He put you down unconscious in one hit? Or were you standing right next to the meatbag when you decided to piss him off?

Such as, I dunno ... "It is impregnated with strong anti-magics which prevent its detection or removal or change to another form or substance." "It cannot be magically detected, nor will it open by physical or magical means . . ." "Detect invisibility or any other sort of searching except by...

Note that when you're adding his Ranger levels, you add their "effective Druid Level" rather than the total Ranger levels. So, in this case, your player's character counts as a Druid 6 for purposes of calulating his animal companion.

Expertise requires you to take the attack action (or full attack) in melee. It's not terribly useful for a wizard, who will usually be taking the "cast a spell" action or, alternatively, the "Get the hell out of Dodge" action. :)

Not necessarily, I wouldn't think. I mean, if you're in Tarsis, then there's nothing strange about seeing a draconian walking around. I'd say that this is mostly due to us being humans and being more familiar with the breadth of human visible quirks. But, even a short perusal of, say...

Except we're dealing with a campaign setting where that isn't the case (c.f. orcs and Eberron, draconians and Dragonlance, etc.). Right. So, given the "Pick a single race, get 6x the duration" logic, why not create a Baeril's Generic Humanoid spell that only lets you turn into a human?

I see this as being, largely, a problem with the hat of disguise. It's waaay underpriced. :) No, not as a 2nd-level spell - but then I also rarely memorize Disguise Self unless I know I'm going to need it that day. A scroll of it tends to work just fine for emergencies. I like the...

Pretty much this. Plus, we play at the house of a guy who has hundreds and hundreds of pretty sweet minis, and it'd be rude to just leave them on the shelves. :D

I'll take "Nascent Edition Wars" for $200, Alex.

Jonath Cailan: Jonath rolls his shoulder around several times. "Sore, but nothin' life-threatenin'." He slides a hand along his collarbone, under the boiled leather of his armor, feeling for more significant damage. Apart from a little blood where the beast's teeth penetrated a gap in his...

Don't mind us, we're just over here being largely incompetent. :D

I think I've got it; maybe. No. I am saying that, generally speaking, IME, YMMV, etc., when you need a disguise, either 1 of 2 things is true: 1) You need a disguise that makes you look like something that is not you, and you need it right now. It doesn't matter what you make yourself look...

1) It's a first-level spell. The amount of "materials and time researching" will be pretty minimal. 2) I'm positing that the much-lengthened duration is much more important than the flexibility afforded by the base spell. As in, usually, just turning into something other than yourself is...

Well, extended Disguise Self gets you 20 minutes / level as a level 2 spell, so that's a good route to start from. I think the issue you might run into is one more of "escalation" concerns - if you can create a "Limited Application, Much Extended Duration" lizardman version of Disguise Self...

Compared to Disgiuse Self, yes, it's too powerful. You're essentially creating a type-limited variant of Disguise Person (e.g., can only look like a lizardman) in exchange for a 6-fold increase in duration. I'd call that a net increase in power. That being said, I don't know that it makes it...

Jonath Cailan: Jonath lets out a gasping grunt of pain as the creature's fangs close over his shoulder and the beast worries at him like a dog with a rat. Reaching across his body, Jonath pulls his sword from its sheath and smacks the scaled beast in the face with the guard, forcing it...

Yeah, actually, it does. You must channel positive energy "as if turning undead." How does one channel positive energy as if turning undead? By expending daily uses of turn undead, except instead of turning undead, it powers the chalice.

Jonath Cailan: So, just to be clear, I'm assuming that I am about 25' away from the monster, with my bow in-hand and no clear shot on the creature (e.g., I'll be taking the "firing into melee" penalty and the "soft cover from allies" penalty if I attempt a shot), and there's nowhere I can move...

Also a good question.

I can't find the original, which was way better than the version below that I quickly hacked together, but I always considered it definitive proof as to why the 3.0 weapon size rules don't work. If anyone has the original (which was based on Conan holding his sword above his head, parallel to...
