Titans/Giants. All the artifacts get to be Huge. Mind Flayers(They only enslave and feed on the more dangerous subterranian humanoid races, thus not having to be evil, while some believe they should enslave all races). Lumi(Strange ancient statues where the head magically floats above the body...

Just make it masterwork ?

So, its ok to murder a helpless prisoner because his skin is green and scaly, and you don't want to haul him around? That falls right on Neutral Evil, imho. How would you feel if the DM had a bunch of good npc's do that to your character? <after a brief struggle, party is surrounded and...

If this thing is an artifact then I think it should do more than just, 1st level spell type abilities, to be honest. Making each type of power selectable at dawn would help balance out the power, so they don't just flip/flop around to get all the abilities they can out of the thing. I would...

The polymorph subschool is not applicable to polymorph....Thats...jeez, thats not confusing at all! Thanks WotC! Stupid PHB2! <sigh>.

Except whats printed in the PHB has changed in the PHB 2 with the introduction of the polymorph subschool I thought?, which was the point of my question. Whats the Latest ruling on how a permanent polymorphing works, especially regarding things like level adjustment(is there a faq entry i'm...

Specifically, I want permanently polymorph one of my players(or say, an NPC) into say, a Troll. Whats the resulting creature's capabilties? Does it have regeneration? Whats its physical and mental stats? Should it gain a level adjustment ? From the bit I've looked at in PHB2, it seems like he...

If you're a player? Totally kill the "favorite" player's character. That'll teach'm. ;) Seriously, this is more of a personal relationship-type problem, there's no rules I know of for "playing nice and fair", you'll probably have better answers for dealing with conflict like this in the General...

Thanks Skelso :) On a slightly related topic, do aboleth's and other creatures with the aquatic subtype suffer the -2 to hit/half damage penalty for fighting underwater ?

I've never ran one before, and looking over their abilities they seem like a pretty tough cookie. Has anyone ran them and found them to be under-CR'd? or are they just right and I'm just worrying too much about TPK'ing my party(all lvl 6)?

Well he should have 9 feats, which you already have picked out. He'll get 4 stat increases for HD, should probably be using the elite array for hise stats if he's not already , his BAB should be +24, and since he's gaining 16 HD his CR should go up by +5 to 13.(1 per 3 HD since he's a magical...

Hmm, Interesting Discrepancy...

I'd go with the text of Reduce Person:

There are several threads I believe about protection from evil. One thing worth asking, did the meat shield get his saving throw against the protection from evil ? He's certainly not going to blindly accept spells from ppl whom he's beating to death. When you say "following this" , do you mean...

You could find something tiny thats immune to poison and Dominate it and/or make a magic item that enslaves it to you. Flavorwise, this is what i'd do(if i'm understanding you): Reseach a Spell, say, Apply Poison(if this doesnt already exist somewhere). Create a hollow crystal golum-type...

I'm currently running a Ptolus campaign with 40 point buy. Yes, the PC's are more powerful than standard PC's. To balance it out, I give all monsters/NPC's Max HP, good feat selection(No Alertness or crap like that), and good tactics. No one's died yet but they've gone into the negatives several...

So..basically(for the Orge Mage) you want Cone Of Cold to do more damage? None of the other spell-like abilities seem to have a real issue with what the caster level is. You could just create something like an Elder Orge Mage, double the HD, give it more spell-like abilities, higher caster...

Don't run her as aggressively as she's capable? Substitute a good feat like Multiattack for something mostly worthless like Iron Will? I don't think your players will notice a huge difference between CR 12 and CR 13 anyway.

Agreed. The quality and ease of use beats anything else I've seen. Another vote for Ptolus.

Reference the "Creating custom magic items requires DM approval rule aka Rule 0 rule". :)
