    DR Su or Ex for purposes of Anti-magic?

    I tend to agree with you, some creatures (e.g. pit fiends and solars) have regeneration (Ex) as an ability so only X-aligned weapons can harm them. It makes them almost impervious to damage if they are in an anti-magic field, i.e. only an opposed outsider can harm them. In the case of pit fiends...

    Siege problems with Power Attack

    That must be it. But could you point out the page with the rules for fatigue during a long combat? (in the 3.0 books if possible) Cheers, Xeovke

    Siege problems with Power Attack

    Now that I think of it, isn't the mattock of the titans slightly off as described. It is said it takes 1 hour to clear out a 10-foot cube of stone ( 90*12*10=10800 HP with hardness 8). Now wielding it as the gargantuan +3 adamantine warhammer it is, it does 4d6+3+12 (strength 10+8+8 for a Huge...

    Siege problems with Power Attack

    We once had a gnoll barbarian in one of our games. We were quite lucky and rolled a Maul of the Titans as a magic item (which deal triple damage against structures). It was pretty useful as we simply stopped passing trough doors: walls did not last very long and weren't trapped. However as many...

    Vicious combo

    Vicious combo

    Say a fighter wears an adamantine heavy armor, then he gains DR 3/-. If he uses a Vicious weapon, every hits he makes deals an additional 2d6 to his target, and he himself receives 1d6. The question is, does his DR apply to the 1d6 he receives himself? Cheers! Xeovke (As a side note isn't...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Npc Cr

    For the 1st one I'd say b), the first level of Warrior is just 1/2 CR and they must trade. As for a) warrior levels never were +1 to CR/level. As for c), +1/2 levels is not enough (20th level warrior = 10th level fighter). For the 2nd: c), NPC classes are nonassociated, even if it increases the...

    The Flesh is weak

    In the Flesh to Stone description it says that only creatures made of flesh are affected. It's pretty clear this excludes elementals, oozes, plants, and almost all constructs. It seems this should include (monstrous) humanoids, giants, fey, animals and magical beasts. But what about outsiders...

    Wild Mage

    Well, about 5$, I suppose :p (I knnow it was a cheap one but I couldn't resist) As a note, Sean K.Reynolds has a version on his site, at http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/prestige/prestige.html (I have also seen 2 others in .doc files but they were way overpowered) Hope it helps, Xeovke

    ECL of Monsters Part III: Are Ogres ECL 8? The Adventures of Ghorgor.

    Apologies As a note, the Ogre's ECL should be calculated so that it is fine in the optimal campaign with the optimal class, so the fact that a Troll was good in ECL+8 in Myth's campaign, it only means that the Troll's ECL is *at least* +8, and in the same manner, Ghorgor (the Ogre) being good...

    ECL of Monsters Part III: Are Ogres ECL 8? The Adventures of Ghorgor.

    It is in the same entry as Ogre, but has a distinct sub-entry. Xeovke

    ECL of Monsters Part III: Are Ogres ECL 8? The Adventures of Ghorgor.

    Dead even?!? 1)He has a +8BAB+5Str-1size=+12 to hit versus a +9BAB, so that's a +3 to hit difference which is kind of not negligeable. 2)Even if the fighter uses reach weapons, so the fighter's weapon is MUCH easier to sunder (he has less HP). 3)The ogre has a +7 bonus (relative to the...

    question on Kraken and Animals

    :( ... nobody cares about the poor Kraken and the poor Small dog... just restating my questions: 1)what are the attacks of the Kraken and their respective reach? 2)Do all animals with better Dex than Str have weapon finesse on their natural attacks? I might add another one: 3) are psi attacks...

    question on Kraken and Animals

    Can a Kraken eat Animals? No just kidding.... My question on the Kraken: -in the MM in they say: "Reach:10ft (100ft with tentacles)" but then looking in the text you see, that he has two 100ft-long tentacles, and six 50ft-ones. Now, I just supposed it could not attack farther than 10ft with his...

    MotW: Tempest question: 2H vs 2W, again!

    The thing is, the people you encounter will not necessiraly have an uniformly AC varying from your attacks bonus to your attack bonus +20. And my point was that these approximation are too crude: as I showed, if you read my post at long, your cases are actually a 2HF is better conclusion not a...

    MotW: Tempest question: 2H vs 2W, again!

    Sorry to announce that, but your calculations are more than a little wrong: Ignoring strenght bonus is in favor of the 2WF since he has 1.5 Str placed at the +4BAB-2Penalty=+2, while the 2HF has a 1.5 placed at +4BAB+1WeapFoc=+5. Ignoring critical hits does not make a great difference overall...

    Lizardfolk = ECL 4?!?!

    Just a note I don't have S&F with me, but I think the Ogre's duom (if it's a spiked chain-like weapon) would be a Huge weapon (not Large, like a normal one), and since the fighter's bastard sword is Medium sized, PHB p.136 on "Strike a weapon": "The attacking weapon can be no more than one...

    Lizard Folk

    I once played a Grig (a tiny Sprite from the MM) Sorcerer, who was "wielding a mighty sword" (tiny greatsword). It was not a very "effective" character (spellcasting and ECL is not a very wise choice), but it gave a funny mood to the whole game. The campaign was in a elf city, so Grig had a...
