That could work, but people might confuse them with the astral deva angel. Didn't they have deva in 2E? I don't have any of the base MM supplements for 2E, just Greyhawk and some Undermountain stuff.

UK, question. I'm combining all the celestials (angels, archons, eladrin, and guardinals) into one blanket subtype: celestial, and all the fiends (demons and devils) into the fiend subtype. Now, I want to split the celestials into angels (LG, which covers angels and archons) and something else...

Gee, Ark, tell us what you really think. :D But seriously, I've never seen the point for every single humanoid subtype either - it's needlessly complex.

Ohhh, right, right - I forgot that you usually face multiple creatures, which means they'd have lower ECLs individually. Duh. Quick (unrelated) question: Since abominations have full hp/HD, would they get a high CR/HD rating than normal outsiders (i.e., more than 0.7/HD)? And another one: If...

Um, dude.. not only is red hard to read, but it's generally considered the purview of the moderators - I've seen them smack other people for using it. First thing I thought when I saw red text was "Who did what now?" On topic: Instead of doing multiple templates, do you think it'd be easier to...

Damn. I was hoping to eliminate CR for monsters altogether - they'd all be rated by ECL. When you throw together a bunch of monsters, you use the EL calculator, and there you go. CR would be limited to traps, hazards, and challenges - anything inanimate. Using ECLs would make combining monsters...

Try the DMG. Lan: May I also recommend the Lunar Huntsman PrC? It's a custom class I made for a book that never got published, one of my favorites. It's predicated on "lycanthrope" being a favored enemy.

I've been going over my revised monsters using the v5 rules and assigning ECLs instead of CRs. One thing I realized, though - ECL is more than CR, not less. I was going to assign ECLs in place of HD for spell effects like blasphemy, since they're more accurate, but would it be better to use CR...

I'm just waiting for v6, personally.

*wanders in, looks around* "Hello?" *listens to the crickets, shrugs, and wanders off*

There's noting wrong with double weapons; the staff is a time-honored and very effective weapon. Spiked chains aren't so bad if you drop the damage, IMO. They're really effective for only one build (the trip-monkey). Because... it's small and you can fire it with one hand? :D Hell if I know. I...

Only problem is, the epic rules are 3.0, not 3.5 - no one's ever (officially) converted them.

Weehaw! New combat rules! With the help of Hawken (from this forum) and EjoThims (from another) I bring you an overhauled version of the 3.5 combat system. It slices, it dices, it'll blow you away! All for the low, low price of... nothing!

Someone on the Brilliant Gameology boards had a really cool idea - add requirements for exotic weapons and ditch the EWP feat. I think we can all agree the feat is nigh unto worthless, and making all exotic weapons martial, but with prereqs, means that using weapon groups is much more balanced -...

I know I tried adding BAB originally (PF's CMB uses it), and I dropped it for some reason. I just don't remember why. I think it was because of feedback on the Paizo forums - I'll have to check. (Funnily enough, the original example I used for multiple grapplers includes BABs in the formulae...

Looks like you've got it all covered. As for what monster has the most... there are a few in the ELH with three: The anaxim: good and silver and epic; The hecatoncheires: good and cold iron and epic; And probably a couple others.

I'd have to go with Hawk on this one. The W/VP system has been almost universally panned as badly designed, and I don't know many folks who use it anymore.

Yes! That's perfect. But, uh.. you said you didn't like opposed checks. :p. What I'm suggesting (roll vs. a DC) isn't a true opposed check; it's a grapple check vs. DC 10 + Str mod + size mod. Pathfinder uses a variation of that, and people love it. Ah, I see. That makes sense. I thought of...

Wow, too many replies. I'll just condense it. Re: unarmed strikes and proficiency: Those of you who say it requires proficiency would appear to be correct (and yes, Vegepygmy, it IS a weapon - otherwise it wouldn't require proficiency). Huh. It's rather stupid, though... if they (my fists) are...
