Hey there. I think I may have finally figured out what was bothering me so much about this, and keeping me from accepting the lucid explanation above. I was thinking that it wouldn't make sense for a dragon to choose spells from the sorcerer and cleric lists, and from certain domains, because...

Shilsen, if I had a Christmas card list, I'd put you on it. Your second quote especially gets to the heart of my question, but the language still confuses me somewhat. It makes it clear that the dragon will have the same number of spells available as a sorcerer of its caster level. What I'm...

Thank you, Shilsen. Is that your own reading of the rules, or can you refer me to some "official" ruling? Anyone else?

A few questions to which I'm undoubtedly the only one who hasn't the answers, as per usual, it seems... Do dragons who cast spells as sorcerers have the same limitation on number of spells known as a sorcerer of their casting level? And if the answer to the above is affirmative, then if a...

Not so fast!!! The Magic Jar description (from the SRD) states... "If successful, the character's life force occupies the host body, and the host’s life force is imprisoned in the magic jar. The character keeps most mental abilities and gains some physical abilities, as with polymorph other...

When a ghost with the malevolence ability possesses a creature, and that creature is successfully attacked and damaged, does it harm the ghost? Which hit point total is used, the ghost's or the possessed creature's? If it is the ghost's, is it modified for the Constitution of the possessed...

Hi there. I was interested about DEF bonuses too, having flipped through WoT. Some very helpful folks answered my questions on this thread. I made up a table summarizing the info, which I've attached. Hope this stuff helps. (Its just about DEF, nothing about armor providing DR.)

Question: A druid has been granted an enhancement to strength by the Bull's Strength spell. He uses wildshape to take the form of an animal, say a bull. Does the enhancement bonus from the spell still apply?

I have an idea that I'd like to share. Feedback would be appreciated. Specialist Sorcerers: A specialist sorcerer would be similar to a specialist wizard, except he or she would gain a bonus spell known per spell level, instead of a bonus spell per level per day. Everything else (benefits...

This is just a shameless ***BUMP*** Am I the only one who loves custom PrCs?

Back again. This is too much. Compare the barbarian's Rage ability; the raging barbarian is at -2 to AC, compared to the Cultist's combined AC bonus of +6; the barbarian's rage is measured in rounds, the Cultist's ability in hours. The increase at 4th adds insult to injury in terms of...

Here are my comments: Cool name, very evocative. The alignment requirement makes sense. The ability to cast 1st level divine spell should be scrapped; the kind of powers you're envisioning just don't allow for simultaneous spellcasting progression as well. By "Weapon Proficiency in jaguar...

Re: Power... Technik is absolutely right, point for point. REALLY cool concept, wonderful ideas, just way too powerpacked for 10 levels.

I wonder if you're being sarcastic... But in any case, damage die type could increase in the same fashion as damage is adjusted for weapons of larger size. If you're worried about 'jumps' in damage, then d6+d8 is a pretty good substitute for a d14, two d8s for a d16, and d8+d10 for a d18. As...

The one thing that has always struck me as a glaring inconsistency is the difference between how unarmed combat damage increases by die type for a monk, but weapon specialization adds a +2 bonus to damage for fighters. I'd prefer that the extraordinary fighting prowess of unarmed monks and of...

What I wonder is, if the chromatic, chrystaline, and metallic dragons are specialized subtypes, then what would the ancestral stock they derived from be like, the primordial undifferentiated common stock? I imagine that you could come up with a basic archetype, a single race that once gave rise...

Re: Re: Re: Practitioner of The Hala (Commando Unarmed Combat) Hi again, Ace. It's my day off, so time for more comments: 4. I'm not saying that it's not possible to preserve the Hala Practitioner as a 5-level PrC, but if you do, I think you will have to cut back on the special abilities...

Re: Re: Re: Practitioner of The Hala (Commando Unarmed Combat) Hey Ace. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you (I'm not online all that often.) Here are my reactions to your responses to my suggestions. 1. Characters should be a minimum of 5th level to gain levels in the PrC, and that...

***BUMP!!!*** I don't have anything substantive to add... but this thread deserves to last a while!

Re: Re: Re: sneak Now that you mention it, I do seem to recall something along those lines, with the shuriken as the example. And I don't mind standing corrected--- its an interesting clarification! One question, though: Where can the ruling be found?
