On the Wastrilith: A very nice conversion. I've always liked really disgusting, slimy monsters, and that one is a paragon of slimy badness... As I recall, this one is from Paladin in Hell?

Onopko is out of the squad due to an injury :(((((((. The defence is really crippled without him. True. But I'm an optimist, so a 3:0 win over Greece and draws with Spain and Portugal will satisfy me ;). Advancing past the quarterfinals would be a real marvel. France has a fantastic squad and...

Gygax is a widespread last name in Switzerland (do a search for 'Gygax' & see for yourself ;) ), and Gary Gygax must have some Swiss ancestors.

Of two options, I choose the third: gaming the story.

Elixir of Atharaxia Tongue of the Sycophant Supremacist Staff The Hagrazor Belt of Iniquity

During the playtest of The Divine Alligator, the Bad Guy (CR 9, 105 hp) was wiped out by a party of three 7th-level characters enraged by their companion's untimely death in a trap. The fight involved water walking, a 50+ damage critical hit, and a lot of alchemist's fire. It was gross.

Half-dragon and fiendish are certainly my favourites.

First DM's rule in this case: If the PCs travel by ship, the ship will sink. To be serious, there are many possibilities to challenge seafaring adventurers. They could find themselves in the centre of a large battle between merfolk and sahuagin - and take collateral damage from both sites. They...

I think d8 suits the 3.5 ranger quite well. A skirmisher relying on stealth and hit-and-run tactics shouldn't be able to take the same amount of punishment as front-line "shock troops".

The Pandora's Box. Due to a violation of some ages-old prohibition or moral principle, hell is set loose. Fiends walk the land, crops wither, all the elves fall victim to a strange malady, and the king is nowhere to be found. This plot hook is extremely versatile, especially if the trouble is...

2 johnsemlak OT: Small indeed. I could have seen you in the Labyrinth last winter... 2 IanB That's right. The old D&D game had really strange rules for speed, and 60 feet is too high in 3.5 rules. This creature would be faster than a horse!

A very nice conversion. However, although it is not written in the original description, I would replace the knock spell-like ability with dream haunting a la the night hag. As I recall, the malfera was supposed to torment sleepers with nightmarish sights, so this ability would be reasonable...

The Devils, Idiot, Crime and Punishment by Fedor Dostoyevsky. Anna Karenina , The Resurrection by Lev Tolstoy. The Seagull , Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov. The Adventures of Joseph Andrews by Henry Fielding. Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe. Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne. I'm not...

The Speaking People, also known as "elves" in certain backward human communities ;). Nothing to do with mechanics - elves have dominated my imagination since I read The Lord of the Rings.

Negative energy (not necessarily evil) cleric all the way. Although Necromancy has been largely improved in 3.5, a cleric is still much more effective as an undead master, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I don't like undead anyway ;p

Drow rhymes with 'cow'. Period. And it doesn't matter if 99% Russian roleplayers disagree with me ;).

Thank you!!! :) I've been lurking for quite a while here, but decided to step out from the shadows...

In D&D, I voluntarily spend hours and hours reading dust-covered spellbooks and ancient manuscripts. In real life, I can't make myself read a learner's manual even to save my life...
