Hi, folks, I am using an Examiner (beholderkin) in my game, and want to know how I should run the spell turning ray it has. So, Spell Turning is normally something you have activated. How does this work as a ray? - Devon

So, no one noticed the +10 error in its melee attack bonus? ;) Took me a week. - Devon

Hi, folks, I have a situation in my game in which the players have been sleep-gassed, swallowed by a brass behir, and left in its belly. Because this was a design feature in the construct, I described one of those expanding iris-type openings leading out of the "stomach," and so one of the...

Well, WotC made a precedent which may support this sort of thing. In their Fight Club forum, one of their writers applied the Half-dragon template to a Dragonkin (a Monstrous Humanoid from MoF), and then followed up by making it a Dracolich (since it would have the "dragon" type. So, yeah...

I understand your concerns. I simply took what I (incompletely) recalled from the Tome and Blood writeup of a Hedgehog, which I provide here, somewhat condensed: So I gave it a better AC bonus, and made it a partial action as opposed to a standard action, but the saves were originally across...

Hey, It sounds like a nasty critter... visually, it seems pretty frightful. My comments are mostly nitpicky numerical things at the moment: These to hit bonuses are slightly off... the primary attack should be +15 (1/2 HD for undead = 5, +10 for a 30 Str), and without any multiattack feat...

I checked out the updated version, and with the format, it's still unclear how many spell-like abilities they get, or how they are chosen. Not having line breaks in the Special Attacks section doesn't help, although punctuation could be used to separate the sections. In the description it says...

I was wondering about that... :) No worries... you may leave it up. Saves me typing it in! - Devon

I thought I was using the same system, but I come up with a 5. I must be missing something. Erica or Gish, do you mind checking my math? ((hp/4.5) +1 or +2 for each special ability)/3 Are you interpreting the Psion ability as more than +1 or +2? - Devon

question re: the half-fey template Hey, Blacksway, On your website, the half-fey template appears to have not come through well: It appears there is a characte limit to that field or something. I would suggest you write "See below" for the Special attacks/qualities, and then go into more...

Yay! Thanks, Blacksway -- it worked. I posted the Thanolisk. It turns out I still had a bit of fine-tuning left to do with that one. Maybe I should go back and revisit more of my early attempts at 3e monster creation. - Devon

That sounds nice, but I think that would be a whole different (pardon the pun) can of worms. :D Maybe something evil and German-sounding, like Ursinacht. - Devon [I should really start spellchecking these posts]

I tried to input a new critter, and I can't get the pull-down menus for Type and Size to work. I'm on Netscape 4.08, if that helps. Otherwise, it looks great! - Devon

Welcome, Levi2000, Monsters: you post'em, we'll look at'em! The midget bug sounds similar to a critter I worked on awhile back--the Clicker. I can't imagine what a Cannon Fodder template would be like, but we will see. Can't wait to see them, - Devon

The secondary attacks (the bite) should get half the Str bonus (in this case, 1 pt). If you're worried about doing too much damage, change it to 1d6+1. Also, see my comments above, which I was writing when you made your last post. :) - Devon

thank you Thank you, Krishnath. Anyone else have comments or suggestions? Should this thing have more assassin-like abilities, or is it nasty enough as it is? I'm just uncertain how to make demons and devils, especially their spell-like abilities. I also haven't figured out what other...

I concur with ragnarok's suggestions, and have a few of my own to add, if I may: I'd suggest phrasing this as: Psionics (Su): At will: Chameleon, Dismissal, Highness sense, Immovability; 3/day: Ectoplasmatic Form; 2/day: Shadow Body. Treat all powers as having been cast by a psion of 4th...

I am adding a gaming section to my website, and I plan to post my creatures there, which would include the constructs. It'll take a short while (perhaps a week) before I've finished. Yes, the price I pay for not bringing my game books to work with me. :) Perhaps. Constructs aren't, as I...

So, Liquide, Have you more fully developed the Ulgan Beast? How was our input? Or are you waiting for someone to generate the stats too? :D - Devon

how can constructs fly... Well, there's already precedent to support the Skullwing: the bonebat (Monsters of Faerun) is an undead bat, usually a familiar for necromancers. It flies, even without membraneous wings. As far as the hawksaw, I was thinking of Modrons when I built it, and they can...
