I was a bit of a spoil-sport back in my 1E days, and couldn't help but see the math of the Quickling. A move of 96 meant 960 feet per minute, since it used 10 foot squares and one minute rounds. Triple that outdoors, where squares became 10 yards (30 feet). That's 16 feet per second, or...

Read a bit beyond the English translations, which were heavily influenced by King James. James had a serious fear of witchcraft, and so the translator who worked on the King James Bible (first sanctioned English translation) played to the tastes of his royal sponsor. The original was several...

I once had a player whose character was designed to permanently kill other PCs. Another player's character, having seen this guy do what he thought was a secret between him and the DM, volunteered to "back him up" when he backtracked in the dungeon to mark some junctions. Long story short...

That was priceless, and exactly what I was looking for

Yeah, you could pretty much rename another class and add some veneer. Spirit Shaman would work, if you want your "Witch" to have more of a "Woods-witch" feel. This class has a "Spirit Guide" that they send out into the spirit realm to bring back spell knowledge, when they want to change their...

Let's consider a Large creature X. O O O O O O O O O O O O O O X X O O O O X X O O O O O O O O O O O O O O Look at the diagonals. His 10 foot reach is two squares, whether he occupies 1 square, four squares or nine squares. So an opponent standing at one of those corners, and Withdraws on...

Just because it's seasonal, are there any Witch class or PRCs in D&D 3.5 that are worth anything? I'm thinking that some sort of Ride skill, focused on Broom should be in there somewhere. I'm also thinking that Brew Potion would be a class feat, while Craft Alchemy would be prerequisite if...

The problem I see is that feats like Large and In Charge, which flat stop someone from approaching don't work on someone approaching on the diagonal. The AoO is triggered when an opponent *leaves* a threatened square, and takes place while they are still in it. If there isn't an actual...

That's a good answer. So the follow up question would have to be, does it apply to creatures with 10 ft. reach as well? (It says that reach weapons are the "one exception".)

You're right, the one sentence question, taken completely out of context, didn't specify limits. Read in the context of the thread, and the spell being discussed, the limits of that spell are pretty clear. Further comments on your post, and it's follow up complaint, are forbidden by ENWorld...

I spoke to my group today, and mentioned your advice. They like the idea of returning to the earlier version of the spell. I expect that we'll take a vote next week.

So... The problem you see with the spell is that it exists? Mmmm. Okay. I think that the spell could be salvaged if some more hard limits were imposed. For example, it spells out limits on flight, in terms of max speed and maneuverability, it spells out ground movement limits, it spells out...

First, all of the lycanthropic forms you mention are, well, lycanthropes. That is, they're templates, and barred by the spell. Additionally the Werebear and Were Tiger are both well over the five hit dice limits of the spell. As for flight, I agree that we need to enforce maneuverability...

If we're going to do a Res' on this thread, let's do it like we mean it. Let's discuss what's good and bad about the spell, and how to moderate it. Using the spell to gain extra Natural AC seems like the most obvious use. Lizardfolk are Humanoid, with +5 Natural Armor, and Troglodyte has +6...

Actually Gargoyle is a Monstrous Humanoid, which isn't the same thing. So, for that matter are Sahaugin and Minotaur. If your character is Humanoid, they you have to choose a Humanoid form, 5 HD or less, as your target form. If you take the Fey Blooded feat you can choose Fey forms like...

Yeah, we have a couple of retirees in the group, but we're not age restrictive.

I have a game group that meets every Saturday in Long Beach, CA, from noon until five. We currently have five people who are rock-solid in terms of attendance and play. Our sixth player is trying to become more of a regular, but life happens. We play D&D 3.5, and may experiment with other...

Okay, the obvious trap set would be Explosive Runes, meant to be detected and dealt with. Inside is a Symbol of Chaos, permanent, which will affect all around. (i.e. the party). And of course, the final chamber itself is not unique. There are five chambers with five books. Finding the right...

This is a purely theoretical exercise: I'm trying to figure out a Conjuration specialist. I'm not building one, just trying to see what the advantages are. I've read, many times, that Evocation casters, while common, aren't really optimum. They're trying to do via magic what any decent...

I was basing the damage not on D20 Modern grenades, but on D&D spell standards: 3rd level AoE damage spells do 1 D6 per caster level, max 10D6. But, this being a makeshift AoE I agree that the damage shouldn't match an actual damage spell As for your Rockburst spell: Interesting spell. I...
