    Dragon fighting tactics?

    being that one of you players is psilike 9, this should be easy. provided that he is close enough, crystal shard, followed by some crystal shard, and then a dash of crystal shard. What better way to fight big creatures than with touch attacks? second: dragons have SR --crystal shard: SR: No...

    Druid build help

    I think I am p/b qualified to feild this question. Let me start by answering your last question first. Yes. produce flame trigers when you make a touch attack to initiate a grapple. it drains the spell as per the description. however this only works when you make the touch attack and not on...

    Polymorph

    my inclination is that it works to us a polymorph spell to change your type to another and use a second Polymorph Any Object to make a change permenant. My reasoning is that it is not a stacking issue or a replacement issue, -again this goes back to my form alltering effect argument that i...

    How do you handle the Leadership feat?

    The only reason a DM ever let me take the Leadership feat was because I was a Warforged Juggernaught with a cha of 6 and could not repair myslef. I have a wargorged scout psion 5 with psionic repair damage. he let me use default array, and allocate class/feats etc. but that is supposed to be...

    Dwarv & Heavy Armor & Movement

    Unfortunately not, The Barbarian entry specifically mensions Lt and Med Armor. However keep in mind the dwarf is almost as good as human(in terms of speed). a human barbarian wearing breastplate moves at 35' and a dwarven barbarian moves at 30' because the base speed is calculated before the...

    Characters- Ongoing Druid Debate

    The damage is appropriate for the type and size of the animal based on MM tables. I havn't had much contact with black bears v. panda bears, but imo, p/b not a good comparison(deaths caused by x) because there are far more black bears than pandas, and blackbears are more agressive-more to do...

    Stats for Some Weird Weapons

    atlatl-I understood that an atlatl was just a device used to launch a dart(shortspear) a longer distance. perhaps you might just increase the range incx2 or 30' and increase the d 1 step.

    Improved Grab, Grapple, Constrict and -20 penalty.

    I believe it was " every time you initiate a successful grapple check" so yes, but when your opponent tries to escape from the grapple (opposed grapple checks) you do not deal the damage. I also believe the damage is applied after step three of the grapple. So this is how it goes: step one ...

    Anybody knows prestige class's rage stack with barbarian rage?

    If tireless rage is what is appealing, have you considered a warforged barbarian. they get it at first level.

    Anybody knows prestige class's rage stack with barbarian rage?

    When i first read this and thought "Stack" I was thinking strength effects- in which case bear warior does not stack as it is a replacement effect; but yea the times per day stacks. with Frenzied Berzerk it is a "Frenzy" effect not a "rage" so it's uses are seperate, but the bonus to strength...

    duergar invisibility??

    As far as I can tell It is a unique ability of duergar. of course if you use the varrient psionics=magic then you just treat it the same as a spell like ability with the apropriate caster level.

    Quick help: Underwater

    that really doesn't include that many. for example an air elemental. . . an arrowhawk for example would be airbased. anthing else (that needs to land, for example an eagle) would still have the penalty. keep in mind they still do at least 1 pt of damage when they hit. which is why the fish is...

    I played once in a campaign code named "Dusin's Wild Daemonic Beach-Party" where we combated a few swarms of feindish squirls. nuff said. I don't know where he pulled the templet from.
