    Question about Magic Circle Against Evil

    This question is based on the 3.5 version of the spell. I'm wondering if the protection effects (to AC and saves) of Magic Circle Against Evil move with the creature touched. The area description of the spell says: 10-ft.-radius emanation from touched creature. I interpret that to mean if the...

    Ideas for Paladin's Mount

    I don't have the specifics knocked out yet, but I'm picturing a beast that's maybe 7 ft tall at the shoulder, about 11 ft long. Weighs about 1 ton. Since it's so tall, my dwarf will braid a "ladder" into it's long woolly coat so he can climb up and ride into battle:)

    Ideas for Paladin's Mount

    Well, flying ostriches not withstanding, thought you might be interested in the final decision on my dwarf paladin's mount: Dire Yak. It fits his history/personality perfectly.

    Ideas for Paladin's Mount

    Hmmm...I'm picturing a Dire Llama with a deadly ranged spit attack. It has possibilities. I like the ram idea, boars are cool, and some kind of ox would be fun also. I'm not familiar with the Dwarven Hound but I'll check it out. Thanks for the input!

    Ideas for Paladin's Mount

    I'm running a paladin for the first time (starting at 8th level) and would like opinions on some fun, interesting mounts that you might have used. Doesn't need to be an uber-mount, just one that's less "standard" than a warhorse. The character is a dwarf who uses a guisarme.

    Enhancing a magical item?

    That's the mechanic I came up with also, but I just don't know if it's officially been outlined in a rule book. Thanks for your input.

    Enhancing a magical item?

    Maybe I'm missing this in the phb/dmg, but is it possible, using the Craft Magical Arms and Armor feat, to enhance an already magical weapon/armor (e.g. make a +1 weapon a +2 weapon)? I understand the rules for making a weapon magical "from scratch", but what about a weapon or armor that is...

    Using scroll of higher spell level

    Sorry for the lame question, but what's a caster level check?

    Using scroll of higher spell level

    Can a cleric who can only cast 4th level spells use a scroll to cast a divine spell of 5th level? If so, does he make some kind of check? I don't have my books with me at the moment. Any references to where this is covered in the rules would be appreciated. Joust

    Touch Spell While Wildshaped?

    Can a druid cast a touch spell, then wildshape, and deliver the touch spell against an opponent while wildshaped? Is wildshaping a standard action? Does it take any special concentration or can a druid wildshape pretty much any time? Sorry if these have been asked already.

    Where is your gaming room?

    For our group, two options have worked out best: 1) Where I, and others from my gaming group, happen to work there are conference rooms of various sizes that we've used. We usually play on weekends so no one is around. They're big, have multi-media options, white boards, and refrigerators for...

    Shyamalan's SIGNS - SPOILER-HEAVY DISCUSSION

    I must say I really enjoyed this movie. Shyamalan unfolds the story beatifully. I tried to know as little as possible before seeing it and I'm glad I did. Just a couple of questions that some of you very observant types may be able to answer: 1) I understand that the crop circles were an...

    Mormons, Mayhem, and JFK

    Joust here, just checking in on my good buddy Fenzer's story hour. As Nera Mente mentioned, playing yourself has its own challenges. After playing D&D for so long where heroic behavior is common, in Fenzer's game I was constantly asking myself if my actions would be realistic for me in real...

    The Fellowship of the Rings and other Observances

    I agree: Tolkien rocks the kazbah. But "that hideous Martin"? Pure blasphemy I say.

    Is poison use inherently evil?

    Some interesting points in this thread. Just a couple of thoughts: It seems to me that an obvious reason the designers of D&D made poison a fairly limited option (assassins, evil characters) was that if they didn't, a large percentage of players would use it, thus slowing the game and making it...

    Do you "pay the pig?"

    IMO, OOC discussions are far less irritating than those "minutia level" rules discussions that break out right in the middle of a dramatic/critical moment in the game. They can really put a damper on the game's momentum. Fortunately this doesn't happen very often in my group since we all agree...

    Invisibility Question

    So a PC casts invisibility on himself, and a few rounds later he is surrounded by critters that know he's in the area. The PC gets hit by a lucky swing and takes some damage. Does he stay invisible after taking the damage if he does not attack? A second critter (a Slaad) casts See Invisibility...

    [OT] Hurting. (I warn you, this is *very* OT

    Kyle, I won't recount my own story here, but understand that I know exactly what you're going through. Just a few words of insight: - Don't act on your impulse of violence. Pick up any book on infidelity, or talk to anyone who has experienced this, and you'll see that this is a very common...
