The game I'm in uses Knowledge(Monsters) as the relevant skill. It's got really high dcs, and if it works, the response is usually something like 'You remember ancient kobold lore speaking of a creature that....' Dunno if it's altogether plausable, but it definitely saves time.

To keep you on your toes. That's how I get my fun, remember?

Yeah, but the gek-a-gek _still_ managed to be balanced, even when overpowered for his ecl. He never really used his sneeze dice (sneak attack = sneeze) to full effect, and didn't get a whole lot of use out of his other rogue thingys. In retrospect, if he had spent less time observing for a death...

The flavor text possiblities are nice as well. Rather than simply doing the whole 'You wave your hands and magical energy comes out,' it would be a bit more dramatic, 'As you speak the verbal components of the spell, a symbol on your staff begins to writhe and glow, moving up towards the tip...

Hmmm... good ideas all. I'm using the katana 2handed, and I'm going for a dancing wakazashi, and an animated shield. The current plan is to make the wakazashi +5 dancing, sure striking and adamantine, whereas the katana itself is +3 keen of sharpness with acidic burst thrown in. My ideas were...

Yep, it's called 'apprenticing' or something like that. Basically used for multiclassed 1st level characters, but it transfers over to ecls real easy.

Hmmm... could I ride one? We _are_ playing in a reptilian campaign. Maybe just a cameo or something, please :)

Hmmm... if you decide that the sudden size change manages to rip apart clothing and possesions, then the fragments are going to have to go somewhere, and fast, right? I'm thinking d6 to all within 5', reflex dc 17 for half?

Hmmm... Theif seemed to be heavy on stealing very expensive things. Add a magical item (rare, remember) and suddenly you've got an impedus. Get a buyer or fence to let slip that he's heard about it, and that he'd be willing to pay a pretty penny, and you've got a plot hook. If you're willing to...

I've only got about 70 or so, but it's been interesting seeing the collection grow. What started as a single set from the 2nd Edition starter box has slowly but surely grown. At first, I could fit them all in a child's sock tied with string. Then, it went to the bottom half of a size 10 sock...

Yeah, but I didn't take that feat ;)

With the new DR rules in 3.5 making specific weapon types very important, I thought it would be a good idea to see what ways you can improve the power of a weapon without spending the hundreds of thousand gps normally needed for them. In this case, (mostly because it's what my current character...

Yeah, but we've gone up from level 3 fairly quickly, maybe 3 months total? Figure that we can fit in longer/more frequent sessions during the summer, and I can imagine getting another 20 levels in 6 months. It'll a long shot, but do-able.

Hmmmm... I'd be quite afraid if my DM made that happen. A real ratbastard would start putting in some really nasty side effects in the moments before.

Wow. If me mum had that kind of l3wt, I would have offed her already ;)

11. Use 1 die for each type of roll. Have your "reflex save against dragons d20" in a seperate baggy from your "will save against mind-flayers" baggy. Consider getting a divider box to keep them seperate and labeled.

9. Use them for slingshot ammo (Dice can be _very_ effective projectile weapons. One of our players lost a fishbowl that way)

I mostly have auto-identifying items, just because it keeps the party on track, and not spending half the session dealing with the market economics of buying/selling/identifying. It seems to me that a good house rule for analyze dweomer is to make it work on nonmagical items as well. In effect...

Demiurge, howsabout this: You throw one of these at us, and I watch the movies. We'll probably hit level 28 or so in about 6 months or so, which is just in time. Whatdya think?

Whew. CR 29. Good thing our epic level campaign ended ;) Looks very nice, as in 'I wouldn't want to be facing it'.
