I use Know (monsterous) in my game All players have it as a class skill. They also get 1 free rank per level. The DCs are set on a per monster basis. "famous" monsters or common (animal, etc) monsters have lwoer DCs. Example: Ape (animal): Base DC = 10 Orc (common humanoid): Base DC = 10...

Hey VAX, No offence, but that's one DM's opinion (yours); This dragon had a 'lair' that was not completely open, but being in a swamp, had plenty of insects, worms, and other squimry things writhing around. What's one more toad? YMMV but if it was a cave, I assume a bat, or other...

It's like a template without all the number crunching.

Hmmm, seasong...we may have to have a leetle talk sometime... high points of the recent posts: the very differnt reactions of the 3 PCs to being captured. All belivable too! AND: I have a much better idea what Greppa looks like now that I can see him through Orcish eyes. I had though...

What about a dog familiar?

VAX/Bret... What kind of HUGE spellcraft or Know (arcana) does a young dragon have? Around 12 +INT for spell craft. Know (arcana) purchased seperately. Whats the DC to recognize an animal as a familiar? Frightful Presence only works when the dragon attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Some...

HI PC, I just though of a neat one! How about an exact clone of an old humanoid enemy of the PCs - but without that naaaasty evil alignment or hidden agenda? If the enemy was: selfish, the clone will be altruistic sneaky, the clone will be forthright violent, the clone will be a pacifist, or...

What a shameless pimp you are seasong! ...your story hour IS good though...

the wizard in the party used his toad familiar to scout out a dragon (size MD). What dragon would take a toad seriously? the party learned exactly when the dragon was away, and ambushed him in his layer. Blindsight does NOT work through doors and around corners, after all.

Hey Vax, With regard to being red faced over Anti-magic sheild, I think you were thinking of *Minor Globe of Invunerability:

Whew! I am back from a 6 day T-day break, and as I suspected this thread has had, significant seasong posting. Good gravy seasong! You are prolific; wanna write a term paper? Ok questions: 1. Where are the Orc spell casters (are there any?) 2. The orcs seem to have some pretty impressive...

whaaaaa, whaaaa...(sniff)...my NPCs are dead... I now offically hate Clerics AND Paladins. On the plus side: Teleport scroll to Hommlet: 1,125gp A nights stay at Grandma's Hotel: 10 sp extra hot bathwater for Anon: 1 sp Taking away Pris's...um...unicorn friendship: Priceless There are some...

Bring on the gangsta lovin' the liberators should be gettin' from those friends of OURS :)

I am tending twds the Jester's POV. Let's say for example, that there was a poison that caused nonmagical sleep; triggering a chemical in the body that puts a living thing to sleep. Although elves are not immune to poison, since they do not sleep, I cannot see why the poison would affect...

commentary yeah seasong, here's a Q: What's with all the male nudity in your game? Don't make me quote the lines, but dang, dude! Put some leather on those poor chilly bastards! One word "shrinkage" - reason enough to wear clothes in the mountains. Also, is more orcs really an ingredient...

He-LLO! I know I'm not the only one reading this bad boy - any commentary?

No need to be short with me Corwin, my reply is not an attack, it's a discussion, right? If I have been inflamatory, please let me know what I can do to reply more appropriately so Drow sleep poison causes unconciousness - I have no problem with it working- are you saying that's the only sleep...

splat book issues Yep, that's often at the core of these types of issues. Spell Focus is bad enough, greater spell focus is Brutal. So why allow it? Or limit it's scope to one spell. That way, NPCs and monsters can react intellegently. Also, think about monsters. try using undead, or...

Elves are immune to sleep poison becsaue (drumroll) Elves.don't.sleep. I argue it's the effect, not the source. Do undead care where ability damage comes from (magical, natural, etc)? Nope, they are immune to it.

Awww. Corwin, don't keep me down like that! You cannot envision a poison that causes chemicals in your body to undergo an exothermic reaction causing heat/fire damage? In a similar vein, an endothermic reacion might cause cold damage. I get the visuals, with the tactile, from hot and cold...
