    Converting Monsters from Polyhedron Magazine

    If I may stick my pedantic nose in this.... Chocolaty Goodness (Su): Any living creature that takes a good-sized bite out of a chocodeva gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects plus 1d8 temporary hit points for a period of 1 hour. The duration stacks if a...

    Kickstarter Too many Kickstarter projects? Is Kickstarter the new d20 glut?

    I joined three Kickstarter projects: Order of the Stick, Rappan Athuk, and Journeys to the West. I probably would not have joined if there was no name recognition for me. I'd rather gamble on the quality of a unknown source that was already completed from an e-retailer (RPGNow.com and...

    Eric "Shade" Jansing (1971-2012)

    I am shocked to hear this sad news. While I rarely post here, I've been reading the monster entries for years. I learned so much from reading the entries and the process that was discussed. My condolences to his family and friends. Debby

    D&D 3E/3.5 New D&D 3.5 monster: The Hill Hopper PEACH

    Black text on a black background is tough on the eyes. Some of your stats seem off and it clearly needs to be proofread and edited. I'm not sure if this is an amalgam of 3.5 and Pathfinder since it has skills like perception and stealth rather than Spot and Listen. Is the jump bonus +1 or +10...

    Review of Adventure-a-Week.com & Crypt of the Sun Lord (free module!)

    Sadly, the free opening adventure contains too many typos for me to want to plunk down $99 a year.

    XP for mountain climbing and other dangerous skill checks?

    I think it would depend upon how much of the mountain climbing constitutes an "encounter." Normally, experience isn't giving out for making a successful check. However, I have known some DMs who do hand out out bonus XP for such things. If the mountain-climbing is integral to the encounter and...

    Phoenix Stats?

    Here are the updated Phoenix stats from the Accessory Update on WotC's site. [This isn't the errata but the update to 3.5 a free product in the Archives] Phoenix : Magical Beast; 10 ft./5 ft.; DR 15/magic & cold iron; Concentration +25, Diplomacy +28, Knowledge (arcana) +27, Knowledge...

    Conversion: Encyclopedia of Demons and Devils

    I still see a couple of problems. First, it only has 3 feats and it should have 4. Ambidexterity isn't a feat in 3.5. It should have Power Attack as a prerequisite to Cleave. Also, advancement is off. Creatures normally gain a size when they double their hit dice. It looks like advancement...

    D&D 3E/3.5 No Page 42 in 3.5, so how much damage does Create Water do to a Salt Mephit?

    Not liking, even loathing something, doesn't necessarily mean it causes damage. However, since you want to make these even easier to defeat, you could house rule that it takes at least two gallons of water to melt a salt mephit (much like Dorothy throwing water on the Wicked Witch of the West)...

    Another way to describe a monster

    Visually, these are superb. As a reader of monsters, I absolutely adore the visual addition. As a DM, I'm concerned that some of the vital information isn't immediately noticable. I would absolutely love to see more of these. For an entire monster manual to be presented that way, might be...

    PotC: Davy Jones

    After reading the Seaclaimed Template, I decided to make up my own version of Davy Jones based on it while keeping as faithful to the movie as the rules allow. Davy Jones, Captain of the Flying Dutchman Medium Seaclaimed Humanoid, Aquatic [Cursed Augmented Human] Sea Ranger 4/ Dread Pirate 8...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Kroot for Dungeons and Dragons 3.5?

    Hmm. While I appreciate all the effort you went through to convert these, it seems you need a little assistance with balance. There is a lot to the kroot so it is more likely that you need to make a basic kroot without any embellishments and then give them the supernatural ability to absorb...

    Haunts - How would you run them?

    Has spoilers I haven't tried running the module yet but I was definitely concerned about all the saves that need to be made. It's supposed to be designed for levels 4-6, but I think that may be pushing it for level 4, especially since the haunted house really is designed with 6 PCs in mind...

    All good things come to an end...

    I swear I recently saw this on the t.v. show Supernatural! I think it's something that should be limited. I would hate to have one member of a party gain all the benefits for an extended period of time. A while back, I statted up Falkor, the luck dragon from the Neverending Story. I think...

    The words of the prophets are written on the restroom walls...

    That is truly hilariious! Latrinalia finally used in D&D--although really the clerics should be required to writer their moniker on the walls [Killroy was here]. I applaud your use of poetic license. Debby

    Bad to the bone!

    Bad to the Bone! These are wonderfully creepy beetles At what rate would a dead animal be consumed? I'm wondering how long it would take for a swarm of the beetles to devour an entire cemetary! Of course, carrion isn't alway available. I presume that they will eat living flesh too if no...
