    Monster Manual V ?!

    I think there should be a cutoff for complexity's sake. Only give levels and more NACLs to the really difficult stuff, past say CR 5. And come one, classed Gishes, Gnolls, Drow? Low level mooks that people have been classing for about a decade in 3.5 shouldn't get treatment. From the cover it...

    Why all the demon love?

    Over 50 posts and only a one-liner about the complete decades-plus shafting of Daemons/Yugoloths. Weird. Fiendish Codex III seemed to be on most everyone's wish list less than 3 months ago. Why are Devils boring? The core devils can beat the everloving crap out of the core demons, any day of the...

    Frank's Advanced monsters

    Would knocking off 9 HD on the Polar Bear to make it Colossal and putting the Monster of Legend Template be worth it?

    Ridiculous amount of buffs

    And it is a waste of an action for NPCs and monsters, too. Instead of actually doing something they have to blow a whole action on casting Dispel Magic/Greater Dispel Magic. When the monsters are already likely to be outnumbered blowing a whole action is a waste that could prove fatal.

    Have I spoiled my PCs?

    Avert gaze and try to throw a Will save spell on it. It doesn't seem like that harsh of an encounter.

    Metalheads! Confess & Brag

    I weeded out the crap in the brags that I didn't like. Good list! For the record why the hell are you "confessing" to bands like Van Halen, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, the Beatles, Rainbow, Blue Oyster Cult and Aerosmith?

    Metalheads! Confess & Brag

    Is that the show in Milwaukee at the Rave? Because while I like DevilDriver and Dimmu Borgir and tolerate Unearth I was really only going for Kataklysm.

    Have I spoiled my PCs?

    Hey, sometimes the dice hate you. A group of 6 5th level PCs should be able to handle that and should have loot saved up and scrolls and potions and the like available to cure that. Sucks, though. Hey, at least it wasn't something like a bodak. Petrification is a rather large inconvenience...

    UF vs. OSU *again* - Who wins?

    Whichever team manages to stay out of foul trouble and shoot 40+ percent behind the arc will win. Everybody that I've heard who isn't a sports expert but just a casual watcher thinks this will be a blowout for Florida. Just like everyone said that OSU was going to kill Uf in the football game...

    Animal Barding

    Good point. Wolverines are many times bigger than all small races in Dungeons and Dragons. Look at the height and weight for gnomes, about 30 pounds. 30 pounds isn't jack, toddlers weigh 30 pounds.

    "Present" for a Rogue (L7) vs. Golems???

    Custom made doohickey of Golemstrike. Costs 4000 GP if on constantly. Its a second-level spell that allows sneak attacking on constructs.

    Would blending rangers and barbarians fix what is wrong with barbarians?

    And they are bone simple to make and run as NPCs, too. I don't like the arbitrary alignment restriction and would prefer that Rage simply be a mechanic and you make your own thematic name for it such as "The Zone" or "Adrenaline Surge" or "Combat Mode" or whatever. Other than some very minor...

    WotC mistakes that cause you headaches -

    Hydras, do they get one breath attack, one large one split into multiple heads, one breath attack for each head? Do they get attacks of opportunity up to the amount of heads they have? Just look for threads about them, they always inspire mondo debates. The monk/Improved Natty debate has been...

    Counter-intuitive monsters

    I re-read Fear and saw that if someone is under the effects of Fear they are totally hosed in a grapple and the Barbed Devil can Power Attack the bejeesus out of them. If I even run one I'll keep it in mind! I'm not too sure if this is counter-intuitive but enough already with the boar-like and...

    Counter-intuitive monsters

    The purpose of the Xorn is to work as mercenaries to mining races for food and trade with them, and in times of desperation conduct raids in which you get to make the PCs all angsty because they're killing starving True Neutrals. They are a perfectly cromulent creature and their inclusion in the...

    Is it ok to hate cats and still be a gamer?

    Miniature or standard? Standard poodles are pretty neat.

    WotC mistakes that cause you headaches -

    Hydras are a walking contradiction, 11 headed headaches. Does Improved Natural Attack work with Monks? Give us an answer already. Do mithril and twilight bring things down full categories so that characters proficient in light armor can wear them? Seems too good that bards can waltz around in...

    Counter-intuitive monsters

    Average damage from a monk punching a Remorhaz: 28 damage. Average damage from a monk being bitten by a Remorhaz: 21 damage. I was not aware of the rule that you automatically lose grapples when facing a creature two size categories larger than you Cmrscorpio.

    Would blending rangers and barbarians fix what is wrong with barbarians?

    What, you don't like Barbarians and Rangers? I'd take a Barbarian or a Ranger in my party over a fighter almost any day of the week and I LIKE fighters.
