Good day, all. One of my friends is opening a gaming store in Central, South Carolina and is Kickstarting this endeavor. His plan is, in part, to create a comfortable, welcoming space for gamers of all stripes, and if you want to see more of these sorts of places around I encourage you to check...

Hi, all. One of the characters in our game, by virtue of the Wild Mage PrC, has a continuous nondetection effect active. There was some question about whether deathwatch would be able to detect the character without need for the caster level check. Here are the relevant portions of the SRD...

Greetings. According to the ECS, "[artificers] magic is neither arcane nor divine." This is listed in the Characteristics section of the class description, and doesn't directly address magic items. Their Item Creation class feature says nothing about the distinction, but does this also carry...

I have a grappler character in my game, and we had a bit of a dispute last session regarding pinning. He had grappled a druid with an active Produce Flame and successfully pinned him. The druid's turn came up and, after reading the above, was inclined to rule that in the absence of a glossary...

Hi, all! One of my players in an upcoming campaign is looking at a duskblade, and we're having a bit of a dispute over the use of a greatsword with its Arcane Channeling class feature. It is my contention that if he is casting a spell with a somatic component he must have a hand free to do so...

Hi, all. I was looking at the Awaken spell, and wondering how the +2 HD given to a creature would affect its CR. Would it be affected as though using the animal's advancement scheme, as class levels, or in some other fashion? Thanks!

Greetings, all. Is there a listing anywhere of the various Monster Manual/Fiend Folio beasties by climatic zone? Thanks!

Hi, all! After having played a wizard in a recent D&D campaign, I've become reacquainted with how unfun it is to be on the recieving end of save-or-die spells. I don't want to remove them completely from my upcoming campaign; they're neat spells, but I do want to tone them down to not be...

Way to go, SciFi. Announce the cancellation of SG-1 so soon after its 200th episode. :-( http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=37607

Hi, all. My wizzie ended up getting dead last week; the current plan is to keep him Gentle Reposed until we can get back to town. The raising should drop him back from 9th to 8th level, which brings me to my question. When he levels back up to 9th, do I again get to pick two spells of levels...

Hi, everyone! We recently started up a Force-user game, and I had a question regarding Force skills. As a general rule one cannot take 10 on skills when distracted, such as by combat. However, many iForce skills with few to no applications outside of battle (e.g. Battlemind, Force Lightning)...

Hey, all. My wizard is planning on taking the Wild Mage PrC next level, and a thought occurred to me. How does a wild mage determine the caster level of an item he's creating? Do they use their unmodified caster level, their caster level - 3, their caster level - 3 + 1d6, or some other...

I am currently using the experience point system from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, and one of my players is interested in taking the Leadership feat. Since the FRCS does not address this issue, does anyone know how one should go about giving XP to the resulting cohort? -Tiberius

Good morning! Does anyone have the Monster Manual 2 handy? I'm wondering if the Quicken Spell-Like Ability feat is restricted to monsters or if it could be taken by characters with classes that grant spell-like abilities, such as the paladin, shadowdancer, and blackguard? Thanks! -Tiberius

Hi, everyone! I currently have a paladin in my game who took a fair number of ranks in Handle Animal, and is currently planning to train the party's heavy horses to be heavy warhorses. This won't work to begin with for this batch, as he has taken a break in the training to go adventuring, but...

'Ello! One of my players is currently playing a cleric of St. Cuthbert with the Destruction domain. He is considering taking the Extra Smiting feat from Defenders of the Faith. He was enquiring whether the smites gained from this feat could be stacked into a single attack, giving him, say...

Hi, everyone. I don't have my ELH here at work, so maybe one of you could tell me. Are epic spells subject to counterspelling? Thanks! -Tiberius

If you play in my campaign, you may stop reading now. For the rest of you, I've got a question with respect to the Planar Binding chain of spells. I have as one of my PCs a tiefling character. I was thinking of eventually having the party's adversaries use these spells to summon her and...

Hi, everyone. If you're one of my players, you may stop reading now. For everyone else, I have a question. My players are soon going to be leading their armies against a legion of troops modeled after the Roman style. This is all well and good, as I am somewhat familiar with the tactics of...

Hi, everyone. According to the Astral Projection spell: By my reading of this spell, it would appear to be possible to project yourself into the Astral, find a convenient color pool back to the Prime Material, hop through it, and go hassle your enemies without fear of death or loss of...
