12-13-05, 12:29 AM here is a list of very important questions that need answered in our campaign lol. Also a few things when i say huge i literally mean huge as in size category.

1. Ok so lets say you are going for the dragon rider PrC if you piggybacked a polymorphed dragon would that still count?

2. say you have a shield which u want to use as a weapon so like do the weapona dn armor statistics stack or are they seperate so ill give example of waht i want.

+5(def.) reflecting shield and +5(wep) speedy defensive large steel shield in the same shield would they stack or could you only take one? this woudl equal a +19 bonus but i mean teh two are different so what would it be?

3. Lets say you are a huge half orc wrestling cleric and you turn yourself into a quadraped with a graft would you get bonuses to your grapple?

4. If you are huge can you grapple say.....a tarsque and if you win the roll would you really be able to grapple and pin said gargantuant creature it seems impossible yet technically i could according to rules ide just take minuses yes? no?

5. Lets say you are a vampire could you channel positive energy as in healing spells since you are made through negative energy i mean theres nothing saying you cant that i know of but ya wouldt it destroy you or not?

6. realting to question 2 could you dual wield said shields and use shiled bash as your attack my current idea is pally 10 dwarven defender 10 adn i calculated i could reach around 80 AC if i could dual wield shields? With said AC nothing in MM could hit with anything less than crit hit!

7. Ok say you have all teh characters piggy back on a huge half orcs back if they made ride checks to make the "mount" avoid the hit would that count giving me a double cahnce to avoid being hit from all attacks?

8. say you poke your right eye out with a hot iron rod what kind of penalty would you take -2 con -2 dex or -2 cha or which two of those?

9. Lets say your character wanted to crucify everyone he meets how would you go about doing that liek what checks would that consist of and thigns like that if you could give those itd be most helpful!!

10. Lets say you really hated a PC and wanted to get rid of him permanently my idea is to kill him by crucifiction adn then throw him still on the crucifix into a bag of holding then open up a portable hole stand 15 feet away and throw teh bag into teh hole would anything short of divine intervention bring this character back? Or any other good ideas? I killed him before by walking up to his unconcious body and instead of healing it(im party cleric only one too) and smashed his skull in with my greatclub! BWAHAHAHHAHA

11. What kind of strength would be needed to carry two tower shields and use shield bash with both without penalty i mean a certain strength has to be able to do it!

12. Lets say im a huge half orc could i wrestle multiple medium sized creatures at once? adn if so what kind of penalty?

13. Ok so we are in worlds largest dungeon and im huge so i ahve hard time fitting in through doors and such but i have maul of titans it does times 3 damage to inanimate objects what kind of damage would that cause to said worlds largest dungeon walls im planning on making my own doors lol.

Yea thats about it plz put answers to these questions itll help us out a lot thx in advance adn if i think of any more ill come and put them in

Run through a spell and grammer checker

1. Ok, so lets say you are going for the dragon rider PrC. If you piggybacked a polymorphed dragon would that still count?

No, beocouse they are not a dragon.

2. Say you have a shield which you want to use as weapons so like do the weapon and armor statistics stack or are they separate so ill give example of what I want.

+5(def.) reflecting shield and +5(weapon) speedy defensive large steel shield in the same shield would they stack or could you only take one? This would equal a +19 bonus but I mean the two are different so what would it be?

Bonus of the same type don't stack

3. Lets say you are a huge half-orc wrestling cleric and you turn yourself into a quadruped with a graft would you get bonuses to your grapple?

No, only with more arms

4. If you are huge can you grapple say...a Colossal and if you win the roll would you really be able to grapple and pin said gargantuan creature it seems impossible yet technically I could according to rules idea just take minuses yes? No?

Yes, the rules say you can, after all, a halfling could pin a human.

5. Lets say you are a vampire could you channel positive energy as in healing spells since you are made through negative energy I mean there’s nothing saying you cant that I know of but you would it destroy you or not?

No rule say no, but good luck getting a evil god to grant you healing spells

6. Relating to question 2 could you dual wield said shields and use shield bash as your attack my current idea is paladin 10 dwarves defender 10 and I calculated I could reach around 80 AC if I could dual wield shields? With said AC nothing in MM could hit with anything less than critical hit!

Shield bonus do not stack

7. Ok say you have all the characters piggy back on a huge half orc's back if they made ride checks to make the "mount" avoid the hit would that count giving me a double chance to avoid being hit from all attacks?

The attack still hits the mount, and only works on attacks vs them, not you.

8. Say you poke your right eye out with a hot iron rod what kind of penalty would you take -2 con -2 Dex or -2 cha or which two of those?

You die with no save

9. Lets say your character wanted to crucify everyone he meets how would you go about doing that like what checks would that consist of and things like that if you could give those it would be most helpful!!

This is a bad idea

10. Lets say you really hated a PC and wanted to get rid of him permanently my idea is to kill him by crucifixion and then throw him still on the crucifix into a bag of holding then open up a portable hole stand 15 feet away and throw the bag into the hole would anything short of divine intervention bring this character back or any other good ideas? I killed him before by walking up to his unconscious body and instead of healing it (I am the party cleric, the only one too) and smashed his skull in with my great club! BWAHAHAHHAHA

See friends, see friends leave, see sad boy all alone :weep:

11. What kind of strength would be needed to carry two tower shields and use shield bash with both without penalty I mean certain strength has to be able to do it!

Carry yes, simple encomberance rules, weild, no they are too big.

12. Lets say I am a huge half orc could I wrestle multiple medium sized creatures at once? And if so what kind of penalty?

-20 for each creature

13. Ok so we are in worlds largest dungeon and I am huge so I have hard time fitting in through doors and such but I have maul of titans it does times 3 damage to inanimate objects what kind of damage would that cause to said worlds largest dungeon walls I am planning on making my own doors.

(Maul damage+STR+magic)*3

That’s about it please put answers to these questions it will help us out a lot thanks in advance and if I think of any more ill come and put them in

Next time run it through Word or something.

12-13-05, 04:39 AM 1. Ok so lets say you are going for the dragon rider PrC if you piggybacked a polymorphed dragon would that still count?No. Polymorph gives the altered creature the "type" of the new form; it is no longer a dragon.2. say you have a shield which u want to use as a weapon so like do the weapona dn armor statistics stack or are they seperate so ill give example of waht i want.

+5(def.) reflecting shield and +5(wep) speedy defensive large steel shield in the same shield would they stack or could you only take one? this woudl equal a +19 bonus but i mean teh two are different so what would it be?As far as I know, shields (even "bashing" shields cannot gain "weapon" enchantments. However, if they can, then the enhancement bonus applied to AC from the "defending" ability would stack, but not th basic "shield bonus."3. Lets say you are a huge half orc wrestling cleric and you turn yourself into a quadraped with a graft would you get bonuses to your grapple?Only if the graft increased your size, boosted your Strength, or explicitly granted a bonus to Grapple in its description.4. If you are huge can you grapple say.....a tarsque and if you win the roll would you really be able to grapple and pin said gargantuant creature it seems impossible yet technically i could according to rules ide just take minuses yes? no?Yes.5. Lets say you are a vampire could you channel positive energy as in healing spells since you are made through negative energy i mean theres nothing saying you cant that i know of but ya wouldt it destroy you or not?Well, living evil clerics channel negative energy without dying. So, assuming you're not prevented from channeling positive energy by other effects (such as the alignment/deity restrictions on what energy you channel), the vampire could indeed cast healing spells.6. realting to question 2 could you dual wield said shields and use shiled bash as your attack my current idea is pally 10 dwarven defender 10 adn i calculated i could reach around 80 AC if i could dual wield shields? With said AC nothing in MM could hit with anything less than crit hit!As described above, shield bonuses don't stack like that. There's nothing explicitly preventing you from dual-wielding shields in this fashion, but it's kinda dumb.[quotw]7. Ok say you have all teh characters piggy back on a huge half orcs back if they made ride checks to make the "mount" avoid the hit would that count giving me a double cahnce to avoid being hit from all attacks?[/quote]No. You could boost the half-orc's defenses like that, but the rider is still vulnerable.8. say you poke your right eye out with a hot iron rod what kind of penalty would you take -2 con -2 dex or -2 cha or which two of those?None of the above. You take a penalty to some skills - most notably Spot and Search. You might take a penalty to social skills such as Diplomacy and Bluff toward people who are swayed by appearances. You will also probably be stuck with a penalty to several other rolls for a while because of the pain, especially if you don't have proper healing.9. Lets say your character wanted to crucify everyone he meets how would you go about doing that liek what checks would that consist of and thigns like that if you could give those itd be most helpful!![quote]This is covered in Book of Vile Darkness. It is a DC 15 Profession(Executioner) check. The Escape Artist DC for extricating oneself is 28. See that book for more details.[quote]10. Lets say you really hated a PC and wanted to get rid of him permanently my idea is to kill him by crucifiction adn then throw him still on the crucifix into a bag of holding then open up a portable hole stand 15 feet away and throw teh bag into teh hole would anything short of divine intervention bring this character back? Or any other good ideas? I killed him before by walking up to his unconcious body and instead of healing it(im party cleric only one too) and smashed his skull in with my greatclub! BWAHAHAHHAHAA wish followed a resurrection or a true resurrection would still work.11. What kind of strength would be needed to carry two tower shields and use shield bash with both without penalty i mean a certain strength has to be able to do it!By the rules, you can't. Ask your DM.12. Lets say im a huge half orc could i wrestle multiple medium sized creatures at once? adn if so what kind of penalty?More or less. You'd have to grab and pin them one at a time (while each one of them would likely be assisting the primary target with Aid Another actions or more direct attacks). Then you coudl continue to grapple with the other targets at a cumulative -20 penalty.13. Ok so we are in worlds largest dungeon and im huge so i ahve hard time fitting in through doors and such but i have maul of titans it does times 3 damage to inanimate objects what kind of damage would that cause to said worlds largest dungeon walls im planning on making my own doors lol.It depends on the walls. See the Dungeon Masters Guide, p. 60. At most (5' thick unworked stone walls), it's 900 hp overcoming a Hardness of 8. Double that if it's magically treated. If the dungeon is man-made, the most likely "hardest" is reinforced masonry (180 hp, hardness 8), or double that if magically treated.

12-19-05, 04:55 PM I think you missed the most important question:
How can you type with boxing gloves on your hands?
Reading your post, it appears that you can't.

Anyway, I'm seeing a bit of misinformation here that I want to clear up.
2. say you have a shield which u want to use as a weapon so like do the weapona dn armor statistics stack or are they seperate so ill give example of waht i want.

+5(def.) reflecting shield and +5(wep) speedy defensive large steel shield in the same shield would they stack or could you only take one? this woudl equal a +19 bonus but i mean teh two are different so what would it be?
Yes, spiked shields can be given weapon enhancements. "An enhancement bonus on a spiked shield does not improve the effectiveness of a shield bash made with it, but a spiked shield can be made into a magic weapon in its own right." (SRD)

No, it will not be a bonus to your AC; one is an enhancement bonus to defense and one is an enhancement bonus to attack. You could, however, use that defending ability to transfer the +5 attack bonus to a bonus to AC which stacks with all others.

12-19-05, 05:43 PM The DMG has a variant on damage to body parts; the one for eyes says that one eye would give you -2 penalty to Spot, Search, Appraise, Alchemy, Forgery, Decipher Script, Open Lock, Disable Device, Craft, Sense Motive, and Spellcraft, as well as to Survival checks for tracking, initiative, dexterity checks, reflex saving throws, and the fact you can only see out one-half your normal vision. Taking out your eye as you described would most definitely make this permanent, so my suggestion is - don't. :rolleyes:

12-19-05, 11:19 PM Wow! Eek! Duuurrr!

What was your real question?
spoogemonkey
12-23-05, 02:54 PM ah.... the old poke-myself-in-the-eye gambit - clever!

I think you need to go for realism here. I suggest that, you, the person, poke yourself in the eye with a hot poker.... and see (feel?) exactly what percentage of damage you suffer.

Just trying to be helpful.

And the dual-shield bashing strategy will definately be an XP bonanza for you, I'm guessing. What DM wouldn't pass out bonuses for THAT?

I'm surprised that you haven't locked on to the half dragon/half Minotaur race with the assassin/battle Mage template to go with it? Couldn't you dual class into a cleric of Gruuuumsh to get infravision as well? Favored enemy = human!
