Exactly. It'll still have ten smaller eyes to see with. There's even a Beholder Mage prestige class in Monsters of Faerun that requires the Beholder to put out their central eye.

My advice is to put the "Called" enchantment on your armor as soon as possible. It cuts to time needed to don a suit of full plate from 4 minutes to ~3 seconds (a standard action). Any time you need your armor, you just speak the command word and *poof*, you're suited up. :) "Called" is...

Is there any particular reason why you are limiting it to an evil outsider? Particularly since they are leading a group of undead, I'd lean more towards one of the intelligent undead, such as a Mummy or Vampire. As for your original question... after a quick look in the MM, I'd suggest an...

If you're wondering just what the heck he is talking about, you can read the entire story of "Eric and the Dread Gazebo" in Ambient Inc.'s free product "Portable Hole Full of Beer". You can find information on this product and a link to the download location here...

On second thought, this might be a good idea to try sometime. It's similar to another house rules that I've seen in which ECL +1 races that want to start at first level are allowed to have a level in a NPC class... Go ahead and try it. Be sure to let us know how it works out. :)

IMHO, this isn't the best idea. The 0-level rules aren't truly 0-level. They consist of taking approximately half of two different classes and adding them together to equal a level one character. So If you did this, Your ECL +1 characters would still be equivalent to a 2nd level PC. Even if...

Just watch out for the occasional Dwarven Battlerager loaded with armor spikes. You'll end up with a horde of sore, grumpy dwarves on your hands... :D

Several of AEG's "Adventure Keep" series of mini-modules are made for an Oriental setting. These include... 8348 Treachery's Reward (Levels 1-3) 8349 Unspoken Shame (Levels 3-5) 8351 The Daisho and the Ninja (Levels 1-3) 8530 Blood on White Petals (Levels 2-5) Check your local gaming shop...

It's one of the abilites that the Archmage can choose as part of their "High Arcana" class feature. A few other prestige classes, such as the Red Wizard and the Shadow Adept, also get the Spell Power ability.

I saw this part of the spell description right after after I had posted that, so I edited my post. I must have missed it as I glanced over the spell the first time. Normally, though, a creature smaller than Small can't flank. This is, obviously, an exception to the rule, since they included...

Never mind.

Yes, it can. It say so right in the spell description. "The hand can flank targets like a creature can."

Any spells that require an attack roll and inflict hit point damage, ability damage, or energy drain. Yes. It requires an attack roll, and it does hit point damage. Therefore, you are able to sneak attack with it.

Heh. Running a party through Undermountain is always loads of fun. :D

A ranged touch attack is exactly like any other ranged attack. The only difference is that your target doesn't get their armor or natural armor bonus to AC. None of your attack modifiers are affected. (Edited for spelling. I need more coffee... ;) )

Actually, you can sneak attack with a spell that causes ability damage. From page 79 of Tome & Blood: "Spells that inflict energy drain or ability damage deal additional negative energy damage on a sneak attack... For example, a 10th level rogue who makes a successful sneak attack with an...

Um... you shouldn't. It's that simple. Some people enjoy playing. Some people enjoy DMing. If you enjoy Dming, then DM. If you enjoy playing, then play. I'm not quite sure what more you wanted... It seems like you are asking us to convince you to not DM when you specifically said that you...

Hear, hear! /me applauds Joshua Dyal.

Wow... this is a really, really good idea. Consider it stolen. :D Thanks mmadsen!

Thank you for explaining yourself, Glamdring. I think this latest post is a much better explanation of your P.O.V. than your last one... IMNSHO, telling us that "a DM who wishes to enter the world of Faerun must read the novels and accept them as scripture" is going a bit too far. It's...
