Just too bad that you don't gain the Cheetah's sprint ability, since it's a special quality, not a special attack, just realized that. From animals in MM1... Fastest flyer: Eagle (80ft.) Fastest swimmers: Porpoise, Giant Squid (80ft.) Fastest runner: Light Horse (60ft.) Fastest climbers: Ape...

Reaching in a magic circle doesn't break it, as long as you watch where you put your feet. Of course nothing prevents the trapped creature from pulling you in once you reach in.

-4 on attack for improvised weapon two-handed if the monster is medium-sized one-handed if large, light if huge probably 1d10 for damage plus str mods as appropiate The +3 armor does not enhance the attack. Also, assume the halfling gets hit by the bow at the same time, treat the bow as a club...

Sounds like a reasonable house rule. If you were really afraid of Liches as DM you could just make the complicated rituals needed for becoming them unknown to the players and anyone they come in contact with. Of course this will rule out any NPC Liches you might want to use. I've got another...

This sounds like the best option indeed, except for the halberd variant, but the halberd variant might require a feat anyway to pull-off. Maybe one of those tactical feats that give multiple different effects. For an axe fighter aiding a spearfighter aid another matches as it negates the shield...

If you want a messenger, why not consider a spellcaster with some of the following spells: Dimension Door Dream Greater Teleport Message Refuge Sending Teleport Transport via Plants Tree Stride Whispering Wind Word of Recall And yes, for mundane or semi-mundane messengers it's better to look...

I figured it out. Vecna is perfectly able to restore his hand and eye, which seems to be within the power of a Wish, maybe even less (a negative energy version of Regenerate). But doing so would render his current hand and eye (the artifacts) powerless. And Vecna enjoys the influence he has...

Considering the following things: It's an NPC. ECL does not matter. It's a messenger on the PCs side, so unlikely to fight with or against them. It has the ability to possess magic items which the PCs are not going to steal from him. Then just give him whatever speed you want him to have, no...

Cause it's CONcentration. Maybe they just wanted to have at least one Con-based skill? Usually concentration is required when you have to ignore environmental hazards or damage. I guess they want Constitution to reflect your overall resistance and not just to damage or physical harm. Wisdom...

For avoiding friendly fire (as far as spells are concerned), consider introducing Teamwork Benefits (DMG2, p191): For every 4HD the lowest level member of a team has they can select one teamwork benefit for which one member meats the leader prerequisite and all members meat the member...

Considering most other material from OA having been reprinted entirely in the Complete Series my best guess is that they thought the Bladedancer wasn't erratable. I've never been a fan of how the classes in OA worked personally so I can't really judge anyway. And I'll be sure to remember that...

It's sort of a complicated story and I am not sure when I first came up with it, but all of my campaigns have been based on 12 elements. Although they changed a bit troughout. In no particular order: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Wood, Metal, Lightning, Ice, Shadow, Spirit, Light and Darkness In...

The portable hole is inside the extradimensional space, the phylactery is lying next to it. Nail it to the sky? With what? And couldn't any creature with flight just retrieve it? Discern Location requires having touched the object at least once. Multiple uses of Legend Lore probably could do...

About that speed bonus on jumps (I know its untyped but I call it speed for ease of use). I only just discovered its existence and immediately stumbled upon some weird situations. A character with a speed of 10 ft. gets a -12 penalty on Jump checks with a running start. Say you want to jump up...

That sounds like it could be useful, but I didn't really consider in the fact that a shield only gives +2 AC, when I came up with the idea. Perhaps this is because combatants are assumed to be using maneuvers like this in normal combat, not sure. Thanks everyone for their inputs.

Or there is an elemental guardian that brings the water trough the portal as a carried object as needed. This could even be the origin of how oceans came to be. Volcanos could be created by portals to the plane of fire and maybe the reason there is wind is because of air being added somewhere on...

Ok, maybe a bag of holding was a bad example. But going by a portable hole... So the lich opens the hole, steps in drops its phylactery, picks up the hole from the inside closing the portal, folds it and drops it there, then plane shifts out of the space. The only way in the hole is trough...

What would happen if a Lich stored its phylactery in a bag of holding, portable hole or similar unique portal to extradimensional space and then destroy that portal? If the Lich's body was destroyed it would reform in the extra-dimensional space from which the Lich could escape with a Plane...

Very interesting to read, but a bit complex to apply. Also odd that they end up awarding low level party members less experience for defeating the same monster.
