Dungeon #98, new 3.5 rules!

[Elder-Basilisk]

This is a completely uninformed guess, but these listings would make sense if they reversed the uncanny dodge progression by placing the less useful trap sense before the very useful (dex bonus to AC) and (Can't be flanked) bonusses. Then you would list uncanny dodge: (Trap sense +1), (Trap sense +2), (Dex bonus to AC), (Can't be flanked), etc.

An interesting tidbit about 3.5 e gleamed so far from it, Barbarians get Trap Sense. There is a 3rd lvl barbarian who has "Trap Sense (+1)" along with uncanny dodge. Not quite sure what it is, perhaps the +1 dodge bonus to AC to avoid traps?
Later in the adventure there is a 5th lvl rogue who does not have this ability, but does have "Uncanny Dodge (Dex bonus to AC)"

Hm, curious how favored enemy will work.

Is it a number of bonus points you get to choose to distribute how you will? Or just higher bonuses? Or...?

I am also curious about how this works. I house ruled favored enemy in my own game to start at +2 instead of +1 and it has worked really well. If that turns out to be how 3.5 does favored enemy, I will be pleasingly surprised.

Re: Uncanny Dodge::

[pure speculation]

Maybe they have it as a list of improveable abilities, like a feat chain? Start out small, and work your way up, switching between "paths" if you want?
Path 1: Dex Bonus to AC -> Can't be Flanked
Path 2: Trap Sense +1 -> Trap Sense +2 -> ... etc.

A quick question: Is the skulvyn a Tanar'ri demon, or a bland generic demon ? In other words, does it have the tanar'ri qualities (Immune to poison and electricity; cold, fire, and acid resistance 20; can telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language) ?

Just a regular demon
