    What is adamantite, and why is it so special?

    Gold is special because it is soft and dense, like lead, and as such is easy to work. It is very nonreactive, and thus doesn't rust, and isn't toxic (why it could be used to fill/replace teeth). Lead again is soft and dense, which is why it can block radiation and x-rays so effectively. Silver...

    Fighters vs mages at high level.

    The Antimagic Sphere will not work very well, seeing as the wizard can either fly up out of reach or teleprt to the edge of his spell range, lay down a disjunction or two (or three or four...), and then just relax and clean up at will. At lvl 30 and some PrCs and some magic items, the wiz should...

    Gender and Character Traits (f)

    The problem with applying ability mods based on gender is that DnD stats are really poorly set up to take into account the physical differences of men and women. Yes, men generally have much more upper body strength, but I've known a lot of women who have powerful legs even without hitting the...

    Help Us Kill Morrus - Just updated 23/03/05

    Ok, just some recommendations. First of all, splitting the enemies up is a must, and some grappling summons are a great idea. You mentioned that there might be some teleport restrictions of the room. These will apply to your enemies too. One thing that might be helpful for everyone here would be...

    What's the most broken PC you've ever seen?

    Could someone point me to the thread with the planet crushing Hulking Hurler build? I couldn't find it on the first 4 pages of the Rules forum... Thanks.

    Eadric et. al. (The Paladin and his Friends).

    This thread gets a well deserved BUMP

    What are the stats for a standard katana?

    As for the question of whether or not katana could cut through bone, the answer is definately yes. Historically, the samurai would cut through corpses or condemned criminals (and of course disrespectful farmers) in order to test the quality of a blade. There are cutting diagrams showing the...

    Sins of Our Fathers - 2/10 - Final Update

    Guess it's about time I chimed in. Excellent story Destan. The writing is always top quality, the story flows well, and the characters are all very interesting. I can't wait for the next update... Please keep this up. Don't be afraid to write controversial stuff. I think the though decisions the...

    Eadric et. al. (The Paladin and his Friends).

    Cheiromancer- the painting is definately very large on my screen. I have seen that a few times at ENWorld though... seems normal... As for the pianting, wow. I definately get the sense of distance between the two. Crosod feels huge in the background. And while the nymph isn't too evil looking...

    Soneillon. Part 1 (Updated 6/15)

    Just finished the Old Testament, a bit daunted by the New. It's pretty interesting, a lot of laws, and it's amazing how well Sep captured the feel of it overall. It's his fault I'm doing this of course ;) had a sudden urge to read it after burning through this SH. I guess I recommend it, if you...

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    Hey PCat, great updates! Well, I think the terrible disaster was well foreshadowed, omens fit, etc, so it's not such a big surprise in that sense... What does make it feel a little bit out of left field is that Galanna's motivations haven't been explained... her just blasting another god is a...

    Soneillon. Part 1 (Updated 6/15)

    All caught up now. Sigh. Now time to eagerly await the next update. Sep, I must say, this is some of the most amazing stuff I have ever read. Best line had to have been when Ortwin imploded. :D Not that I have anything against him or anything.... Thanks a lot for taking the time to give us this...

    Soneillon. Part 1 (Updated 6/15)

    Hey Sep, excellent story hour. Keep it up. But I'm kind of lost. I've read bits and pieces of all the threads for Eadric and his companions, but I can't tell the order and now some of the threads seem to have dissapeared. So, anyways, I hear there are downloads floating about. Can someone add...

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    Seeing as my last monster post went over well, here are two that I came up with. Both use negative energy in unique ways, but niether are undead. They could easily be working for the ghouls, due to their abilities. And both could use some char levels to bring them on par with the Defenders...

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    Thanks to all for the feedback. Much appreciated. Don't forget that the negative energy burst it limited to 4/day. As for the CR, I figured it was low when I made it, but all I had to work with was the WotC CR estimator, which I have never really trusted... The thing needs playtesting, but...

    "Spellstitched" Hey PCat... you mentioned an alternate "spellstiched" monster that looked like an evil hunter of the dead... I was wondering about where you found it. It sounds like a monster I sent you a few months ago, but I called it the Soulstiched. Maybe you should post it, assuming it's...

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    More ideas Wow. Just found this thread yesterday. Many thanks to PCat for its existence. And now for my musings... Going back to the undead monks, you could have it so that in a large cavern, they leap down from concealed ledges, strike, and using spring attack and leap of the clouds hop back...

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    Negative Zero- Mount Celestia is one of the many planes bordering the Outlands, like the Nine Hells and the Abyss (oh and the Beastlands from which Tao's Solar came, I think). It is the home to many a good being, like Bahamut, everyone's favorite uberdragon:D More info on the classic DMG...
