Frank the DM? :uhoh:

Well, except for the bit about never getting to take paladin or monk levels again. :\

Wow. And diaglo's usually so comfortable with change ...

If you hate Wizards and Sorcerers that much, just ban the classes. Sheesh.

It's a big trade-off, and I have no doubt that the druid gives up both some power and a certain amount of flexibility in available forms. I've found* that the flexibility of unlimited swift-action shapechanging and the convenience of not having to track a huge stack of potential stat changes...

They work more often if you fully read them. Since it's been alluded to, but not quoted, in this thread, I'll do the typing work here: SPOT (Wis) Use this skill to notice bandits waiting in ambush, to see a rogue lurking in the alley, to see through a disguise, to read lips, or to see the...

Against foes without Combat Reflexes (i.e. virtually anybody), it may be useful for a tank or character with Mobility to provoke an AoO in order to make the AoO unavailable against a more vulnerable character later in the round. I had a monk who once helped a cleric who was out of turning...

I'm pretty sure it wasn't, because we looked that up during one of our games just a few weeks ago to clarify what a PC with multiple natural attacks was and wasn't able to do in a grapple. I don't remember the exact wording, but I remember it was quite clear that RotG said that such a character...

Ridley's Cohort's one-word response was spot on, actually ...

So, in theory, one could take out enough animal companions that the druid himself isn't worth any XP. Or negative XP. "Run away! If we defeat him, we'll lose a level!"

Hey ... it worked, so I can't complain. I was just worried that you'd end up fighting the dragon by yourself, because your Huge allies couldn't get into the cave to assist. That might have been ugly the other way ... It was fun looking up the rules for escaping a grapple from multiple...

That would be me ... I'm curious, what in the description would lead you to think that the druid loses access to his feats? There's a specific list of effects of shapeshifting; it seems to me that the default would be that the character has his same feats unless stated otherwise. Certain forms...

Heh. That Large dragon almost made it into the tunnel before the Huge cat & my druid's summoned giant crocodile got a solid grip on it. It wasn't running away. It was chasing the barbarian who, bless his simple soul, ran into the mouth of lair looking to smash some eggs. More muscles than...

I guess this means I won't get to play one that uses a spiked chain, then, Arknath? :p

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0425.html Heh. "But I don't want to fight in the shade!"

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0424.html :cool: Nice to know that V studies the classic wargames ...

Really? It only does 1 more point of damage, on average, than Disrupt Undead, and requires the caster to get within melee range. I don't see a problem ...

My general strategy for this sort of situation is to apply strategy is to apply the NPC attitude descriptions through a lens of relationship and situation. The sheriff probably does start out as unfriendly rather than hostile, and it would be pretty easy for a character with a decent Diplomacy...

I dunno. Can you change an undead to a living creature by casting Bear's Endurance on it? :) OK, non-smartass version: Having no Con score is not the same as having a 0 Con score. Adding 4 to a score of 0 gives you a temporary score of 4. Adding 4 to a nonexistent attribute does nothing...

Until we got into a situation like this, nobody understood why my elf druid always prepared faerie fire ... The human ranger archery specialist was so happy when there were suddenly visible targets. :)
