    Shrinkage?

    Sorry for insinuating that I was talking about the party doing that. I was looking at it from the BBEG's point of view. A swarm (doesn't really feel right calling a group of tiny creatures a thunder) of Tiny Elder dragons? Now, that's evil.

    Monk's AC bonus? Dodge? Deflection? Other?

    Unfortunately, Saint is a template rather than a PrC. Only +2 ECL, but that can still throw off someone's build sometimes. :shrug: Figured that might be important to note for your database. Well, when you get a Saint that's a VoP Monk, well, you're looking at Dex plus Monk AC bonus plus Wis...

    Shrinkage?

    That's 'cause the amplifying info is in a table under the text in the book. Hope this helps. As for the personal bit- imagine being able to shrink the Colossal Elder Red Dragon down to the size of a pixie.

    Prestige class question

    I think his basic question is if he has a Lv 6 Wizard, and takes a PrC that advances with a '+1 spellcaster level' ability, would he get the Lv10 Wizard bonus feat at Wiz6/PrC4.

    Prestige class question

    My understanding of this feature is that it grants additional spells per day and spells known as if you had gained a level in that spellcasting class, and nothing more. So, in effect, if you were Wiz 6/PrC4, you're casting spells as a 10th level wizard, but if you go back to gaining wizard...

    Monk's AC bonus? Dodge? Deflection? Other?

    Sorry to use a revive spell on a long decomposed thread, but I have a question that's relevant here. A Saint (BoED, 185) gains an AC insight bonus equal to their Wisdom modifier that acts in the same capacity as a Monk's AC bonus. Would this actually stack with a monk's AC bonus? If so, then...

    TN version of monk ki strike

    Let's try to break this down for comparison- my brain works better when I can see things and mess with them visually. A Lawful monk would gain Ki Strike (Law) A Good monk would gain Ki Strike (Good) A Chaotic monk would gain Ki Strike (Chaos) and an Evil monk would gain Ki Strike (Evil)...

    TN version of monk ki strike

    This is actually, a very valid question. I'm a big fan of waiving the alignment restrictions of monks myself, for exactly the reasons you posted, but I never really thought about this aspect of the issue. Most people I know would dismiss the issue, stating that a TN character isn't devoted...

    A request for information/opinion

    Alright, long post coming up. I've done the basic 20 level mock-up of what I would like to do with the character, barring any bounses from the Kensai Signature Weapon feature (since I don't quite know what to expect from it with natural weapons) and this is what I came up with. * denotes...

    A request for information/opinion

    Well, yes, you did mention it in passing, but I was wondering specifically what kind of bonus properties I would actually be able to apply to my natural attacks by using the Kensai's Signature Weapon feature, and whether or not I had to go for a straight '+ insert number here' for the first five...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 - Some Questions - Monk, Drunken Master, Vow of Poverty

    Just skimming over the info there, I see nothing wrong with taking this PrC with Monk- in fact, many, if not all, the abilities and class features would benifit a monk in some way or another. I think the Thief that's in the title there is just for fluff. Well, if the selling point on that...

    Sanctum Spell - What's the purpose?

    The key here is that at the point where you 'petitioned,' for lack of a better descriptive word, to join the Prestige Class in question, you met the requirements, and upon joining those PrCs, and gaining rank in them, those specific requirements are no longer valid. However, if you take a PrC...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 - Some Questions - Monk, Drunken Master, Vow of Poverty

    If you're talking about the bit about the damage, then he answered it fairly succinctly, but if you're talking about the Thief Acrobat, then I can't answer that because I have nothing to work off it with, since I've not read up on it, sorry. Also, if you are going to go monk, it would probably...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 - Some Questions - Monk, Drunken Master, Vow of Poverty

    I'm looking at making an Exalted Vow of Poverty Monk character right now as well, so I've been studying up on the ramifications of the vow. First off, taking the Vow of Poverty at Level 15 is only possible after you've taken the Sacred Vow feat- which shouldn't be a problem. If you do so, you...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 - Some Questions - Monk, Drunken Master, Vow of Poverty

    Misconception correction: Quoted from the sourcebook: "You may carry enough food to sustain you for one day in a simple (nonmagic) sack or bag. You may carry and use a spell component pouch. You may not use any magic item of any sort, though you can benefit from magic items used on your...

    A request for information/opinion

    About the Kensai PrC; if you spec unarmed, you apply the imbued weapon bonus to your preferred unarmed strike (hands), right? But if a weapon can only have a +5 bonus, plus abilities that would add up to additional pluses to get the +6 to +10 bonuses for the second half of the PrC, how would you...

    Concealing Objects

    One thing that I never understood was why there is a difference in the capabilities of a Portable Hole and a Bag of Holding in the first place. The spells involved are the same, and both are made of cloth, but the Bag of Holding costs more to create and is somehow vulnerable to being rent from...

    Concealing Objects

    Now, here's a question- could you get a Portable Hole that has the same amount of space in it as normal, but whose max opening size is, say, no larger than your hand? If so, what's to stop someone from embroidering one into their gloves/gauntlets and slight-of-handing anything nearby of Tiny...

    Yeah, I'm going to ask him about it, but I'm not sure that he even knows if he's going to implement it at this point. If he does decide on using them, I'll just opt for a couple of Exalted feats rather than the VoP template, and that'll make me able to optimize my abilities with magical gear...

    A request for information/opinion

    Okay, I'm trying to brainstorm this up with a fresh perspective. Main goal: Trip-spec Vow of Poverty character. Important abilities: high AC (preferrably Monk AC bonus) and Defensive Throw (or something similar) Noteworthy information: primary focus is the incapacitation of an opponent, damage...
