*chuckle* (pointedly divides a golden apple in half...)

girls, girls, you're both pretty. can we get back to the OP subject now? start a new thread if you want to continue your argument.

ninja'd. ^^

the real answer is variety. mix it up. throw a bunch of mooks at them one time (use mob tactics and aid another on grapples and bullrush and trample), then throw a mid-level with some support types, then throw a high level pair at them, then change it up again for next time. mix monster...

Here is the best off the cuff extrapolation I can give you: Given that there is no indication (that I can find) that any dragonshards are in particular different hardness or hp from each other regardless of type, comparing the two example shards and doing the math gives us a base hardness of...

Knowledge Local is used to recall information about the following: Whereas Gather Information is used thusly: I don't really see any overlap in these two areas of knowledge, unless one of the K:L entries IS for some reason the current hot news and gossip. A common fallacy is the idea that...

that did come across kinda funny. thanks for the humorous response! for those who may not have gotten it, that particular member of our group is the 2nd ed master in our anything official 3.x goes group. and yes, he still plays The Ranger. ^^

The only applicable rule about taking or not taking classes levels that I'm aware of is the 3 INT minimum rule.

I see Leadership (once it's allowed by a DM) as a player choice, like any other feat. It is under the player's control. In my games, I let the players build the character, I will RP them as an NPC until they get to the point of joining the party, then it's the player's job to RP them. It works...

Because I actually enforce the restrictions on teleporting, my party has found themselves trudging the long way to someplace they've never seen and can't find any way to get a good rendition of it sufficient to risk teleporting. (they don't have scry, somehow). ^^ made for some interesting...

i have an emancipated familiar prestige based off the emancipated spawn prestige for exactly such situations. speaking of monkeys... you may enjoy this read: Variorum of Victoria: Chapter the First: A Twisted Schema Variorum of Victoria: Chapter the Second: Into the Darkness monk/ninja...

i have removed all alignment based effects from my games. instead i use a contract system. people enter into contracts to gain powers outside the normal limits. some abilities can detect with whom you've entered into a contract or contracts. i do have moral and ethical laws in my games...

Re-flavor, reuse, renew. add some aquatic invocations: blackwater blast, deoxygenate water, riptide current, icy prison, crushing depths, sonic blast, call of the deep, siren's lure, poisonous blast, wall of ink, arms of the jellyfish, wall of jellyfish, ghost ship, ooze summons, sudden...

i think the racist feel comes from the half-baked rules and fluff that they put in with it. you aren't allowed to take your own race, cause that's EVIL-or at least that's the justification given. and players are generally assumed to not be evil. i think it was mostly developed the way it was as...

there was a whole article devoted to doctor who and attendant chronomancy which may or may not be the same reference mentioned earlier. dragon magazine. not to mention back when domains were spheres, there was a time sphere with attendant magic and spells and what not.

just use a weapon ability that drains something, switch out the spell or power it is based on with a dex-draining one, and presto, magic weapon that drains dex via magic item creation rules.

i recall an orangutan or maybe a chimp that was taught martial arts... could beat the crap out of most humans. some dogs can read and paw words to communicate. i read about some birds that could do math and even talk about a limited set of things. not to mention the sign language gorillas...

the final AoO in the chain has to be resolved before the movement can take place. then the movement takes place as part of their AoO. As the rest of the AoOs might be cancelled, i suggest that you describe it as a slashing flurry of disengaging parries, one of which may connect (depending on the...

just beware allowing your monk player to take that one necklace with sizing, unless you want a whole lot of immature jokes.

i would look over the build before making any decisions. maybe suggest a sangehirn for healing or some other support focused type as a lead up. see what they come up with, and if i can work with it, no worries. i'm a big "rule of yes" dm, and i allow all official 3.x material in my campaigns. so...
