Owlbear is in the SRD, and free to use. There are some words in Goblins that are not free to use however, like Yuan-Ti.

What I haven't figured out is, what kind of magic is it that the Kin with the many heads is using? Is she really morphing part of herself into those heads, or is that some kind of psi power, giving the opponent the impression?

As the Altsplanation stated, "Dellyn Goblinslayer, who has an interest in torture and experimentation, has grafted various monster heads onto kin, turning her into a terrifying spectacle."Changes_everything wrote:What I haven't figured out is, what kind of magic is it that the Kin with the many heads is using?

So is "rust monster".Alarikun wrote:Owlbear is in the SRD, and free to use.

So that makes 2 people that didn't pay attention to Altspanations.
The only one to pay attention to what happens in Goblins.

titles that I'd have gone for: Heads up! or maybe Mmmm, nom nom nom!
Man, Dellyn's perversities knew no bounds, I guess he's lucky that his Kin didn't keep his head after she broke free - looking at her she may have eaten it though.

I think that the only titles I could have really come up with after seeing that page would have involved too many four letter works for this forum. I probably would have gone with something like "Gah" or something generic like that instead.

Digging the ninja, too! Looks like a certain someone from Tekken. Also - when does the Barbarian Rage end? Cause I'm guessing it does not last forever. And what then?

Re: Apr - 9 - 2013 - How many faces is that?
"A barbarian can fly into a rage a certain number of times per day. In a rage, a barbarian temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength, a +4 bonus to Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but he takes a -2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase in Constitution increases the barbarianÔÇÖs hit points by 2 points per level, but these hit points go away at the end of the rage when his Constitution score drops back to normal. (These extra hit points are not lost first the way temporary hit points are.) While raging, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except for Balance, Escape Artist, Intimidate, and Ride), the Concentration skill, or any abilities that require patience or concentration, nor can he cast spells or activate magic items that require a command word, a spell trigger (such as a wand), or spell completion (such as a scroll) to function. He can use any feat he has except Combat Expertise, item creation feats, and metamagic feats. A fit of rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the characterÔÇÖs (newly improved) Constitution modifier. A barbarian may prematurely end his rage. At the end of the rage, the barbarian loses the rage modifiers and restrictions and becomes fatigued (-2 penalty to Strength, -2 penalty to Dexterity, canÔÇÖt charge or run) for the duration of the current encounter (unless he is a 17th-level barbarian, at which point this limitation no longer applies).WastesTime wrote:Digging the ninja, too! Looks like a certain someone from Tekken. Also - when does the Barbarian Rage end? Cause I'm guessing it does not last forever. And what then?
A barbarian can fly into a rage only once per encounter. At 1st level he can use his rage ability once per day. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, he can use it one additional time per day (to a maximum of six times per day at 20th level). Entering a rage takes no time itself, but a barbarian can do it only during his action, not in response to someone elseÔÇÖs action."
So rage lasts at least 5 rounds plus whatever his base CON modifier is (likely at least +2... so 7 roundsish?).

So he has what, 4 turns/pages to go? I generously think that's only going to get him half-way through this fight.

MM's COULD be much higher than that... you know how that kid rolls... my example was of a generic barbarian.

He traded his ability to infer things from context.Fen wrote:It took me two glances to catch, but that's some fancy sword handling by Minmax. He grabs it with his right hand, gets bitten by the head-lined goblins, drops it, snags it with his left hand, cuts off the arm of the multi-headed Kin, swivels to block head-line Altmax, then cuts through a head (still biting him despite the severed arm) on the backswing. I wonder if switching hands like that is a free action for him?
IIRC MM took a feat that lets him rage twice a day and he already did it once right before hitting the river of healing potions. Once it runs out Kin and Forgath better come back with some magic weapons to save his 3rd level butt or he's toast.

Not trying to show off, just wasn't sure if it was "okay" to say Owlbear, as it's one of the more iconic D&D monsters.gamecreator wrote:That's the way to say "owlbear" and show off at the same time.
Whoever invented the C&D letter needs to be fed still-living to the creatures which may or may not be known as Owlbears, depending on whether we'd get sued if they were.

I don't think anybody answered this yet, but Complains actually chose a class during the battle for the warcamp. And right after that he fought Minmax while holding the Shield of Wonder.SamWiser wrote:I like how Names is raging, even though he can't really do anything. He can bite, I guess like Thaco is, but that would mean that people would have to come to him. Also, how does he have that class ability? The GAP didn't choose classes until after the battle for the warcamp, and Minmax beheaded them during, in this reality. They would never have the reason/ability.

Is that WOT? Because Complains didn't even think he'd be a barbarian until the party mocked his anger issues postbattle.RocketScientist wrote:I don't think anybody answered this yet, but Complains actually chose a class during the battle for the warcamp.

I think you might be confused with the sword's IME and/or Complains being quasi-ousted from the clan by wielding the items inside the poorly locked chest.
