Hi, I'm looking for thoughts/advice/clarification on this variant from the PH2. I'm DM'ing a new campaign, with a druid that wants to take a shapeshifter over a straight-up druid. At first glance, it looks great - not too powerful, but interesting, and well-defined rules around shapeshifting...

We ran into a problem adjudicating the Erase spell in our campaign. The party encountered a touch-activated glyph on a door that discharged, reset, discharged, reset... the wizard decided to use his Erase spell and ran up to the glyph.... then we fell into a confused mess trying to figure out...

An appropriate ending to a wonderful tale. Thanks for putting this together Doc! It's been a real treat, and I really appreciate you taking the time and care to put it here for us. Thanks to everyone in the campaign too. If it was half as memorable as it reads, you're very fortunate!

I'm a little confused on how sneak attack damage can be applied to spell effects. I know that typically sneak attack damage applies to any spell that requires a "to hit" roll, and adds bonus damage of the base-spells type (so sneak attacking with a Ray of Frost would result in extra cold...

A little planning ahead... I'd like my current PC, a low-level druid, to have a pet cat as an animal companion. How do I keep the cat alive past the first fireball? Familiars have the advantage of nifty abilities (improved evasion) and relatively good hit points, while an animal-companion cat...

[edit] Didn't mean to post - sorry!

Strange question I know... I have a character who is a converted 1/2 elf wizard/cleric from 2nd edition. He was the first character I attempted to convert when 3e came out, and at the time I decided to split his character levels based on his history. I ended up making him a cleric 3 / wizard 3...

In last night's session, our only fighter was engaging a stone giant in melee combat. The party rogue ran around behind, and attempted to flank from 25' away with his bow. Although the flanking rules seem to indicate that you only gain the +2 hit bonus with melee weapons, there was some...

Is there any way of boosting a caster-level check? My cleric has a number of spells that will allow him to improve someone's skill check (prayer, guidance-of-the-avatar). Does the skill-boost from these spells apply to a caster-level check also? If not, is there any way that I can improve...

We use a scaled-down version of spontaneous casting in our campaign: wizards/clerics/druids prepare spells, but don't lose them when cast (so they can freely cast from their prepared list, up to their max spells for the day). This adds a little flexibility to "standard" casters, but had the...

I'm looking at running a group through the new Return to Temple of Elemental Evil module, but I'm having difficulty finding any information on Greyhawk. I find it a little frustrating that it's supposed to be the core setting, but there's little in the way of support information (wrt...

In our campaign last night, the party's wizard was drained two levels by a vampire. The party didn't have a cleric and incorrectly assumed that the effect would expire. At the end of the 24h period, the wizard failed both fort saves and permanently lost the levels. This puts the party at a...
