Remember that dragons can generally see invisible. So from the dragon's POV, there's a 3'x5' shimmery rectangle hanging in mid-air, with arrows coming out of it. What a good target for a breath weapon! Especially since you're all so obligingly packed together on the other side... And once the...

One more set, then I've got to get some sleep. Ethereal Filker - sings fan-themed folksongs. Malt Mummy - animated corpse of a victim of the Dire Shake. Runhound - See Spot. See Spot run. Laughterstone Eviscerator - You'll bust a gut laughing. Droll - it kills you with its British sense...

You know, the Wine Horror could actually be playable. After all, if you can have an alchemical golem or a water elemental, a critter made of wine isn't so far fetched. It could shoot corks at you, have an inebriating slam attack, and if it grapples you, you're screwed. :D Anyway... Bonk...

Whee! These are fun! Quilt Blast - creates an explosion of down comforters. Bigby's Gasping Hand - tries to choke itself: despite having no neck, it still makes appropriate gagging sounds. Syph - an amorous fey that gives you a nasty disease. Walter Elemental - an embodiment of the essence...

Nicely done. Where did you get all the skeleton bits for the base?

Um, conjecture, mostly. So far I've only actually played one once, in a one-shot. I would LIKE to try out a greater range of levels, but simply haven't had the time.

Remember, too, that Gather Information is not Detect Thoughts or even Detect Truth. A successful roll will get you "the word on the street", a good roll should at most point you towards a particular clue or NPC. GI will tell you "Councilman Y has taken a new lover" - it WON'T tell you she's a...

Actually, it first shows up at 9th level, once/day for up to 1 minute. At higher levels it becomes 2x, and eventually 3x, per day. Spirit Shaman is a "base" class (20 levels) so there are no prereqs. However their spellcasting tends to be somewhat weaker than a wizard or cleric. Like the monk...

Time to break out the rules for Undead Swarms...

I would say no, not unless the drained levels have become permanent. Say a 10th lvl human PC gets hit by a vampire and drained 2 levels. He's still a 10th-level character, he just has two "negative levels" stacked on him. If he fails both saves after the 24 hours are up, then he's an 8th-level...

Personally, I like the facial expression of the center goblin on the cover. "Help! I'm falling off my wolf! (And I can't get up!)"

I may have posted these in another thread (too many forums, not enough memory cells) but here goes: Cthulhu-esque game set in 1940's. The party is chasing a shapeshifting BBEG and suspect it may be hiding among a herd of cows. Problem is how to examine the cows without running afoul of the...

r.e. "Toughness blech" - I seem to recall that Improved Toughness (+1 hp/hit die) counts as Toughness for prerequisite purposes. Can anyone confirm this? Other fun feats: Kiai Shout ("TIIMMBEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!") Axespike (get your DM to agree you can use your climbing bootspikes instead of...

Spell-wise, there are a number of good spells that are either available only to bards, or that bards get early. Tasha's Hideous Laughter can be highly effective - I'd take that and Inspirational Boost as your 1st-level spells. You get 5 cantrips - and your choices include two bard-exclusive...

I think the basic problem here is that the AoO "trumps" the triggering action (is resolved first). So if I provoke an AoO from you by trying to drink a potion, you could use the AoO to prevent me (by Sundering or Disarming the potion bottle, for instance). If AoO was triggered by entering a...

Is it just me, or does AC 7 seem a bit low? Why is it significantly easier to hit the (Tiny or smaller) wand in the wizard's hand than to hit the wizard himself (a significantly larger target)? Essentially it's a called shot to the hand, which should be harder than just swinging at the torso...

I have a Russian Army surplus officer's cape which, apart from the length and material, is much like the oilskin cloak described above - stormflapped arm slits and all. It's waist-length, solid wool (and heavy - 6-7 pounds!), meant to be worn over the top of a greatcoat in especially bad...

I agree you should go with your strengths and take an archery feat of some sort. While Precise Shot removes the -4 for firing into melee, if your friend is between you and the target (e.g., you're firing from the 2nd rank) the target gets cover as well (+4 to AC). The Sharpshooting feat halves...

A better way: Put your black-and-white artwork on the TOP layer, and set the combine mode to "Multiply". In Multiply mode, white=100% and black=0%. So, in the white areas you will see 100% of what's underneath (transparent), and the black lines will show 0% of what's underneath (= black)...

Replaces it's normal racial skill points, that is. So a centaur with Int 16 would normally get (2+3)*(4+3)=35 racial skill points; a half-celestial centaur would get 77 racial skill points as per your formula (not 35+77). Since her racial "class" skills are Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and...
