    Adamantine and Incorporeal monsters

    Thought provoking question. By the rules, they can't with their melee attacks. Their natural weapons aren't considered magic weapons (anymore than adamantine weapons are considered magic), so they'd have to resort to breath weapons. Either that, or they could grab a magic weapon out of their...

    Multiclassed Druids

    I think you're SOL. Just use a sling or chuck daggers if you need a ranged weapon.

    +2 or +1 and Keen Rapier at 8th lvl?

    I personally prefer +'s to my weapons as opposed to special effects. I really hate worrying about whether or not my silly +1 Flaming weapon will be effective in the next encounter or not.

    ELH: Any limits to the Heal spell?

    The Spell Resistance is using the general rules for Spell Resistance in the DMG, 10,000gp for SR 13, +10,000gp for SR 14, etc. And yes, the same people who say Harm is overpowered would probably agree that Heal is overpowered.

    How many orcs to defeat a fighter type?

    With Great Cleave and Combat Reflexes, you're grappling orcs are dead meat. Not to mention that the fighter is extraordinarily better at grappling than the orcs. Think of it this way: 8 orcs can get around him (less if the fighter has his back to something), and thus take shots at him. Seven...

    So this is what? Take 4? Or is it 5 now...

    What's Up With The Monk?

    Without a good strength score, you'll end up doing maybe 1d20+5 damage a hit, which isn't that good at level 20. Compared to a fighter's possible 3d6+16, your damage sucks. This is where stat dependancy comes in. After giving your highest stats to Wis and Dex (and possibly Str), your Con...

    [art, hosted] DnD Iconics gallery! Today: Alhandra!

    Even with the breastplate underneath, the scale mail breast protector (for lack of a better term...) seems silly. Still, it is better than any official art of her (Hi! My right leg has two knees!).

    What is YOUR level??

    Level 1 Commoner AL: LG/LN Str 6 Dex 12 (upper body)/6 (lower body) Con 12 Int 14 Wis 4 Cha 11 Skills: Those are all roughly. I don't get sick much, and cold doesn't bother me much. I think I'm fairly intelligent (doesn't everyone?), as I get straight A's and am taking all...

    Item cost quandry: Dragon's Breath Amulet

    That'd be strange, seeing as how dragons can already use their breath weapon an unlimited times per day.

    Maximized Dispel Magic

    Maximize doesn't help against opposed checks, so that's why it doesn't do anything with Dispel Magic.

    rant on level drain (not too long)

    And then there's hte issue of if you get level drained, you still lose a LOT of experience, even if you save. I'm thinking of changing it so that instead of actually losing levels, you gain an experience debt, which must be made up before you actually gain experience. Not only do I hate how...

    What's Up With The Monk?

    I'm just pointing out minor mistakes :) Likes this one: Longspears aren't simple weapons :) In order for a monk to be effective, they HAVE to do more than fight. Monks just aren't (and never will be) on par with paladins, fighters, rangers, or barbarians at fighting. Therefore, in order...

    What's Up With The Monk?

    Using max at first, then 4.5 a level (average on a d8). you'd end up with 58. Minor difference though. Errata'd to 6,000gp. Again, minor stuff. Those don't stack.

    Two hander style gets the axe shaft!

    Wish to show us your math on how you concluded that Two Weapon Fighting is superior to two handed weapon style? I just don't see it...

    Telling Time

    It's strange, because a lot of fantasy books have the people knowing exactly what time it is. Look at Lord of the Rings, for example, they have people who know exactly when 8 o'clock is. I always wondered how the guards knew it was 7:30 and not 8 o'clock...

    What's Up With The Monk?

    My party will likely agree with you. Their opinion is that as a monk is a front line fighter, they have: 1. Bad attack bonus. 2. Bad damage. 3. Bad AC (Unless you have lots of magic) 4. Bad hit points. 5. Are VERY stat dependant. At higher levels their abilities kind of ease the pain, but at...

    Meditating elves and rolling to wake up

    I just play it just like sleeping. All listen checks are as if "taking 0", meaning that if you have a positive listen score, and a fight breaks out in your room, you wake up. Likewise, any loud sound would awaken the elf, just like it would a human. But that's just how I play it, I'm not...

    Lantern Archon .. doubt and opinions...

    If you are using Summon Monster to get Lantern Archons, then the continual flames disappear as soon as the spell ends. If you summon them (as in, Conjuration (Calling) spells, then the spell lasts). I'll get a page quote in a second...
