http://d20npcs.wikia.com/wiki/D20_NPCs_by_Challenge_Rating There are lots of humanoids in CR 1-5, especially humans.

Is there any chance that the blurb about this on every page could be toned down a bit? It hurts my eyes to look at the top of EN World pages because the contrast between the site theme and the blurb's red-on-white is so great.

Fair. I'd like to see it playtested by 3-4 8th level parties, though. If CR 10 is a gross underestimate of the challenge this encounter provides - such that it causes TPKs to the playtesters, then the problem isn't the CR listed for the encounter - the problem is that I made too strong of a...

A standard action is a standard action. It's a questionable ability, but I didn't make it up. Fixed. I didn't keep the entire entry consistent between edits; he originally had a higher Hide modifier. 1. Still Spell is irrelevant. Do you mean Silent Spell? 2. That's why he starts casting...

Hmm...I'd like to see playtesting results before making further changes. If it ends up being nigh-impossible, I'll just drop the Sor levels, turning it into more of a speedbump encounter. Still, the ambush part will be fun.

IRT Raven Crowking: For Room 7 to work, the Choker needs some sort of noise to hear from Room 6 (to give him time to cast his buff spells). IRT der_kluge: I assumed that the Choker's Quickness included surprise rounds. If that's not generally accepted to be the case, I can edit the entry...

Hyp was correct; it's Unless I Am Mistaken As for kitbashing...some of that is fun/satisfying in its own right. Besides, a D&D game with a few houserules (but not TOO MANY houserules) is easier to find players for than, say, HARP or True20.

As a crunch or fluff thing?

I will occasionally get two emails for the same thread. Am I doing something wrong, or is this abnormal behavior for the forum software?

...and he's reluctantly compromising that, too (considering alliances with celestials).

Re: post 84: Delightfully nasty is right. I love how the younger one lurks in the water, waiting to ambush his victims. Would it be unfair to say that the Choker will use Ghost Sound (or Dancing Lights) to alert the dragons when he fights someone?

Um. "unless you're a dwarf." doesn't fit in there - dwarves never have their speed reduced by armor, UIAM.

Back in the early days of D&D (and rpgs in general), the only rules available were a loose, crappy set of guidelines that NEEDED a fair amount of kit-bashing to work for a lot of different people. There wasn't anything else available at the time, so people got used to kit-bashing. Plus...

Interesting take on it. In a 6-person party that already has an Archivist, Hexblade, Fighter, Rogue, and Bard, how much stronger is the party for having a Dragon Shaman along vs. having a Paladin or Cleric along?

*watches the tumbleweeds roll by* Anyone?

I weakened his tactics instead and added some notes about relatively easy ways the party could get him in melee. I also marked it as EL 10; if the choker grabs the arcane PC, that character's death is likely in 1-2 rounds. If, OTOH, he picks on the rogue, he'll have a harder time even hitting...

Room 2a: This description covers both of the rough stone hallways leading deeper into the cave from the shelf above the chasm. Eastern Tunnel: This passageway is between 10 and 15 feet tall from the point where the tunnel splits all the way to Room 6. There are holes in the ceiling leading...

Wow. I didn't realize that as I was creating the statblock. Should I perhaps drop a couple of the sorcerer levels?

Now that's what I'm talking about! Mom is away, so the PCs actually have a chance at surviving this deathtrap.

Oh, no! Min-maxing! Optimization! WrongBad Fun! ;)
