The only thing the OP didn't cover is the case of attacking things of higher/lower level. Would penalties/bonuses apply?

Well, considering that creating the orb and then sustaining it are both minor actions, you'll be launching other attacks while you power it up. Like, I dunno, a beguiling blast at just the right time to put a buncha baddies right in this thing's sweet spot in round 4. It's not like it prevents...

I'd hazard they're Gith from the Creature Catalog.

If you really want the Rakshasa to get under a Deva's skin, can also trot out lines like: "Hehe, oh, I remember.... what was it, like, 3 lifetimes ago? You and me, back to back, fighting the good fight against that idiot emperor-wannabe. "Do you remember how that ended? HE KILLED ME, and...

1) Attack on a village they all happen to be in. Guards call for "all worthy souls to aid in the defense!" Being obvious (I would hope) adventurer types, they get lumped together in haste by the captain of the guard. 2) Town crier calling for volunteers to aid the [insert relevant nobility...

Here's the catch -- if you look at the monk's powers, their damage expressions are always something like 1d10 + dex, or some other combination of specific dice & stat bonus. Being explicit dice expressions, the bonus to unarmed strike doesn't come into play. If instead, the damage were to be...

Actually, I think the absolutely most insulting thing a Rakshasa could call a deva is.... Brother -- said with a mixture of scorn, envy and insinuation.

I'm gonna be buying one for my kid (he turned 13 this summer) at the FLGS so he can have the same box that I started on (with different and modern contents, of course). Retro for the kid!

Partly correct -- immune to forced movement, and gets to make a save when knocked prone to resist it.

The DMs where I played today were definitely worried that the Tembo was going to be a TPK, but most groups (including mine) handled it pretty well. The Ardent's daily is a HUGE advantage, especially if it moves up to a wall and then gets surrounded like it did for us. That plus the barbarian's...

No, what it means is the following: Day 1: Party rests, everyone except the Mul sleeps, everyone gets benefit. Mul sits around, alert and on guard, but still technically resting. Day 2: Same as above. Day 3: NOW the Mul needs to catch 6 hours of shuteye or he's boned. Alternately, Mul...

Hey, I'll have you know I've played an angsty halfling before! It can be done. An angsty hafling swordsage with burn scars up one arm and on half his face (and the raised parts of the scars tattooed black). But for the most part, you are correct, sir. Such wonderful varieties of gnomes exist...

Umm, that I'd probably stat up using vehicle-type rules for movement and external weaponry, and then have a nice floorplan and run the interior as a dungeon. Toss in a skill challenge or two (for things like "boarding it while it's on the move," "boarding it while it's on the move with nobody...

Looking more at the DSCG, I'm very, very tempted to make a Thri-Kreen Bloodbond Seeker, using chatchkas for fun and mayhem.... A quick reflavor of some of the powers and I'll have a mobile, desert-prowling controller of DOOM!

If you do get your kid her own set of dice, make sure you get the kind in the long cylindrical tubes -- that way she has something in which to put dice when they misbehave. I've DM'd for young gals before. I've seen what happens to "misbehaving dice." A spanking tube for them appears to be a...

Love the setting, but then again, I'm a long-time fan of it. Couple of quibbles -- I *hate* *hate* *hate* some of the Thri-kreen art: back cover of the CS, p23 at the race entry itself -- no no no no no no NO! p33 (Thri-kreen reaver) is better, p60 (Guardian of the land) even better & p73...

I stumbled across the Premiere store concept back around the time MM3 had come out. I randomly wandered by my local FLGS in search of a different book, when lo and behold, there sat MM3 --and lots of it-- well before what I understood to be the release date. I blinked a bit, looked at the...

I saw the announcement whilst on break at work today -- one of the "break-time" pcs that's on its own DSL line and outside the corporate firewall showed me a picture of brutal desolation. I felt a chill run down my spine as I stared, enraptured, at the two words in front of me. I've been...

This -- if they start to abuse it, have them encounter a group of Azers and hope they take the bait.... *edit* The general idea is that just about every cheesy abusive tactic of this sort normally has some circumstance under which it not only doesn't work but actually makes it backfire. Once...

Well, I see a couple of different options here. Bloodclaw weapons are indeed great -- as long as the one using them doesn't have to worry about taking much damage in a fight. Easy solution (though a bit meta-gamey) is to start tossing in a few encounters with monsters that have damaging auras...
