Hi, Boz, I think the mechanics appear to be much neater and easy to digest! - Devon

For "ballistic attack", one could simply convert "launch item" (FRCS I think) to a psionic power -- I think Monte Cook's supplements would have some ideas as to how that would be handled. It's a small help, mind you. - Devon

I think the mechanic we need to decide on is: is the Trip an attack (targeting a creature, which would happen on its own action) or a Hazard (making an area dangerous as long as it is in the area). Decide which it is, and the ability will hopefully fix itself. - Devon

I also agree that the Evil tag isn't necessarily warranted for this spell. "Science!" has no room for evil. Here are my suggestions: We have a series of spells starting at 4th level, up to 9th. Spell: We make the mechanics for the first spell simple enough so that the subsequent spells...

Excellent. I can't believe I missed that in the errata... So if I made a creature that had, say, a personal area-effect ability (like causing sleep), I could either call it an emanation (save every round) or include the "only once per" clause used in the troglodyte errata, depending on the...

I haven't discovered a Sage entry pertinent to this question, and my apologies if it has already been brought up in this forum. Some creatures have an area-effect ability, centered on themselves -- for example, the troglodyte's Stench ability. From the SRD: Should this ability be treated...

I just want to make sure I'm parsing the equation correctly: where x = spellcaster level + INT modifier lifespan (in hours) = ((x^5)/10) - 1680 - Devon

I think the duplication power is pretty scary. I would probably want some more restrictions placed on it -- as it is, it seems very cartoonish, and doesn't really fit into a "brick" idiom. The petrification ability is pretty creative, however, and I especially like the fact that it can be...

I'm afraid that sometimes, I'm almost useless without the book in front of me... :) Doesn't seem to keep me from posting, though. - Devon

I think the Tar'orcs are pretty nice, and I like the Er'orcs as an idea. I wonder if the Er'orcs should instead advance by hit dice instead of character class, since they are supposed to be almost completely barbaric. I don't know, I'm on the fence about that one. But that's an issue of...

A school for this spell... what are they calling Transmutation nowadays? That or Alteration. The clerical version could be Necromancy, I suppose... - Devon

Krishnath: were the Tar'orcs created as a hybrid? I'm noticing the (b) notation near feats now -- I suppose I should pick up MM2... - Devon

I would imagine that the spell would create but one creature per casting. Perhaps at higher levels, one can make several of the same hybrid, as long as they had enough of each component (5 bunnies + 5 halflings = 5 bunnlings!). Another factor to consider is whether or not the resulting...

oh, we never created the Create Hybrid spell. - Devon

Funny you should ask. I was writing this to supplement the "Soul Grabber," "Soul Tickler", etc. entries in the spoof MMIII which had been mentioned previously. The soul grabber was going to be a leech-like critter that stole souls by touch attack, applying this template to them. Such sould...

ANy comments at all? I'm thinking of making it change completely to Chaotic Evil instead. - Devon

More bookkeeping: As this is a Large critter, AC should be 19 (+20 natural, -1 size) Her primary attack (I'm assuming it is her bite) should be, as you have it: +13 melee (+8 BAB, -1 size, +5 Str, +1 Weapon focus). Her secondary attacks should be +10 (+8 BAB, -1 for size, -2 for secondary...

One bookkeeping comment: You should make sure to list all special attacks and special qualities in the appropriate entries of the first section. - Devon

I wrote a new template -- any comments? I imagine this territory has been covered before, but I don't recall seeing it anywhere on the boards (probably covered in the BoVD). - Devon Soulless (template) This template can be applied to any corporeal creature (hereinafter referred to as the...

My apologies for being unclear, Gish. I had intended to express that you were right to put in the "feather fall" clause, and that I should put it into the Innate Flight ability I had written, because it makes sense. - Devon
