Are you high? That's the most broken thing that was ever broken. In its "normal" use - the Dragon simply has it up during combat and at the end of its round of actions it Shapechanges into something small and invisible (possibly buying it a free pass during others' actions, and in any case...

It's a very crappy PrC from MotW. It gives 3/4 BAB progression in exchange for a slightly faster Favored Enemy progression. Don't bother. You'd be better at fighting your enemies just by taking levels of Ranger (although ironically it makes a decent Epic class). -Frank

Here's the basic 3e Kobold: -4 Strength +2 Dexterity +1 Natural Armor Small Size 30 Movement rate anyway +2 to Trapmaking and Mining Automatic Language: Draconic That's not all that bad - as a spellcaster. You get a +3 total AC bonus - the highest of any playable race. You lose strength -...

Thank you. What I would really like is a rules set where Undead can be affected by Subdual Damage in the first place. I mean, where would horror movies be if you couldn't knock down zombies and say "I think they're dead...." only to have them leap up and attack you again? If it were up to me...

Well, hate to burst the bubble - but the rules for Mithral don't say that the Mithral Bonuses don't stack with the Masterwork Bonuses. They say that they are always Masterwork as well as Mithral, and that the costs for the masterworking were already included in the listed price. Two of the...

OK here's my reason: 21. The threads in question are extremely long and complicated and move very quickly. I can't for the life of me figure out how I would even go about entering such a competition. It's sufficient I think. -Frank

Um.... tridents are a barbed stabbing weapon and do their primary damage when they are removed from the victim's body. However it is that you get an extra attack when you drop someone with that weapon - it sure isn't because you did it in one fluid motion - even the regular attack isn't one...

He can't actually turn back - once he assumes his original form he has no way to reassume his non-original form. I think you only change the hit points of the hit dice of the form which it was in when it changed. After all, the other Constitution score hasn't changed. Alternately, you could...

The Primary Source Rule says that the Red Wizard Text Wins. This is a power of the Red Wizard. Since PrC abilities are in the DMG - the DMG text wins. The Red Wizard says it can go up to 20th level - which requires that it be able to Heighten past 9th level - otherwise it can't rise things past...

What you'd really want to do is to go through the entire book and change all the abilities to be: (EX): These are extraordinary nonmagical abilities based on skill or experience or upbringing, or whatever. The creature keeps these when they are transformed and you can't get them by transforming...

Which is dumb - and more importantly completely breaks down into incomprehensibility when confronted with improvised weaponry. -Frank

It seems like too large a bonus to hand to multiclassed Clerics and Druids. -Frank

That's as good a theory as any - the FAQ entry doesn't resemble the actual text in any meaningful way. -Frank

A Wildshaped Druid becomes an Animal in type. However, she will rarely have an Intelligence of less than 3. -Frank

Not exactly. The rules say that: And it says: But it does not say that creatures who gain an intelligence score higher than 2 become a magical beast. Taken literally, an animal who gains an intelligence score higher than 2 loses its type altogether and gets nothing in return unless another...

Actually, it's a reference to Japanese Cartoons. English has two liquid sounds: L (a "lateral") and R (a "retroflex"). Many languages only have one and their native speakers are thus incapable of using the difference to make different meaning - and in most cases - from even hearing the...

What, if anything, does this have to do with the non-magical gloves described in my post? Boggles have human-sized hands in flavor text. Centaurs have human sized hands in falvor text as well. Humans actually are humans, so presumably their hands are human sized. Throwing spears are weighted...

Ha ha! Victoly! -Frank

A familiar "becomes a magical beast" (PHB page 52). If a creature gains a new type, it gains the type abilities of the new type. That's the whole point, after all. It gains Darkvision, therefore. -Frank

It is a half-assed attempt to fit a bit of realism in. However, since it then goes back and assumes that all creatures of the same size have the same hand size - it's also completely off base. A Boggle, a Human, and Centaur are all supposed to be able to wear the same non-magical gloves - so any...
