    Help Me Price This Item: Sack of Monkeys

    I'd give it the same cost, with a 1% chance per use of getting the Avenging Monkey: Base 4hd Awakened Dire Monkey (Medium), Half-Fiend Monk 5/Sorcerer6 (Fireballs!)

    How would you suggest capturing fiends alive.

    Wands of Dimensional Anchor- these would seem to be a staple. Wands rather than scrolls as the fiend-hunters might need to burn a few charges to overcome spell resistance. You don't say how powerful the fiends or the characters are, so it is hard to give more advice than that.

    Help Me Price This Item: Sack of Monkeys

    Poor monkeys! Just be careful; one day you'll pull out a bit of fur and it will turn into the avenging monkey from hell, with levels!

    Why don't clerics get Fox's Cunning or Cat's Grace?

    This is what we do- our gods of magic, for example, usually have INT instead of STR.

    invisibility vs. dispel magic

    LOL! Tough love: Sneak attacking your new-found chum to remind him to quit carrying around the gold that should be yours; and you stay invisible!

    How do you handle rolling for HP?

    d4 reroll 1s d6 reroll 1&2s d8 rr 1-3 d10 rr 1-4 d12 rr 1-5 HPs are the only random increase from level to level. We decided to take some of the risk out for the higher HD folks. Nothing like the Wizard picking up 4hps and 2nd level spells while the Fighter gets 1hp and no feat!

    Looking for good multiclass warrior-type

    If Barbarian is only for two levels, you started as a Barbarian (and Chaotic), realized the error of your ways, became Lawful and lived in a monestary for a while.

    More on Race and ECL

    This is a bit similar to rugbyman's post, but I wanted to make a new thread because I want opinions on how to go about this. First, the problems we want to solve: A) We are basically building an Underdark campaign, and many many creatures are very powerful as just the base creature. The...

    CR estimation for monster (Erywin & Backbeat stay out!)

    Hmmm, the low ac hurts, but lots of resistances teamed up with fast heal makes up for that a bit. It seems to have lots of little things (blindsense, slippery floors, reduced flank penalty/50% no crit or sneak) that will make things tricky for the party. And it has a built in range attack and...

    Could you please list sourcebooks that have Shadow-related magic, templates (other than Book of Templates), races, rules, etc etc.? Thanks!

    Best High HP Skill Class

    Can you convince your DM that the skill list of your race should be added to any other class you chose? Sahuagin has Spot as a racial skill...

    Faerie Fire & Hide in Plain Site

    Cool, thanks. I look forward to posting over there and seeing what you think. But that is for tomorrow or tuesday. Meanwhile, what do you think of the FF proposal, where you do effectively conceal the illimumination but with a minus to your HIPS (that is, the character can try to HIPS while...

    Best High HP Skill Class

    Grrr. Don't have my books handy, but I seem to recall that there is a 'Giantish' race/class with a decent skill list. You take a level of Giant, get +1BAB and I think d10HD and other cool stuff. I'm thinking this might be in Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed? Or I saw it within 15 minutes of...

    How do you handle death?

    Oh, I seem to have scanned this wrong. I thought he meant that losing a point of Con was worse, therefore the BEST penalty to use! I guess I'm lucky that the main player I discuss rules with is also a DM, so we try to find a way that makes sense from both perspectives.

    How do you handle death?

    I think it boils down to- how much do you want overcoming death to complicate the flow of the game? IMC, we're all for the 'one-time permanent penalty and get on with it' branch and it works for us. Others might want extra tasks or experience formulas to allow the dedeathed to catch back up...

    Faerie Fire & Hide in Plain Site

    I'm inclined to say yes. But I'm also inclined to say that trying to hide with that level (5' radius, dim) of illumination would give you a -2 (and willing to listen to other ideas on this exact number) to your HIPS roll. Oh- Hypersmurf or any other long-time poster that would otherwise reply...

    Faerie Fire & Hide in Plain Site

    Please note: FF isn't bright enough to overcome the pre-condition of HIPS: being within 10' of a shadow other than yours. If you had Daylight cast on you, HIPS wouldn't work (unless there was a lightsource brighter than full daylight!!!); but since FF wouldn't dispell the nearby shadow that you...
