I don't usually read two books at one time, but I occasionally make an exception if one's fiction and one's non-fiction. That's where I am right now: still reading The Shattered World (and enjoying it the second time through, but it's mostly my bedtime reading), but I also started another book...

I think the HD/hp are off: with a 16 Con (+3 bonus), it should be 7d8+21 (52 hp), no? (If I'm doing my hp calculation correctly.) Also, is its name "ember sprite" or "ember sprite gas bag"? You use the latter in the descriptions of its supernatural attacks. I think I'd change "Immunity to...

I started The Shattered World by Michael Reeves, a really good fantasy novel I read in high school and really enjoyed. I'm only rereading it now because I received not only it but its sequel, The Burning Realm, which I haven't read yet and am eagerly wanting to do so - but I figured I'd...

Hey, now! :) Johnathan

I had the PCs chase a nosferatu (a type of vampire, who didn't cast reflections in mirrors) into a pitch-black room where they could hear the sounds of a blazing fireplace. Naturally, they cast a dispel magic on the darkness spell in the room so they could see their foe...which allowed them to...

Actually, I'm fairly convinced Santa Claus is a Time Lord... (OT) Santa Claus is a Time Lord Johnathan

My son got me the D&D 3.5 book, Complete Arcane. Comes in handy, too, as he's planning on running a 3.5 wu jen in my next campaign, which should likely start this summer. Johnathan

Hopefully he'll be a good sport about the belated wishes! Johnathan

To me, Zero Day is the third book in a trilogy by Ezekiel Boone (the other two being The Hatching and Skitter) about a spider apocalypse. I was a little bummed to find the show has nothing to do with that series. Oh well. Johnathan

That's just for the HD. Here's the 3.5 SRD link; I've found it very useful in the past. (It's the magical beast entry; delete everything after the "srd" if you want the main page.) https://www.d20srd.org/srd/typesSubtypes.htm#magicalBeastType Johnathan

Magical beasts have good Fort and Ref saves, so a 3-HD magical beast and 17 Dex would have Ref +6, wouldn't it? Johnathan

First thoughts: chaotic good? Really? And does it really advance by character class? I think these might have been carry-overs from a copy-and-paste. I think the Will save should be +1 for a 3-HD magical beast with a 10 Wisdom. Johnathan

I bought a copy of the cover art of the following two books - just the pictures, none of the trade dress - from the artist, Brent Chumley, at a Gen Con many years ago. They're hanging in my man-cave, where we run our gaming sessions. Johnathan

I just spent the last hour or so reading the first three issues of three homemade comic book titles I wrote and drew back in March - August 1979, that I unearthed in a folder in a drawer in my gaming library. That would have been the end of my first year in high school and the summer before I...

Are you trying to (b)ruin this thread with puns? Johnathan

Wouldn't grapple be -11? (+1 BAB, -8 size, -4 Strength) With a -4 Strength penalty, I think those damage ranges for its sling attacks would be 1d2-4 (which means 1, effectively). I think it should have Ref +6 and Will +5. However, reading through the whole thread, it looks like it started...
