... I don't believe you need any tricks for your animal companion, if it has an 8 intelligence. It's smarter than many BDF's that I know, and they don't need...
... Animal companions only have Int 1 or 2. If Int increases above 2 for some reason, the creature becomes a magical beast instead of an animal (as with...
Hi all, I've been under-utilizing this high-level druidic ability for quite some time, and want to spend these last months before retirement changing that....
Here is the list of available creatures from MM 1. I don't believe you are allowed to use creatures from the other Monster Manuals or books. I don't think...
Be careful about the Trog for Natural Armor trick... In December a ruling was added to the FAQ that said that when you use Shapechange and "related magic" to...
I'm not quite sure where this was debunked, but if you look at the CURRENT FAQ you will see that the ruling is not as you say, but the example got missed. You...
I think your FAQ is out of date. The FAQ was revised on 2/25/05 and the new answer to that question is - "When you use shapechange (or related magic) to...
I think they do it in order to generate more web site hits, from all the people trying to find a clarification to the ambiguity.... ;) Ed P. ... The...
... Based on the number of feats and my assumption that you have no XP penalty, this is a half-elf or wood elf. Only Natural Spell is from the PHB IIRC, and...
... Huh? They aren't large. I can't think of a humanoid that is large as that's almost the definition of Giant. Statwise it'd be troglodyte. If you have any...
... All those gains don't come even close to making up for the loss of spell progression. High level Druid spells kick ass. Get as many as you can as fast as...
Too true... The benefits from Trog form are numerous as opposed to Lizardfolk (which is the second best form anyway) Troglodyte: +4 to Hide checks (+8 in...
Taking off from our recent discussion of the "A Thousand Faces" ability, I have some questions and comments directed towards those of us (yes even those of us...
My favorite 7th level spell so far has been Sunbeam. 60' line that does some damage, can blind, and can be used multiple times. I also typically put a heal...
Druid 15 nets you an extra 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th level spell. It gives you eigth level spells, which are; Empowered Fire Seeds Quickened Flames Strikes ...
Hi all, Frist time posting. I play an 11th and created him back in year one just for "thousand faces". Something also to consider for high level spell is what...
A few comments... Sunbeam: This spell is great when you know you're fighting undead harmed by the sun and oozes in advance, but is mediocre at best when you...
I will grant that the 8th level spells are a huge draw... If I choose Quicken at 15th then there is another plus. Overall the 8th level does add to the power,...
Okay, so I can just see 7th level on top of the rise over there (isn't it irritating when you're less than an APL 2 mod away from a level in xp?). I like to...

For you in particular I see a few options... Extend spell: It fills in as your metamagic feat prereq for subdual substitution and I've found it very useful. A...
