Well without taking any magic into account, given enough time anyone should be able to open a chest, whether it be from removing the hinges or smashing the lock. Having been to summer camp enough and losig the key to my footlocker on more then one occasion, it's pretty easy to do. In either case...

I am ok with the XP loss. The way I look at it is that the people making the magic items are not learning anything new so no XP, they are merely following the recipies they leared when they learned the feat. So unlike fighting, or casting spells in varying situations, item creation is just...

Shilsen is correct. the true strike spell only negates the "Miss chance" effect of being concealed. It does not negate anything else, it does not make fog go away, it does not make the target visible. If you do not have any idea where the target is, then you can't shoot at it. Unless you know...

To answer the original question. Yes there is no reason that a Cohort could not take the leadership feat and have his own cohorts and followers. But like it's been pointed out, there should be a real good reason for this, and the DM should definitely be asked before taking this feat. We have a...

Well I'd have to say he is basing his conclusion off of common sense. In order for you to make your missle attack you have to have some idea where your target is, once you have that idea (by making either a listen or spot check) then the spell is great. But if you walk into the center of a room...

definately what they all said. Blade Barrier is a spell that is subject to SR not DR.

What they all said. I also agree with Icebear that you roll for each attack individually, it is also important to remember what Crothian said, you only have to make a concentration check on the initiative you are casting the spell. So an example would be: There are 3 combatants, Wizard, Orc 1...

If both sides are "ready" we just use standard initiative to see who was quicker. If only one side was "ready" then we let them take their actions (automatic surprise), then jump into standard initiative.

I agree with KD on this one. Though there are always exceptions to that rule. On an average night it's pretty easy for somebody to stay awake those few extra ours for guard duty. But if the PC's have been on the move and not getting a normal amount of sleep I may add something like a fort check...

We use the passive/active system as well. Anything that a PC might notice from casual observation uses Spot, this includes hidden creatures, or anything else a PC may notice is out of place. Anytime that a PC is activley searching fo something, also including hidden creatures/objects or clues...

Even using the PHB, they are just examples, and not a definitive list. Ofcourse try getting your god to justify an ability increase. In either case like a few people have said, the 2 spells are definately different, and seem to work as is, IMHO.

From the SRD "Alternatively, the cleric can make a very powerful request. Casting such a miracle costs the cleric 5,000 XP because of the powerful divine energies involved. A request that is out of line with the deity’s (or alignment’s) nature is refused." To me this implies I can ask for...

I don't see much of an issue here. You can use miracle to cast other spells with no XP cost (this is because there are some restrictions on what you can ask for etc, based on your ethos) You can use miracle to do anything else a wish would do, but in doing so you incur the 5000xp cost and are...

Tough call on that one. The TaB has Rods that grant metamagic feats, so I'd look to those for some ideas. If one of my players asked for this in an item, I'd probably go in the neighborhood of 10,000 GP, for a limited use (X times per day), more if it granted the power all the time.

Actually it's 12-20 for a Keen/improved crit scimitar. 18-20 is the base, Keen and Imp Crit improves the threat range by the same amout as the base (in this case 3 (18,19,20)) So with just Imp Crit it would become 3 better for 15-20 then with Keen 3 more better for 12-20.

I have them function as the boots of speed, they are simialr in cost, +3 for armor is in the neighborhood of 10,000 gp and the boots are 8000 gp. If you wanted it to be on full time the cost would be in the neighborhood of 30000 gp base price. I've noticed in the OA book that some armor and...

This is the only time I've ever had to make a house rule for D&D. The rules for Dragon Hinde inf the DMG are horrible. So here is the system I came up with. The costs would be the same as from the DMG for masterwork and magic bonus for a suit of this armor. Dragonhide Armor Armor smiths can...

Yeah you got it right. If you started a 1st level character off with the half-fiend template he would have an ECL of 4 (lvl 1 +3) and would have all the benefits of being human and half-fiendish.

Well lets see. "You gain the services of a 4th level fighter" (You get a 4th level fighter and whatever a 4th level fighter includes, skills/feats/stat bonus, etc) "The fighter appears out of nowhere and servers loyaly unto death" (poof here I am) "He or she is a magic construct" (So he/she...

I really don't see the big deal, my 12th lvl fighter got killed by a Scimitar weilding dwarf just last Sunday (+3 Scimitar Keen/Vorpal) with the Imp crit feat. No biggy I died then my team mate nuked his ass with a harm, and the monk killed him. So now I can weild that pretty little blade. But...
