Thanks! ;)

Felt the need to respond. ;) Reach costs you a FULL level. How much more would you make someone pay for it? As to why ability mods cost so little (relatively speaking), look at the DMG Ogre. All those ability mods, and still only 1 above its HD, can't be worth much more then, now can they...

Monday will be fine, thank you. And while I read some of those ECL threads, I kinda lost interest, too. ;)

In case anyone else was wondering about some parts of this product as well, here are a couple of questions I asked Matthew and his replies. Maybe saves you some work. > just some quick questions: > Can a chaos mage multiclass with a psion/psi warrior? Certainly can. > The force damage...

Thanks! ;)

I'm looking for Knight Otu, or else a copy of the old boards "Monster races and their ECLs, a complete list" thread. Thanks for your attention. Soldarin

Incidentally, advancing by class when advancement by HD is stated by the MM is a privilege for PC monsters. Of course, you can extend those rules to NPCs (make sure to also make them elite characters then, ie 4d6 drop lowest for ability scores, first HD full), but the standard rules do not say...

It first appeared in FRCS, though it has a lot in common with the class equivalent system in the DMG. For more info on ECL I suggest you follow the link in my sig. ;)

I'm going to borrow the codex tomorrow. I'm curious about those 'how to make a new spell' guidelines. ;)

In the SS system, the power of a wizard is limited by the fact that spells cost a lot of time to cast (about 1.5 rounds per spell level) and more importantly that learning high level spells is very difficult (and may only be attempted once per level for any particular spell). Thorvald's options...

I mean to replace the D&D slot system with the SS magic system, while keeping the spells from D&D the same. That way all those books with new spells will still be useful, but some of the weirdness of the D&D system is taken out. I run into several problems when I try to do this, though. How...

Has anybody done this yet? It seems easy to equate spell level times 15 to CT, but I'm thinking on giving a wizard access to 2 schools to simulate the elemental division in SS. Any thoughts on the subject?

It looks oriental to me, though I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't exist outside of D&D. A fine weapon, about as good as a spiked chain, but it doesn't make you look as ridiculous IMHO. ;)

Use ECL for starting gold, starting xp, xp needed for next level and average party level. Use total number of HD (monster and class HD) for everything else. Everything else includes max skill ranks. ;)

You might want to follow the link in my sig. ;) Happy gaming!

In response to one of the first messages, my ECL 'calculator' can be found by following the link below. ;)

I'd say it is a +1 race (old ECLs, not the dragon article). ;)

Personally I agree with the Half-dragon being +4 (face it, it is just better than half-celestial). I do not like most of the other numbers, but I'm also close to agreeing that a lizardfolk char ought to be ECL +3. Aside from those pointless remarks, I'd say we try and lower the sarcasm rating...

ECL +1 would be my first guess (CR +1 as well, but I'd hate to fight this thing that keeps coming back). Then again, undead being immune to most mind affecting spells, there really is no way to force it to kill itself. So ECL +2 is probably better. My advise: Don't make it available to PCs. Or...

Back to lizardfolk You have to admit that humanoid HD aren't as good as class levels. So starting count at 2 due to its 2 HD would be too harsh. A d8, with lousy skill points per level (1 per level, regardless of Int modifier), a cleric bab, but no spell ability to compensate is definitely not...
