On the other hand, if you really want to be true to the fairy tale archetype, it can't be dispelled using any method besides the prearranged condition. I'd say regular Bestow Curse if you're going to allow standard dispelling effects to work, and Greater Bestow Curse if you want to restrict it...

Now that's stretching things a bit much, don't you think? :p Glad to hear it! I just realized that I've been forgetting something rather important in the course of the discussion so far: Did I mention that this campaign will be taking place within a wild magic zone? And that devoted servants...

Ah, I see I was mistaken. But at any rate, I still don't believe AMFs will come up because while players do like to take advantage of tactics that negate their opponents' advantages, they also tend to avoid the use of such tactics that would also negate their own advantages. Players by the...

It doesn't, hence why I wrote "Her true form also becomes visible in an antimagic field". The "and just before she dies" is a separate clause describing a separate condition in which she becomes visible. Only incorporeal undead blink out in an AMF; as far as I can tell, non-undead incorporeal...

That would be rather tricky to do, given that swarms are unaffected by single-target spells. I'm sure I can find some options, but they'd take some digging to find.

That would be a very interesting fight, but it would take some tweaking to fit into what I have in mind. The idea I had was that for the early stage of the campaign the PCs will be dealing extensively with the Daughters, and particularly Dana, since she's the friendliest of the four. Once the...

I suppose "champion" might be a better word than bodyguard; you're quite right in assuming that the Elvenking's Daughters would all be formidable opponents in their own rights. Hm...yeah, this I could definitely work with. It doesn't quite have the same dramatic flair as the "suddenly a dragon...

That would be the easy way to do it, but doesn't really fit what I had in mind at all :p

Not forgot so much as deliberately left out for my own notes. Since this is still a work-in-progress, I deliberately kept it to just the HD themselves, saving the actual calculation of HP for the end. Though I probably should've thought to include that for the purposes of this post. For...

It kind of varies from game to game and group to group. Some games I've done at somebody's house/apartment, some have been at restaurants, and some have been in common areas in our university's dorms.

I had an idea for a boss monster I really want to use for the fey forest campaign I'm planning, but it turned out to be rather tricky to make in practice due to the fact that there's really nothing like it in any of the books I've seen, and it's a somewhat complicated concept. The short...

I agree with Tequila Sunrise that this might be a little bit too powerful. I haven't run the actual numbers, but I suspect that the DC would scale faster with level than your enemies' save bonuses would (since I'm pretty sure damage scales faster than save bonuses). It should probably have some...

Precise Shot, obnoxious feat tax though it is, at least somewhat makes sense -- it wouldn't exactly be easy to avoid friendly fire when shooting at the guy your ally is fighting in melee. Now, Point-Blank Shot, on the other hand. First off, it's a situational +1 to hit and damage...for a...

Hm, good point. But then again, I'd put the emphasis there on trained. Just as a random mutt won't be nearly as expensive as a trained guard dog or riding dog, neither will a random untrained raptor be anywhere near as expensive as a trained one. Though even for a trained bird of prey, I think...

Forget the necklace, my first priority is finding out what happened to my flippy-floppies! Do I at least still have my swim trunks?

Seconded. Spellthief/wizard might be more optimized, but personally I love the beguiler for this sort of thing. Mainly because I don't care for the hassle of picking out spell lists :p

Well...depending on how hard you optimize ;). Gestalt can enable some pretty powerful stuff if you know what you're doing.

An idea just struck me for a non-alignment-based ki strike variant: how about a ki strike that lets you penetrate miss chance due to concealment and similar effects, like Blur and Displacement? Call it "seeking strike" or "uncanny strike" or something. Could either make it work like Blind-Fight...

Given that you get the better of BAB, hit dice, and save bonuses at each level, I would assume that the same applies to caster levels, so you'd still be a full 6th-level caster.

Well, a trained guard dog costs 25 gp, so that's a good reference point to work from. Regular cats and dogs are ubiquitous in most human settlements -- companionship aside, cats are vital for protecting food stores from vermin, and dogs are great for hunting and security. I would assume that...
