy them. I got Menzoberranzan for the computer, and never got very far with it. I played...

I wouldn't use the Berserker variant unless I really trusted my healer. At 8th level you'll have rage 3/day. Will you really need it more often than that? Even as the big bruiser, you'll be surprised at how many combats you may take superficial or even no damage. Control your rage, don't let...

Great artifact idea, and the suggestions so far are very interesting (I especially like the ioun pawns) Some alternate ideas: Kings should definitely be beyond the others, but should also be weak offensively. Off the top of my head I'm thinking geas/quest for white, dominate for black (both...

13. There are 37 ways to kill an orc with an apple. 14. Androsphinxes have terribly matted beards 15. There are currently 44 women in the world named Zinna.

Shortly after joining the military I got into my first D&D game, AD&D actually. I can't even remember what I was playing, probably a human fighter. The PCs were protecting a caravan and the caravan was ambushed. While most of the PCs got right into the fighting, one elven archer type decided to...

Perhaps the Hobgoblins were fighting tactically, having several aid another giving one Hob a couple of +2 bonuses to land those hits. In each instance where Haley is hit it seems only one of the hobgoblins is swinging, the others are just holding the line and (maybe) trying to distract her...

Looking over the comic, in no panel are there more than 3 "fft"s. Panel by Panel: Round 1 4th: Draw Bow, Shoot one arrow Round 2 5th: Rapid Shot(most likely), 3 arrows 6th: Hobgoblin charges,and gets in a hit Round 3 7th: Shoot one arrow 8th: Tumble away Round 4 9th: Rapid Shot(most likely), 3...

So we're in the deepest bowels of the ancient evil dungeon imprisoning the evil half of a god assassinated 700 years ago. The party is a Druid, Monk, Barbarian and Paladin. The BBEG is a high level wizard (9th level spells), who has just become possessed with the spirit of the evil god. He is...

You could use: Arkine (just made it up but like how it sounds) Sentinel (if you like that flavor) Marvel (if you like that flavor) Discordant (again, a flavor option)
