    Not a fan of the front page "read more" concept.

    The "read more" concept (IMO) is more of an annoyance than a convenience. Many times there are only one or two more sentences in the post, but to read them you have to click on read more and load another page. For example: Here is what is cut off: Perhaps the number of characters displayed...

    Want to smell like an orc... or a paladin...

    I came across this site: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab: RPG They make perfumes that supposedly smell like several different races, classes and alignments. Has anyone tried these? DWARF Iron filings and chips of stone, Styrian Golding hops, and soot-covered leather. ELF Pale golden musk...

    Nightwalker Crush Item ability

    Does the nightwalker’s crush item ability happen in the same round the nightwalker grabs the item, as a part of the disarm, or must the nightwalker use the crush item ability the round after he grabs the item? Also, disarm may be used in place of a melee attack, but crush item is a (Su)...

    WotC drops more 3E support :(

    Posted on the WotC knowledge base: Once again, a great customer service move by WotC. :/ A company that continues to support legacy products helps inspire confidence in customers purchasing their products, which I will not do anymore due to a variety of reasons. /sour grapes

    Calculating effective party level

    When trying to determine an appropriate encounter level for a party, the formula for the effective party level is fairly simple if there are 4 characters -- you take the average of the 4 character's levels and determine the effective party level. How is the formula different for parties that...

    Monster advancement tool

    I'm looking for a tool whereby a user could select a monster and then advance said monster or add templates to said monster in easy fashion. Perhaps the user could select a monster, and then drag and drop a template or click a button to advance the creature's HD and then be presented with...

    The GenCon SoCal Thread

    I didn't see any threads for GenCon SoCal, so I created this to organize ENWorld games, meetups, ask questions, etc. So, who here is going to GenCon SoCal? Also, has anyone been to previous years? How does it differ from Indy? Any insightful suggestions? Would anyone want to meet for some...

    I don't think my community supporter account was activated

    Hope this is the proper forum for this. I purchased a community supporter account via pay pal on April 10, 2006. I still have not seen it show up in my profile, and I can not search the forums. Here is the payment info: Web Accept Payment Sent [edited out ID number for you - Morrus] Item...

    spell targetting and augmented subtypes

    Is the augmented subtype a valid consideration when targetting spells? For example, when a Humanoid (human) polymorphs into a giant, his type becomes Giant (augmented humanoid), at least I think. Now if one wishes to cast Charm Person, which only affects Humanoids, at the polymorphed human...

    shades vs shadow conjuration

    Does Shades allow the duplicating of any Sor/Wiz Conjuration while Shadow Conjuration and Greater Shadow Conjuration allow only Conjuration spells within the (summoning) or (creation) subschools? Reading the texts below, it seems that they deliberately differentiated between Shades and the...

    Shadow Evocation and energy types

    When mimicking a spell using the Shadow Evocation spell, does the spell have the "type" of the spell mimicked? For example, if I use Shadow Evocation to mimic a fireball, is the damage of the [fire] type, and therefore be able to cause additional damage to creatures with the [cold] subtype...

    looking for a spell database

    I am looking for a spell database. I searched around but couldn't find any current ones. Something simple would be fine as long as it contains most of the info from the header of each spell like level, school, components, duration, etc. It would be great if it contained all WotC spells, but...

    negative strength modifier question

    I have a 1 Strength, and therefore a -5 modifier. When I use a small quarterstaff I do 1d4-5 for damage. Of course the minimum is 1, so I always do 1 HP damage. When I cast a Divine Favor on myself, I get a +2 luck bonus to damage, so how much damage do I do? (1) 1d4-5+2 = 1d4-3 (always 1...

    Polymorphing into a Hydra gives no extra attacks?

    Polymorph is as per Alter Self, and Alter Self states: So when a character polymorphs into a hydra or a giant octopus would they only get their normal number of attacks?

    shapechanging lich - gains CON or not?

    Do undead, which have no constitution attribute, gain a con attribute if they shapechange into a creature with a con score? An example is a lich shapechanging into a titan and gaining a con score of 39, and consequently +14 HP per HD.

    do undead heal when they rest?

    If I have a wight character (from Savage Species), would he regain HP when he rests overnight? Wights lack a constitution score and a metabolism, so I am thinking not. Do the rules cover this?

    Becomming immune to ability loss

    Are there any spells, magic items or class abilities that grant immunity to ability drain and/or damage? I can think of only a few ways. (1) The absorbing property from DotF, which is limited to the enhancement bonus of the armor or shield. (2) Shapechanging into a construct. (3) Shapechanging...
