Tonight I ran some Large air elementals against my PCs. And when I tried to use their whirlwind ability against the characters, I found I was... confused. Some questions: (1) Does the air elemental have to enter its opponent's space in order to catch him in the whirlwind? Does this provoke...

So I ran a chuul against my players tonight. And I read Improved Grab in the MM. And still, I (and my players) were mightily confused. The chuul hit some guy with a claw (as an AoO, specifically) and beat him on the grabble check. Now the guy is grabbed. Unless the chuul takes a -20 on...

A character in my game is about to get a dire lion as an animal companion. The creature will not have all that much opportunity to hunt - it will probably spend a good deal of time hanging out on the party's ship, and only accompany its master on adventures in appropriate enivronments. My...

Is there a feat, in the official, semi-official, or non-official rules, for characters who are very attractive to members of the opposite sex? (Or, more precisely, most members of the opposite sex, and some of the same sex, depending on orientation.) I have a homebrew one - dealing with...

In the PH (pg. 132), it says of creatures who are less than Small that they "... have no effective natural reach. They have to enter or be in your area to attack you. Since they have to pass through your threatened area to get to you, you get attacks of opportunity...." If a Tiny (or smaller)...

Can anyone please point me to Mnte Cook's alternative ranger class? Thanks. The Spectrum Rider

If a character fails his saving thorw against a harpy's captivating song, does the effect only continue as long as the harpy keeps singing? If, after captivation, the harpy (or target) is enveloped in a silence spell, or the harpy dies, or stops singing for any reaon, what is the result...

Under most circumstances, would a Flyby Attack trigger an Attack of Opportunity. It seems to me it would; the flying creature moves through its target's theatened spaces (assuming equal reach, the target can threaten, etc.) and makes an attack - normally that would give the target an AoO. But...

In the MM entry for the harpy, it says about the harpy's captivating song: "A bard's countersong ability allows the captivated creature to make a new Will save." This is somewhat different from the PH description of the bard's countersong ability. There, the bard's Perform check can be used...

I'm a little confused about aerial combat (which may come up in a big way in a game I'm DM'ing soon). Is there a place with detailed examples and explanations I can look at? In particular, I've been looking at the dire hawk in MM II. It has a great full-attack sequence - but when does it get...

No, not a "hoo'd win?" thread. When creating a new monster, how do you (or TPTB, or anyone) decide whether it should be an outsider or an elemental? In particular, in MM II, why is the firebat (from the elemental plane of fire) an elemental, while the sylph (from the elemental plane of air)...

I.E., does it round up or down? If an entry says something like "1 time per 4 levels," does that mean zero times for levels 1, 2, and 3; 1 time for levels 4, 5, 6, and 7; 2 times for levels 8, 9, 10, 11; and so on? Or does it mean: 1 time for levels 1-4, 2 times for levels 5-8, 3 times for...

The description of "Protection From Evil" makes reference to "summoned or conjured creatures (see the Monster Manual)." Does the MM actually say anything about this? Because I can't din it. The spell vaguely implies that it's talking about (among other things) elementals and outsiders. My...

Does anyone know of a good gaming sourcebook that describes various kinds of boats and ships - not just their speeds and carrying capacities, but actual diagrams of the vessels? Something that can be easily integrated into AD&D 3rd Edition would be best. Thanks in advance, The Spectrum Rider

Does it, or anything like it, still eixst on-line? If so, where? Much thanks, The Spectrum Rider

I'm looking for a 3rd-Edition lynx, either converted from an old version or newly created. Anybody got one? Thanks, The Spectrum Rider
