    Req: CR estimate for nastier skeleton

    I was thinking that 1 point of regen per round wouldn't be as effective a CR change on a 16 HD creature as a 1 HD creature. And regeneration is what you need if you want them to be able to reattach bones. The only difference for undead and constructs is that real damage does not get converted...

    D&D 3E/3.5 The impact of revised 3E on monster design

    That wasn't Knight Otu's idea, nor mine for that matter. I would suggest giving giants the fighter BAB, allowing Humanoids 0-3 good saves, and eliminating Monstrous Humanoid. Any differences between minotaurs and hill giants can certainly be reflected in ability scores.

    Req: CR estimate for nastier skeleton

    You mean like ghosts in the form of skeletons? I only see these traits being a significant benefit to the smaller sizes. My guess: Tiny 1/2; Small 1/2; Medium-size 1; Large 1-2; Huge 2-3; _Gargantuan 7; Colossal 9 Blunt damage doesn't necessarily shatter bone. It might just snap it, or even...

    Living Caltrops

    Two methods: Permanancy and Guards & Wards or Craft Wondrous Item feat and Animate Objects spell. Either method comes with an experience point cost of 1,000 per dozen. No more than two dozen can be enchanted in a single session. A dozen warden jacks would have a material and labor cost of...

    D&D 3E/3.5 The impact of revised 3E on monster design

    I've always wondered why Shapechangers was a monster class, and why Animal and Beast could not be combined. I also think Giant, Humanoid & Monstrous Humanoid could be reduced to 2 monster classes instead of three. These are all reasonable changes, but probably irksome to those who've spent many...

    Name this race!

    I would suggest that anyone making up a new name do a Google search on it to see if it's already in use in some other context.

    Bastion - open call for forest monster

    Sounds like a perfect candidate.

    conversions of gods

    That's a good guide for figuring balanced totals, but following it to the letter would probably yield cookie-cutter deities. One could use it to create a deity clone and then apply the ability value chart (table 2-7 in DMG) when giving the deities more character.

    Name this race!

    I don't recall, either. You can always use a variation like "huoro" or "yuoro". Just don't use "uiro", which are Japanese jelly & rice treats eaten with tea.

    Name this race!

    Uoro is nice, but it's the name of a Polynesian sand spirit. Doesn't invoke an image of shaggy bard-sloths for me, but bright beaches and warm sun.

    Garbugs!

    Separate entries for "Garbug, Black" and "Garbug, Violet" would probably be easier to decipher. It doesn't have any extremely weird parts, psionics, magic or high intellect, so I don't see why it couldn't be a Beast. or even just a Vermin if it doesn't do anything clever.

    Name this race!

    Maybe they can spin and weave their hair like Umplebies (relative species?), and even record their spells in the intricate knots of the yarn.

    Name this race!

    Wouldn't this race be more likely to favor sorcerers than wizards, given their tree-hanging lifestyles? Or do they wear sacks on their bellies where they store spell books and components?

    Name this race!

    Dendrizen Combination of "dendros" (L. "tree") and "denizen" or "citizen". Dendroth Combination of "dendros" and "sloth". Or just plain "dendry" in casual (slightly derogatory) use.

    Dire Template

    If I get the monster generators finished, and if Blacksway thinks they'd improve the quality of submissions on his Hombrew site, I'd love to have them hosted there.

    Javascript "Igor"

    My thinking on that was that I'd never get it to the point where the monster wouldn't need to be copied and pasted into a text editor, so I left the text editing tasks to the tool that does it best.

    Dire Template

    Okey Dokey. I don't have ToH yet, so I guess I'll be doing things the primitive way for a while. ;) I wanted to make the Dire template part of a javascript monster maker I'm working on.

    Javascript "Igor"

    I'm making a javascript assistant for making 3e monsters. I have Aberration and Animal pages online, but don't want to program any more monster classes until I get some feedback on accuracy, bugs, and suggested improvements. http://members.aol.com/geocorona/mongen/aberration.html Some...
