Since many people on various forums keep mentioning Dragon Wild Shape feat as an excellent option for druids, I decided to see what it was all about. I was quite surprised. The feat says the druid gains "all the extraordinary and supernatural abilities of the dragon whose form you take, but not...

I won't get into the math analysis really (you can't ignore the official WotC stat policy, and expect balanced results), but I'll note that half-elves should also be above the 75 point norm, by your analysis. You forgot to give them additional 5 points for having "any bonus languages" feature...

I almost completely forgot about the PO geometers! I loved to play them. All of their spells had somatic components (tracing the glowing geometrical shapes and runes in the air), but they didn't have any verbal components to compensate. And the artificer (was that the name?) and the song mage...

While the bird is on the ground, it can still use its wings to jump and hop around, enabling it to rake with the talons and bite with its beak. Also, FWIW, the dire eagle description (from Races of Stone) says: "When forced to fight on the ground, a dire eagle uses both its beak and talons to...

Try about half that age. Human children of ages 3 to 5 years are about 3 to 4 feet tall. I've got a niece who's about 3-1/2 ft. tall, she's 4-1/2 years old, and she's quite tiny for her age (my two cousins' girls are taller, and about month or two younger). It's very helpful to have a kid that...

One of the players in my group called me today, saying he saw a .pdf version of a book called Libris Mortis. I haven't seen it, and apparently he only glimpsed it, but he says it has a black cover (I guess it has some picture on it, he said he couldn't remember exactly) with a d20 logo in one...

The description of the Glamered armour special quality says: I'm wondering whether it always appears as the same set of clothing (presumably detemined at the time of creation), or can the wearer decide what the "clothes" will look like? Thanks in advance! Regards!

While I haven't seen the cloistered cleric (CC) in actual game-play (we've been playing in a campaign before UA was released), he is one of the top choices for my next character. A standard cleric easily gets stretched too thin. In order to be a decent combatant and spellcaster, he needs good...

That's one of our biggest problems... It seems Silverymoon itself is under some sort of attack by demons... One of the original ideas was to go to Silverymoon and gather whatever information we can. When the party teleported there (without me, the wizard can only teleport three plus himself at a...

I'd like to hear some thoughts, and hopefully, ideas on the situation we just have in our FR campaign. We've been running about the High Forest for some time now, and at this particular point in the campaign it appears that quite a large part of it is being attacked by demonic forces. We're...

This is why I vastly prefer the Cloistered Cleric (from UA) to the traditional D&D cleric. The class is physically weaker than the PH cleric, and thus much less likely to step on fighters' toes. There might be some overlapping with certain wizard abilities (cloistered cleric is much better at...

We got the gold! We got the gold! And we won the gold in handball! :D Yay. That's five medals for Croatia (one gold, two silver, two bronze). That's one medal per 900,000 people ;) The great bit is that all five medals were won by good folk of my home city of Split (the Skelin brothers in...

Exactly. That's why you can't use novels to support a theory. I don't know why Salvatore decided that drow still need to use light sources to read. My guess is because of continuity. Back in the days of 2e, when most of his Drizzt books were written, drow (along with a bunch of other races) used...

Sorry, it appears I was too vague. I was trying to say that one cannot use the phrase "[...]sufficient light to read them [spellbooks] by" to argue anything. It was not meant to be a support for my view of things. "Sufficient light" cannot be used as quantificator, because "sufficient" does not...

I'd say that the designers meant it to work just like the black-and-white film. The description of the darkvision is written very simply. This bit here is telling, I'd say. They're talking about limitations of darkvision. If darkvision wasn't meant to allow for reading, I'd say this is where...

A question to all the DMs out there. If a creature with blindsence attacked a character with the Mirror image spell active, what would happen? Would blindsence ignore the images created by the spell? And what if the creature with blindsence also had Blind Fight feat? Thanks in advance. Regards.

I was reading through the orc description in the SRD (don't have the MM at hand), and I noticed this, under Combat sub-heading: I'm uncertain what this actually means. Are all orcs immediatelly proficient with all simple weapons? It's the second sentence that's actually confusing, since orcs...

IIRC, magebred animals can't become animal companions or familiars. That means that the magebred riding dog will be nice at low levels (1-3, I'd say), but after that it's a poor choice ot invest gold into. Also, you'd have to train it, or have someone else do it for you, to follow orders...

Although PH speaks only of dwarven underground lands, I always figured hill dwarves (the most common core dwarven subrace) lived close to the surface. Thus, they're able to do some above-surface farming, probably in the limited fashion, as they'd prefer enclosed valleys (possibly at higher...

Yeah, I forgot about that bit. Mea culpa. But that'd mean that the final DC would be 11! Base of 10, +1 for Con modifier, and +0 for HD, because there are no racial HD involved... I'll have to look through the MM for anilas (or plants) with poison ability, and check if any one of them would...
