The shapechange spell has been erratted as well: Shapechange Player's Handbook, page 277 Second sentence of spell description is in error. Change “more than twice your caster level in Hit Dice” to “more than your caster level in Hit Dice.” Also, change “50” to “25” So it's impossible to change...

CircuitCity is selling the ATI Radeon 9800 (non-pro version) for $200 after a $100 rebate: http://www.slickdeals.net/#p3906 The Radeon 9600 XT sells for about $200, and it comes with a coupon for a free copy of Half-Life 2. I have the older Radeon 9700 All-In-Wonder and it's excellent. I...

As a DM I feel the the new weapon size rules are an improvement. From a game mechanics standpoint it's easier for me to conceptualize weapons matching the size category of the wielding creature. This speeds my NPC creation. From a realism standpoint, it makes more sense as far as weapon...

Sure you could... use mundane methods like Gather Information. Magically, you could scry on his henchmen. And as a last and very powerful resort, you could use Greater Arcane Sight and just look at him (regardless of Mind Blank). That doesn't really count as "come better prepared", but it'll...

I don't ever want to use Disjunction if I can help it. I agree 100% that it's messy and may potentially destroy magic items. But vs. another wizard, a disjunction response is necessary for survival. If I find myself suddenly left defenseless from his disjoin, I have no choice but to hit him...

I imagine a wizard backed up against the wall would be a lot more likely to disjoin (I would). But when I actually get into character and consider how important magic is to me, years of study and all that, and then to have it all snuffed out with one unlucky disjoin, it adds a new perspective...

How about the alternative scenario: Now that all my stuff is toast (including my defensive spells), I allow him to keep all his defenses up just so I can indulge my greedy side in the miniscule chance that I survive the encounter and get to loot his body. Sorry, but I will respond in kind and...

Mutually Assured Disjunction I like green slime's atomic weapon analogy. I'm playing a high level wizard and we just reached a point where we can expect Disjunctions to start flying. My wizard has adopted the principle of Mutually Assured Disjunction - if my opponent launches on me, I'm...

Dark Jezter... your location "The Unapproachable West"... that's pretty funny. :)

Shipping Early Looks like it's coming out a week early (scoop courtesy of bluesnews.com) "Atari and Troika Games are pleased to announce that The Temple of Elemental Evil™ will now ship on September 16th and not September 23rd as previously reported. After years of research into the science...

I really like your stuff. Lots of creativity and detail. I liked the part about the keg and the gold. That was a very nice touch. :)

I can't seem to get enough Command and Conquer: Generals. I love that game. :) One good thing about being hooked to a game is that I don't feel like buying another one just to pass the time.

The Choker doesn't have hands, it has tentacles. Can it cast spells that use Somatic or Material components?

Does anyone know how hit points are affected when you assume a creature with different HD than your character level? For example, if my 19th level wizard changes into a 37HD dragon with Con 31, is that Con modifier applied to 19th level, or 37HD? That's obviously a huge difference. On the...

Hi. This is my first post so go easy on me. :) Anyhow, I started analyzing the shapechange spell recently for an upcoming game and I'd like to comment on your post. Look in the 3.5 MM for the proper ability score to calculate a monster's special attack DC. It is described under the attack...
