    Your experiences with Creeping Doom

    Multiple swarms should be able to stack on a single creature of large or larger size and do more damage. It would be like a person (RL) in Texas getting bit by fire ants. *5 ants could pose a possible health risk, 10 ants and he'd probably need immediate medical assisstance, 15 or more would...

    Retrieving a potion while grappled

    I think the whole point of grappling is to manipulate the other persons actions and damage them at the same time. The best way to keep someone from helping himself is to grapple / pin him. Pinning adds the extra benefit that if they had a weapon you can now use it against them.

    Seafaring characters

    I think a sequel would just kill the movie. "There's a shortage of perfect 'movies' in this world, 'twould be a pity to damage this one." Back on topic (mostly) a Swashbuckler would make an excellent 'Dread Pirate' Roberts.

    Seafaring characters

    Sorry, it's a movie reference (The Princess Bride) "HA HA, You fool. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only slightly less well known is this - NEver go in against a Cicelian when DEATH is on the line. AH...

    At what distance do you start making Listen checks?

    I agree with that. I walk softly without making an effort. Of course, when I do make an effort I usually can't.

    Yeah, but did she go in against a Cicelian when death was on the line?

    Looking for a twisted BBGG CR 10

    How do you get no ASF from that? Mithral only reduces ASF by 5 or 10% and full plate has an ASF higher than that?

    Please help me put the numbers to the concept

    Ninja would be good for the other side for its ability to handle poison. They also have good mobility, add wisdom to armor class and can gain Ki abilities that allow them to go invisible and deal with incoporeal creatures. Fighter / Dervish (Whip PrC) would also be good. The fighter feats would...

    A monk pirate concept was covered in the PS2 game Summoner 2 (Prince Neru).

    Spider climb vs Monstrous spider

    When the rubberband hit right beside it the spider started to 'run'. When it tried to move to the other wall from the corner it fell (the DC was 5 higher) since taking 10 was no longer an option it failed its climb check when it rolled. On a darker note, my notice check was lower than its hide...

    Natural Bond

    So it's just awakened nulls animal growth and not the companion part. I must have had my information crossed there. Thanks.

    Natural Bond

    I thought they did away with using awaken on an animal companion in 3.5. For whatever reason (I can't recall right now) that awaken no longer worked it made Animal Growth no longer an option for the companion.

    Spider climb vs Monstrous spider

    I've seen a spider fall from the corner of two walls before when it tried to move quickly. Though I've never seen a spider fall off a ceiling either, I've never seen a spider try to run accross a ceiling.

    Yeah, I see. I checked when I got home. Thanks.

    Rust monsters touch attack?

    DC 17 reflex save if attended (which if you are wearing or wielding it would be). Unattended magic items, I believe, get no save.

    Human Paragon

    That's what I was thinking but all the other paragons say +1 to spell casting class. Human Paragon just said to class (I think). I just wanted to get it cleared up before I got home.

    Human Paragon

    In the Human Paragon level progression it has on the right +1 to class (or something to that effect). Is this supposed to be for spellcasting classes, for abilities that you have already acquired or for gaining new abilities in an exsting class?

    Help with a Scout Build

    Our DM doesn't allow anything from the psionic books, we play 3.5 and hw doesn't allow 3.0 rules and he already nixed the idea of magical means of movement for the purposes of skirmish. As a scout / ranger / druid what is the big deal about allowing skirmish while mounted? You have to take...

    Help with a Scout Build

    This is what I'm doing. I mostly only took Scout for Trapfinding, 1 level of Druid for the companion and the rest are going to be Ranger. I wanted to at least make use of my Skirmish ability so I made my companion a mount so that I could take a full attack. I'm still 1 feat shy of mounted...

    Why is SR necessary to the game?

    Let me change up a bit: SR would be more like the armor that a fighter would wear. The attack would have to penetrate the armor to affect the wearer. ST's would be more like dexterity and dodge AC. The defender relies on these to get ut of the way of harm. Unlike physical armor that should be...
