Bastard swords are great for spell casters. Get that two-handed damage one round and cast a spell with S component (only needs one hand) the next while still having your melee weapon in a position to make AoOs. Better yet, since I don't think switching from one-handed to two-handed takes an...

A creature with the scent feat makes Wis checks to track. This is the same as making an "untrained" wilderness lore check. Basically, anyone can make an untrained wilderness lore check, but without the Track feat or Scent ability they can't use them to track, just to hunt/forage or avoid natural...

According to the SRD (don't have T&B with me), you can make an item with a limited save bonus. Example: +4 periapt of proof against poison. The cost is "Bonus squared x 250gp". So, I suppose you could make an item that gave you a simple +4 on saves vs. hold or paralysis effects for 4000gp base...

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I was leaning towards allowing this for natural ettins anyway when I DM, but making it a feat makes more sense. Casting a spell requires a level of mental focus above and beyond that required to swing a pair of clubs. I wouldn't do it...

Ok. Since the two heads of an ettin are described as if they were independent minds (talking to themselves, no penalties for two weapons) can an ettin with levels in a spell casting class cast two spells at once? Can each head have a different class? If my Druid/Shifter uses greater wild shape...

Thank you kreynolds for pointing out my errors. I stand corrected.

The DC may be lame, but part of that is because the effects can be devastating! A few successful Strength drains leads to helplessness: coup de grace time. A few successful Constitution drains can kill. And each successful drain makes that DC14 Fort save a little bit harder to make next time...

First, let me say that I don't disagree that this is excessive. That's why I put a grinning smiley-face on it. It is a situation that is "broken" and needs to be house-ruled by any sensible DM. However, it IS the most literal interpretation of the rules. Creeping cold reads "The spell deals 1d6...

Wow. When I first looked, I thought it would be the second, but Storminator is right. There's no reason to have it slow down the "warm-up time" or "cool-down time". But, I still prefer extended creeping cold (MotW). Sure, it only affects one target but it does 1d6 cumulative cold damage per...

Dire hawk is in MMII. Unless, of course you just want to make your own;)

This is really a modified core class more than a prestige class, but the idea calls for certain prerequisites so I wrote it as a prestige class. A summary of the changes from a core monk is at the end. I welcome suggestions and feedback. TIA Feral Monk Most monks learn their skills by...

Just to open the whole can of worms back up, the SRD still states that Polymorph Self allows multiple transformations. If they really meant to remove that, why did they not update the SRD?

Thanks for the replies and the input. I will edit to add labels to the abilities as suggested. Special thanks to Priest for the kick@ss table! :)

I see some people looked, but no comments. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I also welcome suggestions for a better name.

Actually, any AoO can be a trip or disarm attempt. On page 122 of the PHB an AoO is defined as "a single melee attack". The description of the disarm action on page 137 states "As a melee attack, you may make a disarm attempt.". Similarly, the description of the trip action on page 139 states...

Hello All, My first post and first attempt at a prestige class. Looking for input, opinions and just to share. Battlerunner Battle is never a walk in the park. It is a run through an obstacle course. The battlerunner is all about speed and maneuverability. Enemy warriors, rough terrain, motes...
