Note that that should make the Baneful Damage at the very least a (Su) special ability. I still think it would be easier to just give them DR X/Magic, like other dragons. (Note that their breath weapon would still be subject to dragon's DR, unless you explicitly plan to make that magical as...

Hi RR - I posted some comments for you there...

A couple problems I see, for a dragon-hunting dragon: 1) If they only have DR X/bludgeoning, that means their own natural weapons do NOT count as magic! That'll make it very hard for them to get through the real dragon's DR X/magic... 2) A bludgeoning/piercing/slashing breath weapon is not an...

Here's a left-field idea: whenever the dragon hunter takes damage of a specific energy type, it becomes resistant to that many points (cumulative) of that type of energy for the next X minutes. Sure, you can hit him with a fire breathweapon once, but the more you breathe on him, the more...

I too voted "too fast". But I would prefer to look at it from another point of view: it's the size of the incremenets which is too large, not the speed with which they occur. Probably just my point-based vs. level-based bias creeping in again, but I would much rather see regular but minor...

There's a couple of quadrupels out there, actually. I think they are a fairly recent development though. Heck, the "tripel" name stems from the 30's, although the abbeys have always had specialty beers for festive occasions. By the way, Wikipedia has a nice set of pages on trappist beer.

"Only if it wants to". By default, I'd say that your plain vanilla magic sword probably shouldn't be ruined by a little salt water. Then again, I also like differently flavored magic items... Nothing wrong with a sword made from an unknown reddish metal, which reacts to rainwater as if it were...

Hi Zoroaster! Check out the thread on Awakened animals in my sig, complete with LA estimates for various critters. Yes, the Worg is a decent comparison for an Awakened Wolf, so we put the LA at +1.

Just to clarify - most trappist brands these day come in a "dubbel" and "tripel". The dubbel is typically a dark ale or stout, whereas the tripel is typically an amber ale (and stronger than the dubbel). In my younger days in Belgium, I worked my way through the entire trappist menu in my...

Idiots are also good candidates for rambling insane prophecies, of course. ;) Try some Westmalle triple, if you can find it. Chimay is so mainstream. - Belgian expatriat

Depends on how many fire victims you kill, I suppose... What? Don't look at me that way... I didn't design this game! :D

Heh - my thoughts exactly. Note that if you expect a high turnover but would prefer a continuing party, you can actively encourage this type of continuity. Having some type of Annals is not a bad idea. Naming significant magic items after their original PC owner helps too. Backgrounds of new...

Don't forget the high-level Fighter (even better - fallen Paladin) who has turned his back on his violent past and taken up a Vow of Poverty, Vow of Nonviolence, Vow of Silence, etc., and is now voluntarily doing the most menial jobs in the monastery as his own personal penance. I'd say make...

Heh - I think at some time I'm going to have to come up with a grittier, closer-to-the-fairytales Baba Yaga than the demi-goddess you guys are cooking up here. :D Nothing wrong with doing a conversion of yet another classic epic monster, but she's not exactly what I had in mind for a famous...

Huh - I'm surprised that you'd be surprised! :D
