Where do you get your numbers from? It seems to me, outside the realm of warships, 200 crew is fairly large. Note that Compliment and Crew are not synonymous - for example the USS Niagara launched in 1813 was a brig with a crew of 18 professional, 24 volunteer, but a complement of 155 including...

Hey that's really nice to know, I've walked past Thor Heyerdahl's old house several times :)

Duration is 1 minute, and it's attack, saves and AC 1/day. This is ok, but I want to follow the 3+Wis mod uses per day as is common, at which point this power becomes way too good. Sorry for the inaccuracy, I didn't have the book when I posted the OP. I think this is the closest to what I...

Erhh most deities in D&D are not worthy of worship really... plenty of paladins have fallen for acts which they were not truly responsible for. but in any case I was not being wholly serious. Not sure why it would have to be curse and not an actual mental disability as it is in RL. And yeah...

Hey I am DMing a PF game set in Kalamar, that uses a bunch of 3.0 Domains. So far I've been able to use the PF domains just fine, even the subdomains (Trade, Rune etc.) but I have found no equivalent of Hatred Domain. Does anyone have this or can think of what powers to use? The spell list is...

Hehe, I kinda like the concept. It's like "blasted ())&/¤%¤&/) - oh no there goes my third level spells again"

Hmm, Larvik Island? Weird coincidence, I am from the town of Larvik.

Hmm weird double post. Anyway, I would go for the carrack, it looks a bit like a cog, but is seaworthy and less early medival. It can even have cannon (well medieval bombards really), but it doesent look out of place with a couple of ballistae instead. Google it, find some pictures and see if...

So, you want inspiration for a ship? What kind of time period were you thinking? You want the typical medieval stuff (cogs, galleys) or the more seagoing exploration type (Carrack, caravel?) The difference lies in the time, the latter ships were use by Columbus, and the Santa Maria Carrack had...

Well the main problem with the crossbow here is the fact that D&D has hit points, a lack of damage reduction from armor and especially the need for specialization in feats and magic items. Because of HPs, a well placed bolt cannot kill a man, even a critical hit only does on average 9 damage...

If your DM allows it, there is a feat in Complete Divine that allows a cleric to spontaneously cast healing spells. It requires 1 rank of Heal skill or some such, which of course is worth it. In the game I play I have a cleric who channels negative energy and have this feat, but I gave the...

Ah, this is as I suspected, just needed to confirm it. I thought I might have found a loophole to take a PrC that really doesen't benefit much from having two different types of spellcasting. No Geomancer for me then ;)

Hey This question is really regarding 3.5 but I think it would be the same for pathfinder. Now as you know quite a few Prestige Classes requires "able to cast x level arcane/divine spells. The question is what qualifies as an arcane spell? Domains: Some domains grant spells which are from...

1) Yes. it's his primary attack form and not counted as an unarmed attack. 2)No special rules for ability damage, so just use normal DC as use str damage as damage. 3)IMO yes, but I'm not sure the rules support AoO with touch spells. Using it does not provoke an AoO so it doesen't count as a...

I suppose you could add HD to the creature as well per the Monster Advancement rules, if you wanted to make a particular tough heavy warhorse. Also, anyone noticed how horses are slower now? Used to be 60' speed for light horses.

A warhorse generally does not attack on it's own without it's rider controlling it to do so. It's not an equal party member, Animal Companion, Familiar or Cohort. And apart from Cohorts none of those gain xp either, and are much tougher than normal warhorses in combat. Also note that Warhorses...

Yeah that's kinda ridiculous. The way I see it, as long as you only use animals from RL 3.5 Wild Shape worked very well. Yes, you could go from a 8 Str human to a 19 Str bear at 5th level, but the Fighter with 18 str would still probably outdamage you, and your AC would be really bad. It's...

If you have above average Strength and change to a Large Bear (Beast Shape 2) you get 16 strength. That makes you still a weak Bear. If you got the Bear's actual "racial modifier" added to your original strength you would have a much higher strength, but you only get a size bonus of +4. I...

IIRC in 3.5 you got the (average)physical attributes of the animal you shaped into. Thus if you shaped into a bear that typically has 19 str then you got 19 str no matter your own. You got most of the new form's qualites, abiities etc, which for animals usually meant all of them. Thus for all...
