I don't know if that's the best way to do it. If you assign each ability point a +0.3 rather than a +0.1, then you get completely different results, so it seems kind of arbitrary. Also, a +40 to STR would only be a +4 LA. I'd play an Level 1 ECL 5 Fighter with a 59 STR over a Level 5 Fighter...

I think magical beasts have a d10 for HD, so all the horse's HD should be d10's. Other than that, it looks good, and the fighter feats will give all kinds of good options for feats like Weap. Focus: Hoof and the like, especially if the horse continues to advance in levels. I would pay good...

I think you're looking for Defenders of the Faith. T&B is the arcane splatbook. :D

I read the spell like this: 1) The save is just for the initial time the spell is cast. After that, you need to break the caster's concentration. 2) The spell description says "ability drain" which is different than "ability damage." See the DMG p. 83. Ability drain is permanent, while ability...

Technically, the ability bonuses are unbalanced, so that's probably why they tacked on the extra LA. Like you said, the ghost touch thing is cool and all, but a LA of +2 does seem a bit on the high side. Do they get any other abilities or is that it? If that is really it, I'd say they're about...

6th Level PC Starting Resources: 13,000 gp

I'm actually fitting the story to the character, rather than the other way around, but here are some rough details to help you out: ---The character will be travelling with the group for about 3 months, mostly overland and through mountainous territory ---The character is a pawn of a more...

young_dwarf : Do you have specific ideas about what makes that 6th lvl Rakshasa nastier than any other ECL 6 character? How about stats, weapons, other equipment, combat strategies? I'm by no means criticizing your suggestion, I just was hoping for something along the lines of a mini-smackdown...

I'm creating a 6th level character to run with the PC's in my gaming group, but he's going to be an elite NPC that travels with the party for some time and is ultimately going to wind up as the BBEG of the adventure. Here's where you come in. I need this character to be as scary as possible...

I think the problem Datt is referring to is not whether or not the weapon is considered to be epic by virtue of the sum of its "plusses", but rather that any weapon with an enhancement bonus of greater than +5 is considered to be epic. Since a +5 bane weapon would effectively be a +7 weapon...

There is also an armor enchantment in MoTW called, ironically enough, "Wild" that allows you to retain both the armor's enhancement and armor bonuses when in wild shape form.

The Desmodu, a bat-like race, from Savage Species (and MMII, I think) possess blindsight, so there is an example of the mechanic to emulate a creature's sonar. I think that giving whales a similar but longer range ability would be appropriate.

ROFLMAO! :D

I don't believe there's anything specific, but the spell implies that when you cease blinking, you are on the plane you started on. The ring would probably follow the same guidelines, so you wouldn't end up ethereal unless you started that way. The spell was designed to give a combat...

I thought about advancing the sharks / whales, but I was trying to make a somewhat intelligent creature. Probably should have mentioned that earlier. I don't own either the A&EG or MMII, but if these creatures are in there, I might have to pick them up (or at least borrow them from someone for...

There are monsters in the A&EG? That's odd. Thanks for the info!

I'm looking for a couple of overwhelmingly large creatures for an upcoming aquatic adventure with my PCs. Have either the Leviathan or the Zaratan been re-released in 3e in any WOTC or d20 product?

Maybe that's what I was remembering... hmmm. I don't know. I checked the spell Shield of Law to see if it clarified anything about "chaotic spells", but it differentiates between chaotic spells and chaotic creatures. Maybe I was just remembering bits and pieces from the various spells.

Ah, like "using" a supernatural ability (as a standard action) rather than with every attack like a spectre. That makes sense. Thanks, shilsen.
