I was wondering if there is any official word on this: Could a lich cast personal-range spells on his phylactery, provided that certain limitations (such as only one contingency at any one time) apply to both him and his phylactery? Thanks ciaran

Any official word on how this would work? Does it double the creatures summoned? The "Same area" text confuses me... Thanks, ciaran

Mind Blank should counter Control Undead, should it not? What about Turn Undead? Thanks, ciaran

So, the major point in 3/3.5 that's bothered me is non-scaling parameters: spell resistance, save DCs, and effective class levels. Unearthed arcana addressed a bit of it with "Magic Rating" (a near-clone of the "Magical Might" concept I've seen here in House Rules). Here are some ideas I was...

Hello, I was wondering if there was a 3.5 equivalent for the Combine spell in 2e? Can clerics "join hands" to increase their levels a-la psionic Metaconcert? Thanks! ciaran

Does hardness overcome hardness? I am thinking this in the context of diamond cutting diamond and was wondering... ciaran

One of my particular additions to the wizard class for my Dark Sun game: Defiling Repertoire: A wizard is able to whet his arcane spellcasting ability, sharpening it in its versatility and destructiveness. A wizard may expand his defiling repertoire at 6th level and every six levels thereafter...

I wanted an opinion of the hivemind on this particular issue springing from my game: The last game, my players ran into two horsemen who were willing to share information they had (information the players would want) in exchange for "extracting" from one of the players. "Extraction" obtains...

The last time we played, a player brought up making items with two characters in the way that one character provides the spell and the other the feats. I ruled that this would not be possible since it would allow wizards to (ridiculously) making staves of healing, etc. Furthermore, all item...

Is a "Random Artefact Powers" table for 3.5 or 3.0 available somewhere? I really miss this from the 2.0 Encyclopaedia Magica......... Thanks! ciaran

Anyone else try to get Monster Ability Adjustments from their entries in the monster manuals? I have seen an official suggestion as to "subtract 10 from all the even scores" and "subtract 11 from all the odd ones"... doing this to the Bladeling from Monster Manual II gives me +2 Dex only...

Can you take levels in other classes freely while progressing in a PrC? I know it's a stupid question. Just tell me! :) ciaran

Anyone use any House Rules related to this? Do you let them use a Wis bonus or something similar? Curious as to your thoughts... I don't like the idea of my Death Knight getting powdered after a crappy save. Yeah, yeah, I know I can buy him items, but I was wondering if anyone else had some...

Could someone explain to me why casting on the defensive is an option at all? Why wouldn't you do it all the time? And if you would (while threatened) then you always have a constant % chance of failure that sucks at lower levels but is inconsequential at high ones. Correct me if I'm wrong...

What happens if restoration is cast on a character who has gained a level or two after having lost levels? ciaran

I am looking at class-ness and cross-class-ness for the core classes in 3.5 PHB. Why do you think that they have things like: * Use Rope being CC for fighters, same for Knowledge (dungeoneering) * All knowledges being in class for wizards * All but one being CC for the sorceror These choices...

Anyone know why they eliminated aging attacks in 3e? I am considering restoring these abilities to ghosts. Anything I should be wary of before I do? ciaran

Is having only 1 spell per level in a domain a req'd or necessary thing? Can I have 5 per level? The domains in 3.5 phb seem to follow this rule... ciaran

I understand what they're trying to do with the uniform to-hit and saving throw progression (trying to preserve the same difference between good and bad to-hits and saving throws), but it's too klunky (because you have less of a reason to be an epic level monk... why should it make a difference...

Could anyone try and give me a price breakdown of one of the stat books (Gainful exercise +1, for example)? I don't see how one can cost 27,500 gp when gloves of Dex +1 would be about 1,000 gp.... Are they factoring in caster levels for the wish/miracle? If so, then the cost is insanely high and...
