The one that could keep summoning his mount even after it was dead, and summon its corpse in mid-air so that it would drop onto enemies? Yeah... that was all kinds of awesome. I think Catharz posted that, didn't he?

They'd sure be good for killing warforged.

I would rule you can't make a figment house at all, Or at least not one that someone can enter. It'd require multiple figments to create a full 3-D illusory environment that's enterable. Like PoliteNewb suggested, I fully support the idea that that figments should be 3D and non-hollow, or at the ve...

Flask rogues: how do you carry enough flasks to be meaningful in combat, and ready them in a fashion that allows you to get more than two rounds of combat without wasting a round diving into your pack for more flasks? How do you resupply in the field? Craft:Alchemy and a lenient DM? How many rounds...

It's too bad Blood Magus has such shitty entry requirements. If you can come up with a way to fake them, Dread Necro 8/Blood Magus 4/Fate Spinner 4 would be bad ass. That might work if the DM allows me to cheese that I was killed and rezzed in my backstory. Somehow, I don't think the designers inte...

Reflavored Phantasmal Steed spell?

It is an interesting premise, and it could certainly work if you wanted to include it in your own game you're DMing. It's pretty interesting in fact, and could offer several plot hooks itself. It's not made of bullet-proof logic, but then again nothing in D&D-world is. There are also other ways ...

No they're not! They're just big boned!

Even with the horizon blocking thing, they could teleport to the moon (or whatever), and then teleport to wherever they wanted to go in the first place. No need for repeaters as long as there is some celestial body that you can actually survive going to. At least after they get Greater Teleport acce...

Originally it was in the Book of Vile Darkness. It may have been reprinted in one of the Fiendish Codexes (Codi? Codices?).

Slow your roll. If he isn't willing to give me his home address right now for any reason he is a hypocrite, because knowing my home address does nothing to stop me from terrorizing him, signing him up for shitty news letters, or ordering 30 pizzas in his name. There are a lot of good reasons for pr...

I'm just going to quote this to say that I think it is a good idea, and so it doesn't get lost by being buried under the pointless bickering about the existing corruption costs... which we don't actually give a fuck about, because we're talking about replacing them... A corruption prerequisite is a ...

Well, the class was written as a Sorcerer or Dread Necromancer PrC, but I always assumed that Sorcerers would use one of the many feats that add a skill to your class list. They are super common. The Stranger is a "Necromantic PrC," and not a "Necromancer PrC". You'll note that ...

I've had bees squatting my attic every summer for 3 years straight now, what a fucking nightmare. Apparently, once they're inside the house, they're almost impossible to get rid of again. The only upside is the little fucks at least stay in the attic. My burning hatred is consuming me; I need a bee...

It's mosquitoes that get on my nerves. Around summer, they can be really heavy. Insane, depending on the area. People who live near ponds or other kinds of water can be identified by either the faint whiff of bugspray that's always around them, or the mosquito bite marks. Yeah... I'm constantly cov...

Where I live, we have clouds of gnats that hover around your head and randomly try to dart into your eyes (to get a drink from them, I guess). I'd take the occasional fly over that anytime.

Of course... it could be worse. At least they don't bite.

Candygram!

And it doesn't even have swallow whole . So how was he eaten when he was at 25% hit points Maybe it was a dire shark ? The only time I can recall ever dealing with a dire shark (or any shark) was when I was running a game and the players caught the damn thing with an improvised hook and line (I thi...

Phaedrus: I think you missed the point. it isn't that his character was eaten for the first time that's the problem. It's the idiocy of the Shark! Although, I still don't understand why you went into melee with it ? So... the shark is the stupid one here? :biggrin: And it doesn't even have swallow ...

In the last session, I actually had my first primary (I had a named NPC under my control in 2nd ed die) character die. I think that this probably exemplifies the 3.5 unfairness, as this encounter is from a boxed module. A shark has rammed the submarine we are travelling in, and it needs to surface....

I'd need a godzilla-sized "rolling on the floor laughing" emoticon to accurately express my mirth.

Thanks for the ideas. I like the idea of the daughter being competition rather than a mate choice, and having the mate choice be another aboleth (or a list of them). I'm not that worried about the "squick" factor with the PCs I have, nor about them having a problem coercing his "mate&...

Also, they could be looking out for their descendants (can't remember if they reproduce asexually or not) to help give their lineage some distinction among aboleths--and score improved bonuses for negotiation, because they've been there. They are Asexual as they lay eggs and then fertilize them, wh...

I'm going to be using an aboleth soon in my game as an NPC. He bargains with other underdark inhabitants as an "information broker". What kind of things would this guy want for payment in general? And why would he trade away secrets, when he obviously knows that knowledge is power? Since t...

Dragon Horde should really be Dragon Hoard. Normally spelling and grammar mistakes are more or less irrelevant on teh interwebz so long as we can still get the message's gist, but Horde and Hoard have drastically different meanings; to make matters worse, there could just as easily be an ability ca...
