Anyone else really want that Carrion Crawler?

Ninja: Naruto style* Ki Controller At Will: Ki Damage Strike At Will: Distracting Kick Per Encounter: Illusionary double Per Encounter: Rain of Shuriken Once Per Day: Summon Tiger Demon's Flame *Disclaimer: I know very little about Naruto, so i'm going to make up stuff

Good heavens... imagine... imagine this: what if the archer fired only one arrow per monster? Only the final arrow struck true and slew the monster, but every other attack was simply the monster spending hit points to get out of the archer's line of sight! This is amazing

Look at Final Fantasy Tactics concept art, it will make you like them both. Bangaa dragoons and templars for Dragonborn, and Grie raptors for the Tiefling.

I purposely make a vast majority of the women "ugly". I'm trying to fight the trope of all men are ugly but every woman is a chainmail bikini model etc.

My apologies if this has already been said, but Think of it this way: You can make rules to justify anything, even once per day abilities, but is it worth it? Example: You are a fighter. You can use Mighty Face-Eating Bite if you make an endurance check DC 0. Every time you use this ability...

On gimping players: I think the point is that players can not JUST gimp their character's combat ability, but that they also gain other benefits for doing so (example: skill focus). On "the living world" that 3.5 provides: it's just not practical to have the DM prepare stats for everything, we...

A lot of problems can be solved by creativity. The wizard who can only cast one spell? That's easy! All of his powers are the same spell, but he's using that spell creatively each time. Like, say he has the spell that summons a bit of ice. Magic missile is him throwing the ice... sleep is...

The idiot fighter was an established character type? What is this, Saturday morning cartoons?

If players get save or dies... then that means monsters need to get spell resistance. If players get Force cage... then the monsters need disentegrate or teleport. If the players can fly... then so must the monsters. If the players can do X... monsters need immunity X, anti-X, pre-emptive Y...

1.) humor (gallows, usually) 2.) surprising developments (usually due to bizarre rule interaction) 3.) exploration through trial and error 4.) finding sacks of jewels and boxes of coins (ODnD baby!)

A whole nother class? sounds like a lot of work for Wotc, it's probably going to be a paragon path. Also hoping for a controller

Post the best monster gimmicks of all time, not from just DnD but from any game, or even from a movie or comic ! We're talking about attack patterns, special powers, or other weirdness that just makes a monster POP. Here we go : That one drow chick from Menzoborannzan who replaced on of her...

That is actually completely badass. I actually had a viking blacksmith NPC who built a suit of full plate that locks up and lets him stay upright when killed (this was high level, so rez was pretty frequent).

Cool, I can just imagine the prison wardens whispering in fear at the tiefling they have chained down with anti-magic wards glowing red in the depths of the asylum. And the surly dwarf who reportedly cleaved through two cell mates with his fist.

Two hander weapons get better when you start multiplying your weapon damage (dailies etc)

I guess find another monster with the same CR as four of the minions. Give the minions the same AC and defenses and attack bonus. Then have each minion deal damage equal to half that of the base monster. Roughly averages out to the same damage output, since the damage output decreases as the...

My players killed him, but its because everyone somehow managed to get a critical hit on each of their encounter powers and in addition, one player also got off a critical hit on a daily. Damage was being delivered like dvds.

Can someone post some cheap trinkets for the players to buy while playing shadowfell?

Somebody post some mundane items, you know, just some little trinkets for the players to buy wile playing shadowfell.
