    Full round spells+silence

    I'd have to say yes. Theres no hard rule for it, as in theres no quote that says "if someone brings a silence effect into range it disrupts the spell", but since silence cancels spells just like anything else it would fubar the spell too.

    trip with spiked chain

    Not really this is the one situation where reach doesn't help you. Besides the real advantage of reach is that provoke AoO when people try to get close enough to attack you.

    Dragon Skills

    Gotcha. They probably did it because its about 300 times easier to make a dragon that way vs using charts and tables and lots and lots of math to figure out what skills they got when at what age. Then again maybe dragons just get lots more at different points and it averages out to what the MM says.

    Death from natural causes?

    If you die from magical aging, its not really natural causes, its unnatural. You could probably wish they weren't aged and then raise them. Normally, however, when your time runs out you die and can't come back. Thats why all those wacky Wizards want to be Liches.

    SR for creatures (urgent)...

    Theres no real pattern, its a creature ability not unlike a breath weapon. It varies wildly from creature to creature. Some creatures a high SR while others have very little. HD is never really a factor. Ropers (CR10) have SR 28 and 10HD. Succubi (CR9) have SR 12 with 6HD. Osyluth (CR6) have SR...

    Divine Disciple PrC

    Since most domains only have a couple of good spells, its not a bad idea. The best part is the domain powers, though.

    ECL for Monster races who advance "By Character Class"?

    Extensive playtesting. Theres no formula, since monsters vary so wildly that its hard to use a default standard. As far as the whole reincarnation thing, someone else had a post about how the ECL doesn't change, but they don't get all the abilities (or something). Vaguely remember it from...

    ECL for Monster races who advance "By Character Class"?

    Xarlen explained it well. Being able to say Teleport at Will is insanely powerful (as are a ton of monster abilities), and as such would shoot your ECL through the roof. For a monster who lasts about 1 encounter its not a big deal (the same can be said of Regeneration-especially for...

    Does Detect Magic detect charmed individuals?

    If its an issue cast non-detection on him. As far as most charms go, its pretty obvious to most people anyway. Suddenly Greyhold the Blackhearted is the Paladin's best friend in the whole world. Ummm... a bit suspicious.

    Dragon Skills

    Retroactive? How so? They don't seem any different than anything else in the game.

    Adamantite Bypassing DR?

    Personally for me once a thread surpasses 3 pages its pretty much going to get stupid. I wish this thread would die so I don't have to see it everytime I jump on the forums. Heres an idea: Everyone play the way you want and leave the horse carcass alone.

    Poison prices... errata?

    Nothing. Contact poison is the best poison, since it can be used in basically any manner (ingested, inflicted, just not inhaled). Hence the errata.

    Spell Resistance Question

    Or for those who prefer the actual books (the SRD can and has been wrong on occasion). MM p215 -Half Dragon template. Text is the same as above.

    Touched One (Divine Sorcerer)

    Stunned with no save? *cringes* And having a permanent spell seems a bit powerful (Permanent Dispel Evil? Permanent Spell Resistance?!) I'd give the stunning effect a save along the lines of a Monks (with Cha as the stat), and I'd limit the Smite to Once per day. Otherwise it would take alot...

    Magic Weapon Pricing Question

    The cost of such a weapon would be so insanely high that it would be balanced, so I don't see it being an issue, unless your players have several hundred thousand gold and years of downtime.

    (Quick Question) Slings & STR?

    I started with the most obscure reference first, since I somehow knew it wouldn't be easy to find.

    Quick question about Blasphemy

    Well they aren't CR 18 for thier hit points.

    A druid and it's large friends..overbalanced?

    Re: Re: A druid and it's large friends..overbalanced? They're basically clerics who don't have as many spells and always want to find animals to befriend. There ya go. Oh and they cast lots of fire spells and get flamestrike a little earlier.

    CR versus EL and XP Award

    Nope if they fled they didn't "overcome the challenge" of the goblins. They only get XP once, for beating the goblins (they only beat them once). Now if right after dying the goblins leaped back to life and attacked then they'd probably get double. Damn Necromancers Actually by the book, you'd...
