Ahhh the memories! I had Warduke and Strongheart, Northlord and Ogre King, but I always assumed the later two were some forgotten line of He-Man figures. Man though, if I were Melf or Melf's original player I'd kill myself, or the designer of the toy line!

Hey Gary, I remember toys for DnD/DnD cartoon around the time of the show, with a villan on a nightmare that was most certainly Vengar. But I also remember a bearded and mustached hero in thick plate armor with a horse, any chance you remember who or what that toy was?

Honestly, though most people shudder at the idea, just take your first level as rogue. That gives you a ton of base abilities and a good personality base, and sneak attack doesn't hurt either. If you want to forgo that route, a level of Bard gives you a decent set of social skills, some music...

When this last came up in our game, the DM applied a -2 to -4 circumstance penalty to the save, and it seemed to work rather well. If the conditions were something like the last example with the troll, the DM rolled a chance to break the spell but gave the troll a penalty on that check. I...

Well, there is another 2nd level spell specifically meant for detecting traps (Find Traps, PHB, lets you search as a rogue does), so I probably would have handled it on the spot just as you did. Now that said, if you wanted to give a bit more leeway/common sense approach but not make it silly...

At work unable to do some research, so I'm throwing myself on the mercy of the rules lawyers: Can Lycanthropes use all normal items in hybrid form? Would an Amulet of Mighty Fists enhance the attacks of a Lycanthrope? (if not, what does other than Greater Magic Fang? And is there an itemized...

2. Ring of Counterspells with dispel magic in it, or alternatively use a counterspell action to stop the dispel.

The Gladiator in S&F has it as a class ability, and I know people have made it a feat from the ability.

I bought the WotC one. It isn't bad, but is page light, flavor light, and not particularly inspired. While it has some fairly neat weapons in it, and the rules are acceptable, it just lacks anything inspiring, memorable, etc. It really likes like "Forgotten pages of the DMG", with the...

If it says under the werewolf description then you are correct Felix. Also, if you added the template as you listed, then yes, you would need 10th level exp to level up as of Races of Faerun.

Honestly, after putting so much time and effort into a PC, ANY PC I play, I wouldn't want to start back at 1st again. Starting at 1 level lower than the lowest in the party, or at the lowest in the party feels like punishment enough for a death (even if it was a death I was smart about and just...

Well, you know a topic is dead to honest discussion the moment someone yells facist.

Thanks MerricB, I know I saw it somewhere other than those locations, but at least I know I wasn't hallucinating now.

I'd say turning the cohort against the PC wouldn't be fair, basically he's burning a feat to gain an ally, turning that ally against him not only would be a betrayal of someone he thought was loyal, but also cost him a feat (even if he later gets a good cohort, he wasted time and levels when he...

That's how I do it too. As long as they have the requirements met through any means, they have access to the feats. I've wondered if this might bite me in the rear at some point, but so far the rule has held true and worked well. Specifically for skill points, if an int enhancing item is worn...

That was basically exactly what I meant. Honestly I could change monsters if I was so inclined, but I'd rather avoid that situation entirely, and just use the book ones for some encounters. As I said in my first post, my only complaint with players having and using the MM is characters...

Well, if they've memorized the monster stats, so be it, ideally I wish they didn't, but I also can't control that. But I don't believe players should have access to every single monster statistic specifically because metagaming almost always rear's it's ugly head. In an ideal world (or...

Well remember, DnD is a game that doesn't really trust DM's to make balanced decisions on their own, it instead codifies the rule system to a point where if you just use the default system as it is written, things will be balanced on their own. That is the idea behind 3.5, the basic rules as...

I allow them to have copies of any monster they'll be using, and have the book on their person if they so desire. But woe betide the player checking monster stats on something they're currently fighting, that's a BIG taboo move. Summoning comes up often enough I tend to go leniently on players...

This is what my post 2 up was talking about: Except that allowing that with Signature spell means that you need 3 feats to achieve that combination, and on top of that, you'd need to use your spell mastery with each and every one of your Thematic spells to make it work. That is in relation to...
