    Attack of opportunity for each shot?

    But isn't the full attack one ranged attack. Not each shot?

    Attack of opportunity for each shot?

    So, our hero is an archer with multiple shots. Our monster has combat reflexes. So, is it one attack of opportunity for each shot? Or the act of using a missle weapon, one attack of opportunity for the attack with the ranged weapon.

    Skeletons can wear armor, right?

    Guess it's cinematic, too. Remember Jason and the argonauts and those skeletons. If I am not mistaken, shields, weapons, no armor. Decided against armor this time out. The clerics are invading our heroes' town and have an animate dead item (Value: only 31250) and are killing the town folk...

    Skeletons can wear armor, right?

    I mean they retain weapon proficiencies. How about armor proficiencies? The examples have them without armor but with weapons. Choice or rule? What say you all?

    Why does a javelin of lightning cost 1500 gp?

    And why would anyone buy a 5D6 attack, a one shot, at that cost? I can't seem to find the formula that would give a price of 1500 gp. I can see potion variant: user activated, 3rd level, 5th level caster = 750 gp. That seems perfect for it. Where does the 2 x cost come from? If anything, it...

    Item of Value: to pay for expensive spells

    Well, yes, an item would be 50 x base cost. But if the item only does it once a day, then 1/5 the cost. Similiar for stone skin.

    Item of Value: to pay for expensive spells

    So, there are a number of spells in which take an amount of money to cast. How about a device that, once a day, pays that amount, only for that spell? For an Identify, for example, it would be a big pearl cup like thing with a value of: 1000 gp (100 x 50/5) The caster would still have to...

    Why aren't potions labeled?

    I was just thinking of a beer hat. Cure potions on one side, boosty's on the other. You get a prize for best reason so far.

    Why aren't potions labeled?

    I know it goes back to 1st and probably links to the ol' potion miscability tables, but why don't the brewers mark their potions? Yeah, I know, it's one ounce, not much of to put a label on to, but maybe a symbol on the bottom? Bull for Bull's Strength, Cat, Owl, etc for the appropriate spell...

    Alt Tumble rules

    Good point. But no matter the CR, it's just a swing as they pass by. Only Hydras would get more than one chance.

    Alt Tumble rules

    And it is just as easy to move through a kobald with a pointed stick as it is to go past a CR 20 pit fiend - straight DC 25 role. That's just wrong, too. I treat it like bluff: Opposed role, tumble vs Base attack plus sense motive. Many higher level monsters have an OK sense motive rolls. And...

    Demons and "at will" spell-like abilities.

    Would the player characters do it if they could? Then the monsters would. Ten minutes, certainly. Minute long, probably. Round long, probably not. Unless they were about to go into combat.

    Anybody else up the damage when they up the CR?

    All average rolls: 8 th level fighter, 14 con = 64 HP 4D6 lethal damage, 14 pts. Fighter can take 4 hits, at least. 13th level fighter, 14 con = 104 hp 6D6 lethal, 22 pts Fighter can take 5 hits, maybe. Not bad. But 13th level fighter will have better chance of having resistance or protection...

    Anybody else up the damage when they up the CR?

    So, I'm doing a Destrachan, max HD. Doing the HD, size, CR, attack, claw damage is as easy as 3.14159... But what about the special attacks, the destructive harmonics. The saves are easy 1/2 HD +cha bonus +10. But should a CR 13 critter be doing 4D6 lethal, 6d6 subdual and '30 pt' sonic? I...

    Your fireball has melted 2" of stone. Now what?

    So, a 10 dice fireball, average damage, will melt 2"+ of stone in an average corridor. Now what? How do you cross melted stone? Does it instantly harden again? And the ceiling drips molten rock. A save to avoid it? Or 'it's magic Vahktang. Don't worry about it.'? Reason why I am asking is that...

    Is there something to protect against ability drain?

    So, I have a group of 18th level characters in the party I GM. I had an encounter with a dozen ghosts, for a good CR 18. I gave them all the ability drain, as well as some randomness. After the failed randomness, they ganged up on one character and almost killed him. Well, made it so he couldn't...

    Please help with shapeshift

    The ninth level spell. It says 'any non unique creature'. But isn't every creature unique with a history and desires of it's own? No? Forget about it, it's D & D? OK So, the question came up for templates. I think we can all agree that one cannot shapeshift into, say, a cleric, or a hill...
