Not to nitpick, but snakes, for example, never are both poisonous and constrictors. (Though a quick wiki lookup reveals that scientists speculate all snakes are at least mildly poisonous) And yes, "natural" abilities should be obvious, but what I meant was 4 "main" powers. A Naga, even a divine...

Perhaps U_K was refering to the limited # of spells Per day? A spellcaster can't cast too many epic spells, even if he or she knew "them all", like how a 17th level wizard can't cast every 9th level spell even if he has all of them in his spellbook. That, and an epic mage can only craft a...

Yes, subtlety is indeed a good thing. I think its easier to make a monster from a "What niche does this monster fill or why does it exist" standpoint than a "This thing kills you via powers A, B, C, D, E, and F and feats X, Y and Z." method. 1 to 4 simple, appropriate powers make for a more...

I think the main reason beings without Con cannot have regeneration is the way Regeneration is worded, not because it "Just couldn't happen." Fast healing doesnt allow for the regrowing of limbs, so what if I wanted some "regenerating" skeletons; Skeletons that reconstitute themselves unless...

Yea, the whole Regeneration issue is kindof odd. If you leave it as-is, any creature with a supernatural - kind of regen would love to be in an anti-magic field. ("Hah, you need holy weapons to kill me, but you can't have a holy weapon here, mwhahahaha!") Perhaps there should be a limit to how...

Well, Regeneration *usually* is overcome by Fire or Acid. What I say is if a being, like the Tarrasque, (Who is an abomination in all but title) who possess a supernatural regeneration with special features of note, (Like the tarrasque's unstoppable regen) lose those qualities. Ex: In an...

Well, I hope you took said time to take a breather, and have a merry holiday. Luck (or fate) just doesn't seem to agree with you. Neither does Time it seems. You've angered some deities it seems. (How ironic...):) Perhaps this year will be much less of a hastle than the last. Heck, you might...

The rules don't come out and say if you use Attack roll rules (for thrown weapons) or magic item activation rules (if it is supposed to work exactly like a fireball). I would say, since it says "hurl" and " ...When a sphere arrives at the end of its trajectory..." and it mentions that the range...

If you just want to kill PCs, I suggest giving a Hecatonchieires levels in Hulking Hurler, and have it throw 50 moons at them. Or give it 10 levels in dervish and give it all the multi-dexterity feats, and have it fight with 100 Vorpal Wounding Scimitars of Speed while using A Thousand Cuts...

Nice class. Looks like a legitimatly useful class. I also agree with smootrk, this could also make for a generic class too. Like for those non-spellcasters, (Who take this class with alternate prerequisites) taking this class could give 5 levels of wizard spellcasting, (But no other benifits...

This kindof reminds me of a mechanic I thought up for super-fast beings. Eventually, being would want to move faster than even Superluminal, and the only thing faster than that is flat-out teleportation. So the idea I came up with was a "Space-Folding" power, similar to that of the Umbral Blot...

Neat, though spellcasters will definitely complain :). Or, what about if it does every action retroactively; Ex: If it grapples you in round 3, then it has effectively grappled you in round 1, and the results of that grapple would need to be rolled out. Or if it bites you in round 4, 3 other...

True, true. Though on the subject of Worship; Everything below a sidereal is going to use Worship as a primary source of Qp, because convinceing 1000 mook commoners to follow you is easier than killing a CR 32 being (for a weaker god, a combat god might want to beat stuff up for Pp). Sure, those...

Well, the spell looks fine to me. On the issue of being unable to raise the foe from the dead - In stead of taking the 1 minute cast time, you could just hack up the body... Easier than a 2nd level spell I would think... Preventing ressurection is pretty easy actually, but thankfully should be...

Well, another problem I see with pantheon limits is evolution. If say, I took a campaign, say, Forgotten Realms, and advanced the timeline a few millennia, what happens? More people would probably be born, and probably worship something. Does the Qp Potential for the pantheon go up? Setting a...

Ignoring the "greater effect that is totally DM controlled" parts of the spells, both Wish and Miracle are just opposites of each other, but have essentially the same effect. I personally think either one would work. I think Wish has an easier to arbitrate Greater effect, however. (DM either...

The Natural 20 rule only applies to attack rolls and Saving throws. Nothing Else. Not even checks to beat spell resistance. A good think it doesn't too, because a mage could just roll spellcraft to "unmake the universe" and wait for a 20... (silly example) Basically as long as you say "Make a...

True, the only benifit of having Wish in 3rd edition is the convenience of having access to almost every lower level spell. I don't think it would be so bad to attach a small quintessence cost to using the Wish power. At the divine tier you get wish at, not having access to the spells it...

I don't think it it specifically called out, but given the ease at which an epic character can obtain gold (Rob a kingdom, make it with an epic spell, etc) Its a fairly safe bet that a deity can amass pointless wealth, given the time.

I run a setting with lower-than-standard magic, (Ex: Magic items are few but powerful; Wizards are around, but the higher level spells are not well known, so even a 20th level wizard might only have one 9th level spell... And may only have heard of one or two others) so likewise I wanted to keep...
