    Can a Lich with Druid levels Shapeshift?

    I was just pondering this the other day as a possible campaign villain. Although most Liches would be Sorcerers or Wizards, I don't see any requirements of becoming a Lich which state that a Druid can't become a Lich. At least in the SRD (which is the only source I have in front of me, I'm not...

    What happened to E-Tools? Future Products?

    Thanks Henry and and amethal. I'll have to look into getting a subscription. I've been coming here for ages. This is one of the few websites I can forget about for awhile, and then come back to later... and discover that it's still the same old "Enworld" that I know and love :) I'd probably...

    What happened to E-Tools? Future Products?

    Well, I recently got back into D&D after a very very long break. When I did, it was time to dust off good old E-Tools and reinstall it. One problem though, I was missing some datasets! Well, I took a trip to Code Monkey Publishing... only to discover... They lost the license for WotC...

    Looking for a monster

    "Slaymate"? Is that from BoVD? Whatever source it's from... that is just vile. What an evil name for an evil-sounding creature. I hope it's more interesting than just a zombie-kid.

    Darkness

    Excellent point. I figured it should work that way, but couldn't find the rules which say that. The Darkness spell doesn't mention it. Yeah, you're right. But as a Tiefling I have it constantly available for free, so I'm just thinking up creative ways to use it. I paid a +1 ECL to play a...

    Looking for a monster

    Well, that could be a lot of things. Succubi have an "Alter Self" ability, that in the 3.0 rules could be used to an effect similar to that.

    Darkness

    Essentially, yes. Wondering if I've got it right now. On further consideration... What if you have two archers that are on opposite sides of a "Darkness" effect. Neither one of them are within the spell's area of effect, but their lines of sight pass through the spell area. Since they're...

    Charm Monster/ Prot Evil/ Dominate

    Well, you've kind of skipped over the fact that "including enchantment (charm) effects" is explicitly mentioned. "effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject" is a description of "(compulsion)" in the sentence. You can divide it out. a) enchantment (charm) effects b)...

    Charm Monster/ Prot Evil/ Dominate

    Not true, Protection from Evil protects from both ongoing control and effects like charm. What would happen is this: Protection from Evil would suppress the effects of both Charm Monster and Dominate Person. As long as the effect of Protection from Evil remains in effect, neither of these...

    Ignoring DR with an unarmed attack

    What kind of DR are you trying to bypass? Magic Fang can get you past Magic DR. I don't believe there is anything you can do to bypass material DR types (silver, cold iron, adamant, etc) I DO believe there are ways to allow an unarmed strike to bypass Lawful, Chaotic, Good, and Evil DR, but I...

    fey'ri

    Yes, and this is one reason I don't like the 3.5 version of "Alter Self" which made it such that you can only transform into things of the same "type" as yourself. It basically means that humans can't use "Alter-Self" to make them looked like any planetouched race (outsider) and vis-versa. The...

    Darkness

    I think I may have been using the "Darkness" spell incorrectly. Would others please share their insight? I have been ruling the "Darkness" effect as a sort of dark, impenetrable fog. If you have "Darkness" cast on you, you are essentially blind (unless you have a means to see through it)...

    Tumble Question... /sigh

    Three tumble checks. I'm assuming that the player is tumbling to avoid AoO on 2 Orcs, and then through the middle Orc's square. Tumble DC15 - Tumble past Orc1 without provoking AoO. Tumble DC27 - Tumble through Orc2's square. (with an additional +2 for tumbling past an additional opponent...

    Energy substitution

    I should have ammended my text to WAS. I was simply trying to clarify that originally, Sonic WAS in fact allowed. Your text seemed to indicate that Sonic was never an option, and I was merely attempting to explain where the original Sonic subsitution came from. I haven't re-purchased all my...

    Energy substitution

    Sonic IS allowed. In the original text source of the feat (I believe it is the Forgotten Realms Campaign guide or the Magic of Faerun guide I first saw it in... I cannot remember) the feat specifically lists "Sonic" as one of the types of energy that may be substituted. I have heard that it...

    More Players = More Monsters or Tougher Monsters?

    I would strongly disagree with giving characters Stronger monsters at low level, and I would use MORE monsters instead. STRONG Monsters at low levels can kill players in one hit, they have enough hit points so that they take multiple hits to take down, and they may have a high AC that the...

    Basing tips?

    Thanks a lot for the tips! If you just GLUE the reaper mini to the top of a base, how do you make the base look like it is not a "base on top of a base" without using Greenstuff? This is what I'd assumed I'd need greenstuff for - that and gap filling, like you'd described if I cut into the base.

    Basing tips?

    Hey everyone. I have all these minis, and I'm getting pretty good at painting, but I've never done any basing. I have a ton of minis that are already painted that I could get to work on. I've read a few tutorials... pogre's is great... I wish the pictures worked. I don't have any supplies for...

    Non-Metal Metallics

    This is what I'm currently doing. I played around with NMM and looked a t lot of NMM minis and I just like using the metallic paints better. I play around with mixing though, and the results usually look nice (I'm still new at it) pogre's tips sound great too
