Poorly. Well, you did ask . . . :p The problem with WotC doing a fey book is that they have painted themselves into a corner with the various MMs out already. Many creatures long considered fey in traditions, legends, and myths are not fey in the MMs. If they re-engineer these creatures...

I've only read the first page of posts, so maybe this has already been covered, but here are a few considerations, considering as this thread was inspired by the Taboo in Deathly Hallows. First, Voldemort did not innately have the ability, nor did his followers. He only gained this advantage...

Actually, it had been a couple years - and I have mixed multifolder bookmarks and rss feeds on my bookmark toolbar, so I had forgotten that it was actually a set of bookmarks pre-organized by d20srd.org for their site that I had imported into my bookmark toolbar. Of course, firefox's search...

It has been really interesting to read all these posts. I have found it more interesting that long standing and respected posters have seen the same well known character in completely opposite lights - some seeing LE, others CE. Myself? I think that as a child he was NN with chaotic...

No, but . . . . . . I have a RSS feed from the d20srd.org site as one of the links on my bookmark toolbar, allowing me to look up even obscure aspects of the srd in only a few seconds, finally using a right click on the bookmarked / rss link to open the relevant section in a tab. As such, while...

Um, I don't know about other DMs, but if the rogue needs to emulate more than one feature to use a magic item, I would require multiple UMD checks. In this case, a DC 20 (emulate Class feature, for pretending to be a wizard [necromancer specializing perhaps pushing that DC up to 22]), a DC 25...

Depending on the item, I might just give it to him - with the proviso that what is good for the PCs is also good for the NPCs. However, I would not add the discounts together. I would multiply them, thus reducing the final actual discount. For an example: An item costs 10,000 gp to make. After...

It is also partly the fault of the setting. Forgotten Realms specifically states that a deity's power is directly proportional to their number of worshipers. Shar, as one of the few (relatively speaking) Greater Deities, therefore, must also be amongst those deities with the most worshipers...

No preferrence so long as the dungeon makes sense. If it is small or large and has the stereotype "one orc lives in a locked 10 x 10 room with a treasure chest" then I don't like it. I like the idea of dungeons having a theme to them, I admit - whether it be a partially buried lost city, an...

The idea of a vampire needing a phylactery just seems odd to me. I can understand the parallel you are making to the 'ghost form -> gravesite -> heal -> returns' and a lich reforming next to a phyllactery, but the legends a vampire is based upon have no precedent for a vampire actually being...

I wouldn't make it a full class, but I can see it as a PrC rather well. The agiel would gain additional abilities with every other level, from merely causing damage (perhaps equivalent to an Inflict Light Wounds spell?) to additional abilities (nausiate, stun, ability damage (dex? due to nerve...

This wouldn't be usable until level eight, and it would be of little consequence until a level or two after that due to the low chance of the second strike hitting (initially). Then, at level 15 it would allow a third attack that has almost no chance of hitting anything not killable in one hit...

Personally, I would state that he made two wishes. The angels appeared shortly after his first wish and left to fulfill it. That he kept speaking beyond the first wish was immaterial to them. As such, the angels, by whatever means, are cleansing the Mournlands. As for how . . . A while back I...

The 'heals immediately' idea I leave for things like Fast Healing and Regeneration. Damage Reduction is a difficult concept to work with sometimes due to its nature of being somewhat inbetween natural armor and fast healing / regeneration. Typically, it seems to be used when the weapon should...

Having not read much spelljammer, much of what I am about to say is supposition based upon my understanding of where the concept of crystal spheres came from. That said . . . It was once believed that the stars were set in the heavens - literally points of light / fire embedded in solid crystal...

Since Rapid Summons replaces Summon Familiar - which is a feat, were I his DM I would require he spend a feat to take it. I would add in pre-reqs such as Spell Focus (Conjuration) and Augment Summoning, but from his example character above it seems he's already taken those. And I agree...

That suggests that if the polar regions were nearly frozen solid during the winter months then even a 'balmy' 60 at the equator could be enough for hurricane formation (due to temperature differences). Hmm, a hurricane with the occasional ice berg tossed in for added excitement sounds...

Depends on how large the insects are and what the air pressure / content is. Higher O2 and somewhat higher pressure allowed for eagle-sized dragon flies, after all, as well as spiders, scorpions, ants, etc that were notably larger than their modern counterparts. Meganeura, the eagle sized...

Um, the article is only about feathered birds. Pterasaurs could actually get quite a bit bigger as they used taunt skin instead of feathers - suggesting that bats could perhaps also get bigger than birds.

An interesting set up. What if the Kuo-toa trade with the vrock for Pure Hope? Perhaps it can also help open an underground portal to the elemental plane of water? The idea that Pure Hope - normally a celestial gift, is being created / extracted through fiendish means that leave captured...
