    Hydra's Combat Reflexes

    Take a look at the Ettin for example. It has Superior two weapon fighting which allows both its heads to control an arm so it takes no penalty on "attack" and "damage" rolls. i.e. It doesn't suffer two weapon fighting penalties. Now, if you look in it's stat block, in the Attack section it shows...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Savage Species and 3.5 aren't totally compatible.

    Having played up to a level 13 ghaele before and my fiance currently playing one at level 4, I haven't seen any balancing issues at all yet to be honest. Every ability a ghael possesses can be duplicated (or very nearly) by many simple spells anyway. The "at will" powers it gains really doesn't...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Savage Species and 3.5 aren't totally compatible.

    The pixie. I had a friend this week wanting to make a pixie. The Level Adjustment for it in Savage Species is +5. In the new 3.5 MM it's either +4 (without Otto's Dance) or +6 (with Otto's Dance). Man, they need to fix this and give us new creature templates FAST! It's too much damn work trying...

    Sacramento, CA Gaming

    Our group is seeking a new player for D&D 3.5. I currently am running a Planescape style game, and our other DM is getting burnt out on D&D it seems, so if you also DM, that's a definate plus since we liked to rotate games every several weeks. Anyway, we're looking for someone fairly mature...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Savage Species and 3.5 aren't totally compatible.

    Yup, just went over a lot of stuff and most monsters in Savage Species of mid to high level have been completely changed in the 3.5 monster manual. The Rakshasa is a big one. It's not longer killed by blessed crossbow bolts, and instead of it being immunte to spells of level 8 and lower it jus...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Savage Species and 3.5 aren't totally compatible.

    Ok, they've done enough changes to the 3.5 MM that it pretty much turns Savage Species into a $30 doorstop unless you care to convert everything over yourself, which isn't really all that easy. The rules in SS are decent but not defined enough to accurately do this I don't think, especially with...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Savage Species and 3.5 aren't totally compatible.

    It was set with the 3.5 rules, sure, but the monsters in there that are also in the 3.5 Monster Manual aren't always equal. Take the Ghaele for example. First off, the original one in the first MM had a DR of 25/+3. The one in Savage species shows it at 10/+2. However, the new 3.5 book shows it...

    GenCon, sleep, hard-core gaming and drowsy driving

    I couldn't tell you if the dizzyness happens when I am well rested or not, but the lightheadedness seems to be there no matter what, though sometimes it's worse than others. I believe it's worse when I've had less sleep or a bad night sleep, but it's hard to tell. I'm also a very thin guy...

    GenCon, sleep, hard-core gaming and drowsy driving

    Yeah, due to a friend falling asleep at the wheel once we rolled his car into a ditch and flipped it twice, and one person was thrown into barb wire. Everyone survived, with no seat belts, at about 70 mph. The car was actually "thrown" over since the dirt packed against the wheels down this...

    (OT Food) Help! I need a Stir Fry!

    I stir fry all the time in a wok. I don't have any specific recipes since I just know what I feel like. But here's your basic method for using meats and vegitables. First add 1-2 tablespoons of canola oil into the wok and heat it up on a high flame,then cook the meat first until it's at least...

    Ghostwalk -- Opinions?

    There's a specific ghost template in the book that you are supposed to use. According to SKR, in a ghostwalk campaign, a PC using this should not have his ECL raised at all as a result of using it. In other campaigns though, I'd probably give it a level adjustment of like +7. Seems to be about...

    Why Half-Elves???

    The bonuses a half elf get are easily worth the price of a feat and a couple extra skill points. I think they are balanced perfectly fine with a human. Not to mention, in games that have a lot of multiclassing, I think the ability to not worry as much about cross class penalties plays a big...

    Incorporeality questions

    Here's a quote about spells being cast on incorporeal creatures... "even when struck by magic or magic weapons, an incorporeal creature has a 50% chance to ignore any DAMAGE from a corporeal source -- except for a force effect, such as magic missile, or damage inflicted by a ghost touch...

    Incorporeality questions

    Never mind. The answer is yes on both counts. I re-read the incorporeality rules in the DMG again.

    Incorporeality questions

    Hello, looking for answers to a couple questions here that I am having trouble finding the answer to... 1. If two incorporeal creatures fight each other, is there still a miss chance to touch each other or not? I know if spells are cast then it still applies. Weapon attacks aren't affected cuz...

    Ghostwalk question

    psions would work fine with this. Just cuz you hear "ectoplasm" though doesn't mean this has anything more to do with psionics than anything else. Ectoplasm is used to describe the substance that ghosts are created from basically, that's it. There's a couple spells in the book (just like a...

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    I used to game at Great Escape and play D&D and/or Mechwarrior DA there. It's not hard on the weekends to find a game table. I think Wednesday's they have Whorewammer tournaments though. Saturday's are pretty easy to get set up though. We never needed a reserve and we usually had a table capable...
