Simple question: do you get an extra attack from Improved Trip after tripping someone with the Knockdown feat in 3.5? And from the 3.0 Sword and Fist Errata concerning Knockdown:

To what forms does the involuntary change that afflicted lycanthropes must undergo when do lose a quarter of their hit points apply? 1. All the forms? 2. Only the original and hybrid form? 3. Only the original form. Most of the text seems to be written from the perspective of the lycanthrope...

I am a little bit confused about using lances on horseback during a charge: From this it becomes clear that it is the mount that charges, not its rider. But then: This means that a normal warhorse (with a reach of 5 ft.) will end up in base-to-base contact with an opponent and can then make...

All this talking about Titan Fighting and racial dodge bonuses made me wonder about a character I made some time ago, which was designed to be effective against giants and large creatures. Can you determine its AC? (consider it a contest)... Eadi Arumdal The Giantbreaker Male Gnome...

As the campaign progressed my players have become ever more anxious about conflict and their PCs try to avoid combat whenever possible. It is now not uncommon to play one or two sessions without any combat at all. When they do enter combat, its often amidst screams of "we can never win, we are...

Recently, while we were in Acheron, our party's fighter was sent back to his home plane by a Dispel Good. We would like to try and get him back, but we realized we had no idea where on his home plane he would end up in. So were do creatures get set if they are banished? The last spot they were...

I have always wondered how exactly one is supposed to handle opposed rolls with combat maneuvers such as Grapple and Disarm. What penalties does one apply to the roll? How often can one make an opposed roll? For example: If you use Combat Expertise to lower your attack roll and raise your AC...

COMBAT INSIGHT [GENERAL] Benefit: When you receive an attack of opportunity, you may make the attack of opportunity on any opponent within the area you threaten. Normal: A character without this feat can only make attacks of opportunity against the target that provoked it. A fighter may select...

Constructs are, by virtue of their type, immune to raise dead, curing spells etc. But if a construct is destroyed, is it still a construct, or is it now an object? If it is an object, then can you repair it with the 2nd level Cleric spell, Make Whole? And since constructs do not have a 'soul'...

I recently made a crazy Chatka throwing Ranger3/SwashBuckler3/Master Thrower 5/Exotic Weapon Master 1 Thri-kreen build. Do you get synergy out of the Insightful Strike and Weak Spot abilities? In other words: do you get to make ranged touch attacks and add your intelligence modifier (but not...

In my experience PCs in 3e are leveling to quickly using the default XP rewards. I have this experience both as a DM and a player. Many times I see characters level again before they have actually used a feat, spell, magic item they acquired or a skill they raised since the last time they...

We are having a bit of disagreement in our group about the workings of Tenser's Transformation in the epic levels. As the spell stands, a 25th level wizard casting it gets a +25 BAB and gets to add an epic attack bonus of +3 to that for a total of +28, while a 25th level fighter remains stuck at...

Hello all, Do you have any good suggestions for using limited wish? I think limited wish is a spell any self-respecting wizard should have prepared. It can deliver the right spell exactly when you need it, and often at a better speed than the duplicated spell. For example: Cleric-in-a-pinch...

I need some things about the 3rd level wizard spell Phantom Steed clarified. From the SRD: What kind of creature is this Phantom Steed? It has no Hit Dice or type. What are its saving throws? Can it be affected by spells? What are its ability scores? This is important for things like Bull...

I have always wondered where the gold goes when you create magic items, golems etc. I imagine you have to spent that much gold to get the right equipment, materials and ingredients to create your masterpiece. But if it is spent that way, the gold goes back into the local economy, right? What...

I always wondered why using poison should be evil. The Book of Exalted Deeds says it is evil because it causes undue suffering in the process of incapacitating or killing an opponent. Does this mean that casting a Cloudkill spell is an inherently evil act? Should Cloudkill and Poison spells get...

Just a quick question about the Book of Exalted Deeds. My DM says Exalted Feats do not require regular feat slots because they are given away by Celestials. I do not have my books here, but I never read the Exalted feats didn't take up any feat slots (and just can't believe that would be true)...

What are the Prestige Class options for a multiclass paladin/sorcerer in 3.5? I had expected the Book of Exalted Deeds to present at least one good PR for this multiclass combination, but I found none. I always liked the synergy between the Sorcerer's prime stat and the Paladin's Divine Grace...

Scenario: A 13th lvl wizard is wearing an Amulet of Health +4, he has cast statue on himself 1 hour ago and currently has 10 hp left. If he changes to his stone statue form, does the Amulet of Health cease to function (thereby bringing him to -16 hp and killing him)? What if the same wizard...

Scenario: A Lawful Good 13th lvl wizard uses a Limited Wish to duplicate the effect of the 5th lvl Cleric spell Righteous Might. Righteous Might from the SRD: Does the wizard gain DR 10/good, 10/evil, no DR, must he choose what DR he gains, is this dependent on alignment?
