Ah, I didn't know that! I don't have the MM2, but am glad to learn this rule. Breathe away! ;)

Snatch really doesn't apply in this case, since it's the dragon that's being grappled, not the dragon Snatching his victims. Strictly looking at the Grappling rules, the dragon should only be able to escape or break out of the pin after it's been put into such a position. Thus, no breath...

I can't.

The gilded sign above the heavy oaken door read “O’Reilly and Shaw – Barristers – No Solicitation”. After taking a few deep breaths, Ur swaggered in and proclaimed with an affected drawl, “I am here to invest in Ashenshaft.” Then he posed – hair free flowing, bejeweled with looted trinkets...

The warhound sniffed the air, and growled. The shaman reined in his horse, and turned to his companions. “Death is in the air. Khan and I should wait here. Larah, Ur: be careful.” The scarred half-orc rolled her eyes, and rode lazily towards Ashenshaft. The warrior adjusted the hood of his...

OMG! Mr. Ember must have inadvertently put on a Girdle of Femininity, because he's actually a SHE! Looks great Claudio! :D

To comment on Rel's post above, I would rule that a scroll is indeed a single item, regardless of how many spells have been scribed on it. Tearing a scroll would destroy it, and would not be a convenient way to share multiple scribed spells. Of course, you can also rule that a scroll, being a...

Zhure posted earlier, but his post may have gotten overlooked. DMG p. 245

You can scribe as many spells as you want onto a scroll, subject to whatever makes sense to you, and it takes one day per 1000 gp value of the completed scroll.

So, you're going to house-rule this spell from a Burst to an Emanation? Sure, whatever floats your boat.

Actually, you can always take 10 if you are not being threatened or rushed. You cannot take 20 if there is a penalty of failure.

Argh, dump the chump! This isn't mismanagement of player/character expectations -- like so many have said before, this is an abusive player taking advantage of others. Tell the bard's player to read this thread, and let him know we support him!

Hmm, a few things sound iffy about that combat. Since this was a CR 10 blue dragon, it was most likely a young adult blue dragon. Being Large, it is indeed able to use its Improved Grab ability against you if it had the Snatch feat. However, it must take a -20 to its grapple check if it wanted...

Oops, acid does half damage to objects. So, rinsing gemstones in a vat of 2d8 acid is just fine.

Why not use the object hardness rules? Stone has a hardness of 8, so the dragon can store them in 1d6 acids without fear.

Quickbeam, you may have misunderstood my comments about the elemental swords. There were no precedents for them in the original ToEE, but the four that are present in the RttToEE lose their magical powers when their corresponding altar is destroyed. That loss of power, when linked to the...

Properly played, the Outer Fane should be a challenge for 11th level parties, with wiggle room and margin for error for 13th level parties. If I were you, I'd devastate the three bridges and seal the doors to the Outer Fane, but grant entry from the temple to the Fane with the use of portals...

We spent almost a year with this module, and, looking back in hindsight, I'd advise placing the elemental altars far and wide around the Flanaess. Put the fire temple in White Plume Mountain, put the water temple in Saltmarsh, the earth temple in the Underdark, and the air temple somewhere...

“So, ah, Ur... Bode and I were talking. Do you have any secrets?” The cloaked warrior frowned at the bandit, then waggled his head at the shaman beside her. The shaman shrugged, but looked back expectantly. “Yes,” the warrior stated simply, and continued riding. Ur is actually the Tarantis...

I weep with joy at this update. My office is now looking at me funny. :D
