According to the description of intelligence at the begining of the MM, creatures with int 3 or more understand at least 1 language, and unless otherwise specified, this language is common. The celestial and fiendish templates do not specify otherwise, so these summoned creatures understand...

The energy resistance also applies to electricity. You omitted to mention that the pseudonatural template also provides a SR of 10+HD. Maybe these are trivial at high levels, but at mid level, they make these creatures quite a bit stronger than their normal cousins. The DR is very good when...

I have a few questions on this PrC because a player of mine has just taken his first Alienist level (conjurer 6, Alienist 1). 1) How powerful do you think this PrC is, both compared to a straight up wizard and compared to other arcane PrC ? Given that a conjurer has very little to sacrifice to...

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk Borkel sighs heavily and says: "I know you are right ... there is just not much we can do here. It is just that I feel so angry at this man and even more so when I think that he will probably commit more crimes. I wish I could be useful ..." "I am also...

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk "Tumna, with all due respect, we have just figured out that this Gogsmol is probably a killer, or is at least associated with the death of citizens. And he is hiding dangerous monsters in his warehouse. Such an individual must be stopped. What kind of society...

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk Borkel lets go of the thug. "Okay, we are back to square one. The difference is that we now have what Gogsmol is looking for, which may make us marked men. I say we take the initiative and the advantage of surprise. Why not pay Gogsmol a little visit? He has...

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk Borkel sighs as he lets Tumna and Eddy take the money, and then persists in interrogating the fop: "Alright, you were not hired to teach us a lesson. I will buy that. But someone like you, who thinks himself completely above the law, must know a thing or two...

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk "I will let you go, says Borkel to the fop, but not before you tell us everything. What do you know about us, about your boss and about his dirty business that we have just uncovered? You better start talking or else I will keep on practicing some very painful...

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk Borkel's reaction is as quick as lightning (initiative 19). As soon as he sees a hint of a movement from the thugs towards their weapons, he springs into action and attempts to start a grapple with the thug's boss: touch attack 14, grapple 23, damage 8. His...

When it says that the spell caster gains known spells, I thought this refered specifically to the sorcerer, not to the wizard's "free" spells. Wizard spells are not known, they are written in a spellbook. No?

A wizard takes a level in a prestige class that has the "+ 1 level of existing class" ability. Does he get two new "free" spells in his spellbook, just like when he gains a wizard level? Or is this a wizard only ability?

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk Borkel, assuming that these thugs have been hired by Gogsmol to get rid of them, immediately takes action. He moves in between the thugs and Tumna, so as to protect her, and makes sure that Eddy draws his weapon and shield. Borkel then tries hard to look...

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk "wait a minute ... this does not make any sense, says Borkel, forgetting about the money splitting schemes. There has to be a specific connection between all of these facts. Gogsmol's warehouse was unsused and empty for years. Then, all of a sudden, a horrible...

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk "Why do you say that, Bru? Is it really yours? Be honest, you have nothing to fear from ... (Borkel hesistates while looking at his friends ... me. I want you no harm."

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk Borkel is unconfortable and is not sure how to react. He puts his wide hand on Bru's shoulder to confort him, waiting for his friends' discovery.

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk Even though he does not agree with how they are handling the situation, Borkel follows his friends, out of loyalty. He peeks in and immediately spots something: "I see someone hiding under a blanket in that corner. It might be Bru." Borkel goes straight to...

Thanks, but this is the same as in the DMG. These are the rules I am trying to change.

Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk Throughout the way, Borkel makes sure to stay close to Tumna, in a protective fashion. When that thin guy makes improper comments to Tumna, Borkel looks at him with an intimidating stare, flexing the muscles of his rather large arms and bare chest, and tells...

Thanks for the links and the answers. It is helping me to create my own house rules. Does anyone know where I can find house rules (or official rules, if they exist) for casting spells underwater? It seems obvious that spells with verbal and material components will be much harder to cast...

According to the rules, only fire based spells have modified effects underwater. So sonic or electrical spells are unaffected. However, I think that the intent of the designers was to avoid an overly complicated set of rules just for water, and I therefore don't think that having house rules...
