No, not a "hoo'd win?" thread. When creating a new monster, how do you (or TPTB, or anyone) decide whether it should be an outsider or an elemental? In particular, in MM II, why is the firebat (from the elemental plane of fire) an elemental, while the sylph (from the elemental plane of air)...

*** You should round down in this case, as well as all others unless there's an explicit exception. In MM1 an Ogre (4HD Giant, same feat progression as humanoids*) has one feat. * Provided thay haven't changed it since the Dragon Create a Monster article. *** Thank you, Henrix! This...

That's a fine example, and there are others in the Player's Handbook spells and elsewhere. The one that prompted me to finally ask was from Monster Manual II. It says, for example, that the number of feats a humanoid gets is 1 + 1 per 4 EHD (Extra Hit Dice). I also think rounding up in this...

I.E., does it round up or down? If an entry says something like "1 time per 4 levels," does that mean zero times for levels 1, 2, and 3; 1 time for levels 4, 5, 6, and 7; 2 times for levels 8, 9, 10, 11; and so on? Or does it mean: 1 time for levels 1-4, 2 times for levels 5-8, 3 times for...

Thanks, Henrix. The Spectrum Rider

I can't think of any reason why a natural werebear and a celestial couldn't mate, producing a half-celestial lycanthrope (which would probably be considered as templates on a commoner human). The Spectrum Rider

The description of "Protection From Evil" makes reference to "summoned or conjured creatures (see the Monster Manual)." Does the MM actually say anything about this? Because I can't din it. The spell vaguely implies that it's talking about (among other things) elementals and outsiders. My...

Does anyone know of a good gaming sourcebook that describes various kinds of boats and ships - not just their speeds and carrying capacities, but actual diagrams of the vessels? Something that can be easily integrated into AD&D 3rd Edition would be best. Thanks in advance, The Spectrum Rider

I'm a gay gamer and DM; I designed the campaign world my group plays in, and I DM it most (but not all) of the time. None of my players are gay. They all know I'm gay (I've been with my partner for 20 years, sometimes I can't make a game because I'm going to the Gay Pride March - the kind of...

In my campaign, each monk must be the follower of some (lawful) deity. Then we tweak the monk somewhat to match that deity's aspects. Whenever the monk would acquire a class ability, the player can ask the DM to substitute a more appropriate one. For example, a monk of Varan (the god of True...

Thanks! Spec

Or, for that matter, a giant lynx. I can scale down.... :) The Spectrum Rider

Normal lynx, please. The Spectrum Rider

I'm looking for a 3rd-Edition lynx, either converted from an old version or newly created. Anybody got one? Thanks, The Spectrum Rider
