Does anyone know if there's an official formula for deciding spell resistance for dragons? Looking at the SRD it doesn't seem to be x number + CR.

I have a few templates I've made that are the result of Transmutation Magic. At what Spell Level should they be allowed to bestow a template on someone? For Templates that are curses that lower CR, at what spell level should they be permanent until dispelled?

Jester's Realm / New guys thread
« on: September 08, 2015, 10:00:26 PM »
The lot of you have traveled to the fabulous flying city of Serranian for various reasons of your own, and to make money for the moment have applied at unemployment services for a job in an Adventurers Guild. Some of these Guilds can be kind of skeevy, some have blind fanatics, and some can be decent people. You're all individually given the address of a local building, and arrive to find warring crowds of protesters out front. On one side are some fairly sketchy individuals with signs saying 'Undead Rights Nao!"
On the other are are variety of people you recognize as fanatics belonging to one of various religions screaming "KILL THE GHOST WHORES!" without a trace of irony. Watching over all this are bemused members of the local Guard who occasionally kneecap anyone who gets to far out of line.
Time to March in and introduce yourselves!

Oslecamo's Improved Monster Classes / Mantidfly
« on: September 03, 2015, 07:57:16 PM »
Request from Psysama, based of Squeedge's Art. http://squeedgeart.tumblr.com/ massive wip
MANTIDFLY
"NO I AM NOT A WASP GODDAMMIT!!"
Normally Mantidflies are wasp mimics that look like some sort of hellish combp between a mantis and a wasp with lacy bug wings. This is the semi-humanoid version.
Class Skills
The Mantidfly's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis).
Skills Points at Each Level : 6 + int
Hit Dice: d6
Weapon Proficiencies: Mantidflies are proficient with their natural weapons, but no armor or shields.
Mantidfly Body: The Mantidfly loses all other racial traits and bonuses and gains vermin traits (Basically immunity to mind affecting effects and darkvision 60 feet) except that it retains an Int score. It is a medium sized vermin with a base speed of 40 feet. It has two natural claw attacks dealing 1d6+str mod damage each, and it takes no penalty for attacking with both claws in a full attack.
It does not have hands capable of fine manipulation, and cannot wield a weapon in either set of claws.
It also gains a natural armor bonus equal to 2+con modifier.
Bughuggers (Ex): If the Mantidfly hits an opponent with a claw attack, it deals normal damage and can attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. In addition the Mantidfly ignores freedom of movement effects on his opponents.
Climb (Ex): The Mantidfly gains a Climb Speed equal to it's base land speed.
Powerful Claws (Ex): At second level, the Mantidflies claw attacks do+1/2 HD extra damage. If it scores a critical with a claw it adds 1,5 times his strength modifier instead of just 1. Additionally, it gains a racial bonus on grapple checks equal to its HD.
Wide-Angle Vision (Ex): At 2nd Level the Mantidfly gains a +4 Racial Bonus to Spot and Search Checks, and cannot be flanked.
Constrict (Ex): With a successful grapple check, a Mantidfly can crush a grabbed opponent, dealing damage equal to its claw damage. It may constrict each grabbed opponent once per round, including the round it grabs the opponent.
Sneaky (Ex): At 3rd Level the Mantidfly may always Take 10 on a Hide Check.
Sneak Attack (Ex): At Levels 3 and 6 the Mantidfly gains +1d6 Sneak Attack (this is identical to the Rogue Ability listed in the PHB).
Ambush (Ex): At 4th Level if the Mantidfly makes a successful melee attack that would allow it to use it's Sneak Attack Dice, it may forego using it's Sneak Attack Dice to make an Ambush attack. The exact effect of an Ambush attack varies depending on which of the options listed below you choose at 4th Level. You may choose an additional option at 7th Level:
Cripple Arm: The victim must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus Str Modifier), or it's arm becomes unusable. It cannot be used to hold anything, and drops whatever it is holding now. Additionally the victim takes a penalty equal to your Str Modifier to Climb, Craft, Disable Device, Disguise, Escape Artist, Forgery, Heal, Open Lock, Ride, Sleight of Hand, Swim, Tumble and Use Rope Checks. If both arms become Crippled, then use of these Skills is impossible, and he is effectively defenseless as well, being unable to wield a weapon at all and taking a -2 Circumstance Penalty to AC. This effect can be removed by any of the following spells:Cure Serious Wounds, Cure Critical Wounds, Restoration, Greater Restoration, or Heal. If no magic is available then once the damage from this attack has healed fully the victim regains the use of his arm, and this condition is removed.
Cripple Leg: The victim must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus Str Modifier), or it's leg becomes unusable and it cannot walk, falling prone immediately. The victim may crawl at a speed of 5 feet per round. This effect can be removed by any of the following spells:Cure Serious Wounds, Cure Critical Wounds, Restoration, Greater Restoration, or Heal. If no magic is available then once the damage from this attack has healed fully the victim regains the use of his leg, and this condition is removed.
Silence: The victim must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus Str Modifier), or it becomes mute, unable to cast spells with a verbal component. Additionally he gains a penalty equal to your Str Modifier to all Skill Checks which might require the use of your voice. This effect can be removed by any of the following spells: Cure Serious Wounds, Cure Critical Wounds, Restoration, Greater Restoration, or Heal. If no magic is available then once the damage from this attack has healed fully the victim regains the use of his voice, and this condition is removed.
Abdominal Wound: (Prerequisite: 8th Level) The victim must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus Str Modifier), or the victim becomes Nauseated until this condition is fixed. This effect can be removed by any of the following spells: Cure Serious Wounds, Cure Critical Wounds, Restoration, Greater Restoration, or Heal. If no magic is available then once the damage from this attack has healed fully the victim regains the use of himself, and this condition is removed.
Blind: The victim must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus Str Modifier), or he is permanently Blinded. This effect can be removed by any of the following spells: Remove Blindness/Deafness, Cure Serious Wounds, Cure Critical Wounds, Restoration, Greater Restoration, or Heal. Unlike other forms of Ambush this requires magic to fix.
Winged Flight (Ex): At 5th Level the Mantidfly gains a Flight speed equal to it's base land speed, with a Maneuverability of Poor.
Improved Flight (Ex): At 8th Level the Mantidflies Flight speed doubles, and Maneuverability increases to Average.

Oslecamo's Improved Monster Classes / Dire Rat
« on: August 06, 2015, 03:51:48 AM »
DIRE RAT
"SKREEEEEEE!"
Y'all are one big ass fuckin' rat.
BECOMING A DIRE RAT
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Race: Awakened Rat
Class Skills
The Dire Rat's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Local)(Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str)
Skills Points at Each Level : 8 + int
Hit Dice: d8
Weapon Proficiencies: Dire Rats gain no new weapon or armor proficiencies.
Dire Rat Body: At 1st Level you increase to Size Category Small. Land speed increases to 30 ft., with Climb and Swim speeds being half that of land speed. You gain +2 Str.
Improved Rat Race: The abilities you gained from your rat race continue to improve, and you may choose 1 from the following list (must have the appropriate rat race as a prerequisite):
Companion You gain the benefits of the Improved Feint Feat whether you meet the prerequisites or not. If you successfully Feint in combat, one Ally who is adjacent to the same foe ignores his Dexterity Bonus to AC as well.
Plague Carrier You no longer need to use a Swift Action each turn to maintain your disease bite, but are still only allowed 1 disease at a time.
Flexible Body You may now use your Dexterity Modifier in place of your Strength Modifier for Trip or Grapple Checks.
Reaving Rodent You can make one additional bite attack per round, but the second attack is -2 to hit. You may do this as part of a normal or Full Attack.
Running Rat The Rat doubles their Dex Bonus to AC when using the Withdraw or Run action or when under a Fear effect.
Tough Metabolism The Rat can resist magical and unusual attacks with great fortitude. If he makes a successful Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping Rat does not gain the benefit of this ability.
Versatile Paws You gain a +2 Competence Bonus on Disable Device, Open Lock, and Sleight of Hand Checks.
Inspire Heebie Jeebies (Ex): At third Level, when you pursue a certain action, an opponent must make a Willpower Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Cha Modifier) or be Shaken for 2d6 rounds. If the Save is successful the opponent is immune to your Heebie Jeebies for 24 hours. The action required depends on your rat race:
Companion As a Companion Rat you must Feint in combat, successful or not.
Plague Carrier As a Plague Carrier, you must make a Bite attack, successful or not.
Flexible Body As a Flexible Rat you must make a Trip or Grapple Check.
Reaving Rodent As a Reaving Rodent, you must make a Bite attack, successful or not.
Tough Metabolism As a Tough Rat you must succeed on a Fort Save.
Versatile Paws As a Versatile Rat, you must make a weapon attack, successful or not.
At 6th Level, if you have chosen a second Rat Race via the Rat Reputation Feat, you may choose to pick a second way you can use this ability. In other words if you had Reaving Rodent and Tough Metabolism you could inspire fear via Bite attacks or Fortitude Saves. If not, then when you meet the prerequisites for causing a Willpower Save against your Heebie Jeebies, all opponents within 30 ft. must make a Save, not just one.
At 9th Level if you have a 3rd Rat Race, you may choose a third option for causing Fear. If you don't have a third race you may cause an area of effect fear as per the Level 6 ability. Optionally you may choose to make opponents who fail their Willpower Save Frightened for 1d6 rounds instead of Shaken.
Direr Rat Body: At 4th Level you increase to Size Category Medium. Land speed increases to 40 ft., with Climb and Swim speeds being half that of land speed. You gain +2 Con.
Greater Rat Race: The abilities you gained from your Improved rat race continue to improve, and you may choose 1 from the following list (must have the appropriate rat race as a prerequisite), or from the previous list:
Companion When riding an Ally and using them as Cover, you ma emerge from cover, bite an adjacent foe in melee, and retreat back into Cover as a Full Attack Action.
Plague Carrier You may now carry a number of diseases equal to your (Con Modifier +1). You may switch between them once per round as a Swift Action.
Flexible Body You no longer lose your Dexterity Bonus to AC while Grappling.
Reaving Rodent You can make two additional bite attacks per round, but the second attack is -2 to hit, and the third is at -4. You may do this as part of a normal or Full Attack.
Running Rat The Rat doubles their Dex Bonus to Initiative Checks when below half hit points or when under a Fear effect.
Tough Metabolism You may now use your Level 2 ability even when sleeping or unconscious.
Versatile Paws You may always Take 10 on Disable Device, Open Lock, and Sleight of Hand Checks, even if circumstances would normally prevent you from doing so.
Direst Rat Body: At 4th Level you increase to Size Category Large. Land speed increases to 50 ft., with Climb and Swim speeds being half that of land speed. You gain +1 Str and Con.
Superior Rat Race: The abilities you gained from your Greater rat race continue to improve, and you may choose 1 from the following list (must have the appropriate rat race as a prerequisite), or from the previous lists:
Companion When an opponent attacks an Ally who shares your space (or is adjacent to both of you), you get a free Attack of Opportunity against that Opponent.
Plague Carrier All diseases you carry can now infect opponents with a mere contact as opposed to an injury, and a simple melee touch attack is sufficient to make them Save vs infection. In addition, once per round as a Swift Action you may emanate disease in a cloud as it oozes from your pores, and opponents who are adjacent to you must save or contract the disease as long as they remain adjacent.
Flexible Body You now continue to threaten adjacent squares while Grappling.
Reaving Rodent You gain a Bonus to attack and damage rolls with your bite attacks equal to your Con Modifier.
Running Rat The Rat can move and take a Full Attack Action when below half hit points or when under a Fear effect.
Tough Metabolism You can successfully negate the damage from any attack once per round as an Immediate Action by making a successful Fortitude Save (Save DC is equal to damage taken). You do not get the benefits of this ability if you are unconscious or sleeping.
Versatile Paws You may use a Sleight of Hand Check instead of Bluff when Feinting in combat. You may also Feint as a Swift Action.
Rat King: You gain Leadership as a Bonus Feat, with a +4 Bonus to your Leadership Score, but all your Cohorts and followers must be Awakened Rats. All Awakened Rat Allies within 30 ft. of you gain a +2 Morale Bonus on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks.

10.+7 +3 +3 +7 Rat KingWeapon Proficiencies: Dire Rats gain no new weapon or armor proficiencies.
Dire Rat Body: At 1st Level you increase to Size Category Small. Land speed increases to 30 ft., with Climb and Swim speeds being half that of land speed. You gain +2 Str.
Improved Rat Race: The abilities you gained from your rat race continue to improve, and you may choose 1 from the following list (must have the appropriate rat race as a prerequisite):
Companion You gain the benefits of the Improved Feint Feat whether you meet the prerequisites or not. If you successfully Feint in combat, one Ally who is adjacent to the same foe ignores his Dexterity Bonus to AC as well.
Plague Carrier You no longer need to use a Swift Action each turn to maintain your disease bite, but are still only allowed 1 disease at a time.
Flexible Body You may now use your Dexterity Modifier in place of your Strength Modifier for Trip or Grapple Checks.
Reaving Rodent You can make one additional bite attack per round, but the second attack is -2 to hit. You may do this as part of a normal or Full Attack.
Running Rat The Rat doubles their Dex Bonus to AC when using the Withdraw or Run action or when under a Fear effect.
Tough Metabolism The Rat can resist magical and unusual attacks with great fortitude. If he makes a successful Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping Rat does not gain the benefit of this ability.
Versatile Paws You gain a +2 Competence Bonus on Disable Device, Open Lock, and Sleight of Hand Checks.
Inspire Heebie Jeebies (Ex): At third Level, when you pursue a certain action, an opponent must make a Willpower Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Cha Modifier) or be Shaken for 2d6 rounds. If the Save is successful the opponent is immune to your Heebie Jeebies for 24 hours. The action required depends on your rat race:
Companion As a Companion Rat you must Feint in combat, successful or not.
Plague Carrier As a Plague Carrier, you must make a Bite attack, successful or not.
Flexible Body As a Flexible Rat you must make a Trip or Grapple Check.
Reaving Rodent As a Reaving Rodent, you must make a Bite attack, successful or not.
Tough Metabolism As a Tough Rat you must succeed on a Fort Save.
Versatile Paws As a Versatile Rat, you must make a weapon attack, successful or not.
At 6th Level, if you have chosen a second Rat Race via the Rat Reputation Feat, you may choose to pick a second way you can use this ability. In other words if you had Reaving Rodent and Tough Metabolism you could inspire fear via Bite attacks or Fortitude Saves. If not, then when you meet the prerequisites for causing a Willpower Save against your Heebie Jeebies, all opponents within 30 ft. must make a Save, not just one.
At 9th Level if you have a 3rd Rat Race, you may choose a third option for causing Fear. If you don't have a third race you may cause an area of effect fear as per the Level 6 ability. Optionally you may choose to make opponents who fail their Willpower Save Frightened for 1d6 rounds instead of Shaken.
Direr Rat Body: At 4th Level you increase to Size Category Medium. Land speed increases to 40 ft., with Climb and Swim speeds being half that of land speed. You gain +2 Con.
Greater Rat Race: The abilities you gained from your Improved rat race continue to improve, and you may choose 1 from the following list (must have the appropriate rat race as a prerequisite), or from the previous list:
Companion When riding an Ally and using them as Cover, you ma emerge from cover, bite an adjacent foe in melee, and retreat back into Cover as a Full Attack Action.
Plague Carrier You may now carry a number of diseases equal to your (Con Modifier +1). You may switch between them once per round as a Swift Action.
Flexible Body You no longer lose your Dexterity Bonus to AC while Grappling.
Reaving Rodent You can make two additional bite attacks per round, but the second attack is -2 to hit, and the third is at -4. You may do this as part of a normal or Full Attack.
Running Rat The Rat doubles their Dex Bonus to Initiative Checks when below half hit points or when under a Fear effect.
Tough Metabolism You may now use your Level 2 ability even when sleeping or unconscious.
Versatile Paws You may always Take 10 on Disable Device, Open Lock, and Sleight of Hand Checks, even if circumstances would normally prevent you from doing so.
Direst Rat Body: At 4th Level you increase to Size Category Large. Land speed increases to 50 ft., with Climb and Swim speeds being half that of land speed. You gain +1 Str and Con.
Superior Rat Race: The abilities you gained from your Greater rat race continue to improve, and you may choose 1 from the following list (must have the appropriate rat race as a prerequisite), or from the previous lists:
Companion When an opponent attacks an Ally who shares your space (or is adjacent to both of you), you get a free Attack of Opportunity against that Opponent.
Plague Carrier All diseases you carry can now infect opponents with a mere contact as opposed to an injury, and a simple melee touch attack is sufficient to make them Save vs infection. In addition, once per round as a Swift Action you may emanate disease in a cloud as it oozes from your pores, and opponents who are adjacent to you must save or contract the disease as long as they remain adjacent.
Flexible Body You now continue to threaten adjacent squares while Grappling.
Reaving Rodent You gain a Bonus to attack and damage rolls with your bite attacks equal to your Con Modifier.
Running Rat The Rat can move and take a Full Attack Action when below half hit points or when under a Fear effect.
Tough Metabolism You can successfully negate the damage from any attack once per round as an Immediate Action by making a successful Fortitude Save (Save DC is equal to damage taken). You do not get the benefits of this ability if you are unconscious or sleeping.
Versatile Paws You may use a Sleight of Hand Check instead of Bluff when Feinting in combat. You may also Feint as a Swift Action.
Rat King: You gain Leadership as a Bonus Feat, with a +4 Bonus to your Leadership Score, but all your Cohorts and followers must be Awakened Rats. All Awakened Rat Allies within 30 ft. of you gain a +2 Morale Bonus on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks.

TIme for a new pc. So time to ask what sort of cpu/hard drive/etc i need.
It will need to run windows 7 due to work requirements.
I need it to be able to have Open Office Writer and Calc running simultaneous with multiple tabs open in both IE and firefox.
Will be doing some minor online gaming such as Bloon's TOwer Defense and Command and Conquer Tiberium Alliances.
Also considering getting an SD for the first time

Oslecamo's Improved Monster Classes / Adorable Creature
« on: May 31, 2015, 07:53:51 PM »
ADORABLE CREATURE
"Purrrrrrr..."
Adorable Creatures are almost supernaturally cute versions of a normal member of their species.
BECOMING AN ADORABLE CREATURE
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Skills: Perform (Cuteness) 3 ranks
Special: Fear and adorableness are incompatible. You lose the features of this class on any round you use any Kind of Fear effect. f you have Frightful Presence or some permanent sort of fear causing ability you also cannot take this class.
Class Skills
The Adorable Creature's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Gather Information (Cha), Handle Animal (Cha), Hide (Dex), Perform (Cuteness)(Cha), and Sense Motive (Wis).
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int
Hit Dice: d6
Code: [Select]
[b] BAB Fort Ref Will Abilities[/b]
1. +0 +0 +2 +2 Goofery Antics
2. +1 +0 +3 +3 OMG IT'S SO FLUFFY!
3. +2 +1 +3 +3 Plz to Not Hit Fwuffy
Weapon Proficiencies: An Adorable Creature gains no new armor or weapon proficiencies.
Goofery Antics (Ex): An Adorable creature with 3 or more ranks in Perform (Cuteness) can use their cute antics to cause one or more creaturess to become Fascinated with them. Each creature to be Fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the Adorable creature, and able to pay attention to him. The Adorable one must also be able to see the creature. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the ability from working. For every three Hit Dice an Adorable creature attains beyond 1st, he can target one additional creature with a single use of this ability.
To use the ability, an Adorable creature makes a Perform (Cuteness) check. His check result is the DC for each affected creature’s Will save against the effect. If a creature’s saving throw succeeds, the Adorable beastie cannot attempt to Fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and watches you play, taking no other actions, for as long as the Adorable creature continues to play and concentrate (up to a maximum of 1 round per Hit Die). While Fascinated, a target takes a -4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Listen and Spot checks. Any potential threat requires the Adorable creature to make another Perform check and allows the Fascinated creature a new saving throw against a DC equal to the new Perform check result.
Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a ranged weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect. Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability.
Optionally you may use this Ability to endear yourself to one or more creatures. Once you have 12 ranks in Perform (Cuteness) you can make a Perform (Cuteness) Check, and your Check result is the Save DC for each affected creatures Will Save. If a creature’s saving throw succeeds, the Adorable beastie cannot attempt to Fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature is affected as if by a Charm Monster spell (Caster Level equals your Hit Dice). Unlike normal you do not need to know the targets language, you gain it's trust by sheer adorableness (and maybe some purring). You can't really make demands of the Charmed creature other than food, shelter, and other pet type things, but affected creatures will not harm you. This effect lasts 24 hours, and is an Enchantment (Charm) Mind-Affecting ability.
You may use your Goofery Antics once per day per Adorable Creature Level.
OMG IT'S SO FLUFFY! (Ex): Your cuteness is strong. Effectively, you permanently have the benefits of a Sanctuary spell as an Extraordinary Ability (Caster Level is equal to it's HD). Save DC is Cha Based. Save DC increases by +2 when you're sleeping (cute critters are always cuter when they're sleeping). If you attack someone you lose the benefits of this ability for the rest of the encounter.
Plz to Not Hit Fwuffy (): Due to other beings being subconsciously unwilling to harm you, you gain a Deflection Bonus to AC and a Circumstance Bonus to Saving Throws equal to your Charisma Modifier (minimum +1).
