The "Fastball Special" derives its utility from the fact that Colossus is MUCH stronger than Wolverine. Thus, A) C can throw W significantly farther than W can jump - especially useful against airborne foes, as W can't fly. B) When thrown, W impacts the target harder than if he jumped -...

Actually, I just flipped through that book, and while it gives a page or so of fluff on how centaurs fit into Faerun, there are no new feats or rules for adapting mounted feats for centaurs.

Actually, what the Draconomicon says is "...works as the Snatch feat, except you can grab an opponent two or more sizes smaller than you...". It doesn't define "grab" - does it mean you can't grapple a "too large" creature at all, or just that you don't get the auto-damage? IMO it's the...

Well, here's my take: Can you see the Symbol before you set it off? Why yes, yes you can. IF you make your DC 33 Search check. And no, you can't take 20 when searching for traps, because there's a "consequence for failure". Say you've got a tiled hallway and you suspect some of the tiles...

Like the "puppy pile flophouse" idea. These would probably be only used by the extremely poor ( i.e. nothing worth stealing) unless there's some sort of "coat check"/locker service. The party see a sibeccai posting a notice on a bulletin board - but first he sticks it down his pants and rubs...

I suspect it's because elves are generally portrayed as tall, slender, good-looking, and long-haired - i.e., looking a lot like manga bishonen pretty-boys.

Well, let's take a look at some stats then. Base ogre has a STR of 21, spellwarped template adds +4 for a total of 25. ForceUser seems to have rounded this up to 26 - a valid tweak, but it does give the ogres a +1 to hit compared to the "standard vanilla" ogre. With the spellwarped template...

My groups have generally been in their 30s or so, and not afraid of sexuality (though actual character copulation has remained off-screen). I'm bi, and so is Stormrunner. Stormy's preferences have impacted the plot a few times (such as when she seduced a mermaid who had been intended as a...

So the wizard casts Anti-Magic Field in midair, then flies above it with his sack of special coins... You cast 47 tons, and whadda you get? A really big coin and a really big dent Saint Monty don't you Haul me cuz I don't know If anything is left under the Iron Snow.... :lol:

One thing I was somewhat disappointed about in Nyambe was the near-complete lack of gnolls. I mean, Hello: Africa? Hyenas? I was expecting more on gnoll society (maybe even a non-Yeenoghu-worshipping one), perhaps a Lost Gnoll Civilization, etc. Instead we get yet another variatin on orcs...

To the tune of "Camptown Races" (and no, this isn't mine): Who's that elder God we fear? Cthulhu! Cthulhu! Who sleeps on from year to year? Cthulhu is his name. Gonna chant all night, Gonna chant all day, Till he rises from the ocean floor, Then we'll run away!

I've always found it kind of odd. IMC, I houserule that Monstrous Humanoids have low-light vision, not darkvision. Makes more sense to me, since animals have low-light vision and Monstrous Humanoids are described as "humanoids with animal-like characteristics".

Ragamoffyns (MM2). Animated clothing that enwraps and dominates creatures = Halloween costumes. Fihyrs - literally fear given form.

Yeah, we make it the same as Daylight (10 min/level). Why the writers pegged it at 1 day/level, longer than practically any other spell, I don't know.

OK, my 0.02 here, as someone who played GURPS 3e for 15+ years (only reason I'm not playing now is lack of a group) AND owns most of the WotC d20 books except for the setting-specific FR and Eberron stuff. GURPS tries to be "universal", but I suspect that's something that may not be possible...

Unseen imaginary DECEASED turtles - and they only force you to parry for the next 2 rounds. Personally I've always preferred: Worst move anyone has sen in ages. 50% chance you are out 2 days with a pulled groin. 50% chance opponent out 3 rounds laughing. I always rolled the 2 50% chances...

You want to avoid anything that will make fingers sticky/greasy, or else be resigned to buying new books frequently. Cheetos are right out! (For non-American readers, they are corn puffs covered with bright orange cheese powder, which dyes your fingertips and gets all over everything.) Potato...

My on-the-fly rulings: If the invisible mount doesn't attack, and doesn't aid your attack (e.g. by charging) it stays invisible. Your mount is generally one size step larger than you, which is roughly twice the size. So I'd say a 2 in 6 chance to hit the rider, and a 4 in 6 chance to hit the...

I houserule them both. IMC, Darkness decreases the light level to shadowy (none of this stupid rules-lawyer "Darkness makes it lighter" crap) and Deeper Darkness produces total black. Third-level spells include things like Fly and Fireball, which can majorly impact how combat is conducted, so...

Oooh, good question. I'd have to rule on a case-by-case basis. (Which PrCs were you thinking of, BTW?) If the PrC focuses on sneak attack, and adding special abilities to sneak attack (like the Crippling Blow feat), then I'd say yes. If it's more of a stealth-focused PrC (ninja, etc.) and...
