I'll agree with that. I remember once, I used what I though would be a piece-of-cake riddle... a poem, in which reading the first letter of every line gave the phrase caput therianthropi, ("head of the werebeast" in Latin). One of the players went to grammar school with me, and we both had Latin...

My gnome druid had 21 (+1 size, +2 Dex, +1 bluewood [from FR's Unapproachable East) wild chain shirt, bluewood small heavy shield, +1 ring of protection), which increased to 25 with barkskin. Now, at 12th level, I got 22 (+1 size, +2 Dex, +8 monk's belt [+7 from Wisdom 24, +1 5th-level monk...

In Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed, the magister class (AU's wizard equivalent) gets the magister's staff ability at 1st level. It serves as a focus for his spells, but is generally more of a flavour-tool, and can even be a hindrance at times. Magisters also get some flavourful abilities as they...

I see Cabral explained it much better than I could. That's how I've been imagining the ability. As a side note, another way to gain shadow blend is to be a druid, and at 12th level take Dragon Wildshape feat (from Draconomicon). If your DM has shadow dragons in the campaign, and he lets you...

I don't think it gives you invisibility. The opponents still know you're there, the shadows merely give you concealment, which means that any attacks targeted at you (and requiring an attack roll) have a 50% chance of missing you. They just can't pinpoint your exact position. It is similar to...

Ignore, please. Thanks.

I was thinking between 'Every time' and 'Often', and went with 'Often' in the end, although we use grapple almost every combat... that is, my character uses it ;) I play a 12th-level druid, and Improved Grab helps a lot. Favoured forms are red tiger (from FRCS Silver Marches accessory [for it's...

While not particularly relevant, there's a psionic power in the XPH that does the same thing, and I think it's 4th-level. It can even be augmented to revive creature that's been dead for more than 1 round, by spending more XP. Regards.

I've been really (and pleasantly) surprised to see Croatia, and especially Split (my home town), is involved (although the misspelled the name of the street the store is in ;)). Unfortunatelly, I won't be in Split that day, because... ...I'll be visiting Belgrade :) Sammael, would you happen...

You mean there are people who don't draw maps of dungeons? :D Seriously, though, if we're in a dungeon, we almost always draw the map. It's just easier knowing exactly where you are, and if the adventure stretches over several sessions (something that regularly happens in our games), that...

Yes, I used to cast three GMFs at the start of every adventuring day -- one for the dire bat, and two for me (one for bite, one for claws). However, the campaign specifics, and my choice of companion, made share spells less than useful. It's relatively difficult to stay within 5 ft. if you're...

Just as a note, scout gets blindsense at level 10. There's also a feat in Races of Stone, Earth Sense, that gives a watered-down version of tremorsense, and the Earth Dreamer PrC (a 5-level, full spellcaster class) that gives tremorsense 10 ft. at 3rd level (and a bunch of other interesting...

My character is an 11th-level druid (about 500 XP short of level 12), and he only has animal companion(s) for a short while... He had a snake he used mostly as a decoration, wrapped around his neck -- it was a 2-headed viper from FRCS -- which wasn't my original intent, but snakes are rather...

There was a feat in FRCS that did something similar -- you got to pick one skill that was previously a cross class skill for you, and that skill was considered class skill for you. You also got a +2 bonus to all checks using that skill. IIRC, it was called Cosmopolitan, and was a regional feat...

Between us, my group has the majority of D&D books. I like reading through them, looking at the new options. However, we rarely stray from the core books (in the current group, the only non-core characters are psychic warrior and scout (who is a very recent addition)). And so far, we haven't had...

Here's the link to the article.

At first, I was going to say no, but then, thinking about it some more, I changed my mind. So, I'd say that, unless the effect depends on the druids form (such as affecting humanoids, or requiring hands to use, and so on), I'd say yes, such a feat or class ability would be usable in swarm form...

Don't know is this is supported by the rules in any way, but I'd say one creature in the swarm retains such spells and effects, making them, for all intents and purposes, irrelevant. It's similar to how the psionic power fission functions - spells and effects affecting the character don't...

As others have said, it's not possible by the rules. However, I'm going to toot my own horn for a bit, so here's my home-brewed feat: SWARM SHAPE [General] You can assume the form of a swarm. Prerequisites: Wis 19, Wildshape (Tiny) class ability, Knowledge (nature) 13 ranks Benefits: You can...

Why, thank you. I was just going to toot our horn for a bit :) Seriously, I'd recommend the mediterranean region, if you want sunny. For patriotic reasons, I'll recommend Dalmatia. Finding some small town with on the coast that isn't overcrowded with tourists shouldn't be too hard, I'd say...
