    Anyone know if Ilya Astrakhan is still illustrating?

    My CGI work would not really be interesting to you guys. It's mostly car stuff. Stuff like this 2010 Lincoln MKX Information & Pricing | The Official Site of Lincoln MKX | Lincoln.com and this 2009 Lincoln Navigator Information & Pricing | The Official Site of the Lincoln Navigator |...

    Anyone know if Ilya Astrakhan is still illustrating?

    I haven't done any illustration for a long time now. Good for the soul, no for the money. Commercial CGI is pretty much all I do now. Ilya.

    Military tactics vs. high-level spellcasters

    hm I normally lurk, but this thread is being so unfair to wizards, that I feel compelled to throw my two cents in. There is an unspoken assumption here that wizards will engage the actual troops. That's nonsense, they have no reason to do so. Defeating an army by inflicting 98% casualty rate...

    How would you aducate this anti-dragon tactic?

    hm 1. Why not put the wall right in front of the dragon as it's moving? There is no save, so he couldn't prevent it from forming like the wall of ice. 2. Dragon will likely hit the wall, bounce, and crash to the ground (he doesn't have enough altitude to recover from a stall). If it has...

    Increasing turning check

    Hello, I'm looking for modifiers to improve a turning/charisma check (not turning damage, not turning level). 3.5 core and "complete" books only. (no FR stuff, no race books) So far I have... Eagle's splendor/cloak of charisma +varies enhancement Circlet of Persuasion +3 competence Luckstone...

    Can only be hit by magical weapons.....

    hm It's now called "damage reduction". If you're nostalgic for "can only be harmed by magical weapons", incorporeal creatures still have that mechanic. Personally, I find the "sorry, you must have this many plusses on your weapon to ride this dungeon" rule of previous editions silly. Werewolf...

    Ring of Maximized Fire Ball?

    hm Heighten spell is the exception to "metamagic doesn't actually increase the level of the spell" rule. Heightened spells *are* higher level, have higher DCs, and require higher ability score to cast than their non-heightened counterparts. A charm person heightened to 5th level will get...

    A bit of Russian help for a character

    hm Little Brother I think "bratik" might also work. Wolf's Eye "Glaz volka" is very literal (wolf's eye). If you want a more dramatic "eye of the wolf" - "Oko volka" has more of the old russian vernacular feel to it.

    Question about Death Ward

    hm It also protects from harm and inflicts.

    Russian Speech Pattern Assistance requested (John Semlak or other)?

    Russians don't have a "th" sound, so they use "z" instead. "Zis bredd is stail" "Wot iz zis?" "Hoo arrr yu?" Russian constonants are hard and pronounced. Russian "h" sounds a lot like english "h", except that it's a lot more pronouced. Exhale sharply as you're saying it, like before...

    Monks and DR/epic

    What is a "general" +6 enhancement? A +4 bane weapon used against an appropriate creature type becomes a +6, and thus cuts through epic DR. At least that's how I understand it. p.s. Yep, summoning solars ain't as cheap as it used to be. Damn these increased long distance summoning rates..

    Monks and DR/epic

    hm Anyone can buypass epic damage reduction for a low price of 200,000. Step one: +4 weapon. Step two: Put six bane enhancements on it. That should cover a lot of epic encounters. Gating in solars should cover the remaining ones.

    Wildshape + Animal Growth =/= huge size

    hm And what does this have to do with this discussion? I'm not arguing that wildshape and animal growth are identical. They're clearly not. That said, animal growth has a "size increases through magic do not stack" clause that in my opinion prohibits increasing druid's size further. How does...
