    Night Hag Queen

    You should probably clarify what you mean by "each head takes a full round action", since I doubt the hag can move 3 times by virtue of her 3 heads. I assume she could get 3 bites off in a round, or possibly use 3 spell like abilities in a round. Maybe give each head it's own standard action...

    I can't believe i'm really asking this question.....

    If the archmage doesn't grant caster progression, than the spell power ability is nigh-useless - "whoo hoo, I raise my effective caster level by one.... which makes me even since I didn't go up for archmage...except I gave up a 5th level spell."

    Enough about 4th edition...what will *5th* edition be like?

    I can't really see a VR unit or anything since versions 20 years ago involved getting a book and putting your character on a little sheet of paper, and versions now involve......getting a book and putting your character on paper. What I actually think is that in 10-20 years, there might be...

    D&D the ultimate fantasy

    D&D is not my ultimate fantasy. It's fun, but I think my ultimate fantasy would involve less me slogging through muck fighting creatures that would make any sane person run, and more of Tara Reid and Ashanti :cool:

    Concisely describe the 9 alignments in your campaign

    Simply put, I always felt: Good - Good is unselfish. It means helping others, sometimes at your own expense, because you believe that if everyone did this the world would be a perfect place. Neutral - Neutral means you are not motivated by a great desire to help or harm others. You are...

    Character Breeding

    He becomes an... electrum elf!! I would just go 50/50 or if you and the PC want to get into it... maybe roll randomly for "sections" of the elf, i.e. what stat they get bonus too. skill bonuses, etc... I don't really know what the diffs are though so I don't know how necessary it is.

    Vicious Weapon vs. Damage Reduction

    IMC we allow DR on ice storm. After all, it's "bludgeoning" damage. Being hit by a rock is being hit by a rock; tougher guys don't take as much.

    Foresight: Worst 9th Level Spell?

    If I was DMing that spell, I might be inclined to give the foresighted player a little "snapshot" of what the NPC's/enemies were planning to do. Something like "Ok, on your initiative, you have a vision of the enemy wizard shooting a green ray that reduces your cleric into ashes. You also see...

    Reducing arcane spell failure?

    Also, the Bladesinger PrC from CW eventually gets no failure whilst casting in light armor, as well as some other goodies. Sounds like it would fit your character also.

    Higher Crit Mod

    That's why you gotta love deepwood sniper. All arrrows crit on a 19-20, crit multiplier goes up by +2 eventually. Where's that +5 flaming and shocking burst longbow I left lying around?

    Grappling and Multiple Attacks

    Speaking of that, what's to stop a druid (or wiz/sorc) from carrying around a huge scimitar (maybe shrunk w/shrink item), then polymorphing into a dragon, picking up the huge scimitar, getting iterative attacks with it, and then owning with the rest of the dragon's "secondary natural attacks"?

    Grappling and Multiple Attacks

    So the Dragon actually circumvents the natural attack rules? He gets iterative attacks with his bite, and then gets to use all his other natural weapons? How is it a that the dragon actually gains attacks due to grappling? This seem broken as the iterative attack rules for creature's with...

    Universal Translator, Babelfish, or Pocahontas-style linguistics?

    I would go a bit farther and say that slang and colloquialisms and slang aren't translated for you. After all if what the goliath says is "make sure your spear is straight" in his native language, that's what you hear, not the intent behind it. That's why, as an english speaker, I can go to...

    Are you sick and tired of quoted movies during your D&D sessions?

    "Doctors and other wizards are forbidden on Mars!!" God I love that show. oh yeah, RIP Aqua Teen Hunger Force, we loved you dearly.

    Fable Cut Scenes

    If anything, it reminds me more of Zelda than morrowind. There's a fairly linear plot you can follow, but there's also a bunch of side stuff you can do (like getting the heart containers and finding the fairies in zelda). The really cool thing is your character changes dynamically, getting...

    Underwater combat?

    Do you resolve Freedom of Movement as eliminating bouyancy? In our campaign, we discussed it with the DM and we resolved it as basically, you can move whatever direction you want up to your full movement while in water. Of course, we need it since we're fighting ku-toa w/swim speeds who take...

    Spell Resistance and Multiple Magical Attack Question?

    There's many reasons you should be glad you didn't play it, that being the least of them.

    When can a Dire Lion use Rake?

    I think it's intended like this: if the dire lion makes an attack(not a charge) and bites, it can then establish a grapple. Normally, since it already attacked that round, and monsters don't get iterative attacks for natural weapons, that would be it. Lion bites, grapples, done. In this case...

    Help me out here

    I'm sorry but I love Kensai. All you need is weapon focus (fist) and some ranks in concentration, ride, and diplomacy (2 of which are class skills). See how your enemies react when you power surge for +8 str and then make them eat +5 holy flaming shock freezing FIST OF DOOM!!. Whew. Anyway...
