I looked up FR domains, and the spider climb spell is in the "Spider" domain. However, I could find no domain which listed the web spell as a domain. That said, Lolth should be able to grant an acolyte the clerical equivalent of a web spell, if sufficiently motivated or succoured. - Devon

Hi, Gish, I think this is a great construct. I would suggest adding "fly" as one of its component spells. I made up these two abilities to supplement Alejandro Melchor's "Encyclopedia Arcane: Constructs" book (key phrases from which I noticed in your construct's description). Giving it a...

What a pretty concept. I like it. - Devon

If we're talking "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Vengeance Demons, then the mythology would support it being used as either a template (or, less likely, a prestige class). The main thing would be to figure out the nature of their "wish fulfillment." Such demons tend to have been at least...

This sounds like it could also be made into a planar hazard (like the Astral wossname, with the one eye, big teeth, y'know, Wossname). Random planar destinations as it wanders around, picking up strange creatures (tieflings, bariaur, et al.) and depositing them in the unlikeliest of places...

For CR, I would place it at 7 or 8. As for construction costs and level requirements, I could try to plug it into Mongoose's "Constructs" formula to see what the DCs would be. - Devon

domain spells It's possible that "web" and "spider climb " are domain spells for a domain to which Lolth's acolytes would have access. I don't have my FR books on me at the moment, and so cannot look up "Arachnid," "Spider" or "Drow" domains. - Devon

Nice template, Erica. I like it, and the petrification ability will cause much surprise for the first party which fights one. My only comment (and it's almost pedantic) is that the Mineralization ability (hardness 8) could be reclassified as Damage Resistance 8/--, in order to maintain the...

Definitely a creative attack. So let me see if I understand it: the weight gain is permanent, but the Strength drain is temporary (reflecting the victim learning to carry its new weight) -- do I have it right? Or was there a permanent/temporary switch somewhere in there? Or, did you mean...

Hi, folks, My apologies for a prolonged absence from this forum -- many things have been afoot lately (I just got engaged). I was able to pull this critter out of my imagination, though, so while I check out everyone else's recent creations, I'd love your input on this new creature. Thank...

AH, true Wow... I had completely misunderstood that entry in the rules FAQ. Not as clever as I had thought, eh? Thanks for catching that. I should revise it to "Armor stacks with shield, And dodge, and circumstance; no Other bonus stacks" But I don't like it as much. I want my submission...

Here is my haiku for submission: "Can my first-level Psion take teleport? No? Damn third edition!" Here are some other ones, for giggles: Unconscious player! Don't tell your friends what to do -- Your voice has been stilled. Yay! Third edition! Those AD&D munchkins Need time to catch up...

I think "local" may simply be misleading. When you have a local anaesthetic, it works only on the immediate area to which it has been applied. This toxin has the capacity to cause overall paralysis, which isn't very localized. We should probably use "contact poison" instead. - Devon

Looks good. Just some minor proofing comments: The range on blindsight is unspecified. The breakdown of initiative bonuses is not detailed. could be phrased "a form of local poison", but most likely, we should replace "local" with "contact" to make it more clear. - Devon

I looked up Scent on the SRD, for an example, and it only mentions Wilderness Lore checks, although it specifies that hiding is basically irrelevant - the creature need only take a standard to determine the direction of a given target. I looked up Blindsight, and it says nothing about skill...

bump, if't please you

My opinions would be: 15' reach should be plenty -- extended reach seems to be the creature's idiom. I agree that swim skill would be irrelevant, as would Search. Put the points into Spot. Blindsight should be about 60'. I think the more common vulnerability mechanic (double dmg exc on a...

There has been a related thread on the web spell here: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19335 It might be of some use in our discussion. - Devon

targeting a flying creature In a recent game, a character tried the "anchor flying creature to ground with Web spell" trick. It was flying about 20 ' off the ground at the time, and was of Poor maneuverability rating. I ruled (and I admit this was just my ruling) that he had to target the...

a related web question I think the equation offered before works fine -- it should be more than enough for a basic, temporary bridge, but not at all enough to stop a landslide. It could easily, if used properly, stop someone who is rolling down an incline, but I would have to rule that it...
