    Positive Energy vs Negative Energy...good vs evil?

    Actually, it doesn't use logic at all. It's just another very minor point to consider. I'll explain myself more further in the post. That is not quite true, though I see your point. It does link them together. It is, however, a very weak link (but then I already said that initially) and not...

    Positive Energy vs Negative Energy...good vs evil?

    That is true. However Elysium, the plane of pure good is Positive aligned. There are holes in the theory that Positive and Negative energy are neutral. They're just not big ones. :)

    2E monsters that haven’t been converted

    I'm in no hurry. :)

    What exactly is the Great Modron March?

    It's not quite as bad as Four Doors to the Unknown as far as expected levels are concerned though. It's a series of 4 (or was it 5) adventures that must take place within a two months period of time. The first one is for beginning characters and the last one is for 10th level characters or so...

    2E monsters that haven’t been converted

    If you list them, I'll search for them. :)

    2E monsters that haven’t been converted

    I just did a quick edit of my list to remove all the monsters I had 3E stats for. It's certain that some of the remaining ones have already been converted somewhere. Heck, I probably missed a couple from the MM or some obvious place - I'm no monster expert. I hope you can find a couple of...

    DM Question: Ditching Old Characters Without Dying

    The answer is easy then. Not abuse => start at the same level you were at Abuse => start one level lower If you need hard and fast rules, you can just say that the first character change for each player has no penalty and every one after that loses a level.

    Troubles with Fire Shield

    Ah, but the PHB writeup also starts with "This spell wreathes you in flame and causes damage to each creature that attacks you in melee." It's very badly written, that spell.

    Troubles with Fire Shield

    What ? You quote "causes damage to each creature that attacks you in melee" and then say that it's clear that they have to hit ? :confused:

    2E monsters that haven’t been converted

    Ah, nuts. I just compiled a list of Planescape monsters including 3E source if I knew of one, but you don't need that. Ah well. Hey, does anyone have a complete list of all 2E monsters that have been converted to 3E ? Specifically, I'd like to know whether weird monsters such as the...

    [Libris Mortis] Bleakborn: how do you kill it?

    The Disintegrate spell has 2 effects: 1) It does hp damage. 2) If it reduces the target to 0 hp, it also disintegrate the target. A human who gets tagged by disintegrate and is reduced to exactly 0 hp dies. It doesn't die from lack of hit points (it never reached -10 hp), but from the second...

    Shirt +5 Silent?

    I think there is a sidebar in Arms and Equipment about allowing Bracers of Armor to have armor abilities. If that's so, +1 Bracers of Heavy Fortification would be legal (assuming the DM uses the rules from that book as is, of course), so I wouldn't have a problem allowing a shirt that does the...

    [Libris Mortis] Bleakborn: how do you kill it?

    Yeah, but it's a "if brought to 0 hp or less, it heals such and such" thing. Just like regeneration, if only prevents it from "dying" from hit points damage. Death effects or an equivalent will work. Of course, undead are immune to actual death effects, but Disintegrate should work (just like it...

    So now we can use a buckler hand to cast a spell with somatic!

    Light shields allow you to shield bash. And unlike heavy shields, I think they are considered light weapons. But yeah, we never see light shields right now in our games, and rarely see heavy shields. Almost everybody use bucklers.

    Paralysis Cure? (touched by a Ghoul)

    Yeah, and if you want to know why this is so, taliesin15, feel free to email me at ... well nevermind. ;)

    Is a deal with the devil Evil?

    Nah, that's pretty much the same thing for 2E baatezu and tanar'ri.

    Cone from above

    Someone, your math is right, but if you take the whole diameter as the spell's area of effect, then some people on the edge would get full damage even though only their feet are within the cone. What is the rule for squares with partial overlapping of spell areas, again ? Can't remember... If...

    Is a deal with the devil Evil?

    No kidding. Fortunately, there's no way the rest of the party will let him go through with this. I hope. :) Why aren't the three good churches helping with the plague and all, again ? I smell a player trap DM Setup. :cool:

    Helpless characters and Reflex saves

    I have no problem with sleeping people getting a reflex save in most circumstances. Let's take a fireball as an example. We know that within the area of any fireball, there will be a location/position combination where the target takes less damage. The presence of the evasion ability in the...

    Unlimited magic missiles?

    Then, you could replace it with a 5/day item. Same cost, if you follow the formulas. Personally, I don't think this would be so broken. Of course, it varies from game to game. Past, say, 6th level, this would only be used if a PC had absolutely nothing better to do in a round. In a "default"...
