Quote: A devil slain in the Nine Hells stays dead. A devil slain outside Baator devolves into a puddle of foamy, stinking ooze over a period of 3 to 9 minutes. This residual soul essence registers as both magical and evil. Any mortal ingesting it must make a successful DC 20 Fortitude save or...

Yeah refering to tables 4-9 to 4-11 in DMG. I was inquiring because of the following posted in the Main Faqs: There’s no official definition of humanoid physiology. This is one of those places where common sense and DM judgment must rule the day. The Sage advises that “humanoid physiology”...

Unless the item description states otherwise, assume that you can use it as many times per day as you wish. Think Ring of Invisibility. The pricing is pretty weird no doubt, but then again so is most of the items in the book. I think it should sell for 3000 gp myself but I suppose that the 10...

in 3.5 MM Lycanthropy can only be passed on to humanoids and giants. However in DMG NPC tables you reroll a were(add animal here) to pick the base race. Several of these other races are Monstrous Humanoids (i.e. Minotaur and Doppleganger) or Aberrations (Mind Flayer). Should the term humaniods...

Halfling Cleric using a +2 Holy Frost Shock Sling fires +1 Construct Bane Adamantine Bullets at a Stone Golem. The Golem is obviously Neutral so the Holy is irrelevant. Damage I computed was 1d3 (sling) +1d6 (frost) +1d6 (electricity) + 2d6 (bane) +3 (total enhancement from bane) +4 (str mod)...

Maybe it was the Forgotten Realms campaign setting that said that devils can attempt to persuade mortal's souls to become lemures/dretches. Also the MM says that Devils have a caste system and that they can be rewarded with a better station. I interpret this as a mortal that dies can become a...

Thanks, that part was bothering me. I remember Legend of Drizzt books where the demons would swear revenge in a hundred years. Also in Temple of Elemental Evil (video game) zugetmoy was banished for 100 years. So apparently they keep changing it? So as for the spirits of the dead? Do they get a...

What happens when an Outsider dies on the Prime Material Plane? Their native plane? What about the spirits of the dead? Do they remain spirits or do they transform into Demons, Solars, Archons, etc. If you can, provide a reference for the rules on this. (D&D 3.5) Obviously this is...

Sounds like a great way for the DM to execute righteous fury. Anyone smell TPK?

Nightshades have the Aversion to Daylight Characteristic: Aversion to Daylight (Ex) If exposed to natural daylight (not merely a daylight spell), nightshades take a -4 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. Would this make them succeptable to Sunburst's Autokill feature...

Barding can in theory be for any animal. Your DM may want you to train an animal to wear it properly, using the Handle Animal skill.

also for upgrades that don't have a plus value beside it (like +1, +2) you can add virtually any upgrade to your armor/weapon/ring/cloak etc by paying 1.5 times the cost. I.E. to add +2 Dex to your armor you look up the Gloves of Dex +2 = 4000 gp x 1.5 = 6000 gp to put it on your armor instead...

my original post was about core MM only. I would be hesitant to include earth elementals since their descriptions don't mention being subject to sonic attacks or being crystalline. Golems while potentially could be constructed from glass (I remember stain glass golem from ad&d), golems are...

sorry, lame joke

no idea what those are. any link to them?

Several Spells like Shatter and Shout explain how the spell works against crystalline enemies, but I've never come across one in the MM (core only). Outside of an Animated Window Pane (etc) what monsters would fall under the crystalline category?

something simple to use would be glitterdust to potentially blind the whole party. Scorching ray is alway a staple spell for an evoker (hell, my sorcerer is level 18 and still uses it regularly). Go invisible and start summoning monsters since that won't end invisibility. Mirror Image makes her...

Lets all just agree to stop this thread before someone loses an eye.

Also should be known if the teleport is a silent spell altogether or not. If there is a whoosh or a blip or smoke and brimstone (Nightcrawler) that could indicate where you are.

Not sure if this is in bounds of the spell (but when has that ever stopped me?). My sorcerer carries a Lantern of Revealing attached to his belt at all times. It stays unlit because the party Rogue likes to go invisible via his ring of invisibility. In the event that an opponent winks out, the...
