    lost INT and affect on skill points

    When a character permanently loses points of INT (say from a curse, god's wrath, magic, whatever) do they lose skill points if their INT mod drops? Say, a 1st lvl cleric (skill = 2+INT mod x 4) with an INT of 16 (+3 mod) loses 2 points of INT. Would their skill points drop from 20 to 16? If...

    Can someone please post the 3.0 stats of the drow from the FRCS? I no longer have the book in my group and after an hour of searching can't find it online. Thanks, Myst

    can you upgrade magic items?

    I know you can recharge wands, but is there any rules that talk about upgrading magic items? Say you have a Flaming Longsword +1 and you want to make it a Flaming Longsword +2, spell storing. Would you just pay the difference for another +2 (going from +2 item (+8000 gp) to a +4 item (+32000)...

    An official database of items & their costs

    Is there a "master list" out there anywhere that has all of the magic items from all of the books and their appropriate prices. You know how 3 items named the same show up in different books with different prices (i.e. Dragon Scale Armor). Somebody Somewhere must have gone through the...

    gythka: base damage & STR damage

    according to the SRD: *Wielding a Weapon Two-Handed: When you deal damage with a weapon that you are wielding two-handed, you add 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus. *Off-Hand Weapon: When you deal damage with a weapon in your off hand, you add only 1/2 your Strength bonus. *Double Weapons: You...

    Echoes, Fragments, Parasites, and Symbiotes

    I just picked up the Quintessential Psion from Mongoose and was wondering if anyone is running a campaign that has implemented any of these elements. If so, is it balancing out pretty well or is it dramatically unbalancing the psion? Although they all seem pretty complex, I think they'll...

    psions & the move silently skill

    I just realized that the move silently skill is not listed on pg 18 of the Psionics Handbook (the table that says what skills are class/cross-class/restricted based upon the Psion discipline). Our group has not yet migrated to 3.5, but nonetheless I checked the 3.5 SRD but it isn't in there...

    many questions stemming from our recent combat

    I threw my PC's up against an orc group consisting of 7 fighters, 2 clerics and a mage. I gave each of the orcs Amber Amulets of Vermin (which they all used before engaging in melee combat w/ the PC's); two of which were the Lg Monstrous Spider type. During combat, I had the spiders using...

    how does "calling a mount" work for a Paladin?

    Is it like summoning a creature? Whenever he wants it, it is there, and whenver he wants to release it, he can? Does it just vanish in a puff of smoke? Or, is it more like the Paladin prays to his diety for it and one day it comes running up and stays with him the rest of his days? Myst

    MM2 - The destructive power of a Rampager's acid

    On pg 177 of MM2, the Rampager has: Acid (Ex): The acid that coats a rampager's claws...disolves an opponent's armor...unless the wearer suceeds at a Reflex save (DC 22). I threw this monster against my group and attacked our shiny paladin in Plate Mail +1, Platinum. Sure enough, this...

    jumping and attacks in mid-air

    Are there any rules anywhere that govern PC's jumping to attack something with a melee weapon? Here's the scenario. I put my group against a huge party of orcs lead by a winged half-fiend orc. The only archer of the group was surrounded by orcs leaving our unfettered assassin to take on the...

    does identifying an item reveal a curse?

    Just wondering if you find a magic item and it has a curse on it, does casting the identify spell reveal the curse? What about detect magic? Analyze Dweomer? If none of the above, how is a player to find out a curse on an item other than using it and it becomes too late?

    random things I've had questions about

    1. Would you let a medium-sized character that takes the Monkey Grip feat (pg 7 Sword & Fist) use a large weapon in each hand? 2. If a cleric choses a neutral diety and decides to be able to spontaneously cast cure spells, is that cleric thereby saying his diety is "more on the good side" and...

    Savage Species Thri-Kreen Advancement ?

    My character is a non-psionic Thri-Kreen 6th-lvl fighter (total ECL of 9). I just hit 6th lvl - my question is this: He dual-weilds 2 Gythkas and has: +6/+1 BAB as a 6th-lvl fighter +2 BAB from the Thri-Kreen race +4 STR modifier Multi-weapon fighting feat Multi-Dexterity feat Weapon Focus...

    2 Rules Questions: AoO and Detect Evil

    In short, my question is this: Does the detect evil ability render an invisible opponent visible to the Paladin? The scenario was this: I put our party of 8 8th-lvl characters against a Moon Hag (pg 98 Creature Collection), who has the ability to become invisible at will. It was a very...

    Is there a master list of prices that is correct?

    I am just curious if there is any one site out there that has the "official" prices for magic items. For instance, in the Quint Fighter it says a suit of DragonScale Armor is only 4500 gp, but in another book I saw today (I think it was Equipment Guide by Sword & Sorcery) it was selling for...

    creatures & limit on magic items worn

    In the DMG, it lists the limit on magic items worn (for instance, 1 cloak, cape, or mantle). In the listing it says, "2 rings." Does that mean that a creature with 4 arms could only use 2 magic rings? I know that ultimately it is up to the DM to decide on how he/she interprets the rules for...

    I need a rules guru to answer this Thri-Kreen Question

    Tonight I made a Thri-Kreen character based on the info from the Monster Manual II. In short, i want to give him dual Gythkas. According to pg 196, "a thri-kreen who has the multiweapon fighting feat can wield two gythkas at once as double weapons because of its four arms." I have given this...
