If wights transform their victims (slain with energy drain) into wights, then why isn't there a template? i.e. like vampires. If you've got some musclebound 20th-lvl fighter who changes into a wight, he immediately becomes a wimp...

Let's say a wizard casts persistent image and creates an image of a parked wagon. Is there a way to get a save simply by looking at the wagon? I mean, its not like a person or creature who must constantly be doing something to appear real - it's a wagon. I realize there is a save if the wagon...

p.61 of the DMG states a 2-inch iron door has 60 hp. Is that per inch or per 2-inch door? The reason I ask is that p. 144 of the DMG states bronze doors have 20 hp per inch of thickness (and stone has 15 hp per inch). This seems to indicate that the HP on Table 3-10 should be per inch but I...

I'm sure I've seen this somewhere. Anyone know where?

What happens if the caster dies? The duplicate is under the absolute control of the caster and cannot advance in ability. Does it even matter if the caster dies? Does it become free-willed?

I was just looking at a swarm of bats and I just don't get it. 5,000 in a 10x10 area?!? 5,000!!! The average hp for the swarm is 13 (IIRC), which isn't very much even with the 50% dam from slashing & piercing weapons. It's quite possible for a fighter to deal that in one shot. 5,000 bats in...

I just came up with a good trap idea. Picture a fairly large room in which the floor is covered in thousands of loose nails (not affixed to the floor). The adventurers enter and are probably a little disturbed the nails. Perhaps they prod them with a pole to make sure the floor is solid. When...

I don't have my PH with me. When a character is restored with a Raise Dead spell, how much xp does he have? Was it 1 point above minimum or midway between levels?

What's a good creature for a Vampire to summon with a Lesser Planar Ally spell? It's a subterranean adventure and I'm looking for something that a vampire would be inclined to summon... Hmm, maybe a Nightmare or perhaps a Fiendish Rust Monster?

Longsword +1, Undead Bane, wielder gains benefits of Death Ward spell for duration of combat against undead opponents only (i.e. the wielder is not immune to a Finger of Death spell cast by a living cleric). The sword can only be wielded by a Cleric of a campaign-specific deity. Base price =...

Shoot me an email: fenris_wolff@hotmail.com D&D 3.5, ongoing campaign, meet every other Sunday afternoon.

This seems a little weird. I've got an encounter with a bunch of ghosts, including one who was a cleric and can cast deeper darkness. Ghosts have darkvision but I just discovered to my chagrin that it doesn't apply to darkness spells. So the ghosts would have a 20% miss chance?!? Seems a little...

Dispel Magic is listed as one of the spells Hallow can make permanent for one year. How would this work? Is there a check made against every magical effect that enters the area? Or one per character? What is someone leaves and comes back in?

I just read the rules for mass arrow fire in the Complete Warrior. They are a little odd, but quite usable and very easy/efficient (it gets odd if you have a 20th-lvl commander and a bunch of 1st-lvl commoners...). But my question is this: shouldn't there be an option to cover a smaller area...

How do you store your WotC minis? I realize they're easy to fix when they bend, but I just can't see myself dumping a couple hundred minis in a box...

MM states it functions as a 4th-lvl spell. 4th-lvl!?!?! So its summoned creatures only stick around for 4 rounds!?!?! Am I missing something? It casts spells as a 13th-lvl caster yet its summoning ability only functions as a 4th-lvl spell?

Will WotC be making gargantuan and/or colossal minis? (Sorry, wrong forum. Can a mod move this to General Discussion?)

Anyone know a good source for paper templates that I can print out and use as bases for large/huge/gargantuan/colossal creatures?

I want to throw a battle with 50+ hobgoblins (normal) against the party (6 12th-lvl characters). I realize that they aren't worth any xp due to their low CR. But considering that there are 50 of them, should they be worth something? I don't want to give them levels or templates, I just want a...

I read a post that told how to re-mold the new WotC minis that had bent out of shape. Can anyone direct me to it or report how it's done...
