As the title. My PHB states that it only adds to damage rolls, but a player of mine in a PbP game I DM says his PHB (from Brazil) states that it adds to attack rolls as well. He says his group over there have been discussing it for a while, but since no errata on the subject has been released...

This seems like just the sort of topic that would have come up before, but here goes: using 3.5 RAW, does participating in a grapple influence a character's ability to make reflex saving throws? How about if you're pinned? Here's the situation I'm thinking about that might occur with my druid...

Ok so this situation came up: A cleric summons an Ice Mephit while fighting a Maelephant (Fiend Folio). The Maelephant uses it's breath weapon on the mephit and it fails it's save. The effect of the breath weapon is that the victim suffers complete memory loss: this suppresses all of a...

Greetings! While looking up some spells my new cleric could use, I came across some things that were unclear: -The spell Antilife Shell creates a 10ft radius around the cleric blocking living things. This radius is measured from the edge of the cleric's square, right? Say if he was large size...

As the title. If a sorcerer of 4th level or higher were to cast Acid Arrow two rounds in a row at the same creature, would the damage from both arrows stack? For example: Socks the 7th level sorcerer casts Acid Arrow at the Orc and hits dealing 2d4 acid damage. Next round he casts it again...

I came across this hulking construct and was immediatly impressed by it, so I'd like to use it. Seems kinda strong for a CR3 though, right? Anyway, what I wanted to ask: I can't make sense of it's attack bonusses. Both the slam attack and the twobladed sword attacks seem to be wrong. Am I right...

I've always been a player, but recently I've thought about trying my hand at DM'ing. I've never had the chance to play in a classic fantasy setting, usually my DM's had a good number of houserules and played in homebrew settings. From what I have gathered from reading this board, Greyhawk would...

Are scrolls made by wizards or sorcerers interchangable? That is, can a wizard use a scroll a sorcerer created, and vice-versa? If so, what would be the requirements with that? If for example a wizard created a scroll of fireball at the minimum caster level, would a 5th level sorcerer be able...

Greetings, quick question for ya'll while my game continues in the back: if a non-raging barbarian fails his will save against a Hold Person spell, could he still enter rage while paralysed to gain the benefit from the +2 to will saves? It would help on those extra will saves he gets each round...

Okay, say you have this situation: a character with 1 level in the Frenzied Berzerker class frenzies, and then somewhere in combat he gets reduced to having 1 hitpoint left. Then his turn comes up. Now, what's unclear to me is: 1) When does the 2 nonlethal damage/round due to frenzy occur in a...

As the title suggests, if a caster is casting a spell with a casting time of 1 round or more, does he threaten the surrounding area while doing it? Seems kinda odd he would be able to make AoO's while casting. The specific situation where it came up is actually this: a psion manifesting an...

Say my wizard/monk has cast the Blink spell, and next round casts a Shocking Grasp spell. Now at first I thought that both the casting of SG would have a 20% failure chance, and the touching part as well. But then I got thinking, would a charge spell like SG only affect the etheral plane if cast...

Bob the fighter just drank a potion of displacement. William the Warmage then casts Magic Missle at Bob. Is the MM affected at all by displacement? From the SRD description of displacement, total cover and magic missle it is not clear to me.

According to 3.5 raw, is it possible to trip a flying character/monster? Is there a mechanic somewhere for this, IE how far one would fall or what else would happen? I'm trying to figure out if a character with Improved Trip would still work in high levels as most of his enemies would be flying...

I'm building a 10th level character that will participate in 1 on 1 Arena battles against other players, and I was thinking of going for the Dragon Disciple class. I'm not sure it's the best choice for fighting against other powergamed min/maxed characters, but I've always wanted to play one the...

As the title suggests, I would like to know if per the 3.5 RAW you could use the Speak with Animals spell to communicate with a Magical Beast. If not, what other method could one try to communicate with it? The situation that brought this up is my 3rd level Druid who wants to use Summon...

Would someone casting the electric version of Energy Ray [XPH] at someone in a studded leather armor gain the +3 attack bonus? The armor is made of leather, but does have lots of metal studs on it. What do you think the rules would say? For reference:

Once again I have some 3.5 rules questions for you nice folk, this time about the item in the title. The Animated property states that the wielder of the shield still takes the normal penalties assosiated with it. But in the case of the tower shield, does the character still take a -2 penalty...

The Vrock (p48 of MM 3.5) has an Extraordinary ability to release spores: "Spores (Ex): A vrock can release masses of spores from its body once every 3 rounds as a free action. The spores automatically deal 1d8 points of damage to all creatures adjacent to the vrock. They then penetrate the...

As the title. What's the save DC for a spell cast from a scroll? This has probably been asked a million times before, but as I don't have access to search I humbly ask again :). I can't seem to find it in the SRD or the FAQ. The entry under staffs specifically lists that they use the...
