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...

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.

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...

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

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.

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...

So the 10th level drow cleric is finally cornered and a couple of PC's are beatin' him down. As a last resort, he casts Flame Strike (10' radius, 10d6 damage, reflex for half) essentially right on himself, knowing that the PC's will get hit. The cleric's Spell Resistance is 21. So the spell goes...

I'm certainly no expert when it comes to medieval weaponry. I'm looking for names/descriptions of reach weapons. These can even be less common names of the reach weapons already listed in the PHB. I'm guessing that there are lots of "spear" type weapons that were common a few hundred years...

I can't believe I'm asking this question after playing 3e since it came out, but here goes: A) If you take a 5' step when your move both starts and ends in your opponent's threatened area, that still does not provoke an AoO, correct? B) On the same topic, if you leave your opponent's...

Seems like this has been discussed, but I can't find it on the boards. Sometimes it is a little irritating (IMO) when that killer Fireball blast does 40 points of damage on the big, bad Troll, but the fighter he was in melee with is not affected at all. Are there any rules you apply to deal with...

I don't have MotW yet, though I've read through the Wildshape section. Just looking for a couple of clarifications: 1. Can you use your "human feats" while Wildshaped (e.g. Expertise)? 2. If you're currently under the effect of a spell like Greater Magic Fang or Bull's Strength, and then you...

I was looking at the 3rd level Cleric spell Magic Circle Against Evil. This magic circle (primarily providing an AC bonus and saving throw bonus) applies to all PC's within the 10' radius of the spell, and not just to the Cleric, correct? There may be other spells where this question applies...

According to the PHB, Dwarves get a +2 to saves against spells and spell-like effects (IIRC). If a Wizard casts a spell like Command on a Dwarf, it seems obvious that the +2 would apply. What about spells like Lightning Bolt, Magic Missile, Web, Fireball, Melf's Acid Arrow, etc. where there's a...

This question has probably been discussed before but the search function is not working. Example: Fighter with 3 attacks per round Attack #1: attempts to disarm opponent and fails Attack #2: attempts to disarm opponent and succeeds Attack #3: melee attack Without improved disarm, attack #1...

Don't have my books with me. What are the basic rules for magic usage? 1) Can a divine caster never cast an arcane spell, even if it is on a scroll? (and vice versa?) 2) Can a fighter pick up a wand of CLW and use it? Can a wizard? Or can only divine spellcasters use the wand? 3) Do divine...

I've never played a Paladin before, so I wanted to make sure I understood the whole mount thing. 1) IIRC, DoF seems to indicate that having mounts other than a standard war horse is okay (DM's decision I suppose). Are there any interesting character/mount combos you've seen? I was thinking of a...

I'm curious to know what feats have been the most useful for cleric characters? The cleric I'm playing is approaching 6th level. He's solid in combat because of good strength and dex scores. Currently he has weapon focus and proficiency, dodge, and expertise...all combat related feats, so I...

Don't have my books with me, though I don't know if they answer the question very well anyway. When a Ranger selects a favored enemy, does he pick a "group" like Abberation? or does he pick a single, particular Abberation?
