    D&D 3.x Non-caster Driders for 3.5e?

    In 3.5e Monster Manual, all the driders are Clerics, Sorcerers & Wizards. But some of the other editions show non-caster driders. Did any of official 3.5e books and sources introduce non-caster drider? Or Do I need to make them up by myself?

    unusual terrain/environment ideas

    3d-cavern complex made by Beholders via Disintegrate eye-ray. It has full of vertical shafts but has no stairs nor ladders, as Beholders don't need them. PCs must use ropes or spells to navigate through. Ruins of long-lost high-tech civilization. Get some maps or floor plans of you local...

    XX Penetration feats and Psionics-Magic Transparency

    My first post was rather misleading. What I was trying to say are, 1) Bonuses from Spell Penetration and Greater Spell Penetration feats are also applied to manifester level checks for overcoming PR/SR with Psionic Powers and Psi-like abilities or not. 2) Bonuses from Power Penetration and...

    SR: No Cleric spells?

    They can. But it takes a standard action to do so. And thus not so convenient when they are fighting .... or, when non-cleric mind flayers can spend their actions for manifesting self-buffing powers (I am using the Psionic Version of Mind Flayers, so all the Illithids are Psions).

    XX Penetration feats and Psionics-Magic Transparency

    Assuming I am using Expanded Psionics Handbook and using default Psionics-Magic Transparency rules, shall I apply bonuses from Spell Penetration feats and Power Penetration feats to both caster level checks and manifester level checks for overcoming spell/power resistance? I mean, bonuses from...

    Mind Flayer Nautiloid Ship

    Thanks. Maybe Illithids use their Levitation psionic power to down to/up from the gravity plane level.

    SR: No Cleric spells?

    Following the fluffs of Mind Flayers of Thoon in Monster Manual V, I am adding some cleric levels (say, 8 levels) to Mind Flayers. But even with Practiced Spellcaster & Greater Spell Penetration feats, those clerics should roll 9+ to beat their friend Illithids' SR (25+). That means, most of...

    Braille for wizards

    Races such as Grimlocks or Grells are blind but have blindsight. Wizards of such races may using something like Braille for their spellbooks. Grells do have their mages (Grell Philosophers). In regard to handling. Members of primitive races such as Grimlocks may be using something like slate...

    Mind Flayer Nautiloid Ship

    Ok, Now I have learned the deck plan of the Illithid Dreadnought. http://www.spelljammer.org/ships/deckplans/IllithidDreadnought.gif Well, where is the entrance to the ship? The weapon deck has several hatches and/or illusory walls, but they seem to be openings for ballista or similar weapons...

    Creatures Immune to Stun but can be Charmed

    Thank you for good suggestions. Warshaper should work. There should be some lycanthropes in underdark, based on some underground humanoids/giants and/or underground animals. Mind Flayers may catch them and train to be Warshapers. And I was totally overlooking magic items. Third Eye Clarity...

    Creatures Immune to Stun but can be Charmed

    I am looking for ideal tank thralls for Mind Flayers. The thralls must not be immune to charm, because that is how mind flayers make thralls. Yet thralls should better immune to stun, because mind flayers tend to include their tank thralls within their mind blast cones. One particular creature...

    Demons and Desecrate

    Let's try. First of all, Unhallow is good for demons. It is a permanent Protection from Good and protect demons from attacks and spells from good-aligned adventures. Also, you can attach some nice spell which works either "only to the followers of Demon Prince of Madness" or "only to...

    Mind Flayer Nautiloid Ship

    Does somebody know which book contains good floor plan of Mind Flayer Nautiloid ship (or similar inter-planar ship)? I am planning to use Thoon Mind Flayers and Elder Brain (3.5e Monster Manual V) in my 3.5e game. I have googled Mind Flayer Nautiloid but could only find some low-resolution...

    Tanar'ri with Lightning Bolt or similar ability?

    Tanar'ri is immune to electricity. So, it should be an effective tactics to shoot a Lightning Bolt or similar electricity area attack when front-line Tanar'ri are engaging in melee with opponents who are not immune nor resistant to electricity. But I can find almost no Tanar'ri which has...

    D&D 3.x Beholder Eye of Flame and Eye of Frost for 3.5e

    Ok. Now I made my version of 3.5e Eye of Flame and Eye of Frost. Would you give me opinions how much should the CRs be? Other comments and suggestions are welcomed, too. As I don't want to design new monsters from nothing, I just use most of the stats of the usual Beholder. ## Eye of Flame...

    D&D 3.x Beholder Eye of Flame and Eye of Frost for 3.5e

    Did somebody ever converted Beholderkin in 4e, namely Eye of Flame and Eye of Frost, into 3.5e?

    Braille for wizards

    AFAIK, the rule does not specify which language or letters must be used for writing one's spell book. So yes, if your PC can read/write Braille, he can use Braille to write his spellbook, provided Braille does exist in your game world. But I also say that by RAW it will take only the usual...

    Half-para-elemental

    In this (very) old thread, Hopping Vampire was mentioning about a Dungeon or Dragon which contains Half-Para-Elemental Template. Does somebody know which issue is it? http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?33638-Half-Para-Elemental-Template
