Skie from the dragonlance series also Mirror (the blind silver i believe) also from dragonlance. in the campaign i'm in current contstanly running into Ganamede (a very old colossal red dragon) who i'm not sure is just a campaing dragon or legit dragon

thanks all. that helps quite a bit. i just have to make sure the DM doesn't give me a problem and for my part as a player, deciding on whether playing my usual dwarf which a dwarven cleric would be a first or playing as human or half elf since i want to take the warpriest prestige class (from complete divine)

maybe some one can help me. my group and I have a debate on whether the arcane spell failure from armor and shields affect clerics who cast divine spells. I myself say no it does not since clerics have proficiencies in all armors and most shields.

With all the books and everything containing different core classes and prestige classes, why should it matter if there are so many. the group I'm playing with, all except one play a character straight from the player's handbook. we only use the other books for feats, spells, and other similar things unless a prestige class or two is just what we want for our characters

for example, right now i'm playing a dwarven fighter. I took up the stonelord prestige class (from complete warrior) because it allowed me to go through my idea of what I wanted to do with my character (which was to have a dwarven fighter that was attuned with the earth allowing him to summon an earth elemental and to have other abilities related to the earth)
hey it worked since we were fighting two elder huge earth elementals, one of which I killed instanly by casting stoneshape on the bridge he was on dropping him over a thousand feet down (we were in the mountains exploring a dwarven complex)

Me I say if it's in both the Dragon magazine and in Races of Destiny, it would be up to the DM to decide if it's allowed and which one can be used. . the dm i play with is particular about if he allows anything from the dragon magazine especially since he limits which D&D books can be used

The game I believe was designed to have a balance of good, evil, and neutral creatures. orc and other goblinoid creatures just happen to be put into the evil group while humans got put into the good group. Beside if one wants to get technical about good and evil with D&D, look at the war being wage between the demons (or was it the devils, I could never get it straight) what would one classify that situation evil vs evil?
me I say who cares, I once played a goblin fighter that was chaotic neutral and an ogre that was chaotic good while facing several humans that were quite evil

I think a familiar can be useful in the right situation.right now one player has a drow ranger that has a deep dragon for a familiar which has helped us against some creatures. in a previous campaign, we had two sorcereres and a ranger gain a familiar that the dm had made up they were (yes a retarded name) dragonflies. but instead of basing them on the dragonflies of our world, they were small flying creatures similar to dragons each was a different color (red, black, white, etc) my charactr through the leadership feat obtained one (don't ask, the dm allowed since these creatures falled within that feat) we had two black dragonflies, one gold (which was mine)and one red

thanks all for all the input. I appreciate

Hey everyone. I'm still trying to create a new campaign and I'm trying to get some monsters into it. I have a couple of books containing monsters. Some of the monsters in these books have been converted into the 3.5 version through Monster Manual (MM), MMII, and MMIII.

What my question is, since some of the monsters that I want to use haven't been converted yet, does anyone know how to convert from v2.0 into v3.5 or where to find that information

the choice to allow the half minotaur/half lizardfolk is yours. If it is (with class levels) not stronger than the other PCs it should be fine if it fits withing your campaign. The group I'm playing with right now, one of the campaigns we just finished the DM would not allow a drow or derro because of all the drow and minotaur withing the campaign but did allow for an ogre which just died this past friday and a plane touched character which died at the hands of a lich

I don't remember his name but I had a dwarven thief. He wasn't the greatess but the best part about him was that he had a pair of gauntlets which had a dagger on each finger created into each for his weapons, but that didn't help when fighting a red dragon which I tried a dive onto its head. That was 15 years ago when I started playing. Since then I'm stying with my fighter class particularly dwarven since their easy to create and best for nighttime and underground campaigns (in my opinion )

Hey everyone.
I'm trying to create my own campaign world that I can test play with the gaming group I'm in. I've the world map drawn somewhat (landscape still needs to be done) two prestige classes made (the worg rider and the umbrol knight), and working on a normal class (this class can combine 2 or more spells into 1 spell). For extra character races, in addition to the normal, got orcs, kobold, goblin and hobgoblin goin. I know these are normal monsters. I'm also trying to create a playable race, the tree troll.
The problem is that I'm having troublewith the landscape (what goes next to each other, you know, desert, swamp, plains, mountain ranges that sort of thing) Also, having trouble with history of world (thinking of having war against vampire and werewolves like in the movie "Underworld" and the Dwarf Wars to explain the dwarves subraces)Not sure about diety involvement all though plan on allowing aspects from the Dragon magazine being used like the Article "The Infused"( not sure which issue it's in) which means some diety involvement.
In other words, I'm having trouble with the minor and some major details of the world building.
Any comments and/or ideas would be helpful and should I get any ideas that are used, work, and I do submit for publication, I would give credit where credit is do. Any significant ideas used would definately get some portion of payment should world ever be published.
