    Why EXP penalty for Multiclassing anyway?

    Multiclassing has some big advantages as well. Most obvious is saving throws since every class you take grants you +2 at least one save for a single level. Additional classes also increase the amount of skills you can consider class skills when calculating max ranks. And taking a single level in...

    What Races Do You Allow?

    A few save ways to reduce the amount of odd races: Start the campaign at level 1 (most odd races have level adjustments). Unless your campaign is high risk and your players are dying all the time, they shouldn't have many chances of choosing a new race. Make odd races less welcome in...

    Trolls, trolls and more trolls

    Interesting idea: Magma Troll (Troll with Half-Earth Elemental & Half-Fire Elemental templates) Regeneration 5/fire or acid Immunity to fire Immunity to acid Still not immune to death effects etc. but it is impossible to deal lethal damage and thus to perform coup de grace. Don't ask me why...

    Trolls, trolls and more trolls

    I never said it was, just that death effects are also something a troll has no immunity against, because they are ,like the vorpal effect, no damage. Just direct interpretation of the rules. In the end it matters how the DM of the affected game decides it should be played, they might even allow...

    Trolls, trolls and more trolls

    I can't find any canon that specifically says vorpal work or don't work on trolls. I would assume they do because as I pointed out before, regeneration only affects hitpoint damage. Trolls aren't immune to death effects and most other effects either (paralysis, sleep, stunning, etc)...

    Trolls, trolls and more trolls

    So does the octopus. It is possible to breathe trough your neck in real life by using medical applications, a troll might be able to naturally. Technically rules say a decapitated troll dies, but it's commonly houseruled they don't, each house rule might have a different explanation. The...

    Fastest Race?

    Using material from different rulesets always requires some extra thought and houseruling. Just like you shouldn't just flat-ought put a monster from 3.0 in a 3.5 game without adjusting DR. In the end all that matters is that everyone at the table is having fun.

    Not sure, there might be a difference between not regenerating and not having the regeneration ability. The much more obvious problem is that Scrags don't breathe air.

    Invincible Lich

    Right, forgot about that, the sun is hard to avoid up there. The thing about outer space is also that considering it's the same plane, divination is easier. But getting there is harder than for most planes depending on what magic access a character has, it's a tough choice. What about this...

    Invincible Lich

    Tiny size, 40 hp, hardness 20, break DC 40 Otherwise it would have certainly be interesting, although I wouldn't know how you would create a sun.

    Trolls, trolls and more trolls

    Regeneration isn't really complicated, we just need to separate it into parts. First it turns all hitpoint except for certain types (in this case fire and acid) into non-lethal damage. Second, it heals non-lethal damage at a set rate (in this case 5/round), except if this damage can only be...

    Invincible Lich

    Damage done by pressure (or lack thereof)... It's not magical, it's not elemental, so would DR work against it? Using common sense lack of pressure would not affect creatures that are entirely solid, like some constructs (just like pieces of rock in outer space don't explode or anything due to...

    D&D 3.x D&D 3.5 Rule Oddities

    To be honest, it doesn't say that choking and/or coughing costs any actions. It's all up to interpretation I guess. Using common sense I'd say it should be at least as bad as being nauseated, but should not prevent movement at all. Alternatively, there might be some free actions that allow you...

    D&D 3.x D&D 3.5 Rule Oddities

    I believe it says somewhere that you can always move 5 ft. per round unless someone specifically says you can't move, or if common sense dictates otherwise (like being bound, or enclosed in walls, etc). Such movement would not be a 5-ft. step per sé though, and is subject to attacks of...

    Fastest Race?

    Most of the other speed increasers don't work on flight though. I forgot about errata, but I just checked it, and although they made the bladedancer non-chaotic and allowed Enchanted Blade III to choose a I and a II ability, but it doesn't say anything about speed.

    Invincible Lich

    I totally missed that part in Libris Mortis. The most interesting part being that phylacteries can't be part of other magic items. I had an idea of disguising it as a spellbook. Spellbooks are so obvious that many players wouldn't use identify on it, but only a simple read magic. Additional...

    Invincible Lich

    When did devils become immune to the river Styx? Undead, yes, Constructs, those too, but Devils, didn't know that. Regardless most devils will be able to make the Fortitude save (DC17) unless they roll a natural 1 anyway. The river Styx's random nature is a good to hide it from someone looking...

    Fastest Race?

    The bladedancer class is very badly worded, but technically it does not give a bonus of 30 ft., it changes your speed from 20ft. to 40 ft., 30 ft. to 60 ft or from 40 ft. to 80 ft. it does not list what kind of change this is or when it should be applied, so I guess this is up to the DM.

    Concentration

    So we're not talking about D&D then? I was not aware of that, so anything I mentioned might not work for your game.
