The 20th level druid is an awakened tree as per the Awaken spell from the PHB, while a normal treant is born that way. Key differences: Treant - roughtly a combination of a human and a tree - face, eyes, hands, two legs. Has the power to animate trees ala Tolkienish Ents Awakened Tree - Retains...

Would someone mind posting a table of contents or a link to one? I'm not quite sure if it would be valuable to a player, as I do not have any current interest in DM a Planescape campaign.

Unearthed Arcana has a nice varient, that allows a specialist to give up their familiar, bonus feats, and bonus spells/day in returns for some special abilities. Some of them are cool and some of them are duds, but the player has the choice of which class abilities they swap out. Erge

It's a little too late now, but there is a 20/20 special on the accuracy of the claims in the Da Vinci code for those interested. Erge

There are a few airports in LA, to which do you refer?

A hole in a techtonic plate? Well, I would think that the violence would cause a volcano to form, causing near by bodies of water to either boil away or become hot springs, a kin to those in Yosimite. Now, depending on the tectonic movement, the hole will form a rift valley or sink hole...

Hiya folks, I'm interested in starting a game on or off campus this fall. I will be dorming, so if we're off campus we're going to need a venue. If I can get 3 or 4 people, then I plan on running the published adventure series starting with the adventure in the back of the CS. If you're...

Cyre I would go with the Ottoman Empire. While I'm not 100 percent versed in Ottoman history, IIRC, they were divided up in everywhich way, including having "victors" claim territory (the other four nations) and former governed people declair independance (Mournland Warforged). I really think...

Honestly, I thought the Vindicated video by Dashboard Confessional was more "revealing" of the plot. Then again, I also think the song sets the tone for the movie, so maybe it just felt like it was giving off the vibe of spoilers. Erge

I DMed a game where I had to hand the reigns over to the other DM so that the characters would continue. Since they failed their quest (which I was fairly sure they would do about two sessions before the big finale), I used a big cut scene to describe what happened as this earth shattering...

I would think these fellas would be almost universally reviled by humans depending on how they acted. They would have exceptionally good diplomats and would likely be very good merchants and traders. Now, it depends on the usual demenor of these empathic elves. I would seriously not be happy...

"bully"+"wug" (as in bug) Erge

Seems to be a little more on the powerful side - especially the "learn by watching" ability. I have to ask - when you say "wizardy" spells, do you mean arcane, or spells that appear on the wizard/socerer spell list? When the spell is understood, does the spellcaster still have to pay the...

Hmm, sounds like it might not be grounding properly. Something is shorting and causing a shut down. Check to see if any loose screws rolled under the motherboard and are causing a short on the case. Erge

My last true table top gam was last August. I play nearly every week online in two separate chat games. I haven't found a game on Cal Poly's campus or near by, so I've just stuck with my online games. Erge

I've got boxes of books at home, only a handful here with me. I like Feist (Riftwar/SerpentWar/etc.), Eddings (Sparhawk/Belgarion), Tolkien (duh), GRRMartin (A Song of Fire and Ice), Lawrence Watt-Evans (Obsidian Cronicles), George Dickenson (Dragon and a ______), Clive Clusser (Dirk Pitt...

It's pretty good. Without reading the manual - just diving into the program, I cranked out this map: http://www.thimtona.com/pics/iotis.jpg . I don't play with it much, but then again, I'm not running a game really, so there you have it :D Erge

He's got a point. If you don't like what's on TV - you can turn it off, if you don't like a newpaper - you can choose not to buy it, if you don't like an internet site - you can choose not to go there, if you don't like what someone is saying - you can choose not to listen. Now what AOL is doing...

That would fall under Profession (Apothecary) not a craft check. For me, I'd allow you to use Craft Alchemy with a +2 syngergy bonus to healing salves (Tome and Blood) if you had 5 ranks in heal and another +2 synergy bonus for profession (herbalist) or (apothecary) and five ranks. Erge

Let's look at some other feats in comparison. Skill Focus gives +3 to any one skill. Weapon Focus gives +1 to attack rolls on one weapon Great Strength 1/2 of the time giving +1 to melee attack rolls, +1 to swim, climb, and jump, and increased carrying capacity. Great Intellegence 1/2 of the...
