WotC's recent article on animal companions said this about sharing spells: *** To share a spell, your animal companion must be within 5 feet of you and there must be an unbroken line of effect between you and the companion. If the shared spell has a duration other than instantaneous, your...

According to the MM: "Creatures hitting a fire elemental with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the elemental’s attack, and also catch on fire unless they succeed on a Reflex save." Do you actually have to hit (get past its AC and do some damage) the fire...

If for some reason you have a penalty to your damage rolls, and you score a critical hit, do you roll your full damage (including original hit and critical) first and then subtract the penalty, or does the penalty apply both to the original hit damage and the crticial damage separately? This...

I'm a little unsure about how Tumble works when you try to tumble past an enemy (or through the enemy's space) - in particular, exactly waht the "one-half speed" refers to. Is it only for the distance you're tumbling, or does it apply to your entire move? That is: suppose your base move speed...

I'm am looking for spells related to memory, from either standard or non-standard sources. Does anybody have any? Thanks for your help. Panask Servitar to Baldur

Suppose I attack with a quartestaff, using it as a double weapon, with all appropriate penalites for two-weapon fighting. Then, before my next turn, I get an Attack of Opportunity on an opponent. Can I attack using the quarterstaff as a two-handed weapon for the AoO? And do the TWF penalties...

[Wasn't sure which forum this fit best in] Can anyone direct me to a list of cleric domains, including non-standard ones that show up in WotC and non-WotC books? There used to be an Enyclopedia Domainica site, but I can no longer find it. (Or perhaps I'm spelling it wrong....) Thanks. Panask...

I'm interested in playing a druid whose fighting talents are a little better than usual. I was thinking of throwing out Wildshape (which doesn't really fit this character's concept), and giving the character a fighter's BAB. But Wildshape is very powerful, so this doesn't look like a fair trade...

Does a ranger 2/druid X get to add half his ranger levels to his druid level when calculating his effective level for ananimal companion? Or does he have to wait until he's 4th-level ranger before his ranger levels kick in for this ability? Thanks in advance. Panask Servitar to Baldur

Can anybody point me to a collection or repository of alternative fighting-style chains for rangers? (That is, besides the archery style and the two-handed fighting style.) Somehow I feel sure there's a lot out there, both from WotC and elsewhere. Thanks in advance. Panask Servitar to Baldur

I am looking for character builds, feats, and PrCs that make good use of high ranks in Climb, Use Rope, or both. All suggestions welcome. Thanks! Panask Servitar of Baldur

Is there a spell (in the PHB or elsewhere) that causes a weapon to be treated as magical, silver, cold iron, aligned, etc. (probably just one, chosen when the spell is cast) for the purposes of getting past a creature's damage reduction? I seem to remember it, but I can't find it. Thanks in...

Well, the Rules Folks tell me there is no official rule for this. So how about house rules? Is it possible for a character to simply ignore a specific opponent, so that the opponent's ally wouldn't flank? If so, what advantages would the ignored opponent have against the character, and what...

Is there an "official" rule for ignoring an opponent so that his ally doesn't get to flank you? What advantages would he ignored opponent have against you? My thanks, Panask Servitar of Baldur

Does anyone know of a source for spells that are related to memory? Or do you happen to have a few of your own hanging around? I'm designing an organization that (mainly a bard's college) that makes use of memory-related magic, but the PHB gives mevery little to choose from. Thanks. Panask...

In the D&D Rules forum, someone was asking for LA +0 races with a +2 bonus to CHA. These are two races I use in my campaign – variations based on an article I had published in Dragon 15+ years ago. I’m skipping all the flavor test, but: in my campaign, dryads and satyrs are actually a single...

Any house rules on this? *** According to the 3.5 PHB, when you hit a character with a net, the "entangled character takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty on Dexterity, can move at only half speed, and cannot charge or run.... If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell...
