    Summoning Variant...

    Check out the newest dragon (306) for its list of new demons. There are 18 in all, six Tanar'ri, six Baatezu and six Yugoloth. Some of the Yugoloth are summon-able by 3rd level characters.

    Has anyone House Ruled the Half-Elf???

    I've seen those sorts of races, and my Guyaam (a race of red skinned, barbarous pseudo-elves) have the above mentioned stat modifiers. I think, frankly, that you have to go a bit farther to be +1 ECL than Wizards seems to think.

    Has anyone House Ruled the Half-Elf???

    Actually, the omission of the +2vs. Enchantment and immunity to sleep was a typo on my part... I'll edit it back. I think that the bonus skill points is too much. What I really wanted to do was find some sort of other ability that would encourage half-elven bards (especially if the bard is a...

    'interupt' actions? How would you do it?

    So you're in a constant state of delay until it becomes necessary? Better, but really, what's the difference between one round and another when they just cycle over and over, anyway? Maybe a good place to start would be a feat that allows you to just "Ready." No conditions, you just take an...

    Boosting saves to prevent permanent level drain?

    Vernon had prepared for this from the day he left the temple. He had heard these stories, again and again, to the point where they were less the true experiences of his elders, and more the endless drone of an urban legend, like those stories about the troll under the bridge. But the stories...

    throwing an object into the path of a spell's ray effect

    Epic Level Handbook has a personal ray deflection spell for high level monks, but I think that feat is an interesting mechanic, if a little cumbersome. You know, if the object is big enough, you could always just throw it into the line of the ray and apply a cover bonus to their save or AC...

    Has anyone House Ruled the Half-Elf???

    Yeah, but it's just reversed dwarf, isn't it? I think there's a lot of hypocritical stuff going on. Look at this: +2 str = -2 int/chr +2 dex = -2 str +2 dex = -2 con +2 con = -2 chr +2 con = -2 str Now... someone is getting shafted here, but I'm not sure who. The rules in the DMG don't...

    'interupt' actions? How would you do it?

    Star Wars allows one particular "Reaction" ability. This is the ability of a lightsaber to defend against and reflect back blaster bolts. This essentially means that if you react to danger, you've used up an attack action in your next turn, generally leaving you with only a move action. In DnD...

    Has anyone House Ruled the Half-Elf???

    My fellow DM and I have thought long and hard on this issue. No one ever plays a half-elf, and when they have in the past, it was for the role-playing aspect of being from two different worlds, and yet none (yada yada yada, I'm Tanis). In 3e, they get nothing but the "Any" favored class (Has...

    Feat: Uncanny Flank

    mmu1, you're right... I wonder though... what if the feat made flanking a little more user friendly? In other words: .@. In this position, the two @ symbols are flanking the X. .X. .@. @.. What if the feat made this possible? He's off a position of .X. Actual flanking by one square...

    Outsiders and Alignment

    A DM is always within rights to make a monster whatever alignment they choose. By the book, it doesn't really say they CAN'T change to an opposite alignment, just that they don't. I think that would be a DM adjudication.

    Feat: Force Substitution

    IMO, Elemental Substitution(Sonic) is too useful at +0 levels. Because it overcomes so many resistances. I've compensated by using more sonic resistant creatures when someone took this feat. However, note that the feat you've may (perhaps inadvertantly) allows any damage spell to affect...

    Feat: Uncanny Flank

    Actually, if you siphon out that first part, the no AoO bit, and make it only against the flanked individual, it's pretty cool. Maybe the prereqs are a little steep there, but I'm not sure. As for the flanking any time two people threaten... I might disagree somewhat mmu1. Rogues of about 7th...

    Balance issues with racial templates in Dragon 306

    Well, it's ok so long as you only do it in the context of a specific world, right? :D Oh, and I love that shadow template. Shadow Halflings would be a frightful creation. Also, some of my homebrew races would love to see that... ah the seeds are sown. My players will hate me once more...

    A call to all the innovative minds of the House Rules forum...

    I think you've done a perfectly fine job with those values: But I might suggest that a Great Wyrm dragon of any variety has denser, tougher skin than even a stone giant. Look at the Natural Armor values and the DR of those creatures... Actually, what do you think about this: Hardness = 1/2...

    A call to all the innovative minds of the House Rules forum...

    Under what circumstances do you need the hardness of these materials? Certainly the creatures don't get the hardness applied in combat. Is it just for the possibility of making armor out of it?

    New Feat for Multiclassed and "Half Level" Spellcasters

    I'm cool with this. Especially in regard to the multiclassing casters. Assassins might get a lot of use out of this, same for other specific-progression PrCs. Also, if you take this, there's no reason you can't take Spell Penetration or suchlike afterward, increasing it further. This feat serves...

    New Hiding Feat

    I admit it's powerful. That's why I'm so worried about the prereqs. I think making it a rogue class ability (from the 10th level and higher abilities) would be closer to accurate, but the more I look at it, the less well it sits with me. Ah well.

    New Hiding Feat

    Here's the idea, but it's late and I'm out of sorts... I'm putting it out there. What do you figure the prereq's should be? Maybe a feat with several prereqs, or maybe just a rogue special level 10+ ability? Feat: Shadowy Profile When you are actively hiding, and are spotted, you are still...

    Bug out

    Are there 3e stats for the chitine laying around? I remember them from 2e, but don't recall seeing them recently.
