    Are standard Swarms shapable?

    That's a fair way of looking at it. I guess my hesitation at that working is somewhere the line has to be drawn between their instinctive response to stick together and how many component creatures are necessary to spread themselves out like that. IMO, to go after 2 targets 20' or more apart you...

    [AU] Lost Dreams: The Stone Troll

    Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade "Well, as I hinted at before, we're currently working as caravan guards for a gent named Mollen. If you can wield that axe as well as you carry it and are interested in the possibility of such work you could head over to Mollen's House with us after we finish our...

    Can Web be cast amongst trees?

    Or you could just upload them to the group board like you've been promising you would, then we'd all have our own. :D

    Are standard Swarms shapable?

    See, I can picture that, too, but what happened during our battle last session wasn't like that at all. They literally "appeared" in our midst as 10' cubes, then began spreading out to tag as many PCs as possible. At one point I remember there being a 4-square line with a PC anchoring each end...

    [AU] Lost Dreams [Closing Down]

    Kalythar, Kelsis & Aadin are all there in the store with Tash & the owner. I haven't read about anyone else yet. Simplest answer is beastmen. I tend to think of them as AU's version of orcs. ;)

    [AU] Lost Dreams [Closing Down]

    Howdy Ion & Ferrix! I obviously need to check this thread more often. I had no idea either of you had joined up but expected Erekose13 would replace Gren soon unless he jumped back in soon. Glad to have you both aboard! I'm not sure if Kalythar is stronger looking than Kelsis, but since I got...

    [AU] Lost Dreams: The Stone Troll

    Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade While Aadin haggles with Portus, Kalythar takes a bit of time looking around at the wares, and also gives Tash a sideways appraising glance to check out his arms & armor. Getting the impression that Tash is both trained and comfortable with how such things are...

    Are standard Swarms shapable?

    @dream66_: That's one convert! Thanks for the vote of confidence. ;) Asking them because we're going to abide by their ruling I won't do, but...asking them just to see what they'll say I'd certainly go along with! :lol: Not really, though much of my stance comes from that first part in the...

    Are standard Swarms shapable?

    That's true. It's just that the use of "larger" in the previous sentence leads to believe they are talking about "larger" swarms, but if they did that the grammer would be off. The word swarm is a single unit representation of more than one of its components. A "standard" swarm has a square or...

    Are standard Swarms shapable?

    You seem to be taking the sentence you want out of context. With your interpretation, Jester, the word "large" in that sentence is completely unnecessary since the standard swarm is large. With both sentences together I read the second sentence as a clarification of the first (which is necessary...

    Are standard Swarms shapable?

    Okay, then I'm obviously in the minority here. :) Still, with the interpretation of the majority I have a conflict with these two sections: The first quote does not use the term "a 10-foot space" like every other place in the relevant text does. Instead it specifically delineates a square or...

    Are standard Swarms shapable?

    And what's the paragraph immediately preceding that one in the Swarm entry? This one! If the section you quoted is the overriding rule, why do the authors bother stating in the very first part of both the monster entry and the swarm subtype entry that "A single swarm occupies a square (if it...

    Are standard Swarms shapable?

    Our DM, Nail, threw three bird swarms at us last week (nuthatches, I guess). Having looked at the Swarm rules myself for my own game only a week or two before, I was surprised to see him maneuver the Swarms into several tetris-like configurations to attack the greatest number of PCs each round...

    [AU] Lost Dreams: The Stone Troll

    Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 4 Nodding at Aadin's words, Kalythar says, "Your words are wise, Aadin, but with Glacial Wind I need no other weapon in close combat. I've always preferred swords anyway. The ring, however, could certainly prove useful to me...if no one else has a stronger claim to...

    [AU] Lost Dreams: The Stone Troll

    After Johr mentions the cold, barren plain Kalythar waits until Johr's deep into his mug, then gives Kelsis a querying look. If his tale has any truth to it, that "Citadel of Ice" Aadin & Kelsis were discussing could be nearby. After Johr finishes his telling, Kalythar asks, "Well, Johr, that...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    ouini, over the weekend I was able to work something out that works rather well. It still relies on roleplaying restrictions but I think, given that many of these abilities are supposedly granted by an outside source (like a deity, for Clerics), that's necessary in some cases. Anyway, what I...

    Admins disabled Profile email addresses?

    I noticed just now that I couldn't access someone's email address from their profile. I get a message saying the administrator's have disabled this function. At first I thought it was because I'd forgotten to log in, but after doing so I received the same message. I then checked my own profile...

    Post Your House Rules

    @ Galethorn: Would you be willing to email me your feat conversions? I'm in the middle of doing essentially just that for all the Core & AU classes for my spreadsheet in this thread here. My email address is in my profile. Thanks! @ the_bruiser: How has your Two-Weapon Specialist feat worked...

    What are good Prereqs for Uncanny Dodge as a Feat?

    Do any other feats have an ability prereq of 11+? And I can't agree with Dodge as a prereq. Uncanny Dodge isn't a "second tier" feat, IMO, and Core Barbarian's & Rogue's don't have anything remotely like Dodge as class features. I'm not looking for an Uncanny Dodge-like feat to offer a...

    What are good Prereqs for Uncanny Dodge as a Feat?

    Right. That's what I'm thinking, too. The Wisdom makes some sense to me, like it does for the Blindsight 5' radius feat (though I think that's 19+, IIRC) but I don't want to discrimintate against all the dumb Barbarians & Rogues out there. :p But is Dex 13+ enough? Since I'm moving more...
