I'm curious to know if there's rules that should inform how I adjudicate attacks vs. invisible enemies. I've read the sections of the PHB on invisible and opportunity attacks but I might have missed something, and certainly might have missed an official ruling elsewhere. Examples (assuming the...

In my last session my players defeated a group of monsters. As a DM, I like to have my intelligen monsters use magic items as it makes a lot more sense than the players finding something and thinking "wow this would have hurt us!" There were two magic items used in this particular battle. The...

My group is planning to convert 3e characters. The trap-disabler of the group is likely going to be a 4th level human pirate-like fighter who multiclasses into rogue for Thievery. He'll likely have 16 Dexterity after conversion. So, his Thievery skill will be +12 (+5 trained + 3 dex + 2 levels...

When you make an Attack of Opportunity, does it have to be a basic melee attack, or can it be a special attack such as Trip? From the SRD: "An attack of opportunity is a single melee attack..." Does the use of melee attack in that context mean that the attack must be a "vanilla" attack, or that...

Anyone running a campaign in Farland? Is it any fun?

I've devised an alternate method of Saving Throw progression for my Will Power system that I'm happy with, and it could easily work in any system, so I'll post it here if anyone is looking for such a system. Feedback always appreciated. Goals: eliminate "weird bonus saves" for multiclassed...

Last night, our illusionist attempted to "squeeze" into the fighter's square and cast color spray at the enemy dire rats. While we found the rule about taking a combat penalty for squeezing, we didn't see anything about whether you can cast a spell while squeezing. We made something up, but I'm...

In the rules forum on this thread about the Arcane Archer the following comments were overheard: Grog: If you're playing 3.5, don't play an Arcane Archer. It's an utterly pointless class. Bow and arrow bonuses don't stack in 3.5, so the fact that the AA always shoots +whatever arrows is...

I was just looking at the Diamond Throne preview at www.montecook.com and looking at the map of the Diamond Throne, it strikes me as really strange that there is a river leading down from the Bitter Peaks that runs southeast and then effectively straight through another mountain range, the Elder...

Hi, I've put my Will Power supplement on the net! :) What is Will Power? It's my system of unified magic based on Will Points. Actually, it's more than a magic system, its got cool new concepts that allow non-spellcasters to use their Will Points in interesting ways, too, like Heroic Effort...

For the Will Power rules I am tinkering on, I am making a unified magic system, where there is no divine/arcane split in magic. To this end, I am looking for a document that lists divine spells with the school (and subschool) of magic that they belong, e.g. Cure Light Wounds (Conjuration...

It seems to me that the 3e experience point and levelling system is too generous. Just wondering if I am in the minority on this. Maybe this is an old topic, but I'm just getting into 3e now. -- Zerakon the Game Mage
