    How do you measure "Timing"?

    I am wondering how you measure a character's "timing", for example sliding under a closing door or jumping between moving platforms, is it just a case of movement/jump skill and assume the character times it perfectly? I have considered the "it just doesn't work with D&D mechanics" argument but...

    Bladeling questions

    admittedly I don't have the Monster Manual memorised but all the monsters I recall specifically call out OR/AND and the glossary says it should be spelled out, but this was a conversion rather than a printed book so I guess standards are less...

    Bladeling questions

    I thought I should just point out that DRs that are X and Y specifically have the word "and" in the DR description, hence why I asked. I have bounced back and forth several times and decided I don't know, GX.Sigma says "Or" and Rabulias says "And", we need a tiebreaker anyone?

    unfortunately, I'm not the one with Libris Mortis, I will look at it when I can next. I will modify little bits of the Zombie template and just dress it up, thanks all

    New Monster question

    I am creating an adventure where the party invade an underground research lab experimenting on Resurrection (without the gods' help) but it is a work in progress, the level 8s are fighting the guards and defenses outside while the Level 1-2 party progress inside, I don't know whether to kill the...

    Bladeling questions

    I have discovered that somehow MM2 is 3rd Edition not 3.5, that makes no sense but again w/e, it is updated though. EDIT 2: Ignore the Twig Blight (and I will remember NOT to use MM2 anymore...ever...under any circumstances) but the main question remains, is "DR 5/Magic Bludgeoning" Magic AND...

    Bladeling questions

    for those who don't know Bladeling is a monster from MM2, now I have two questions about it: 1) easiest being "DR 5/+1 (Slashing and Piercing only)" means what? any Blunt weapon penetrates or is it immune to Blunt weapons and only +1 slashing/piercing weapons work? 2) How does the loss of a...

    Pathfinder 1E What race would you choose to dominate a setting.

    I'm a fan of Humans being dominant but divided, Elves are all Elven, Dwarves are Dwarven, Orcs may kill each other for almost pointless reasons but they are still "Orcish", Humans are...whatever country or city-state they were born in. Humans only unite when threatened from the outside...

    I have no idea what it is called but anyone who has played Champions of Norrath, which I thought I had mentioned but I researched it and there was little built around it, you help a Mermaid and she gives you the ability to breathe underwater, there is a crustacean underwater that is the boss...

    I agree with both points, Language would evolve way too fast for there to be any commonality after thousands of years, I imagine currency would be fine until a war broke out and with shifting conflicts eventually everyone would have their own style, it is based on how the world and group...

    The issue there is that they will have to give up said item, the players won't be happy to just 'lose' an item, more so if it killed a dragon. still a good idea to have some ingredients be rare and some be common, maybe they can be found or bought, so the party can choose to "throw money at the...

    That's a fair point, I guess it explains why owners of Silver/Gold/Platinum mines are really rich. Common might be "broken" english but I figure it as just English, everyone speaks English for trade so if you don't then you can't trade with all of the villages that do. I think it depends on...

    A very good point, 1) Imperial Currency was just a phrase, even if humans are separated by a oceans and nations and evil races they all use the same currency in the same way they all speak the same language Common and 2) I always have some sort of historical global empire a few hundred thousand...

    I thought I had put that in my first post but I hadn't, Level 1-3. I always figured silver/gold/platinum coins are made of the element mixed with others to make them cheap to produce and prevent people from making their own. There also has to be some sort of crime associated with destroying...

    Those Monsters seem too powerful, I think I like Desert or Plains, since they will be Underground or in Forests for the other two parts of the quest and in an Urban environment for the fourth part of the quest. I really like Underwater questing, but it seems too difficult for low level adventurers

    I am open to any suggestions ;) I have reviewed several creatures, I love Monster Finder, and discovered: Asabi - medium humanoid(reptilian) - Monsters of Faerun Pg 15 - Cousins of the Kobolds who live in Deserts, I don't have Sandstorm but Desert terrain is difficult and the party must choose...

    Thanks to everyone, I have thought about it more: 25 lbs of Powdered Silver but the only mine in the area is a Dwarven mine that has recently been overrun by {Random Enemy 34}. {I have no idea how much Ash is made from a Medium plant creature} of Sacred Ash from a burned plant creature, the...

    Thanks to everyone, I have thought about it and I like the Ritual needing: {Random Amount} of Powdered Silver (most Divine powers do) the only mine in the area is a Dwarven mine that has recently been overrun by {Random Enemy 34}. {Random Amount} of Sacred Ash from a burned plant creature, the...
