Looking at the werewolf statblock, they're a "Medium humanoid (human, shapechanger)" So, the two favoured enemies to pick are human, which applies to all humans. Or Shapechangers which applies to all lycanthropes AND all others with the shapechanger subtype. So, have them take "Humanoid (Other...

Ignoring, for now, spells that completely bypass illusions in the first place, yes I agree that detect magic can get you part way there. It does not identify the hat of disguise for what it is. Beyond that.. The problem I have with this assertion is that you start with 'if someone is...

MIGHT tell you they have a magical effect emanating from their head. Doesn't tell you what the effect is, specifically. Doesn't bypass it in any real sense, just alerts you they have magic - and if you can afford the hat chances are you have magic anyhow so it doesn't give a real advantage...

I haven't seen many arguments about rings of invisibility but as far as I recall, hats of disguise are worded similarly. In the case of the hats, I've seen it ruled that the upkeep of the disguise check is required so that a PC cannot continually use the hat as a secret identity - because...

I started work on it in 2008 sometime. Since then it has gone through a LOT of revisions so that early material doesn't even match up with more recent stuff. A couple of years ago I started work on my own RPG system, which changed some things too. In general I try to write non-edition specific...

Always used my own setting. Took a few bits and tricks to update for Pathfinder but nothing really that major. I don't even use the Pathfinder gods or cosmology (though I'm considering it) and instead use the 3.5 ones which I have been since I first started writing my setting. So, really the...

I really enjoyed the beginning but I disliked the more linear endpoints. The kingdom rules were a little wacky and did little more than facilitate the advancement along the (linear) plotline. If looking for something less .. for lack of a better word.. fast then it doesn't work as well. Over...

I haven't looked to closely at the previews (it's not my thing to read them so piecemeal) but I've read some and I do have issue with these "slave race" connections. Or the presumed connections between certain creatures that came out during the Wandering Monster articles - like Driders and Drow...

How often? I assume weekly? I would love this, right up my alley. Saturdays are subpar for me. I often have things going on one way or another - projects, family gatherings, etc. However given everything else sounds cool I'm seriously thinking of trying to get Saturdays free. I live in...

Right, but assuming the movie is good and assuming that brings in a new generation, lapsed players, and anybody at all - all the way up to and surpassing 20 million - has no relationship to the goldeness of the edition that we are playing. The movies being good will reflect well on the game, the...

Summoning Mercurious Wouldn't something like this work regardless of the books? I mean it doesn't matter in the slightest what edition we are in, movies will follow their own rules (if they have rules at all) and will (at best) rely on old material that made the grade. Look at the DC animated...

Fair enough. When googling and trying to find the picture I always think of from the 3.5 Monster Manual - I realize that "person shaped dragon" is basically what comes up most often for half-dragons. It is possibly just me that has my view of half-dragons, since I never went looking for other...

Mercurious I think most of my would-be responses to your reply were covered in the mean time, mostly by pemerton I want to add that the reason I quoted Hussar and not you is that I understood your original intent, so I waited until the thread was skewing towards the supposed "golden age" that...

The game isn't even out yet. Most people haven't seen the books let alone had chance to properly go through them. Now if there was something immediately stupid like the print coming off the pages like what happened in 4e then we might be hearing of that by now, but the release date for the FIRST...

I can't believe that I forgot this point. Yes. 100 percent this. Granted, I assumed the OP meant how to tell in general. Though yeah, a dwarf-sized half-dragon would be fairly obviously different than a dragonborn sized one. Surely half-dragons are to half-fiends (as dragonborn are to...

Just my two cents. From a player perspective I see them as two very different things. Half-dragons are a template, they're much stronger than the average person (level adjustment, depending on how that is done). They're more draconic and by that I mean they have tails, wings (in pathfinder, or...

Possibly because it is the "criminal" background instead of the "thief" or "master thief" background? Criminal doesn't necessarily mean he steals. Murderers are criminals. Pyromaniacs. Graffiti artists. Or he's just bad at it, low level after all. ....Or I could be completely wrong. I haven't...

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/discernLies.htm That works for outright detection. I don't know about the rest of your questions. But that first one seems pretty easy. I feel like I'm missing some aspect you are really trying to ask. I've seen Sense Motive be used as a poor man's lie detector...

Which system(s) are you interested in getting into? What is your schedule of availability? (Once-Daily-Weekly-Monthly.) Days and times you want to play? I think that's probably a good place to start. I do actually have something I'm putting together if you are willing to run a beta test for...

There are a couple of solutions. A. Assuming the barb 1 is first level, they could heal 1d12+2d(4/6)s. If it had been wiz 10, barb 1 - that would be 3d(4/6). If it had been wiz 1, barb 1, wiz 2-10; then 1d(4/6)+1d12+1d(4/6). A bit silly but might work. B. What I did in my homebrew system is...
