In this case it's essential to the story. There are elemental bosses, and all of them are a large "normal" creature that has been infused with elemental energy, so I wanted to use these element templates for that. In this case it is not a problem if the CR doesn't increase much since the base...

A lot of the extra space in the 4-page versions is for specific class features. So I don't see a possibility for making it universal. I wanted to attempt it anyway but got stopped by missing fonts.

Mongoose Publishing also has published what they call the Ultimate Character Record Sheet. If you're interested in advanced character sheets you might like that. It's more a book than a sheet actually, although probably not hardcover. It has 12 pages, double-sided as well as the insides of the...

Furthermore, if I want to increase the HD of a creature that changes type from a template, in what order do I apply the adjustments. Like I want to increase the CR of a Magical Beast, changed into an Elemental by a template, by adding 12 HD? If I add the HD before the template it's +4 but if I...

This is essentially two-part. 1. What happens if template powers overlap with each other or with a creatures innate power. Does the CR still increase normally? 2. What happens if multiple creatures are together, if I extend the DMG rules it says a creature of CR 24 accompanied by 6 CR 20...

I should probably change the thread title by now, if that's possible, but here's what I came up with to solve the healing availability. Potions/oils can be made with the alchemy spell. Not sure which potions I am going to allow, but as a general rule nothing with a range other than touch. I'd...

I was slightly worried that being stuck with high mental abilities wouldn't be useful enough anymore, especially Charisma, since the addition of the Swashbuckler and Ninja lessen the blow on Int and Wis, but if you can't fix a high Cha with the switch you might be forced to play Paladin. I have...

I was referring to the dreams and fantasy of being almighty, in which case I would have immunity of poison, in fact, I would have DR 100/-, SR 100, Fire, Sonic, Acid, Electricity and Cold immunity, Regeneration 100/-, be immune to poison, stunning, disease, flanking, critical hits and death...

This would prevent them being to far apart, and to some extend even guides them into a good party composition if I make sure that each array has a different highest score. Although it's not in the near future by far, I foresee a party greater than 4, it's usually that way amongst my friends...

Ok, so now I have to check the books, the errata, and then the FAQ. I wish they could at least merge those last two. What's also odd is this... Although unrelated to the thread topic it's interesting that the FAQ refers to DR/silver as supernatural in one case and as extraordinary in another.

I don't think any of them are familiar with AD&D or Swords and Sorcery, which I think you're referring to, and I only know them by name. As above except in this case even the names are unfamiliar. I will try that. I am actually surprised I did not think of it my self. I am gonna bookmark that...

I thought non-magical objects couldn't make saves. I don't see how the will-power of it's owner can help the object resist a spell. Also note, that FAQ answers exist for similar scenarios (trying to use Feather Tokens to crush creatures). What actually happens is that nothing (bad) happens...

What would detect evil say? This just makes the experience of the current game weigh more. This is also funded by the fact that they want to do what they normally can't do without retribution. People want most that which they can't have. In a game where people are so afraid of sorcery I would...

You shouldn't be worried about if he is to powerful for your monsters though in this case. You can always fix that, you should make sure he is not outshining the other players, as long as that is not the case, just throw something heavy on them. First flaw I spotted was that after the first...

I will probably be instructing players not to think of characters yet when I invite them. It should not be forgotten that dying results in the loss of a level though. Nevertheless, a game is about fun, and I do want them to enjoy it. I generally hate it when players change or choose their...

Even though it's not 1st level, Shrink Item does not mention requiring the target to be unattended or describe anything about what would happen if some force would interfere with the spell's magic. However, since the spell states the magic ends when the object is tossed onto any solid surface...

You and your DM should read Paladin’s Code (Quintessential Paladin II, page 88), and agree on a code before the creation of the Paladin character. If they were strongly good-aligned they could spend a cure minor wounds and thus save a human life. Isn't every human life, even an evil one, word...

The things that first came to mind with me (minus those answered already) were this: Wouldn't all these extra checks (two extra rolls in your example situation) severely reduce the speed of gameplay? What happens if a character ends up dying, stabilizes and regains consciousness? And I read...

I am considering using the following rules to create a realistic chain of events in character creation. And also to create some possible odd combinations that would not be existent in a min/max situation. Instead of rolling 6 ability scores and then assigning them and choosing all character...

I might do that. ;) I can't help but defend my argument though. K-9 dogs are in fact trained, so they might indeed have obtained some form of armor proficiency on account thereof, and most other animals would reject armor they're not used to wearing. In the case of a Marilith I would also...
