    Changed email address, not getting confirmation email

    Hi, I noticed today that my profile still had an obsolete email address, so I changed it about an hour ago. However, I have yet to receive a confirmation email, so I'm still stuck in the "users awaiting email confirmation" group. I've clicked on the "resend email" link a couple of times. Do...

    Lack of NPC stats

    The NPC descriptions and pictures are nice, but, both for DMing convenience and for that "old-school" feel, I was expecting at least a class/level/alignment line for each NPC in Hengistbury, perhaps even a short statblock. Is anything like that forthcoming, either officially or user-created?

    "Change Shape" from Medium to Small

    So, let's say you have a Doppelganger (M) who uses Change Shape to pretend to be a Halfling or Gnome (S). It (and it's carried gear) become Small sized. Becoming Small certainly gives it +1 to hit and +1 AC. And its formerly-Medium weapons now do damage as Small weapons (though missile...

    Death after Death

    No, it's not a thread complaining about high PC mortality. ;) My question is this: In the RAW, barring special effects of certain planes, what happens to the souls of the Dearly Departed, a.k.a. petitioners (and for that matter other Outsiders) if they "die," on or off their Final Resting...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Polymorph gives Rust Monster's "Rust (Ex)" special attack

    My party's wizard sprang this on me this weekend, and sure enough, it's 100% legal by the books. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone comment on this before. (I just did a search and found only one previous comment, from back in August). Oh well, the flail-wielding, power-attacking Fire Giant...

    Contingency: use of "or" allowing multiple conditions?

    One of my players just got the Contingency spell. He'd like to have a Contingent False Life (no problem), but he wants the triggering condition to be "If I go under 20 hit points, or upon a command word." I don't have a problem with using a hit-point total as a condition. However, I'm not...

    Snatch/Deflect Arrows vs. Tanglefoot Bags and Alchemist's Fire?

    One of my 3.5 players, who has a Monk cohort, has just asked me if the Snatch Arrows feat will work against such special thrown weapons as Alchemist's Fire and Tanglefoot Bags. To which I thought, "What a good question! Why didn't anyone ask that before?" ;) But, judging from my search of...

    Speak With Dead: what does "subject to" mean?

    Per the SRD and the PHB, both 3.0 and 3.5, Speak With Dead (see below) fails if "the corpse has been subject to speak with dead within the past week." Does this just mean that the same corpse can't be talked to (by anyone)more than once within one week, or does it *also* mean that you can't...

    Contingency: what does "affects your person" mean?

    I tried to sneak this into another thread, but no responses, so.... Contingency (text quoted below) is range "Personal," target "You," and the Contingent spell "must be one that affects your person." Does this mean: A: It only works on spells that target a single individual, such as Shield...

    Shadow Evocation (and other shadow magic) questions

    My Halfling Sorcerer will be getting his second 5th-level spell soon, and I'm considering Shadow Evocation, mainly for the extreme versatility (useful for a Sorcerer). However, I've got some questions about the spell (and it's a multi-DM game in which I'm DM about half the time, so "ask the DM"...

    Monster Advancement and SR

    I'm working on an advanced-by-HD creature for my campaign. The base creature has a flat number for Spell Resistance, not "x + class levels," and it's not getting any class levels as part of the advancement in any case. I *expected* that, by the book, its Spell Resistance would go up as its...

    How wide is a "line", i.e. Lightning Bolt?

    The 3.5 rules introduce a new standard spell area type, the "line," for such old standbys as Lightning Bolt. Unfortunately, the SRD and PHB descriptions of a "line" are confusing, written entirely in "squares" terminology, and leave me *guessing* that a "line" is probably meant to be 10' wide...

    Lesser Planar Ally/Summons: what's left?

    I see that "Lesser Planar Ally" and "Lesser Planar Binding" now Call creatures of up to only 6 HD, rather than 8. And many outsiders have had their HD increased. So, anyone have opinions about what's left that's worth Calling?
