    D&D 3.x 3.5 Succubus Lichfiend Cr Madness

    Umm, succubi have the Evil subtype and as such they are treated as evil-aligned regardless of their actual alignment. So they cannot become paladins. Unless you're using the Paladin of Slaughter variant from Unearthed Arcana, I guess, but those have some different class features from a...

    Castlevania

    YAAAYYY LEGOS! :D Yes, build your giant castle-dungeon out of Legos and then point to that when the players show up for the first session. Point to the minifig at the base of the castle and say "That is you. This is the castle you're storming," and laugh maniacally as they gaze upon the...

    pneumatik's WotBS 3: Shelter from the Storm

    Liiros Tivaniel, male high elf crusader "Yes......a restful night at a proper inn would be good for all of us. This swamp-trek was only slightly more pleasant than the cold mountain-trek out of Gate Pass. Let us find some comfort and merriment in the taverns here before we finish our business...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini The Geminis now focus on the G'rok that closed with Siren, blasting that G'rok with mental and fiery attacks. Silently, Gemini broods over how inaccurate and ineffective these powers are turning out..... He needs to find better ones to mimic, or push his own power towards greater...

    Vest of Resistance - am I crazy?

    Hey, there are tradeoffs to be made sometimes. And it's not like I'm against custom magic items in general. I wouldn't ban something like a gauntlet or bracer that enhanced unarmed strikes instead of the Amulet of Mighty Fists, for example, because those other slots make more sense. A Vest of...

    Vest of Resistance - am I crazy?

    Yes the Vest of Resistance was in the 3.0 D&D supplement Tome & Blood. Identical to a Cloak of Resistance in all but name and slot. And I prefer having magic items with specific slots based on their effect, to reduce powergaming on item slots to get all the best or most directly-useful bonuses...

    Tiny Creatures

    Yeah, the weight of the bag and its specific dimensions were the basis for my answer. Of course a smaller Bag of Holding with lower weight and capacity should also be cheaper. Just didn't think of price when answering. But then, not being able to carry as much loot is just part of playing a...

    Fixing mundane classes - a disciplined approach?

    Depends on if you're still using magical monsters and such (breath weapons, regeneration, energy drain, energy resistances, spell-like abilities, improved grab, swallow whole, damage reduction, etc.). If so (and assuming little or no magic weapons, potions, etc.)...... Penetrating Strike (Ex)...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini Gemini grumbles for a moment at seeing his mimicked spells having no effect, so he tries a different, seeing the Sorceress manage to burn one herself. So he invokes a Fire Bolt of his own, which streaks off towards the G'rok near Brick.......but his aim is a bit off as he has to avoid...

    Tiny Creatures

    The magic item basics in the DMG and SRD include this bit: The rules largely just gloss over magic item sizes, especially for anything other than armor, weapons, and clothing or jewelry. Given the peculiarities of a Bag of Holding's weight and how that relates to its internal volume/weight...

    Archery Full Round Attack

    .............But to do so at 1st-level, the axe-thrower would need to throw 2 separate axes, one with each hand, as a full-round action. An archer cannot physically hold and load and fire two bows simultaneously nor within a second or two of one another (short of using the Quick Draw feat and...

    Government in D&D.

    Huh? When Ozrogarth the Obliterator enters the country, you don't have to intervene when he obliterates some peasant that offended him. But you can if you have your own archmage around to intervene for you. As long as Ozrogarth the Obliterator moves on once he's done with his business in the...

    Government in D&D.

    I reject your realitydefinition, and substitute my own! :D Government is some people deciding to make some laws and then trying to enforce them, whether for the greater good or for personal reasons or personal gain. Government doesn't necessarily have to be militarily overpowering. Just...

    Archery Full Round Attack

    It's called the Rapid Shot feat as many of us have already pointed out. Also, your argument seems to hinge on merely the time factor, which would also imply that a swordsman should be able to swing his sword twice in one round even if he's a green recruit who barely knows how to use a sword...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Yeah, I just figured that it looked like the DM was moving on and had the G'roks advance closer, breaking free of Sorceress' entangling ice, so I figured I should post my next turn's action since nobody else had posted for a few days, and some hadn't posted for about a week. Still not sure when...

    Archery Full Round Attack

    But why are you insisting on two-weapon fighting rules applying here, or as some kind of precedent? An archer holds his bow with one hand and loads/fires with the other. They're not attacking simultaneously or in quick succession with both hands, like someone wielding a pair of daggers or...

    Swordsage Hand of Death Duration

    That's up to the DM's judgment, as the rules don't say anything about it. I would personally say that you lose the maneuver if you no longer meet its prerequisites, like when you cease meeting the prerequisites for a feat or prestige class and thereby lose its benefits. At least that's the...

    Archery Full Round Attack

    Yes, a reasonably well-trained archer could. But a green recruit (i.e. 1st-level or the like) who only barely knows how to use a bow properly is going to be relatively slow at loading, pulling, aiming, and firing the bow (especially if the target is moving, which any creature not immobilized...

    "You may proceed with your inspection, but we carry only our own weapons and supplies, besides a few spoils of battle that we have yet to sell in town," Liiros replies.

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini Gemini keeps chanting, now invoking the Glacial Spike spell that he mimicked off of the Sorceress......he just hopes it'll freeze the G'rok that his duplicate failed to stop. Gemini's 'brother' focuses again and tries to unleash another Mental Blast on the same G'rok, then moves just in...
