Hrm. Blood-Spirit for Possession, Flesh-Spirit for Domination, maybe?

One could make the argument that the living silence is engulfing rocks and dust and sticks and things all the time, imparting the silence spell as it goes. As such, not only is it silent, but everywhere it goes REMAINS silent...

If you want to play stealing from other characters, play Paranoia. If you play a communist, you might even get to play the very character you refer to above! And yet, somehow, I see the Paranoia character as having a longer potential lifespan than the D&D version...

Made the changes. Yeah, that takes care of a big issue right there. To be honest, fighting against people on the ground, it's more likely to try and trample though, since 1) The save on that is so high and 2) it replaces having to make an attack roll and 3) it works on as many opponents as...

You know, that's actually a pretty compelling picture in my mind. Imagine being awake, and yet hounded by nightmares interacting with the world you can see... being utterly helpless to do anything, yet still recieving sensory information, and mixing that sensory information with nonsense...

How did you determine the CRs for the advanced critters on the fly like that? I statted out a quick and dirty 96 HD Necronaut here... it'd be nice to know how you arrived at the figure of CR 26 for it. I'm a little concerned that the DCs it offers might be a little on the high side...

Wow, you're right. I'd never noticed that before. That's nasty. But I guess they can take it after all. Yowch. I wonder if that means the lich is eligable for INA too...

Okay. Well, I have a heart for the little itsy bitsy baby dragons. And of course, for a low level party, they can be quite deadly indeed. But of course you know, that dragons of any age are CR'd for a party prepared for the fight. Upper Krust's more rigourous re-CRing of monsters, which has...

Admittably, the wiki is a little short on ECL 12 characters, and could definitely use more. Mind donating yours?

Here's a quick question for you in responce: how much damage does a Collossal size lich do with a touch attack?

How about the Call seed? There always is the difficulty of dealing with things based on HD, as we all know that the HD to CR/KR ratio can vary wildly from creature to creature. And what about templates? Esspecially since there are a largish number of VERY nasty templates that don't add...

I had one encounter with an adult white dragon that the party faced unprepared, and it was very nearly a TPK. Would have been had I not allowed a Deus Ex Machina enter into the equation. I'm not a killer DM though. I had put MORE than plenty warning signs up. The party wanted to go visit a...

One of the key features of the akalich is the fact that it is a specific menace to gods. Yeah, if you're mortal you probably don't want to mess with it either, but it seems designed with immortals specifically in mind. What if the Erythreon had the ability, not to steal the souls of gods, but...

No, you're basically correct. Except use the abbreviation EL instead of CR.

Since only a DM gets to do such things, it's your call. Custom monsters are custom, any guidelines are just guidelines. I personally take a look at the HD to integrated level ratio, and keep it equal. You may decide otherwise. The easiest thing, of course, would be simply to give the naga...

I would vote for heavy armors providing either DR x/--, or better yet, hardness, as mentioned above. It's amazing how effective even a couple points of DR or hardness can save your butt. Maybe even just 1 point for plate, 2 for full... better yet, allow enhancement bonuses to this. If not...

Far, far better wording on this poll. I predict that option 1 will get next to no votes, which I gather was the "point to prove" in the previous poll, but that option 2 will get quite a few votes...

On the note of giving other creatures all kinds of advantages that humans don't have, but keeping at least something for the humans, I think the most potent in my mind is the story of the Little Mermaid. NOT Disney's version. In the actual story, the merpeople live hundreds of years and then...

Relevant text, for reference, again. Mitigating circumstances: The PHBII specifically states that YES, YOU CAN. There are references (someone else can quote them for me) which states that a feat is an effect. Some people choose to ignore these, insisting that a feat is not an effect. I have...

I love two descriptions of fae I've read, not nessesarily linked to D&D fae, but interesting anyway. The first is that fae are almost completely alien to our mindset, and anything we percieve them doing is only our attempt at rationalizing something that we simply can't make sense of. The way...
