    Figuring out BAB for classed monsters

    Of course...I was seeing +10/+5 for the normal frost giant and seeing that as the 'beginning' of the two attacks per round level. But of course, it's at the end of that, and one more BAB, and that Frost Giant would have 3 attacks... Staring at me in the face. thanks! (though some of the...

    Figuring out BAB for classed monsters

    I'm missing a rule somewhere and need help. A 5th level Cleric Frost Giant has 3 attacks in a full round with his axe. BAB for a frost giant is +10, so they normally get two attacks per round. 5 levels of cleric is BAB +3. How is it that the Cleric Frost Giant gets three attacks? Isn't his...

    Cloud Giant Sorcerer build?

    wow, that is one cool monster. I think he's going to be sifting through the fane looking for some arcane magic, and the cloud giants are his crew... very nice! How would you level him down to say a CR 14? 3/day spells spent?

    Drunk demons?

    Indeed, ravages are in effect, and they torture a lot of people at these parties, so, yes, enemy blood, mixed with some ravages...equals passed out demons!

    Reading the blasphemy spell...

    Just to be clear, at -10 below the caster level, you are killed. Why are the other effects listed? sure I'm missing sth.

    Drunk demons?

    Sure, undead tend not to sleep and I can only imagine, don't get drunk. I'm currently running an adventure that has a large group of constantly cavorting demons and undead. PCs would like to do some assassinating. Do demons get drunk? Do they sleep? (I know, it's whatever I want, but just...

    Scent physics

    yup, so we're all on the same page rule wise. I think I'll go with a dungeon (not fully sealed) door as 'downwind'. So, if the characters pass within 15" of the monster on the other side, he smells them. Now that even sounds too far to me... hmmmmm, darned 'forced house rules'...

    Scent physics

    I understand the upwind/downwind business with scent, yes. but what about doors? Dungeon doors, I read long ago, are rarely perfect seals. But should one maybe halve the distance of scent through one? thanks!

    Barbazu teleportation? Ptolus mistake?

    Just want to confirm that bearded devils cannot teleport. In Cook's Ptolus, in the dungeons of the Dark Reliquary, Monte states that DM's shouldn't worry about Barbazu guards and locked doors, as they would just teleport around the dungeons, in and out of rooms. But my MM 3.5 does not give...

    Abundant Step, with passengers?

    Since Abundant Step functions like Dimension door, at the equivalent level of 6 for a 12th level monk, can a monk bring two medium characters along for the ride?

    magic items, effects, spells, and who exactly can use them?

    Dear Sirs and Madams, Just to make sure I've got this right. Wands and Rods, with spells. Only PCs who have the spells on their spell lists can use them. My Wizard cannot use the wand of protection from evil from my dead cleric? Rings: despite having no spell-like ability, a rogue can whisper...

    Bodak Death...raise ok?

    Thanks for this great discussion about our Bodak death! In this case, a suddenly lethal out of nowhere death REALLY helped...bc of how easily they had just gone through a TOUGH section. It's the Demon Council in the Demonweb Pits big adventure, and having gone in with wands of align weapon and...

    Bodak Death...raise ok?

    A Bodak just death gazed our cleric...and he rolled a 1. I assume that if we get him to a temple in a few hours, and have him 'raised' to life, that takes care of the returning as a Bodak in 24 hrs problem? thanks

    SR and Web

    My group has found Web to be a great spell for quick escapes. But now they're running into more and more creatures with SR. If Web is cast, centred on a creature with SR, and the Caster Check fails, is it still the case that the creature is surrounded by lots of sticky webs and will still have...
