[/list] Good, that makes this discussion easier I think. Which is their Favored Class, and what we're trying to balance it against according to the Core Rules, right? Aside from the Sorcerer, let's go back to the Rogue you bring up. They get an additional -2 Str over a Halfling, so in...

Sweet! And speedy delivery, too! Yo da man! :cool: Thanks! :D DrSpunj

Aside from the Core Book Abbreviations, along with some of the more popular books from WotC and other publishers (here I'm thinking R&R or RRI, CC1, etc.), here's some of the top of my head and quickly scanning the SRD: 3.0, 3.5, 3.xBABDR (damage reduction)WebFogFlyRayScrySM and SNA (for summon...

Last night my 4th level party fought the Troglodytes and Brown Bear in the Forge of Fury. While the Trogs were nothing more than window dressing (except for their sickening stench) the Brown Bear proved to be a significant challenge, but a couple questions came up during the battle. The Bear...

The Search function is awesome. I find myself using it fairly regularly in the Rules forum and occasionally in the House Rules forum as well. However, time and again I am frustrated and thwarted by the "word must be at least 4 letters" requirement. This has prevented me just now from doing...

Being one of those "ENWorld reading" players, and since you chimed in on my thread in the Rules forum on this very subject... With +2 Dex, +2 Int, 30' mv, Darkvision 90', +3 Natural Armor, +2 Search, +2 Listen this Kobold makes a better Rogue than the Halfling, IMO. The drawbacks vs a...

Ooo! Combat Reflexes is a good one. I went with Ability Focus for the Poison DC and Weapon Focus(Bite) to help actually land some hits. For the last I ended up going with Improved Natural Armor for a little more survivability, but it's likely to get wasted pretty fast (even with the DR 5/magic...

Oh, there may be a random chance. Sorry, I'm not trying to pick nits or anything. It's certainly not gamebreaking (at least, it wasn't IMC when I gave the 1st level party the Hoardmaster sword from Gorgoldand's Gauntlet), and as you say...it's fun! :D BTW, hope the dice gods are kinder to the...

I think this statement (also appearing on MM pg. 291 under the Size and Type heading) is pretty explicit: such a creature loses the Vermin Traits and picks up the Magical Beast Traits. Now, I didn't realize it this afternoon as I glanced at this thread, but this very question came up for me...

It's a +1 Special Ability, so the smallest available, and yet according to Core rules that would have to be placed upon a warhammer with at least a +1 enhancement bonus. That's a total bonus of +2, which is 8,000 gp, which is just about all of a 5th level PCs wealth, so they don't start showing...

IMC I do something similar. Each type of potion has it's own Symbol/Rune/Glyph on the outside of its container. These are universal among all practitioners of magic, as deemed by the god/dess of Magic. Anyone screwing with a symbol and/or misrepresenting the contents of a container is very...

No sweat. A quick search at switchboard.com leads me to believe it's Mayhem Collectibles. They had everything, though I don't buy anything, so I don't remember if it was retail or cheaper. Regal Hobbies also carries quite a bit of RPG stuff, a ton of minis supplies (mostly for wargaming) and...

Well, IIRC, that ended up being an Enlarge Person potion, we weren't in the thick of combat (though we were as close as you could come otherwise, having just run from one battle and headed down into the next), and the dwarf was then nearly too big to squeeze through the tunnel and stairwells...

For weapons & armor with funky abilities, and most wondrous items, I tend to agree; experimentation can be a lot of fun. However, with potions and other single-use items there's always the concern you're going to waste it, so it usually just gets put in the backpack until you find someone that...

Hey! If you'd like to some evening let me know and you can play IMC if you'd like. We're always happy to have another gamer, even if it's just for a single evening cameo. Nail & the rest of the company would have to extend the vote to Nail's game, of course. Anyway, here's the only two stores I...

And if we live long enough to be able to cast a 6th level spell, I'm sure that will be true. However, Gina is playing the Druid in Nail's party we've (meaning you as well, jg :) ) been discussing in other threads, so levels currently range from 4th through 6th. I know there are times when an...

YMMV, of course, but I take the phrase that Legildur quoted a bit differently. "When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats, spells, or abilities." I think means: "When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any...

I agree with that and use it in my games as well, however, Nail allows a generous 36 point buy for stats, and I'd agree with him that the difference between us and a similar 6 PC party made with only 25-point buy is significant enough to merit another +1 APL. He's been building encounters...

Well, as the DM, you are privy to a lot more information to base your decision on. As the player in question, given that I took the Wizard level at character level 2, the familiar and I have had 3 "levels" to figure out a system that works for us, so I would hope we would've worked out all the...

Actually we're spread out a bit more than that, class-wise. The Rgr4 is actually a Rgr3/Wiz1 Archer, and the Rog5 is a Rog4/Sor1 (this is one of the Kobolds from my other thread). The Pal4 is also a Kobold, and he's our only true frontliner right now. So imagine our dismay as an APL 7 party...
