    Quarter ton Dwarves?

    Multiply the additional height by the weight and add to the base. Human male example: Roll 2d10 = X (inches) Roll 2d4 = Y (pounds per inch) Height = 4'10" + X Weight = 120lbs + X*Y

    Couple of beholder questions

    In theory, yes that is possible. In my opinion though, that is undermining the spirit of the rules. I easily could be misinterpruting the intention of the rules, but I see the Eye Rays text description as mostly "fluff" designed to explain why a beholder can only aim three eye rays in a single...

    Multiple Potion Drinking

    Each DM is free to run things as he or she sees fit, but keep this in mind: If you in any way make it possible to "activate" more than one potion with a single standard action, you are making potions more powerful compared to other standard action activating items. Would you also allow someone...

    Couple of beholder questions

    According to the errata (p. 2)... "The eye attack is a free action. Increase its bite attacks by +5." Yes, a beholder can ready an eye attack, but it can only ready a single eye attack, and it takes a standard action to do so (not very efficient although it could use up to nine of its eyes...

    Can poison kill?

    Having an int score (or any ability score) of -- is different than having an int score of 0. A circlet of intelligence +2 has no effect on a flesh golem.

    What are the odds? - Stat geeks help!

    Unless the core rules change for epic characters, remember that you still need to use a full-attack four the four attacks in a round. Anyway, I also am getting some slightly different results for your first question than what was posted previously. (edit) Upon further reflection, these are in...

    What are the odds? - Stat geeks help!

    Threat range 18-20 (assuming an 18 hits): Four Dice Exactly one threat: 37% At least one threat: 48% Four threats: 5 in 10000 Six Dice Exactly one threat: 40% At least one threat: 62% Six threats: 1 in 100000 Note, these are just threats.... confirming the threat has not been done.

    resistance, vulnerability, and saves

    Thank you. I thought I had read something along those lines before it came up IOC a couple of days ago.

    Looking for a rule - upkeep

    Upkeep is listed as a variant rule in the 3.5 DMG: bottom of page 130. Yes, something similar is used in LG but it is somewhat different.

    resistance, vulnerability, and saves

    Is anyone aware of any official rules to handle this situation? Suppose a frost giant (vulnerability to fire -- half again as much fire damage) with a ring of minor fire resistance (fire resistance 10) is in the area of a fireball dealing 20 points of damage (reflex save for half). The giant...

    Magic Item of Constant Protection from Evil

    I think all (except one) of these points have already been expressed, but..... 1) If you're already at a high-level campaign, the bonuses to AC and saves are already likely irrelevent due to other items or spells. 2) Protection (or Magic Circle) vs. X protects against spells or effects that...

    Encumberance issues

    I easily could be wrong about this since I don't have the book in front of me, but I believe scrolls have no weight. However, where are the scrolls being kept? Are they loose in a cloak pocket or in a backpack? That's okay, but I hope you do not get wet (or burnt.) Scroll cases do have a...

    Let me get this straight

    All of the examples you gave are, in fact, example of what a character can do in one round. However, in my opinion, you might be setting yourself up to be confused later. In a single round, a character has three basic options: 1) standard action plus a move action --- or --- 2) move action...

    Figment magic

    Dealing with illusions (particularly figmants) is essentially entirelly house-rules in the first place. I think I remember seeing in the rules somewhere that someone receives a new save against a figment only in certain situations such as a comrade stating "Hey, it's just an illusion" (giving a...

    Illusion Adjucation

    I have several (related) questions concerning adjucating Illusion spells. Ultimately (in my opinion), there are no "correct" answers seeing as different GMs can adjucate Illusions however thay want. I am asking for opinions on how GMs do/would adjucate these situations. For simplicitly, let's...

    Which wiz/sor spells are best for Persistent Spell?

    Which is more valuable to a high-level wizard / sorcerer: a single 8th level slot or three or four 3rd level slots plus a 2nd level slot? At 15th level, an extended See Invisibility will last five hours.... (edit) Answer... it depends (of course) on the character.

    Leadership TWICE?

    Feat descriptions in the PHB state if they can be taken more than once. The description of Leadership does not state that it can be taken more than once.

    When can a Dire Lion use Rake?

    When can a Dire Lion use Rake?

    Hopefully, someone will correct me if I am incorrect, but..... A rake attack typically depends on the creature hitting with both claw attacks. This means that it needs to actually attack with both claws (either through full attack or through a pounce.) If both claw attacks hit, then the rake...
