It's just too bad it's simple brickwork; it would have been so much cooler if it had been green marble engraved with inhuman faces and twisted depictions of obscene rituals.

Yeah, I know. My own theory is that people are only really hurt when their remaining hit points are less than their hp total (duh) and less than their (normal, unmodified) Constitution score*. At low levels, when the hit points have not yet outgrown the Con score, every hit hurts. After, they're...

I would have thought that the copyrightable part wouldn't be so much the table as the choice of bonus progression types (good, median, or bad). Because the save and attack bonuses are quite straightforwardly formulaic: full, three-quarters, one-half for BAB, third or half+2 for saves. Sometimes...

After having seen in a Ravenloft sourcebook that "ghost", "phantom" and "geist" were all different creatures, I can only agree with you.

I think so, too; and if the answer is "a certain number of things were designed from the start to be mysteries and never have official answers," then we both remembered correctly! :p Can you at least say, about the aquatic nations, what critters were used? Sahuagins, of course, are in the...

Woah, as Keenu would say. I'm not sure exactly how I got here from there but that was quite a trip.

I don't think so. Thread count is a unit measuring how fine a textile is; and the thread count for Order of the Stick on the giantitp forums alone is nearly nine times 600.

I liked the cheesy way this was done in the good old Doom games. "Demons are invading. They came through that portal. You don't see how to close it from your side, so you hop in and go to hell to close it from the other side." The best, though, was in Doom2, where you go in Hell and destroy Hell...

Is it D&D? Then they better hope they got a druid, a wizard, a sorcerer, and a cleric. High level the four of them. This kind of thing isn't survivable at all without magic, and lots of it. Three fronts: 1. Preventing the ship from just sinking because of water density. This is tough, but...

It was unexpected, which isn't surprising. (Or you could have the reverse: ) It was surprising, which was expected. (Doesn't evoke the same things, though.)

At least, my life's work is complete! Soon enough, they all fell down. This is not what it seems.

Yeah, though that character described himself as a forest dwarf.

Beorn is quite different from a berserker, though. Sure, he's tough and fierce in combat, but he's also quite amiable and helpful, if rather gruff, to Gandalf, Bilbo, and the dwarves. In D&D terms, I'd make him a were-direbear, neutral good, and a druid or ranger given how he talk to his dogs...

Not even that. Saint Martha, the girl in question, was just unphased and talked politely to the Tarasque instead of fleeing in terror like everyone else. And the big monster, which had always been shunned and reviled, was touched that for the first time she (la Tarasque) was treated with...

There are many creatures that are natural dungeon builders, such as the thoqqa or the delver from the MM.

Uh... How would you qualify someone pushing a lawful or chaotic agenda? And if your chaotic people are about how the ends are more important than the means, won't they fall into the evil trap that is thinking the ends justify the means? ("Here, I saved your child from the flames." "You tossed...

Look better at that table: Evil creatures (other than undead and outsiders) Evil outsiders Evil magic item or spell <the space you are looking at is the ABSENCE of the word "evil"> undead <the space you are looking at is the ABSENCE of the word "evil"> cleric of an evil deity As I said...

What Jasin said. Detect evil is not a fair spell. A neutral cleric of an evil deity but not actually devoted to evil causes (emphasising instead the other elements of the god's portfolio) would seem more evil than a fiend-worshipping psychopathic serial murderer who is not a cleric or...

The fun thing with Good Undead is that they ping on both Detect Evil ('cause undeath is evil) and Detect Good ('cause they are). And as for the Deathless, I prefer them in their original favor (normal corpse in which the soul goes back and animate it temporarily if needed) rather than in their...

FIFY, but where do these augment crystals come from?
