Hate to be the pedant, but don't ability arrays for creatures with more than 1 racial HD (like archfiends) include the increases from class levels/hd up to their base racial HD already?

Hold on, what?

I've been mulling this over for a while, and there's one thing I have to ask Celebrim: How do those feats interact with caster characters who aren't multiclassed into other roles, but have prestige classes that lose caster levels, like the Elemental Savant or Blood Magus? Those feats seem to be...

Quah-Nomag is only a level 10 solo? I think you are selling him a little short. But nice conversion regardless. Joy in Dying looks wicked.

Every day in this thread, I will post 3.5 stats for a creature or NPC. I tend towards high CR monsters, but sub-epic ones. Eventually, I may begin to take requests; feel free to make suggestions or criticise. Index: Next: Izzadrux, Gelugon Guerilla

I like the sound of those feats, Celebrim, and anything that cuts down on the proliferation of redundant PRCs is good in my eyes, but how is it a feature that they end up making you less powerful than a Mystic Theurge? I'd say it's been shown pretty conclusively that outside of abusive "tricks"...

I'm not Sep, but the way I see it, your error is that Salient Divine Abilities aren't analogous to feats. The deity doesn't get to pick what it gets, it just gets appropriate ones as determined by the DM (If the deity were a PC, there should probably be some player input, but they should never...

I suppose you never know what could come slithering out of Uzzhin. Either that, or things like a couatl's Psionic SLAs need to be warded off separately from normal SLAs.

At some point down the line, could we see the new Shomei? She's probably my favorite NPC.

What? Sure it does. If you have Ultimate Power, you can use the Gadgets power (Rank 2-4 should do nicely, depending on how powerful you're willing to allow a "utility belt gadget" to be), and if you don't, you can put some ranks of flawed Adaption or Nemesis in a Hard to Lose Device for...

That's also true, although that's mostly level-independent. Although (or perhaps "also",) I find that a more consequence-oriented game tends to emerge naturally once power levels get high. That's far from the only way to play, though.

I'm sorry if this doesn't seem particularly constructive, but really, I think this thread is more or less useless until you provide more information. Each epic level group is unique, and each epic game has its own balance dynamic. To know what's an appropriate challenge for your group, we need...

Although personally, I'd say a +4 (or 5) bane weapon of the appropriate type would do it, since it has an effective enhancement bonus of +6 against its target.

Outside of Dragon, you're out of luck. From the Wizards Character Optimization boards Chameleon Guide: If they don't know any other ways to enter Chameleon by level 6 without 3rd-party material, there aren't any. There is the option of the Changeling Warshaper/Chameleon, though, which loses...

Hm... as I remember, there's a Wood Element template in the manual of the planes. Maybe he'd allow that as an alternative to a fiendish or celestial familiar? The "abuse" with Earth Glide (which isn't abuse at all, just a power PCs generally don't have access to) isn't transferring touch...

I'm torn. On one hand, it is as you say: No other familiar gets this kind of nerf, and if it's not even consistent with the SRD, it's probably an accident. Besides, from an in-character perspective it makes no sense. On the other hand, even if it is accidental, it might be a good thing. Having...

Personally I think player access to divinations is incredibly useful to the DM. It is almost always worse for the game if the players know too little than if they know too much, and divinations help reveal background information, points baffled PCs in the right direction, and gives you an out to...

This is in the wrong forum, should be in "Plots and Places." Great idea, though. In fact, I'd like to explore it. Who made the list and why? How do the PCs know it's genuine? Should they be trying to find other ways to avert the threat than killing whoever's name pops up? Or maybe it works...

Impressive... How did they do it?

I'm running a 3.5 game right now where I just don't give out magical loot. Well, that's not quite true. There's still wands and potions, and on one adventure, the characters swindled Old Man Winter out of his magic staff. So I guess I give out very little magical loot, and never "just because."...
