OK, well lets look at an ability then... say the Berserker Strength alternate class feature for Barbarians (PHB II) which grants DR 2/- as part of its ability. Under the descriptions for Berserker Strength is specifically states that this DR stacks with similar types of DR (such as the...

Well, I'm reading it as if gaining DR from more than one source (Pixie + template are the different sources) then the DR doesn't stack. The whole example deals with different DR types (silver, evil, ect.), and I wish one example would have specifically dealt with the same DR stacking issue so...

...lot of good magic items for Warlocks in MIC too.

Tumble takes care of most of your worries... If charged, hopefully between armor, dex, +AC from moving with skirmish, and various other defense bonuses you have keep you relatively safe. Then, on your turn make an easy Tumble DC 15 check to move up to half speed without provoking an AoO and...

From the SRD; "If a creature has damage reduction from more than one source, the two forms of damage reduction do not stack. Instead, the creature gets the benefit of the best damage reduction in a given situation." From this I would take that unless the DR type specifically states it stacks...

I would hope being archery focused that the PC would have high Dex, making winning initiative more likely. Carry items or have a Ranger spell ready to hamper enemy movement, there are ways around this. Scout's have Hide on their class skill list, boost that as high as possible and snipe...

Everything that Nezkrul said except the carpet part - at least in our group mounted movement won't work for activating Skirmish. So for that I used one level of Cloistered Cleric and the Travel Devotion feat to get swift action movements and still be able to full attack with my swift hunter...

I remember something similar, the example gave something like a creature having both DR 10/Silver and DR 5/Evil; said the DR 10/Silver applies to all attacks unless they are made with a silver weapon, but then the DR 5/Evil would kick in - only way past both was if the weapon was both silver &...

OK, if I just ignore the naming behind the template I can see what you're going for here; a stronger Pixie, and hell, for +2LA you should have one. But how much of the Half-Fey template is redundant? The flying for sure, but will the DR stack? (errata added DR to the Half-Fey template). I...

Perhaps, but then you would have to work out which abilities you'd end up having, cutting some away from Pixie and added others from Dryad. As is though, stacking the Half-Fey template a Pixie is like adding the Half-Minotaur template to a Minotaur... [One], it doesn't make sense, and [two] it...

Hmm... while this might work mechanically and by the rules as is, as a DM I would not allow a Pixie (or any other fey creature) to take the half-fey, unseelie-fey, or any other template that changes type to fey. How is a Pixie, who is already a fey creature, suppose to be both fey, and...

If everyone had just a few SLA's they could cast a day, much like gnomes and the various other races that already have this, I don't think it would be too big of a deal - it doesn't rid the world of the barbaric cultures by any means. If everyone did have SLA's though, I'd mix it up to keep...

I'm not familiar with too many of the other systems, but Shadowrun would be my suggestion as well.

Without reading through all the replies my first response to the OP's query was "Tim Curry from 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' as a Lich... That Taunting Haunt is pretty nasty though, I've been looking to run a horror/terror campaign for my group and that unpleasant critter might fit the bill...

Indeed. Well in 3.5 weapon size categories come into play (I don't remember enough about 2e to recall weapon sizes there), so a small creature's greatsword is sized for them, and only deals 1d10 damage vs. a medium sized greatsword's 2d6. A buckler is a small shield strapped to your arm...

That makes sense and is how it normally is, I guess I would just apply the powerful charge's increased gore damage instead of normal gore damage then. Thanks!

not sure how to add an image... pasting the link in the insert image box doesn't seem to be doing the trick for me, but here is the link to the pic of the miniature...

True and an excellent point. A few other creatures have the water subtype as well, but overall they are a minority or rarely encountered. Could be useful if the adventure path/world dealt heavily in or under water, but in your typical game the Water domain is kind of a dud.

I find that RP and optimizing should work hand-in-hand, not exclusively of each other. Yes, you should be able to roleplay why your character is the way he is or believes what he does, but not at the expense of hindering yourself with useless features (like the ability to Turn water elements as...

:p It is a good point nonetheless and important in FR. To address it; I'm writing up a lesser deity who is nature/life/war focused for a home-brewed rhino race (appearance based on the awesome Kifaro miniature by Studio McVey) and they are very similar to Minotaurs stat wise, but more like...
