although not exactly RAW, there should be ways to prevent or delay your transformation. gentle repose could (and this is up to your DM) delay your transformation. The same could work with things like a bless spell. You were in animal form at the time of death, so you might just be not-humanoid...

hmm... I'd say the stabilize token would make use of the contingency spell, which would greatly increase the price

there are some advantages to spending an action point in the middle of your turn. This is also why there are different wordings for the bonuses granted by an action point. lvl 11 battle mage paragon class feature 'battle mage action': when you spend and action point to take an extra action, you...

Sounds like a schism in the making. Could be fun to split the church because of the PCs (see also Empirate's excellent post)

for knowing specifically about the cure, I'd also allow a healing check (possibly using int as the stat, since it's a knowledge check)

sky dragons were indeed blue, and had magic immunity.. damn.. I feel old.. Master of Magic was a really great DOS game..

it doesn't have a very mongol feel, but in races of faerun there's also the great rift skyguard prc. they ride hippogriffs, get mounted bonus feats and some cool abilitie. It's a glod dwarf prc and it's a flying mount, so is probably not your thing. for a mongol feel, I'd choose ranger. Light...

I know of one example that has explicit power levels. In the 3e setting Scarred Lands there are dark elves (these are NOT drow, for one they are heavily associated with golems). Their society's power structure is something like this (I'm doing this by heart, so I might be off a little): 1...

I hope 5e gets rid of subraces, and just gives a variable racial bonus. So you get a race 'elf', which means you have to choose a racial background (high, wood, wild, moon, sun star, drow/dark, gray, sea). In later expansions it's easy to add another racial background. The same for all races, so...

yeah, that'd work just fine and is a lot more historically accurate yeah, that'd work fine. Not sure about having it deal more damage than the more advanced longsword, but the reasoning is sound. I do remember it being crap in second edition. As for the real world, the staff sling was used...

dnd sometimes really screws up with weapons. -the Falchion: a 1 one-handed heavy blade. looks a lot like a machete with a crossguard. -the warhammer: You appear on the battlefield with a big block of iron on a stick? you're dead. it's an inferior mace. get rid of the dnd warhammer. rename the...

watch who you're calling a cannibal! They don't eat halflings!

I'm thinking something like the azec macahuitl, although that usually is made with obsidian. small bone bladed weapons have been made and used, so that should work in a macahuitl-like falchion. Ancient Aztec Weapon

this reminded me of the 2nd edition cleric spell solipsism. basically it's a reversed illusion: you automatically believe your own spell, everyone else gets to save (ofcourse allies will choose to miss their save). basically: cleric casts solipsism to create an unreal bridge across a chasm...

demons may not be able to get drunk... there's nothing that says they can't get intoxicated on other stuff.. like drinking the blood of a paladin or angelic being, or the blood of devils with a little holy water mixed in.

I think I speak for a lot of adventurers: The dungeon is the best treasure! as for the DM: Yay! adventure hooks!

a wizard can use a weapon-enchanted staff just fine as an implement, and benefit from its powers/properties/etcetera. I don't see why a monk would be restricted to only powers with the weapon keyword. I say let him use it. There shouldn't be any balance problems, and it's more fun for the player.

medieval world.. from Army of Darkness! Demons, Deadites, the Necronomicon ex mortis.. what's not to like?

warforged. They stack because it makes for more efficient storage of these warmachines.

just about the only exception I can think of, and it's debatable if it actually IS an exception, would be an ally with the epic feat "spell stowaway (timestop)". Ask your DM before trying this slightly cheesy trick. If you're epic level though, you're supposed to have extra cheese AND extra bacon.
