Shapechanger is no longer a monster type in 3.5. Under the 3.5 the bhut should be either a monstrous humanoid, aberration, or undead - whichever is the most appropriate. I'd probably say type: Monstrous Humanoid [Shapechanger]. Page 293 and 294 of the Monster Manual have a pretty good...

Well, looking at your conversion it looks like you're doing a 3.0 conversion. Therefore you are correct and adding 5 levels of wizard to the Bhut would make it a CR10. You might want to steal a 3.5 convention though and call the wizard levels non-associated - each level of wizard would only...

It's a very good piece of stand alone fiction. :) Seriously, I enjoyed it a lot, and each time I re-read it I pick up on something new.

Oh, I almost missed it. Welcome to the Boards too!

I'm a Muse! Thank you and welcome to the thread. I haven't been updating as much as I'd like to over the past few months, but I'm hoping to speed up again. There's a gentleman by name of Leopold who is also doing a NB story hour - I suggest you take a look at his too. Do you plan on...

Well...that particular note was meant to be funny more than anything else. I'm told my sense of humor is a little dry sometimes. ;) I remember thinking long and hard what to do about that. It was entirely possible Kellron and Jallarzi would have bought the proverbial farm anyway, but the...

In the Caves of the Svirfneblin Ice-blue is the commonest eye color amongst the svirfneblin and in the dusty tomes of the deep gnomes it is sometimes referred to as the sapphire inheritance. Legends say that that the First Gnome, Callarduran Deephands was shaped by Tasa from the gems deep...

I think that was Glassee... 6th level - 1st ed. Of course I'm just going off of memory here...

Well, I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but surprisingly it has worked out pretty well. It certainly brings back some of the flavor from 15 years ago... I did it to see how the rules would handle the increase. So far so good, but more than anything it highlighted what I liked and what I...

First let me say that I've followed your recent XPH threads with interest. I haven't always agreed with you, but your position has always been thought out and articulate. However I have to agree with Hardhead, and say it looks like you've gone a bit too far the other way with the PP and...

The DM is a pinhead. :heh: Apologies for the last post. As Wynterwolf so kindly pointed out, it was Kellron who died and Ashimar who helped Kestral loot the troll caves. It's been corrected.

What Next? “Where did they get all of this?” Asked Kestral as she quickly dug through a pile of rocks. Ashimar shook his head. “I don’t know. Is this a fox pelt?” He asks as he pulls down the the animal furs that had been hanging on the cave wall. Kestral looked up and gave the silvery...

The SRD is not an alternative set of rules, it is the set of rules which have been made publicly available by Wizards of the Coast (WOTC). They are available online at WOTC's website www.wizards.com\d20 .]here.[/URL] WOTC made them available under a system called the Open Gaming License...

Welcome back to the game then. :) Templates are essentially themed modifications that can be made to monsters and/or characters. Sometimes they only apply to one specific type of creatures (like only humanoids) or they can be applied to virtually any creature (like giants, humanoids...

Shadow Dragons and Deep Dragons are usually found underground. Monsters of Faerun has the Shadow Dragon. I'm not sure where the Deep Dragons can be found but I'm certain they've been converted. I'm not aware of any location-specific undead, but zombies and skeletons of all types seem to fit...

Actually, no you don't. ECL (HD+level+level adjust) only affects how much experience you need to make the next level and how much starting gold you get (dmg 172). For determining Ability Increases and feats you only use HD+Levels, where feats are gained 1 every 3HD and ability increases are...

That's the one I was talking about, so no need to clog up the email. For high level adventures with creatures who multi-class, I found the guidelines essential. Other things to consider: 1. If the monsters are listed as tougher or elite, then give them the elite stat array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10...

It is Java based - not sure how it works on a mac though. Jon, Thanks for the download link Check out this link. It's in the computer forum and there are a number of Mac users there who are giving recommendations on the tools they use. Also, If you haven't found a copy of the conversion book...

First off - remember that you only need to be one adventure ahead on the conversion curve which should buy you some time. Secondly - Figure out what tools you want to use. eTools and PCGen both can create characters and monsters in a Stat-block like manner. There are many others - look at the...

The 100th Day The Topknot trolls were so named by the gnomes for the thick shock of black hair that grew straight up from the troll’s heads – a sign of favor from their demon-god, Vaprak. This particular clan of trolls was led by their tribal shaman, Greezelet, a rarity in that the shaman was...
