Oh... I'd duck if I were you.

Does it even matter? I thought everything was now measured in squares? :]

Nothing says cheese like racial proficiency in a cheesey weapon. Why not just give them mercurial greatswords and be done with it. I think that, to me, the shadar-kai just smacks of trying too hard. Anyway, I'm done complaining. I'm gonna start a thread about monsters I like.

As I said it was another ability score. I don't remember how it was determined. I think it was equal to Thinking or Defending, which ever was lower. Anytime a mind-bending situation arose the player made a Sanity check against a difficulty determined by the severity of the situation. Failure...

I've run Cthulhu-esque horror with it. I had to tack on a sanity mechanic which was essentially another attribute. This was also during a very narrative phase for me and I had trait descriptors for attributes that could be burned for bonuses or re-draws. It's a fun little game but it didn't...

Thanks Erik. That was quite interesting. The yellow musk creeper is near and dear to me. In my early days of gaming it was central to an encounter that has stuck with me. It was the first time I ever felt real fear in a game and the creeper has been a staple for me ever since. The original...

Oh, so totally. The ethergaunts are so creepy. I've had one floating around in the background of a few of my games. The PCs have yet to run across any of these guys yet cuz they are way above the power level of most of the games I've run. Even the grunts come in at a meaty CR9 and I wouldn't...

I think it would be threatened 10-15', no threat at 5' as usual. From the SRD: Most reach weapons double the wielder’s natural reach, meaning that a typical Small or Medium wielder of such a weapon can attack a creature 10 feet away, but not a creature in an adjacent square. A typical Large...

I'll third the system being total arse. It's clunky, doesn't have the grain required for some kinds of challenges and advances oddly. I wasn't a huge fan of Firefly but the setting stuff seemed pretty good. Don't pay top dollar. Get it used if you can. Mine it for setting material and use d20...

I'd... like to say... thank you Captain but... I... don't know hoW!

Total aside here: This reminds me of subduing dragons from 1e. Even if the encounter goes wrong you have a new adventure with the wyrmlings as unwilling servants to some vile potentate. Good luck!

For the quality of the poison Knw (arcana) DC 20. Removing the poison gland from the stinger Survival DC 25. (Save vs. poison on 1) Turning the venom sac into usable poison Craft (alchemy) or Profession (poisoner) DC 20. Substitute Profession (poisoner) for any of the above skill checks (DC...

Is this still around anywhere? I've googled and what not but I can't find a link anywhere. RPGNow hosted it at one time but it's gone now. Ken, if you're out there, have you got any revisions or updates? One of my players was a really big fan of this piece of work and he's thinking about...

That's right. If the giant were using a giant-sized longspear or other pole-arm then you'd have an adjacency issue but the greatclub is a threatened area weapon. frankthedm's post way above illustrates all this nicely. As for Large and In Charge I don't know where that is published these days...

What diaglo said. Though there might be a size issue since hill giants are only one step above most humanoids. Hill giants, or anybody with natural reach for that matter, can attack anything directly adjacent. Your players are probably confused by the reach trait of most polearms which does...

I'm trying things out in Ravenloft. They've just started out so I won't see the effects for a while. One thing I'm going to do which is counter to the E6 philosophy is leave the Darklords as is and not reduce them to E6+X. There unique status in Ravenloft warrants this I feel. I think that the...

I won't get into builds but somebody should most definitely have these spells. They're both Sorc/Wiz3, right at your cap. The key to dragons is keeping them on the ground and both of these spells can accomplish that. They are best as the lead salvo and can result in a very quick defeat of the...

I like the dragonne. With his roar every d4 rounds, flight, and pounce it can serve as an excellent harrier. CR 7 with avg. 74 hp makes it a challenge even on par encounters. Displacer beasts can be fun but they generally work best as a pack. I advanced and ettercap to large and gave him a...

As a GM I would say no. Only for the reason that you can not make the pre-reqs of Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat and Ride-by Attack. Instead take the feat Powerful Charge from the Ebberon core book or MM3. It has no pre-req other than BA +1 and as a large creature adds 2d6 to your damage dealt...

Gunther was Farnsworth's monster, a la Frankenstein. Fry's roommate-ship was purely incidental to the Monkey vs. Himself theme of the episode. I am Bender. Insert Girder.
