Hypersmurf is not in the office at the moment. Perhaps I can help. That's the general rule in both 3.0 and 3.5, except for special cases (e.g. Forsaker).

It's big business. Plenty of sites have been extorted. Big networks of "zombie" computers are used to send spam or launch denial-of-service attacks (for extortion again). For example: http://informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=171204550

And one of them must bang two halves of a coconut together.

Oh, come on. The DCs were carefully set to guarantee a few fumbles, weren't they? "Hmm, some of them might make all their swing checks. I better add another check using a skill that's based on their dump stats. :]"

I don't see how that would work. The argument for failing to teleport involved glue that cannot be broken and being stuck to an unwilling creature, neither of which apply for a tanglefoot bag. It's a different situation.

So yeah, that. I think it's a good idea. I wouldn't mind playing it.

You are more tolerant than I, sir! :) I met my current group through RPG Registry. We're all grown-ups, and some of us are married with children. As for San Diego, the people I know out there are mostly into cars rather than D&D. If I were you I'd take dave_o up on his offer (even though he...

My DM's favourite player quote "Sticks to snakes? Why would anyone want to make something stick to a snake??" :D

I can't help wondering if Tolkein decided to kill off Gollum at the end because of a poll.

There's a direct correlation between Point Blank Shot and Weapon Focus - they both give +1 to hit. Therefore, Weapon Focus gives +1 to damage, even though it's not explicitly stated, because it's like P.B.S. Right? ;)

Yes, that is the reason for the rule. (Not just for spellcasters - it's also useful for any character who feels the need to drink a healing potion.) The main effect of removing that rule would be that your players lynch you.

The other explanation is that monsters with increased hit dice are "superior specimens of their race", they are not ordinary specimens that got bigger as they grew older. A normal wolf is a full-grown adult, not a baby. A wolf with extra HD is an extra-large wolf. He was bigger and stronger ever...

Because the purpose of your avatar is to identify you to other people. Wystan doesn't want his screen cluttered up with avatar images, but he has decided to provide an image for us to recognize him by.

Probably because of all the different ways there are to spell diaglo/Diaglo/Diablo/DiODnD/...

No. (At least I can't find it - those are some long spell descriptions.) But it is a restriction for the druid's Wild Shape ability, which is based on Polymorph.

1940.

But then the quote "Again, the rules don’t explicitly prevent this" doesn't make sense. They changed the rule to say what it already said, but it really didn't... :confused: I'll go for just-an-error - my brain hurts less that way.

Yeah, you never see anyone playing a Commoner any more. :)

And Polymorph says "This spell functions like alter self, except ...". There is no exception permitting templates, so they're still forbidden.

I thought the bucket of snails came from here. :uhoh: (Or from the WotC boards. I'd be amazed if anyone has actually used it in play.)
