Those are painted on, silly.

The maneuver is not ment to actually remove the shield from it's arm but rather to pull the shield, including the arm away from the user. The fact it's strapped to the arm actually makes it worse for the shield user. If the user was using a neckstrap it gets even more annoying. You shouldn't be...

I didn't look perfectly well at the ability. I originally thought it could be used for any fall, but it requires a voluntary jump similar to the standard DC 15 check to reduce a fall by 10 ft. It should clarify if this standard check can still be used. Maybe the skill can be changed so that the...

That template is the exception to confirm the rule indeed. The part I am designing at the moment is more about matching the creatures in power, not specifically to a certain standard. The fact that later monsters of the same CR might be more powerful is something is a very disturbing thought...

Almost all books describe the material plane as being infinite in size, which supports the deep space theory. Lords of Madness even describes extra-terrestrial beings. On the topic of freezing and clogging. Assuming that water can pass trough it then it does not even matter what side the...

D6 seems logical for a stealth class, both the Ninja and Rogue have a d6. Skill points are usually even, compared to the Rogue you removed four class skills, so I would suggest 6, although this depends on the general idea of the class. Is it really as skillful as a rogue? BAB and saves look...

Usually environments don't pass portals. Most DMs would aggree a gate spell can't be used to create long-lasting overpowering gusts of wind, fiery blazes, tsunamis or blinding rays of positive energy. Permanent portals could be an exception slowly, but basically it's the DMs choice. 1. Why...

What kind of action and whih what modifiers and consequences would it be when you use an axe or halberd to pull away your opponent's shield, just like axefighters used to do in the middle ages with a spearfighter (probably with a longspear) behind them to strike when the shield was gone? Sunder...

I figured it out by looking at similar cases explained in the FAQ (p31). If a template says its allowed, it probably is (DMs can always rule it isnt), but in the end you look back at every type the creature possessed at one time, and pick the highest. It's just a name though cause the creature...

Mindsight is stated to affect any creature with an Int score. It uses the word mindless, but although this is the same word it does in no way reference the particular trait that vermin and augmented vermin possess. Detect Thoughts is a mind-affecting effects, and does not affect (augmented)...

Level Adjustment can't go below 0. And 22 class levels, 2 racial hit dice and LA +0 would be ECL 24. Although still powerful for a ECL 24, cause of the Maug's strength bonus. I would expect any DM to use one or more of the following rulings though: No creature can be incarnated more than...

I did not know that, thanks. It does explain why, when I tried out in the garden, I hit the square more often than I should though (assuming I have a BAB of +0 and a Dex of 10), especially at a range of 5 ft. I tend to hear that a lot. I see, so everyone is proficient with objects that are...

When adjusting the way you get extra attacks you also have to consider the effect this has on abilities and spells that normally give you extra attacks, like haste and flurry of blows. If all attacks are normally at full BAB then having those effects grant you an attack at full BAB is less...

Two types, always interesting. Technically it would just end up to be an Outsider with Low-light vision though but still having two types is interesting. The example half-troll barbazu lost it's outsider type as well as its lawful, evil and baatezu subtypes it seems. Yet it's still able to...

Me and my friends haven't made much use of grenade-like and splash weapons so I am wondering if anyone here could answer some questionss for me. First, are grenade-like and splash weapons different or are they the same kind of weapons? If different, what differences do they have, the PHB (p158)...

It's called the Type Pyramid, found it in Savage Species, page 142: Construct, Outsider, Undead Elemental, Ooze, Plant Aberration Dragon, Humanoid (shapechanger) Fey, Giant Magical Beast, Monstrous Humanoid Animal, Humanoid, Vermin It also lists some extra detail, sort of errata on other...

I agree it is weird, but that's what's written. I considered the fact that Manual of the Planes is 3.0 but the 3.5 Update Booklet doesn't touch that part of the template. Eventually I decided that an incorporeal creature would make a better boss-creature for the shadow element, rending the...

Aside of that obvious fact, many people forget that in reality a sword wielded two-handed is faster than when wielded one-handed. While in D&D wielding it with two hands allows for extra strength, probably because they have no speed system. If you don't understand what I mean, grab a stick and...

I figured out they're weekly articles and managed to find info trough URL manipulation. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20060711a http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20060718a http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20060725a...

I got two more questions: 1. When enhancing by HD, when, if ever, is a monster considered epic. And when it is, is it allowed to choose epic feats, and does it instead of it's normal BAB and Base Saving throw progression gain the Epic progressions? 2. Is it possible to reduce a creature's CR...
