Does Ptolus count as Fluff ?

My group has an NPC barbarian and this is exactly what we do. He carries his weight in combat(probably more than most of the players since there is no fighter-type) so no one complains. I never calculate EL because it doesn't matter for experience, only for party survivablity. I just design...

designing one or the actual labor of constructing it ?

What about non-standard races ? Pixie Rogue maybe, or something else that has SR built-in. Mind flayer sorc? :o

Note: The players character has not fought a drowned, we were merely flipping through books looking at monsters when I noticed the Drowning Aura and was like "Holy @$#% ! +17 grapple check + 20HD + increasing con check ?!? Buh-bye casters. Also, its not *just* the drowning aura, lots of Su...

One of my players is arguing that since the Drowning Aura is listed as a special attack and is a supernatural ability, it requires a standard action to activate. It seems to me that an 'aura' is a constant/continuous effect. Which of us is right ? Quotations please as he's very insistent on...

As a DM I would allow a bard PC to maintain two at once. One song/poem, and one instrumental (that didnt require the mouth to use, so no flutes). Or if the character was an Ettin, I'd let two songs and two instruments that could be used one-handed. Or that CR 17 thing in FF? that can do two...

For someone who doesnt have any psionics books, can you explain what you just said in 50 words or less? :D

It depends, Does it make her look fat? if Yes, draw arrow to Bluff(The target wants to believe you. circumstance modifier -5) if No, draw arrow to..Languages Known: Common.

Searing Light and Bolt of Glory are all i found in the SRD, i'm sure there are some in the spell compendium. Each deals different damage depends on the creature type though. Acid Arrow is a ranged touch attack, not a ray though. Ray of Frost? Acid Splash? Fire Seeds kinda sorta.

It certainly has uses, but I'd hardly call it balanced with other 8th level spells. You could have a whole range of the same spell from 3rd to 8th, the only difference being the max damage die because of what level they are. There's nothing that polar ray does that it couldn't be a 2nd or 3rd...

cone of cold is a , well, Cone, though. Polar Ray is a single target. I ask about polar ray mainly because I have a player who wants to research a 3rd level spell that'll do cold damage, and was looking at the damage cap stuff and didnt really see any reason not to just remove it entirely. It...

Whats the point of these damage caps really, just to make low level spells unviable at high level?

Title says it all, link for easy reference

Because you have to concentrate on not getting hit, so you end up moving a little slower in the time alloted? Kind of like say, Indiana Jones trying to tumble underneath some trap, he might have to wait a second before he can roll. The rogue might be waiting for the opponent to finish swinging...

except with the longer duration of mage armor, you set your CL high enough and you're only casting in a few times a day, which combat-wise the same as having it always on, what are the odds your 8 hour duration spell expires in the 1 minute of combat that you have ?

Just buy some robes +4 and be done with it. You get a +4 armor bonus with no armor check/spell failure. Regardless of whatever item you end up wanting to create, your DM is going to have to approve it and tell you what you actually make. Trying to create an equivalent to bracers of armor +4 for...

Maybe this has already been mentioned, but I recall there being differences between male and female characters in 2nd edition as far as max strength, or maybe that was only the gold box games, can't remember. something like, human male max str was 18(00) but human female max str was 18(75) or...

I saw that right after I posted, doh! A mention in the bracers of armor entry would be handy though : )

and relevant parts highlighted. Its a bit obtuse to be sure.
