Excellent idea. Here is some research: From the Rules of the Game: "Extradimensional spaces are notorious for creating spectacular and dangerous effects when placed inside each other; however, the dangers can be somewhat overrated. One bag of holding can be placed safely inside another (of...

It's still subject to interpretation. Despite the literal meaning, the writer's intent seems fairly clear.

From the Rules of the Game (if desired): "If the foe that is grappling you isn't aboard your mount, your mount cannot move away unless you fall off or escape the grapple first. The time you take escaping the grapple limits your mount to a single move. You can instead try to move your opponent...

Ditto. Or more accurately, my house rule (of which there are very few) reads: "Spike chains and spiked armor are best avoided." Although I'm a rules purist (and could even accomodate such), it's just easier to avoid the whole thing. Still, spiked chains exist even my my games (chain devils and...

Well, they are supposed to be a bit comical (i.e. "A nalfeshnee can fly despite its small wings"). I tried the Dragon series 2 wings, but they were actually too big (i.e. realistically sized). I end up buying a winged dove from a craft store and ripping the wings off (then fouling them up a bit...

I love that figure... I put wings on it and used it as an advanced Nalfeshnee (I also have some smaller King-Kong figures for use as regular Nalfeshnee). Agreed (as mentioned above), but this (and Hype's subsequent reply) was regarding HeavenShallBurn's statement that real world great apes could...

Yup. Note though: it has a 1 round casting time. By the time it takes effect (i.e. the next round), most opponent's should already be adjacent.

I've still gotta surmise that they conducted a more in-depth analysis on gorilla claws than any of us here. But if you have better scientific knowledge about gorilla fingernails, my mind can certainly be changed.

Yup. If you allies between you and the cleaver, you can often move about with impunity. So if a mook is planning to move towards the cleaver, her should either: a) have no allies already there (so they'll be no one to cleave unto), or b) move up behind his ally (using him for cover until the...

In the "Gorilla vs. Leopard" episode of Animal Face-off*, they only used slams and bites (and the bite was pretty minimal). Scratching wasn't even considered. * A TV show where they go into in-depth studies of the damage dealing potential of certain animals... then run 3-D computer simulations...

Despite the above info, I do agree it is a bit odd. Of course, they are size large and have reach even though "An adult male ape is 5½ to 6 feet tall", so maybe it is hard to use a slam at that range ;).

Quoted for truth. D&D apes are actually a separate species than our gorillas. From the rules: "These powerful omnivores resemble gorillas but are far more aggressive" This harkens back to when they were called "carnivorous apes" in AD&D, and were heavily influenced by Burroughs’ man-eating apes...

Yup. My question mark was for a different reason, but your post was still certainly useful for this thread. Thank you.

Drunken master?

Agreed. I'd call it a full round action that provokes.

Fixed. Put pronouns back to their original in Kmart Kommando's quote.

I specifically put "if desired" in my FAQ references to avoid such negativity. Despite condoned maligning on this particular board, most players find such quotes useful.

1) Hat (cloak) of disguise. 2) Robe of bones 3) Robe of useful items (with many of the items already removed).

From the 3.5 FAQ (if desired): "A double weapon can be wielded in two ways, either as a one-handed weapon and a light weapon, or as a single twohanded weapon. Either way, it follows the normal rules for using such weapons. Wielding as Two Weapons: The primary end (the “onehanded weapon”) adds...

While Daern's Instant Fortress is an option, most DM's wouldn't let you keep stuff in it while reduced. Another option is to own a gargantuan permanently animated object (that can serve as an RV and be left parked somewhere within 100 miles of the dungeon), then use ring gates and a portable...
