    I need a little tactical advice, as a DM

    Beholders and, as Dandu suggested, Golems. I like the "300" idea. Forces them to use up a large number of blaster charges to keep up with the hordes.

    D&D 3.x [v.3.5] Polymorph

    Greenfield You said "I disagree that either one is better than Fly, for flying." I was just showing you how you were wrong, so you had a better understanding. I'm not sure Fly should be moved from lv3. Like Fireball, Lightning Bolt, and Haste, Fly has this iconic place at lv3 that should be a...

    D&D 3.x [v.3.5] Polymorph

    Greenfield Of course I have them make Spellcraft checks, pay for spells (when researching or copying from other wizards), pay for books, and factor encumbrance. For flying, you can Polymorph into different Ecto Fragments (usually 60' Perfect), Silthilar (40' Perfect), Will-o-Wisps (50'...

    Vampire vs Farmhouse & Grey Render

    Dominating the man-of-the-house allows him to invite himself in. He could have done this days ago, but refrained from giving him orders until the time was right, or used it to remove mirrors, garlic, or holy symbols from the house. He can use his Animal Companion (a bat, dire bat, or dire rat...

    Fhalyassa I noted in that post that I didn't have access to Dragon 355.

    Character Help

    I can help you with classes. You're looking for a Duskblade if you want to cast Arcane spells in melee combat (channel through your sword), couple that with Wizard to grab a large list of spells to draw from and you have a great "glass cannon" style gish. As far as PrC's go, you'll probably end...

    D&D 3.x [v.3.5] Polymorph

    See: "maneuverability". Alter Self allows for burrowing and climbing, so dealing with shafts/narrow/cramped areas is still within the constraints of the spell, making it more versatile as a whole. Consider the reasons a Wizard is better than Fighter. The more versatile you are, the more...

    D&D 3.x [v.3.5] Polymorph

    Greenfield Not confusing anything here. Fly is inferior in any environment except when you need to out maneuver an opponent. Raptorans have no penalty when flying with a load or wearing armor, which makes them at least equivalent the majority of the time (so long as your DM is using weight...

    60', or 40' while wearing medium or heavy armor or carrying a medium or heavy load, with Good maneuverability, and 1min/level time OR 40' with Average maneuverability regardless of load/armor and at 10min/level plus taking a maximum 1d6 falling damage regardless of distance or being...

    D&D 3.x [v.3.5] Polymorph

    I was just showing some other core forms are really good beyond 7HD, not arguing or trying to disprove anything you said. You mentioned that I only brought up 7HD creatures and said that creatures don't get much better, and you said that you were struggling to find useful forms for your party...

    D&D 3.x [v.3.5] Polymorph

    After level 7, as far as combat goes, you're looking at Umberhulks, Digesters, and Dire Lions at 8, Behir or Spirit Nagas at 9, Ropers at 10, Guardian Nagas (1d10 initial AND secondary con damage at DC19 Fort? YES PLEASE) and Chuuls at 11, and Young Red and Gold dragons at 13 and 14...

    Beast heart adept and natural bond

    Lets say that "yes", it does work. What benefit would you gain from it? Natural Bond has the following clause "This bonus can never make your effective druid level exceed your character level." The Beast Heart Adept monstrous companion goes off of your Beast Heart Adept level, not your combined...

    D&D 3.x [v.3.5] Polymorph

    Greenfield The sad thing is that Alter Self replaces Fly with a better version of Fly at a level lower than you get Fly, on top of being able to give you a variety of other interesting effects (burrow, swim speed, water breathing, tons of natural armor, etc). Replacing several spells (Fly, the...

    AD&D 2E Returning to 2e

    Deprived of the right to vote, or deprived of power or rights? What? Do you mean disillusionment (feeling disappointed as a result of the discovery that something is not as awesome as once [or initially] believed) or disenchantment (to be freed from false belief or illusions)? I'm actually...

    No, that is the errata'd version. Special Abilities :: d20srd.org You gain the STR, DEX, CON, size, extraordinary special attacks, movement modes (up to 120' flying or 60' nonflying), natural armor bonus, natural attacks, racial skill bonuses, and other gross physical qualities such as extra...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Seen a tank like this before?

    Turtlebuster Even if everyone in your group ends up having a higher AC than you do, any smart enemy is going to question whether it is worth attacking you at all, as you aren't contributing anything else to the field. "Is it worth taking a few rounds to take out the shieldmate (who deals...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Seen a tank like this before?

    Turtlebuster The enemy who plays intelligently will not consider "I get a -4 to hit these people", he will consider "I need a 30 to hit this guy and a 20 to hit these guys", "This guy doesn't deal any damage and has a lot of hit points, and these guys deal damage and have fewer hit points", or...
