    Anyone know how to stat an 8 year old?

    I'd simply give an immature member of a race a -2 to all stats. Once they reach adulthood (somewhere between 12 and 15 for humans, I'd think) they lose those penalties. Mal-2

    starting gold, and how it's messed up.

    Well, what is the extreme disparity? Does he have one or two very powerful items, or does he just have a much higher gp value than the rest of your characters? If the problem is one or two expensive items, limit the amount of starting wealth that can be spent on a single item. If the problem...

    Help with determining value/cost of a complex magic item

    Well, I'd price them as if they were always-on, then reduce it to 1/2 price for being 'broken', since you can repair a broken magic item by paying 1/2 the base price for the enchantment. As for the base value, +10 to the Jump skill is (10^2 * 100 gp) 10,000 gp. Assuming the double movement is...

    Bashing two heads together - how would you do it?

    I would have had her attempt to grapple both the halflings. If she succeeded in grabbing both of them, I'd allow her to do standard unarmed damage to each of them. That would allow her to make an extra attack, but the limitation is that if either one of them escaped the grapple, (either via...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Rangers w/ Greater Two Weapon Fighting

    Some of your numbers up there look funny. How could you have a BAB of +11/+9/+5? The first number is too low, and the others should be descending by 5s. A Ranger 11 / Horizon Walker 3 should have a BAB of +14/+9/+4. With the ranger two-weapon combat style, he has the following feats...

    Character level, ECL, EP, Starting equipment

    I want to make sure I get this too, so here's my understanding: Walter is a 10th level wizard. Walter has 5 Hit Dice worth of a race. Thus Walter is Character Level 15 (aka 15 Hit Dice). Based on this number, he should have 6 feats (one each at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 Hit Dice). He should...

    Alter Self

    And if anyone else is looking for it, I think this is the thread in question: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57803&perpage=40&highlight=Alter%20Self&pagenumber=1

    Alter Self

    I think you missed some benifits. Alter Self grants all the things you mentioned (size, natural armor, movement modes, and natural attacks), and it also grants "racial skill bonuses [and] racial bonus feats" which I don't think you've added to your list of benifits.

    Help a guy out - Magic to find stolen objects

    If the lower level divinations don't work, Discern Location is the spell you need. "Nothing short of a Mind Blank spell or the direct intervention of a deity keeps you from learning the exact location of a single individual or object." Clr 8, Sor/Wiz 8 Assuming you could find someone willing...

    clerics with more than 2 Domains

    Those are both prestige domains. Since "These domains are only available to characters entering a prestige class that allows selection of a third domain" (DotF 77) I think you'd be justified in not allowing someone to take them with a feat.

    Lycanthropy, specifically wererats.

    I would only allow the player control after the character had made his first voluntary change, and thus taken on the alignment of the creature. Mal-2

    Well, that game was quite close. I expected Kanyano to keep me pinned down in the center area with missle fire as I tried to figure out a way to get to him. Being both harpooned and entangled by the tanglefoot bag, I was down to 5' of movement, and with -4 to my Dex I had lost the use of quite...

    You know, I just realized that I wasn't the one caught in the tanglefoot bag. I must have mis-read Macbrea's post. Oh well, at least I managed to get a crit in ;) Mal-2

    ECLs and DMG...difference?

    Re: You know... Generally, it's the other way around. According to the MM, p 12: "This book lists only the weakest and most common version of each creature. The Advancement line shows how tough the creature can get, in term of extra Hit Dice. (This is not an absolute limit, but exceptions...
