Fanatic does not automatically mean lawful. To me, V is definitely Chaotic Neutral - "so much it hurts", as a previous poster said. His whole schtick is "one man against the system", 'make your own decisions instead of letting Authority run everything for you". He's definitely not Good - he...

A) Agreed, summon spells are generally impractical for anything other than combat. However, there are some other spells (such as beget bogun) which are intended to create long-term helpers. B) I don't follow your logic here. If the field was profitable before the spell, it will be more...

One thing I see in the manor (and it's a common problem in maps created by folks used to modern plumbing) is that you have rooms and passages on the first floor directly underneath garderobes on the second floor. The medieval garderobe is basically a pit toilet: it extends into the spaces...

I wouldn't allow it, simply because it can be too easily abused. It effectively removes the "natural terrain" limitation altogether. Party is in a city? Hey, I'll just hover a few inches off the ground, and presto, I can hide!

D20 Future does indeed list the race as LA +0. However, technophobic is a pretty serious disadvantage in a Future setting. The D&D equivalent would be to have them unable/unwiling to use any form of magic. Plus they have basically a Stone Age civilization, so no metal weapons in your starting...

OK, I have to agree - this IS the funniest story hour I've read around here. More, please! What is a "Shirac"? Pseudonatural muppets ... "Hi ho, Kermit the Slaad here..." But what would you do for Gonzo? He's already pseudonatural... The Hannikum saints seem a (literally) blood-thirsty...

Cleric changing deities: Players Handbook II, p193 sidebar, Divine Conversion: "A cleric who changes his patron deity must complete a quest to prove his devotion to his new patron. The nature of the quest depends on the deity, and it always clearly reflects the deity's alignment as well as his...

Don't forget Magic:the Gathering land cards. Every set has four different pics each of five land types (Mountain, Forest, Plains, Swamp, Islands), and with, what, 18-20 or so sets now? times 20 pics per set, that's 400 landscapes for you, not counting the "special" lands. The pictures are...

Of course, then you get into weird stuff with monks. Are the monk's hands and feet now brilliant energy*? Since brilliant energy ignores non-living matter, does that mean the monk now sinks up to his ankles in the ground, and cannot pick up objects? :cool: *- not to mention his elbows...

Several spots in Jerzek's statblock refer to him as "she" - presumably an earlier version was female? Similarly Helgen and Jordan are listed as male in some spots, female in others. This is a *REALLY* psionic-heavy adventure, it seems designed for an all-psionic party and supposes a very...

Cf elemental stoves and animated castles, check out the movie Howl's Moving Castle - some nice yoinkable stuff there.

Really? You think the primary reason for putting this item in the DMG was to allow PCs to find invisible opponents? Gee, I thought it was supposed to allow a non-spellcaster to deliver a quick, long-distance message. Otherwise, wouldn't the text say something like "the bird unerringly seeks...

Price is necessary because the rules for crafting items (both magical and non-magical) use the GP value of the item to determine xp cost and time to craft. DMG gives price for a DC11 sleep arrow +1 as 132 gp: -7gp for the masterwork arrow leaves 125 gp magic cost: -40 for the +1 leaves 85 as...

Of course, we could take the radical step of referring to the real world. Personally, I find it quite difficult to hold my breath for more than a minute (10 rounds). Around 50 sec (8 rounds) I start having to make saves. Now, I admit that my CON is not the best, but neither am I bedridden. CON...

BWAHHAHAHAHA! OK, that one made my day. Actually, I believe the original Appalachian legend calls them "gardinels". Not a shapeshifting mimic, but a plant/fungus more akin to a pitcher plant. You walk in the door of the "house", the "floor" drops out from under you, and you're in a...

Yes, the RAW assumes that the lead climber is basically creating a "ladder" of pitons for the less-skilled party members to climb. Note that the use of nuts and cams is not just eco-friendliness; they can be inserted into cracks and holes where using a piton would be difficult to impossible...

Nah, you just take your standardized coin press, and stamp out a bunch of identical wax masters. Hook 'em together with sprues, cast the lot, and cut 'em apart afterwards. Just like casting minis.

First off, ignore the Savage Species anthro-stats, as they're a really bad adaptation IMO. Start by taking a look at the actual animal. Foxes are small, slender, agile animals that are nocturnal hunters. So, probably a penalty to STR and/or CON, and a bonus to DEX, and low-light vision. (As a...

The penalties to spellcasting and skills are an attempt to reflect how hard it is to move around in the armor. This is partially due to the weight but also to the stiffness, especially in the case of leather armor. Mithral-studded leather might be slightly lighter by a pound or so, but the...

The only other sympathetic spider-character I can recall offhand was in an old shared-world series called The Dungeon, where the characters are essentially trying to survive/explore/escape from a multi-planar labyrinth. One of the party was a female spider-creature called "Shriek", whom I liked...
