Essentially, our group is throwing around the idea of an elephant with a few levels in druid. we're not even completely sure if it'll play a part in one of our campaigns, if it'll be a pc, npc, monster, or who will dm. But either way it's become a topic of conversation, with a lot of "does that...

that's a good point too, shape. So it's determined that creatures with 2 or lower cannot gain class levels. Though i've seen min/maxed barbarians and fighters with 3 intelligence :P But then what about undead (skeletons/zombies)? Can they level? They have no intelligence score

So, I want to know if there is any rule that specifically says animals (normal animals, in this case an elephant) CANNOT take levels in a PC class. I know why it might be a bad idea, how it could be explained as improbable or impossible flavor wise. But the question is, is there anything...

That's a good point. I never even thought about abusing it to sell the ammunition. With arrows, that's a fair amount of money for low-mid levels. Especially low levels. But with things with more expensive ammunition like crossbows, ballistae, and even muskets (in a renaissance campaign), that...

Good god. Whatever you do, do NOT pit a Remhoraz against a Frost Worm. Frost Worms have two traits that make that a spectator NIGHTMARE. 1. Cold Subtype (Remhoraz deal huge fire damage) 2. "Death Throes (Ex) When killed, a frost worm turns to ice and shatters in an explosion that deals 12d6...

Underpowered? Well that's good to hear. I was worried it might be a little overpowered at +1, being that it would make even Heavy crossbows a free action. Not that the difference between 1d8 and 1d10 is that massive. Thanks :) I'll definitely check out Complete Book of Eldrich might. Anyone...

I'm looking to homebrew a ranged weapon enhancement (provided one doesn't already exist) that immediately replenishes the weapon with standard, mundane ammunition. The player could chose to not activate this power if they desired (to load the weapon with other ammunition). It would, in...

True, it probably would be.

I figure that, due to a lack of specification of what makes alchemical silver not normal silver, I'd just use the hardness for each interchangeably, unless i'm missing something.

One of the important parts of the question is the word "canon". So far, as per wotc (I'd even accept something by swords and sorcery): Silver has a hardness of 8 and 10hp/inch (dmg) Bronze has a hardness of 9 and 20hp/inch (arms&equipment) I'm still blown away that no one at wizards (from what...

Man, I have been gone a while. There's a new Q&A forum? I guess alchemical silver can just be ruled as the same as any other silver, fixes that problem. The hardness info is helpful, but how are the hitpoints complicated?

I can't find any canon information on the hardness/hp per inch of thickness on any of the following materials: -Bronze -Silver -Gold -Electrum Electrum makes sense, but bronze armor is specifically mentioned in the DMG. And someone must have wanted to smash a gold object at some point. Does...

I'm considering giving a halfling bard a sling with Magic Stones (as per the spell/potion in the core books). Would the fact of the sling/stones being smaller than those meant for a medium creature affect their damage? For a normal stone, i know they would, but being a magical effect, I'm not...

So, a friend of mine has a rogue, who has taken a STRONG liking to a mimic i created. Now, mimics have low but human intelligence, so they can reason, have a personality, and think, even if their thoughts are a little one-dimensional. "Gold. More gold? This will get me gold." He wants to take...

I have several questions concerning Earth Elementals as familiars. One of my players wants one, and I think it will work out well. 1.) Can they wear magic items? They do not have fingers, so obviously can't wear rings, but clearly have a head/neck/shoulders, and could conceivably wear amulets...

Thank you for all the information btw, it's cleared up a lot of questions and smoothed out the game a good bit already.

I had never used hexes before, mostly just free-formed terrain. I've played with a lot of "less rules is more" RPers, so its never been a large issue. I started making a hex map, and the first thing i notice is that, assuming north is up and south is down, going due east or due west would get...

That does help a lot. What book do you mean by "The Expert book"? Are there any other books that give insight on this? I like the concept of hexes a lot. I may implement them. An average person walks at 3 miles an hour on flat ground, so how I've been doing it isn't a crazy amount different...

My DMG says all kinds of things about random encounters in a DUNGEON, but very little in the way of how to determine random encounters in a wilderness setting. Deserts, swamps, forests, mountains, hills. The problem i get is not WHAT to encounter, i can make an encounter table pretty well. My...

kk, so possible, but not likely unless planned in advance.
