Best wishes from across the Adriatic ;) Buon compleano! -- Perun (who'll be turning 27 in a couple of months himself ;))

No, thanks. Calling from Europe just to get an answer to a (pretty obvious, I admit it) question just doesn't seem all that appealing to me ;)

Just a couple of minutes ago, I mailed WotC customer service with a question regarding the wild magic armour ability (which I also posted here). That was in 18:51 CET. In 18:55, I received a reply (asking if I could state exact book and page where "wild" armour ability can be found). I...

I have a question regarding the "Wild" magic armour special ability. The description of the ability says that "the wearer of a suit of armor or a shield with this ability preserves his armor bonus (and any enhancement bonus) while in a wild shape"

I've trouble playing elves. Not that I dislike them, I'm just not compatible with the elven "mindset". An occasional elf (I've played maybe two or three in 11 years I've been playing D&D) is okay, if it's a sort of comic-relief character. Oddly enough, I'm okay with drow, as long as they're not...

I like all arcane spellcasters. I think the sorcerer's mechanically just fine, although he could do with a bit more flavour. Bards are a good class, and really don't have to depend on the minstrel stereotype. I also like monks (although I'd only play LN ones). They don't fit in mediaeval...

Well, apparently we have a larger-than-average amount of beutiful women. Or so the story goes. Although, lately all thw omen tend to follow the same fashion trends... IOW, they all look the same now... :P On second thought, TerraDave might've been referring to our, ahem, Ladies-of-the-Night...

You're right, I forgot about Improved Evasion. It's still a pretty hard hit, though.

Go for it. It could be loosely translated as "the thing that loses (as in fires) bolts by itself" (sam [long "a"]: self, strela: bolt, arrow)

Heh, I'm really enjoying this thread (in case you couldn't guess by the number of posts ;)). I just had to add Gez and Ravellion's list: Gnome: Gnom (we just adapted the word, local mythology doesn't recognise the creature :)) Goblin: Goblin (same thing) Ogre: hmmm... tough one, since we never...

Heh, oddly enough, "krepost" in Croatian (which is a slavic language as well) means moral purity, but the archaic meaning was also bodily strength. And, since we're already comparing, . In Croatian, gamad means vermin ;)

I'd make it 1 HD (1d8-1) Fine Vermin (Swarm). Fine is 0 to 6 inches in body length, and I don't think there are any butterflies larger than that. Besides, butterflies are incredibly fragile, and I think 2 HD is too much, even for a swarm. However, I'd be really careful with swarm familiars, not...

Here's in Croatian: Dungeon - Tamnica Dragon - Zmaj Fighter - Borac, Ratnik (Warrior) Rogue - Lopov (that's actually thief; there are also hulja, vucibatina, nitkov, nevaljalac, but those have much more negative meanings) Cleric - Svećenik Evil - Zlo Good - Dobro Combat - Borba, bitka, boj...

Yes, women, and sports. Split has a reputation for both. Regarding names, we "croatise" most of the historical names (Marcus Aurelius is Marko Aurelije, for example), and some of the royalty names (particularly those of the Habsburg family, so for example Otto von Habsburg is known as Oton...

Dalmatia, a coastal region of Croatia. Dogs with spots are our invention ;) Born and bred in Split, a city celebrating it's 1700th anniversary this year. It's 1700 years since this roman emperor person, one Diocletian, decided that running the empire was a bit too much. So he built himself a...

In our current campaign we have a gold elf wizard 10, with ungodly Intelligence (29, 31 for determining bonus spells (via Spellcasting Prodigy feat). His other stats are unusual for an elf, Dex 10, Con 13 (17 with a magic item). So far, since we switched to 3/3.5 in 2001, we've had: one dwarf...

There are fauns (as +0 LA Medium Fey) described in Deities & Demigods, in the chapter covering the Olympian pantheon. You might want to look into that. There are quite a few half-somethin/half-humans in Greek myth, so standard D&D elf stats (with weapon proficiencies changed) could be used for...

This might be a bit too much stereotyping, but, in my warped little mind, the standard barbarian goes with the viking- or Conan-like barbarians, usually from colder climates, armed with axes, greatswords or hammers. The whirling frenzy variant, OTOH, is the plains-warrior type, swift and agile...

I just thought of another question, if you don't mind. You said that the book describes how elves mature phisically at a much earlier age than the starting age given in the PH (around 30, IIRC). Does the book go on about how to play those young elves, or why they shouldn't be used as PCs...

If you don't mind, which dead or departed deities they detail in the book? I know there's Moander, Leira, Bhaal, and Myrkul, but what about the deities of Mulhorandi and Unther? Thanks in advance!
