    Shield Other Maximum Targets?

    Do we have a ruling on whether the [type] of damage carries over to the spellcaster? If, for example, your Troll cohort is a cleric and casts Shield Other on you, and you receive [fire] damage, does it do normal damage to said Troll or nonlethal?

    Suggestions for running the Forge of Fury?

    My players, who can always be counted upon to use out-of-game knowledge when it benefits them, saw the creature which figures prominently on the front cover of the module and prepared themselves to deal with it. I fooled them, though. I substituted an Abyssal Dire Toad for the big bad guy...

    Good PC fantasy RPGs

    That is why I used the GoGamer link in the first place GoGamer has a history of offering the European (English) version of games for sale in the USA before a US version is available here. You should be able to order it from them today and get it delivered by Friday for $1.99 shipping. Hopefully.

    Damn GoGamer times out their links after a while. Not the first time I have gotten burned trying to link directly to a game for sale there. Oh well. Search for "Seal of Evil" at GoGamer. Asian Medieval RPG. Not that terribly reviewed, too.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Thoughts on converting BoBS to 3.5 (inc Spoilers)

    Party levels Nope, they know not. Each character receives their periodic experience point amounts in secret, either via e-mail or delivered by hand by me. There is a three-level difference between the highest and the lowest, as a result of old-school resurrections and roleplaying differences...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Thoughts on converting BoBS to 3.5 (inc Spoilers)

    Oh, and I also increased Ammet's Hit Dice DelKain, please go no further... Spoilers in my campaign coming... Comparing 3.0 Balor to Ammet, he was increased by 6 HD from 13 to 19. Last night, I decided that 3.5 Ammet should reflect this advancement as well, so I advanced...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Thoughts on converting BoBS to 3.5 (inc Spoilers)

    Just re-checked the Half-Dragon CR in the Monster Manual P. 147: Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature +2 (minimum 3). It is Level Adjustment that is +3, and although I would love to run Ammet as my own personal character, I just can't envision the DM who is about to allow that to happen...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Thoughts on converting BoBS to 3.5 (inc Spoilers)

    My updated NPCs My party is almost 1/3 of the way through BoBS. They consist of: (omitting levels in case they are reading this) A Wererat Halfling Rogue A Cleric/Contemplative/Saint A Wizard/Air Elemental Savant A Hound Archon Barbarian/Paladin (don't ask) A Dwarven Fighter who is almost...

    shapechanging lich - gains CON or not?

    Being the DM involved with this Lich, I will tell you that by my way of thinking, the Lich's Phylactery is the wildcard in the equation. It is not affected by the Polymorph nor by a Shapechange, and it is IT which houses the soul of the Lich. Therefore, it is the Phylactery which causes him to...

    Rationale behind Cleric not getting Cat's Grace

    The designers have stated that each spellcasting class was given the stat buffs that they would be most likely to want to cast upon themselves. Clerics are the only pure casters with access to Heavy Armor, and therefore Dexterity is less important to them than the other stats.

    Feat: Assume Supernatural Ability (SS) and the Beholder

    OK, so we have one for, one against, and... ...one vote for "no confidence". Anyone else care to weigh in? I am fairly sure my DM will laugh at me (and rightly so) unless I have more than an "n" of 3 in my sample group. Thanks everyone!

    Feat: Assume Supernatural Ability (SS) and the Beholder

    Does the fact that all 10 can be used in the same round as one standard action... ...make a difference? Unless they were meant to be treated as a single ability, that would violate the rule-of-thumb "one Supernatural ability per round".

    Feat: Assume Supernatural Ability (SS) and the Beholder

    Re: Re: Feat: Assume Supernatural Ability (SS) and the Beholder OK, but you would agree that it is your interpretation that all 10 rays are only grouped together to avoid excessively duplicating text, right? For if that were so, it would be done that way for all other monsters that have...
