I know this topic has been addressed before and I apoligize for bring it up again for I cannot find a clear answer. Under the description of magical items in the DMG, there is a caster level number and it also lists the prerequisites. Let's say I am a level 9 wizard, have craft wondrous items...

I'm was looking to buy the epic level handbook online. I found it on Buy.com for $13.82 and on Amazon for $27.97. However, Buy.com lists the author as Daniel Kaufman and Amazon lists the author as Andy Collins. However, both of the books have the identical ISBN number. Does anyone know if...

Let's take the following scenario: A level 18 druid with 2 rings of animal friendship. The druid can recruit up to 18 HD worth of animals with his class and 12 HD for each of his two rings, for a total of 42 HD worth of animals. Now we know that he cannot have an animal above 18 HD because of...

Usually the same bonuses does not stack with exception of dodge. However, in Master of the Wild, pg 36/ 37, it states "one ring of animal friendship adds 12 HD to the character's limit, a second raises that to 24, and a hand of glory allows the use of a third ring for a total of 36 additional...

Let's say that you have a unarmed cleric and an unarmed sorcerer. Both are medium size with 5 ft reach standing in adjacent squares. Both are unarmed, do not have unarmed attack feat, and not hasted. Please take a look at the following cases: 1. If the sorcerer moves back 10 ft and casts a...

You can only use a magical weapon of equal or greater value to break another magical weapon. So can a +2 longsword break a +2 longsword with frost damage? Or would it take a +3 weapon to do so? I have always thought that only the +numeric value counted for this purpose.

I took over a game as DM about a year ago. We started playing since the release of 3e. I took over when we reached level 10. Since then, my players have advanced to level 17. The DM before me had a rule that if you failed your concentration spell while casting defensively (15+ spell level)...

There is an example of striking a weapon either with the PHB or the DMG. I been looking for a while, but can't find it. Can anyone point me to the page number? Thanks.

Under the duration for the spell, it states 1 round. Does this imply one full round, starting on after my one action for casting and lasting till my initiative count on the following round? Or simply lasting my one round (ending on the end of my initiative)? I'm thinking that it's the first...

I'm DM for a game. I have a NPC monk, fighter, duelist that helps out when the players don't have a fighter avail to soak up damage. The character is 17 level, Monk 3, Fighter 4, Duelist 10 and lawful good. My question is now that I have maxed out duelist, now what? The character concept is...

Let's say that a character is wearing rhino hide and using a greataxe (x3 on critical). On a charge, he scores a critical hit. Is the damage x4 or x6 or neither?
