    Number of grapple checks for animal

    I think so... reading the description for Improved Grab brings up another question: "If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold." First round: So the bear...

    Number of grapple checks for animal

    Ah ok, I didn't read "Attack Your Opponent" carefully enough I guess :) Would the bear get all three attacks with the -4 penalty, or just two solely based on his BAB (+9/+4)?

    Number of grapple checks for animal

    I think this is pretty straightforward but I just wanted to confirm. Dire Bear with 3 attacks (claw, claw, bite) and Improved Grab. Bear does full attack. Hits with claw, does claw damage, gets free grab attempt, wins grapple check. Target is drawn into bear's space, no extra damage done. Can...

    location for 17+ level cleric of Tempus

    Wow, Eric Boyd... thanks for your suggestionl I read those articles a while ago but had forgotten them. I've been a fan of your FR work for a long time :) I've decided to stay with my original idea of hunting down the glabrezu that killed Eldan. I actually decided on that before I saw that hook...

    location for 17+ level cleric of Tempus

    Great ideas Piratecat... unfortunately I don't want to make the player of the dead character sit out during the entire next adventure. The Abbey of Swords is perfect... I was looking for something exactly like that, a well known bastion of Tempus. Most likely I will have a cleric (the current...

    location for 17+ level cleric of Tempus

    A follower of Tempus in my group's party was killed and they decided to spring for a True Resurrection for him. Does anyone know where in the Realms a major temple of Tempus could be found? The party is in the Cormyr area and the description of Suzail mentions a shrine for Tempus, but I'd really...

    number of attacks when wildshaped

    Thanks Dwarmaj and reapersaurus... it makes sense to me now. I'm going with Dwarmaj's numbers for the bear, +17/+17/+12. The wildshaped dog would get one bite at +10 (9+1 for dog's str). Thanks for all the help!

    Druid animal companion type

    Thanks very much!

    Druid animal companion type

    I seem to recall reading here that the druid's animal companion should be remain an animal type, not magical beast. Is this true or am I living in my alternate reality again? If it is true, what was the source of the correction? Thanks!

    Excellent! Thanks Piratecat!

    number of attacks when wildshaped

    I don't really care about iterative attacks... All I am trying to figure out is: A. How many natural attacks (full attack) and at what attack bonus would the 12th level druid wildshaped into a polar bear have? +13 claw/+13 claw/+8 bite? +9/+4? If the latter, could he do a +9 claw and a +4...

    Search messed up?

    Yeah there is definitely a gap in the search results... any I've run since the new boards went up only return results from now back to 8/10/03 or so, and then from 3/03 back. So there's a gap of about 5 months of threads missing.

    number of attacks when wildshaped

    What does this mean? You can only ever attack once a round when wildshaped, even if your BAB is high enough to grant multiple attacks?

    number of attacks when wildshaped

    I apologize if this has been answered before (and I'm sure it has). The search function seems a bit wonky and I didn't find anything helpful. If a 12th level druid (+9 BAB) wildshapes say, into a polar bear: How many attacks does he get? Full attack with 2 claws and bite or his normal 2...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.0 to 3.5 Barbarian change

    I was just playing with some numbers to get a sense of how 3.5 is going to change the Barbarian in my game when we switch over. Just thought I'd share and see what people thought... This uses the actual Barb from the party, assuming his party-mate the Bard 8/Arc 4 will use Inspire Courage to...

    AU - first impressions?

    Song Witch Someone on the Malhavoc message boards is working on some variant witches, one of which is a Song Witch. Looks promising... a Song Witch/Akashic would make a good sound-focused all around type character. http://pub102.ezboard.com/fokayyourturnfrm29.showMessage?topicID=562.topic

    What is the new CR on this advanced Howler?

    As Wippit said, it should have two more feats. Base Howler 6HD, 3 feats (1,3,6) Advanced Howler 12HD 5 feats (1,3,6,9,12)

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Craft Construct a monster feat?

    *shrug* :) It really seems like something that characters would want to take at some point. Grouping it with monster feats and the way it's worded make it sound like only creatures can create golems... It's not like it's simple or cheap to create constructs anyway. Just don't see the reason...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Craft Construct a monster feat?

    Yeah, I realized after I posted that I should just look at a few monsters and see what kinds of feats they have :) So basically any feat goes, as long as it meets the prereqs and makes sense. Improved Init and Improved Natural Attack for the wolf, woo! On an unrelated note, does it strike...
