    Is 3.x Your Favorite Version of D&D?

    So far.

    Jubilex weaker than a Balor?

    Ooh, good point. Foolish players trying to do this sort of thing is *always* good for a wild game.

    The Second page: where threads go to die? (poll)

    I never go to page 2 unless I'm looking for something specific, and then it's usually in the rules forum. In fact, I very seldom go to the *1st* page. I'll check out the "latest forum topics" from the main page at least once a day, and subscribe to threads that are interesting to me. Edit: I...

    Anyone else trying to buy special mini?

    Well, as I noted, I'm only going to do it if I pull a regular one. The reason? I want a riderless huge black dragon. The other reason? It's a challenge. I don't think I'll ruin the dragon (I'm a fair to good modeller), although if it's one piece I'll probably ruin most of the rider.

    Anyone else trying to buy special mini?

    Not if you clearly and plainly note that in the auction itself. To be safe, I wouldn't put it up until you got confirmation that it was in the mail. Well, I wouldn't put it up at all, but I have a specific use for it. Question for Erik: is this a one-piece fig, or is it possible to pull the...

    Half-fiend planetouched

    As it stands it's the easiest way to represent half-breed dragons. I've used a maroon dragon (black with half-red template) and a patina dragon (green w/half-copper). Fun stuff, but I recommend toning down or ignoring the +8 Str altogether. I haven't had the nerve to spring a pink dragon (red...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    No thanks. I've got a pretty good idea where it would go (in circles).

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Read the spell. The second she loses line of effect to the image, even momentarily, it's gone. She doesn't have the invisibility she needs to take full advantage of the ability. But that's beside the point... You may have to read for comprehension. Project Image is "intangible". What else is...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Since when is 50 greater than 60? He can cast fly, and they can't dispel it. I really can't see unintelligent solitary constructs using pack tactics anyway. Try again? You can't detect intangibles with blindsight. Project Image creates an intangible image. One of the few weaknesses of...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Err, 10% of his hit points every four rounds doesn't seem like that much, especially when he's getting off two free blasts of slime for each cycle in addition to his slams. He's immune to the other two rays, and each ray can only be used once every 4 rounds. Meanwhile, their melee attacks are...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Overall good analysis... for some reason I just blanked out on the fire storm, which does give the Balor an impressive "opening move". Big J has a fair chance of stopping implosion by readying to counterspell, but that assumes Juiblex has initiative and is willing to forego dispelling summons...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Juiblex is up at WotC: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/iw/20060601b&page=1 Edit: and it looks like a CR20 Balor can't even damage "him". More correctly, it looks like a fight between Juiblex and nearly any powerful demon would be a stalemate.

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Great first post! Let me guess... DiceFreak? This, to me, is the damage Planescape did to the D&D game. A cosmos full of hostile forces the PCs can never hope to assail. I love me some Lovecraft, but man, that style gets depressing in a game about beating monsters and taking stuff.

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    Erm, that's not what CR is for. CR is for determining xp awards of individual critters. Depends on what the stats look like. He's worth a lot of xp, that's for sure. With characters of level 18-19, there's no telling what can happen, even when the by-the-book EL starts pushing 30. For a capped...

    Dice Questions?

    Every few months I pop onto a thread like this, mention wooden dice, and everyone says, "yeah, that'd be neat, never seen 'em," and life goes on. I need some springy pine dice! My pine d6's are the luckiest dice I've ever owned! Unfortunately, I"m as like to cut off my fingers as get a...

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    Nice handwave. I believe it should be possible (but hard)... if a demon lord was ever stupid enough to get into a one-on-one fight with a balor on the PMP.

    Why the assumption that epic levels are purely optional?

    Ah, that's what it was. I just stopped thinking the last couple times our game got up around (and above) 20th level. No. I became aware that the amount of time spent on *one* combat was taking the place of what we spent on several RP encounters, shopping, BSing and running multiple lower-level...

    You're too close to it. Back off, or get a better light. I'm talking about the keyboard. Yep, that's it.

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    Hmmm, since we're talking about food (Mmmm, chunks of flaaaaavor) try this: Go to your kitchen and pick a handful/pinch/dollop/whatever of your favorite foods. Put them in a broth, and make some metasoup. What's that? Steak & Ice Cream Swiss Chocolate Waffle soup is terrible? That's metasoup for...
