    Gust of Wind spell, underwater?

    ...!!! Yes! I completely overlooked the OTHER spell-like ability. I do think this could work. Also likely doable, definitely faster than a sheep bladder. The lair will be covered entirely in ice, high up a mountain, and reinforced with a frosty layer from the Dragon's breath. I'm actually...

    Ice spells/Supernatural attacks underwater, what happens?

    Thanks, I had tried to search for those who have discussed before, found a sort of on topic thread in GitP, but not the answers I wanted. I'm becoming convinced that there is no RAW for this, so I'll err on the side of one cannot freeze water with magic unless the spell says so. Thanks all!

    Ice spells/Supernatural attacks underwater, what happens?

    That's a useful starting point. Are there any other clues in spells or effects with similar descriptions? As a level 6 spell, dealing 1d6 damage per level, this is a minimum 11d6 by the time it can be cast. My adult White Dragon is dealing 6d6. If I wanted to extrapolate something from this...

    Gust of Wind spell, underwater?

    Ah! checking the school of magic as a hint to the kind of effect, that makes sense. I'd buy that argument if no other evidence comes to light. Before now I never actually believed the spell actually created air, I was simply reconsidering the words to see if they'd fit my scenario. I'm ok if...

    Non-Lethal Damage Tweak

    This makes sense to me. However, could a professional knuckle breaker actually be skilled enough to prevent this from happening? Surely there's a way that someone trained in the art of hurnting you juuust enough could accomplish this. Perhaps add a feat that returns non-leathal damage back to...

    Gust of Wind spell, underwater?

    My second question regarding an upcoming Dragon encounter with my players (The first question is here). As described in the other thread, my players will fight a White Dragon. When the battle starts turning badly for the Dragon, she will escape down a water tunnel that leads to her secret back...

    Ice spells/Supernatural attacks underwater, what happens?

    I'm running an encounter with a White dragon in it's lair against my players. I've enjoyed designing the Dragon's lair, and one part is a water filled tunnel under the ice in the main chamber. Once the Dragon appears to be losing the fight, she'll retreat into the waterway and either escape...

    How do you progress spellcasting monsters?

    Thank you Lwaxy, posts 7, 8 & 9 had all been posted at one time, but did not appear for days. I see that it is fixed now, thank you.

    What if races leveled up?

    Is this like how the Dragonborn and Hellbred races have abilities that progress over levels? Or how Raptorians increase their ability to fly as they gain levels? If so, I'd give Gnomes a single illusion spell every other level. Half-Orcs would have a weaker-than-barbarian Rage progression...

    Monsters, Magic items and CR?

    One of my buddies asked me if the Collar of Umbral Metamorphosis on a monster would increase it's CR, since it adds the dark template. I told him I didn't know. So, I ask you, how does the use of magic items, armor, weapons, etc, affect the challenge rating of a particular monster? To the...

    How do you progress spellcasting monsters?

    This thread is acting funny, I can see that people have posted from outside the thread, but I cannot see what they have posted, once I open it.

    Ultimate Characters!

    Ah, my friend, you just wanted to talk about something cool, end everyone else opened the door to the twilight zone for you. Your build suggestion is based off a Monk, which as Jackinthegreen already pointed out, can be bested by a caster. And most other classes. For a useful suggestion...

    Wildshaping Druid possible variant question

    There are some ways to do this without resorting to house rules: Assume Supernatural Ability and the Improved version are from Savage Species. The book is 3.0 and generally considered to be filled with broken, overpowered options, but it's official and legal. The feat allows you to choose 1...

    Wildshaping Druid possible variant question

    It would be unbalanced in your favor, if you chose to take advantage of it. and it would be difficult not to. You'd be trading a spell list (powerful) for every supernatural ability in the game (really, really powerful). For example, once you take your 4th level of Master of Many Forms, you...

    How do you progress spellcasting monsters?

    Oohh.... Druid PrC, yeah, I think I'll go that way. Already has a BAB, spellcasting and Wild Empathy, that much allow it to qualify for a number of PrCs.

    How do you progress spellcasting monsters?

    I want to make a Nymph NPC with higher level Druidic casting than the base creature posesses. Do I simply progress additional HD and increase Druidic casting as if she gained a level in Druid? Or is there another way to do this?

    What makes a Villain?

    Indeed, and this is why I'm looking for feedback from many of you fine, experienced folks here. Oh.. thanks! Great point. I had intended once for a bounty hunter to campute my PCs, instead they killed him & his partner. It seriously messed with my plan, but my players talked about that...

    What makes a Villain?

    I'm seeking defining characteristics of a quality villain. There are so many different kinds, what are the universal strands throughout all Villains? This is for the purpose of becoming a better D&D DM, so I've posted in this forum. Dictionary.com on the word Villain states, "a cruelly...
