To provide me with a candidate for Greater Planar Ally, my DM has instructed me to create an Astral Deva advanced to 18HD. For the most part (skill points, feats, saves) this is fairly simple. But 2 questions nag at me: 1. Should spell-like abilities be advanced to 18th caster level as...

In our epic game, one of the characters has expressed an interest in taking a planar substitution level for sorcerer. What it shows in the book is that basically, for giving up 1 spell known at 2nd level, all spells that deal energy damage now deal 1/2 of that as pure force damage. At first...

This has come up in our campaign both because of fireshield, and the Initiate of the 7 Veils' 'personal warding' ability. When someone makes a full attack, the attacks happen over time, correct? The question is this: if a fighter is hitting my wiz, who has fireshield, he takes damage for every...

We've recently come across an orb of dragonkind in my campaign and are trying to solve a dilemma. Here's the text: what I was wondering is the wording about AC and saving throw bonuses and how they cannot be modified. So say it gives you AC 38, Fort save 25, Reflex 18, Will 25. Does that...

Still playing our friendly old Nights Below 3.5 conversion, and seeing as how one of our characters just got #*U()&#&$*ed, thought I'd pose this question to the board. What is the CR for a trap that a) Casts Wish upon the victim to permanently transform them into a Lemure, and then Gates them...

Having some trouble resolving how items being affected by disjunction make their saves. First off, say a character is in the area of the disjunction, all his items must make will saves. Since this is a high level char, his will save will be better than the item's, so each item will use the...

Just curious what experienced DMs think of this encounter: our group of 7 lvl 13-14 pcs have to fight the king-priest and his goons in their temple. When we walk into the temple, each pc is hit with a targeted greater dispelling at caster level 15. Any spell we cast while inside the temple is...

My group threw down last night and a number of situations presented themselves. 1) Can you grapple with an AOO? If you can, do you provoke an AOO from the person you are trying to grapple? I'm pretty sure the first part is right, since you can trip as an AOO, I don't see why you couldn't...

I don't know if anyone else has the same problem in their campaign, but I think suggestion was a bad idea. I hated in 2nd, I hate it in 3rd. Here is a spell that never fails to start an arguement at the table. Example DM: Ok, the illithid suggests you run away. Me: I'm a paladin, sworn to...

I'm interested in how other DMs handle starting wealth for new characters in campaigns already underway. I personally am not inclined to give FULL starting wealth in magical items, as the items the characters have obtained through the campaign should cover their wealth. For instance, if you...
