At CR 8, should you wish to go that far (and petrify several characters at once), there's always the Gorgon [1] [1] On an unrelated note, am I the only one who has always been extremely annoyed at this egregious abuse of well-known mythological monsters? "A Medusa", FFS. You could have...

I would say yes, you do shoot ammunition; making an attack with a missile weapon requires that you expend ammunition. You're still making an attack with the Stand Still feat, you just don't do any damage with it; therefore you expend ammunition to make the attack. As such, I'd say that...

After which, the fighter's player takes several Attacks of Irritation from his gaming groups who want him to stop being such a useless *sshole ;) If the creature in question is a Hydra, the fighter is going to have a very bad day. Short, but bad.

Spell Resistance for +1 LA? Forget it. Not only do I doubt there's a template out there that gives SR worth a damn for that LA, but you don't friggin' want spell resistance in most situations. That standard action you have to take to lower your resistance so you can get healed, buffed or...

Well, fair enough: in which case the strongest piece of advice I can give you is don't start creating new stuff until you've tried playing by the book! I'm not trying to be persnicketty here, but I'm telling you straight: it's a big system to learn - well worth it, but still - and you're going...

Well pedanted! :D

I can hear the ice creaking under my feet here, but the argument I'd proffer in this case is that "taking an attack of opportunity" is not the same as "making an attack". The very simple reasoning behind this is that "the attack action" is a standard action, whereas an attack of opportunity...

A Spectre isn't challenging enough? For a THIRD-LEVEL party? A creature that bestows 2 negative levels per touch attack? Really?! And if you believe it isn't tough enough, why have you made a creature that's significantly weaker than a Spectre? Or are you saying that all this is in addition...

Unless the creature has the ability (as some do) of taking multiple Attacks of Opportunity in a round, the answer is a definitive no. Also, this:

For sure. From the reading of the spell, using it to do something is one of those "not an action" actions like knocking an arrow to a bow. Casting the spell is an action, concentrating on the spell is an action, but the "doing something" non-action is intrinsic to the action you have to take...

For stat and flavour synergy, a Favored Soul of a fire or destruction god might be better than a cleric. Other suggestions: Hellfire Warlock, or a Wilder that favours burning things with his mind. If you've got two decent stats, maybe a Wu Jen heading for Elemental Mastery (fire) and/or (if...

A few ideas, expanding on the linked-to-Plane-of-Air theme from thewallshadow: 1) Perhaps the island is held up by 1001 Huge Air Elementals, bound to service for 1,000 years (or more, or less) by... ...a powerful caster ...an ancient compact or treaty that ended a war between the Material...

No, not unless he has somehow managed to get enlarge person on his class spell list or has ranks in the Use Magic Device skill. Assuming he has found a way to use the wand in the first place, yes. If you're following the rules including the errata for Wild Shape then yes, he remains large...

Overchannel and Talented are a given, as is Metamorphic Transfer and Psicrystal Affinity: I may get the latter for free as I'm thinking of going with the Erudite variant rather than plain Psion. I may even go further and get the Convert Spell to Power variant if that isn't overkill with a...

Many thanks to all those who contributed to my previous thread, even if the end result was more-or-less that it wasn't possible to do what I wanted :) Our new DM seems keen to try Psionics, which is something none of us have touched since 2nd Edition. As such, I dutifully hit the books...

If you're playing Eberron, or if you have a DM who can be persuaded to allow classes to be ported from one campaign setting to another, you want to look at the Sovereign Speaker PrC. You will find the most comprehensive guide ever written for getting lots of domains and abusing the hell out of...

OK, don't worry: it's not hard. Firstly, it's not moving *into* someone's threat squares that causes the AoO, it's *leaving* a square that someone threatens. So if Player 1 threatens the square that the enemy starts out in, the enemy provokes an attack of opportunity for leaving it unless he...

Vigilante (Completee Adventurer) nets you the good Will save and fits thematically, but has some fairly punishing skill requirements. If you're prepared to take the 1-point BAB loss, there are plenty of options. Taking a single level in Dragon Shaman (PHB2) might not be an awful idea: it's not...

Actually, if you've never worked it out you'd be surprised at how little effect Power Attack has on average damage across the range of AC's you'd reasonably expect to hit.
