This is pretty random, so I apologise in advance: [Also, I don't really know how I get from 'whistling aircon' to 'heat death of the universe', yet still I do.] Can anyone point me to a free, downloadable, legal source of sound effects? Specifically, I was just lying in the dim (remember...

Does falling unconscious end dismissable spells? Does dying? I used to be able to cite the references to back up the answer, now I can't remember the answer itself. Thanks, Rassilon.

So that all the characters have one of their own! Hi All, As per the 3.5 SRD, black puddings have the following property: "Split (Ex) Slashing and piercing weapons deal no damage to a black pudding. Instead the creature splits into two identical puddings, each with half of the original’s...

Hi All, Are there any hardcore realms fans out there who can supply actual dates for Cormyr's troubles in 1370/71? I'm particularly interested in the appearance of Nalavatoryl / the goblin armies, and the date of the the death of Azoun, in realms format (e.g. 25 Kythorn 1371). Cheers, Rassilon.

Hello All, My newly 3rd level Elf wizard is taking Alter Self as one of his newly gained spells. Can people suggest some of the best forms to take for various benefits? For example, changing to a Troglodyte gives 30 minutes of +6 Natural Armour bouns, that sort of thing. Thanks in advance...

Is it possible to Take 10 on a Spellcraft check to identify a potion? . The identifier is not under pressure. . The skill specifies "no retry" for this usage. . This may or may not constitute a cost for failure? . Why or why not? Cheers, Rassilon.

Pretty straightforward - but what would a Ring of Greater Counterspells - allowing levesl 1 to 9, cost? Thanks for the help, Rassilon.

Okay, the Orange Prism Ioun Stone grants "+1 Caster Level" with no further description. It costs 30K. Is the intent that this is +1 effective caster level, which means that it increases all level dependent effects of spells but does not increase spells per day, or is this meant to really be...

Really just seeking opinions. How do people feel about using Wish to increase effective caster levels, as if by the Practiced Spell Caster feat or the orange ioun stone ? Is it within the power of a Wish (in your considered RAW opinion)? Is it different if the individual is a 25th level...

So I was reading HtW's Story Hour, and came across the following passage, which took my fancy in a particular manner. Aside from the fact that the writing is engaging enough after about 30 lines that I'm starting threads in response to it, my first, completely sponteneous thought in reaction to...

By George I think I've got it! Knowledge [Local] has been bothering me. Either every region requires taking a new "stream" of the skill, meaning that it is very hard to be an expert on 3 places, or every rank is seen to add a new region, as well as increase one's overall competence, meaning...

Let's consider Wraithstrike from C.Arc. It is a swift action to cast which for 1 round allows you to make melee attacks as touch attacks. It is also one of two things specifically named to ban from C.Arc in a recent thread. Why ? Now I know what the spell does, I have used is as a character...

Hi All, I have recently had a personal about-face, and instead of being vaguely suspicious of the whole "cohort thing", am considering taking Leadership for my only active character. Now of course I will be discussing the issue with my fellow players, but as I am not yet decided on my own...

Hello all, For some reason I was thinking about how I like to be DMd - ie how I like my DM to manage the adventure / my character / me, I a realised that I prefer to be DMd with some Formality (!), but not necessarily with a firm hand. For Example: Not so long ago we were doing the Gythyanki...

Okay Guys, First off, this is intended for a specific character, but I think the situation highlights a small general problem. My character is a two weapon fighter, good old steel, and there is massive roleplaying satifaction and character integrity in playing his attachment to the two...

Hi Guys, What do people think of this feat - too tough, not tough, just plain boring ? I envision it as a counterpart to that feat that allows spontaneous casters to prepare a spell. Version A: Studied Spontaneity [General] Pre-reqs: Non Spontaneous Arcane Spell Caster. Benefit: You can...

Hi Guys, There is a 4th level Sor/Wiz/Clr spell in C.Arcane that gives you +10 to overcome a single creature's spell resistance on spell penetration checks. It is a divination spell, which does not specify that only spells you cast will be affected, but nor does it imply directly that any...

Does anyone recall a recent thread that debated whether or not Evard's Black Tentacles took attacks of opportunity ? I do, but I can't find it (I was sure it was on the Rules forum). Could someone post a link if they have it, or even just what the general conclusion (if there was one) came to...

Greetings All, Just today I picked up Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe. Firstly, I highly recommend it ! Secondly, I have destroyed my afternoon by using the "Manors" section to work out how some recently acquired land will function for my character - but I need some help: The...

I've been going quickly through the Warlock (Com. Arc.) Eldritch blast ability, and I can't find a RAW on the visibility of it. It seems reasonable to me that it could, considered by itself, be invisible. The opposing authority is the pictures (!) in the book, and the fact that 'magical blasts'...
