Teleport has a casting time of "1 standard action" not move action. The phase spider goes from ethereal to material as a free action. Ethereal Jaunt (Su) A phase spider can shift from the Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane as a free action, and shift back again as a move action (or during a...

If the teleport was a free action (quickened teleport) then I would allow it the same way a phase spider shifting from ethereal to material as a free action catches the opponent flat-footed. Just remember that wouldn't effect a character with Uncanny Dodge.

Alter Self: You keep all extraordinary special attacks and qualities derived from class levels, but you lose any from your normal form that are not derived from class levels. Baleful Polymorph: With those exceptions, the target’s normal game statistics are replaced by those of the new form. The...

The point is derived from the term: transmuted. If a troll is balefully polymorphed (transmuted) into a chicken does he lose his regeneration? I believe that when polymorphed you lose all extraordinary qualities thus when you are disintegrated you are turned into dust. The dust is dust not...

Yeah, I know how to do that. What I meant was: are magic weapons "minor", "medium", or "major" and are they supposed to be Large since the Marilith is Large? I've decided to just use random "medium" weapons unless someone can give me a better justification.

I've googled this and came back empty. In the Marilith's treasure entry it says "plus 1d4 magic weapons". What level weapons are these? minor, medium, major? Must they automatically be large weapons wielded by the Marilith?

of course the answer was there all along. thanks for pointing it out for me.

Does a creature who has been disintegrated (transmuted to dust) still regenerate?

How many body slots are there and what can go on each one? Also do things like broach of shielding consume a body slot or is it in addition to the basic ones?

At the bottom of that page it gives an example of a frost giant barbarian wearing armor: Finally, a frost giant has a +9 natural armor bonus, so it gains DR 1/- from natural armor. The chain shirt it wears gives it an additional DR 2/-. If the frost giant were a 7th-level barbarian, the...

The rules are a bit vague on this. If a level 17 sorcerer takes archmage (for example), what is his new caster level? is it assumed that if the PrC says "+1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class" under spells per day, that this increases his caster level too?

outside of core, everything is home brew with a fancy label stamped on it

yes, provided that the spellcaster is wearing the headband while he is preparing his spells for the day. If instead he simply had fox's cunning cast on him he would be able to cast 1st and 2nd but wouldn't be able to prepare any. The wizard could also use a wand with a int of 10.

off topic a bit. Damage done to the gizzard counts against the enemies hp right?

Thanks guys. I suppose an added intelligence check could be added to see if the monster is dumb enough to stick it out too. I appreciate the guide lines that have been suggested. I know that there isn't a perfect system or WotC would have implemented one, but sometimes an enemy gets his ass...

yeah... that's what I was inquiring about... the DC's

Totally agree. I do this for all monsters with my group. Encourages trail and error for overcoming DR and SR and Immunities. The only category of monsters not grouped with a knowledge skill is humanoids, it would seem that orcs, goblins, kobolds, etc are common knowledge for everyone. Using...

sounds good. where can i find more information

I know that 3.5 doesn't have a morale system in place, but as a DM what are some guidelines to encourage monsters to run away. If a Will save is recommended what DC and penalty/bonus would you apply.

Overlooked: You are able to fight with a 2-handed weapon and also use the armor spikes as an off hand attack.
