If I understand green slime correctly, the result of a dive should simply be a bit of added mass to the gloop. This is for a small "patch" of slime. Full immersion should do more. Let's say 4d6 per round. Round 1: Your party sees you dive in and sees bubbles (-4d6Con) Round 2: More bubbles...

Tell me about the moon...

Well, you dont have much time, so a few easy suggestions: Send a lackey to parley with the party. She could extract a price from them to let them live for a certain period of time. Basically they buy her off to have a free day of looting (not her treasure though). Are there any power...

Ahhhh. The infamous Dung* Monster from Rappan Athuk. *Shiver* Baaaad memory. ~D * changed to protect the innocent.

I agree - except that if you understand undercommon (or if the illithid knows more than one language and included is one you understand), it can simply tell you its wishes (it is just a charm after all). I tend to assume the phrase "can prevent the character from exercising control" as meaning...

Ah... If it's not too much trouble, can you post wording of this out of the psionic hb for completeness? Lucky me, I don't play in worlds with psionics. I wonder - how do other, admittedly non-"mind" attacks, such as sonic orb work? Hrmph. Assuming you are correct, I wonder if one can make a...

Andargor, While the prospect of fighting one or two (watch those EL ranges DM!) flayers is daunting, you have won the most critical phase of the match - you know what you are up against (assuming these are indeed what you face...). I rather doubt you will have the luxury of surprise when...

Questions Regarding A Succubus: 1. If we assume that the phrase "can assume any humanoid form of Small to Large size" to mean that a succubus may only assume the form of a *humanoid* (as defined by the monster manual), can someone give an example of a large-size *humanoid*? Otherwise, should...

Perhaps a night hag who has been able to modify her heartstone to allow her to affect good/neutral creatures. Then the party must seek her out before they die from con loss. Should give them enough time as she will only affect one of the poor saps per night. To resolve the CR problem, you can...

Yes, the charm tactic is useful - I still have vestigial memories of editions where elves were nigh immune to charm... I would still see that tactic as a three round maneuver which requires a failed save. Better to use when the party is unaware of the flayer for a long period of time. In any...

Actually, when facing Illithids, many knowledgable wizards may assume they are projected and use dispel magic over fireballs. If the wizard gets a hint he is facing the creatures, always use detect invis and watch for cords to be sure. Thus, the true rat bastard DM will not give anything...

First of all we should examine the required EL of the encounter: THE PARTY: (CR11+CR11+CR9+CR9)=CR10 for a challenging encounter (4xCR10)+CR10[the halfling]=CR12 for a challenging encounter Assuming you are driving for a slightly more difficult encounter, I would shoot for around CR13-14...

aasimar paladin1=sorcererX. with a good 'virgin-birth' type background to the heroine paladin mom who was resurrected and discovered to be pregnant, this combo rocks. ~D

This has been troubling me for a while now: 1. Cleric casts silence on rogue 2. Rogue moves next to BadGuy Wizard 3. Rogue readies an action to follow B. Wizard if he moves. Now: What happens? Because this is a "turn based" system, the Wizard makes a motion to move. Ah ha! The rogue's action...

So, I am thinking of something like this: 1. hurt living human PC fighting an evil nasty BBEG 2. ghost npc casts a cure spell and touches human rising through floor 3. human takes 1d4pnts of damage from the ghost's "corrupting touch" 4. the ghost then cures the human with the spell 5. assuming...

A former good cleric (NPC), turned into a ghost (but not evil; long story) wants to cast a healing spell (he is still receiving spells from his diety). One, is this possible given his "negative planular nature"? He may cause damage at the same time and may take damage (i suppose) during the...

that's fine - its just the ubiquitous character excel spreadsheet lists bonuses in the "base saves" slot. keep repeating "use the books. use the books." it's a reasonable, if flawed, tool. thx. ~D

what is included? It states the familiar gets the sorcerer's base "base saves". Would this include "divine grace" from a paladin (or similar) multiclass? Thx, ~D

Hmmmm. So, if I used a Contingency-Dispel Magic it could: Target dispel a charm monster or hold monster spell (only after I missed my save) But could not be used against a failed disintegrate save (for, then, alas, it would be too late). Correct? Or, because the dispel is targeting a...

Will combo work? "If I am targeted with spell X (that affects my person, such as, say magic missile), I counter the spell with a magic missile". Or can I only "target" the spell cast at me with a dispel magic? "If I am targeted with a magic missile, I cast a dispel magic targeting that...
