    WotC's Head to head monster match! Vote for your favorite!

    Meepo is dead! MWAHAHAHA! I'll miss him. :( As for multiple voting, I guess it's the monster with the most chaotic-aligned fans that wins...? ;) It looks like nothing will stop the Tarrasque...from reaching the final.

    Let's run a module: Nominations

    There's no way Whispering Cairn can be run in one or two sessions, unless your players level up once every session. WC is meant to advance PCs from 1st level to 3rd. Unless you play only a portion of it, like just the False Tomb area....

    Which campaing would you like to play in?

    "Glory Road" is the only one that seems interesting to me, personally (depending on what you mean by "all options on" --> all PHB options -- good, all 3.5e options -- bad).

    How do you alter CR for massive numbers of pcs?

    ...Or you could just multiply the number of enemies by a factor of 2 to 3. The CR/EL system is based on a party of 4 PCs, so if you have double or triple that, doubling or tripling the number of baddies should work reasonably well. See how the first encounter goes and adjust from there. What...

    Blades of Fire underpowered?

    I was looking at the spell Blades of Fire from Complete Arcane, and it seems underpowered to me as a Wiz/Sor 2. If we compare it to the famous (infamous?) Scorching Ray, it has the following advantages: - V component instead of V, S - Swift action casting time instead of standard action - No...

    How would you cost a permanent Death Ward item?

    Complete Arcane also has Death Ward armor which protects the wearer from one death effect per day (including energy drain and inflict spells). Cost is +1 effective bonus. Looks balanced to me. Permanent Death Ward seems like a bad idea.

    Dungeon #126. Anyone have it yet?

    I know for a fact that a whole bunch of people have got #126 -- if you have it, here's your chance to be a scooper and earn the admiration of thousands of ENworlders! C'mon, post the preview for #127! ;)

    Wow. Biggest upset of the tournament so far. I think the succubus will go through, but given the result of the last match, who knows?

    Eberron, Monks and Shifters

    There is no FAQ for Eberron, and I'm almost certain there are no Eberron issues dealt with in the General FAQ. The FAQ does note that a vampire monk does not drain levels while using unarmed strike because that is not the same as the vampire's slam attack. Likewise, natural weapon attacks...

    Leadership and Awaken

    What Silveras said. And to emphasize, it's the ECL of the awakened animal, not just the HD, that needs to be two less than your HD. Determining the ECL of such a critter is a thread in itself.

    http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040210a This doesn't explicitly say "synergy bonuses stack with each other" but it explicitly calls them unnamed bonuses (unlike in 3.0, where they were called "synergy bonuses") and unnamed bonuses stack.

    Synergy - Can Anyone Direct Me To A Previous Thread On This?

    Yes, Coredump hit the nail on the head. Diplomacy is not a mind-effecting supernatural ability and it's not an enchantment spell. Even though it's not stated in the PHB, Rule 0 says that you can't reason with someone unless they're willing to listen to reason. IMC, Diplomacy involves roleplay...

    Synergy - Can Anyone Direct Me To A Previous Thread On This?

    I don't think those modifiers are totally unreasonable, given that the PC is pouring all of her skill and feat resources into achieving them. Don't forget that Diplomacy only works if the other party wants to talk, and shifting someone's attitude to friendly or helpful is far from domination in...

    I just noticed something...are those displacer beast tentacles growing out of the vampiress' back? Or are they being 'displaced' from elsewhere to appear next to her? Funky....
