To Craft Alchemical items the rules say "You must be a spellcaster to craft any of these items." Does that mean you must have levels in a spellcasting class or does having Spell-Like Abilities count as well? For example: could a Gnome Rogue get any use out of its Craft (Alchemy) racial bonus...

Is there any source for general information on kobolds (how people view them, culture, regions, etc.) in the Forgotten Realms setting? Or are they just as they appear in the Monster Manual? Thanks!

Hi, I'm confused on how newly obtained natural attacks mix with regular attacks (if at all) and I can't find anything about it in the PHB. In Tome of Magic one of the vestiges gives you ram horns which gives you a natural attack. Do you then have to choose between either the horn attack or...

Hey all, has anyone heard of other releases for SW now that Saga Edition is out? I'm probably jumping the gun but I'm excited to see what Saga Edition holds. Thanks!

During combat (after the surprise round) if a character successfully hides then attacks a foe, do they get any benefits? Specifically, is the target flat-footed, denied its Dex bonus or in any other way incur sneak attack damage? Looking online and in the books, I can't find anything that...

Hi everybody! I'm going to be playing in a new game with a brand new party of second level characters. I've been leaning heavily towards playing a Binder because I think that's the niftiest class out there and I've never gotten the chance to give them a shot. The rest of the party consists of...

When an evil cleric successfully commands undead, how long does it last for? Thanks!

I'm from Baltimore and in another thread it was mentioned how the gaming culture in Baltimore has dried up and is done for. It sounds like it comes largely from a lack of decent gaming stores and conventions. So what are some ways to help culture the gaming community into something great, if...

Are there magic (non-psionic) tattoos that have an unlimited duration? If yes, in which books are they found (I thought they came from Forgotten Realms)? Thanks!

I was looking over the Druid Shapeshifting variant and some of the shapes that I would like to see are an aquatic form and a form that lets you become smaller. That way you have all terrain covered (land, sea and air) and could become Tiny like a Wild Shape Druid can. I haven't thought out the...

Can a Druid use the Handle Animal skill to direct their animal companion while Wild Shaped? Handle Animal says: "Handle an Animal: This task involves commanding an animal to perform a task or trick that it knows." Would a roar or a gesture in animal form count or does it have to be a verbal or...

Pretty much what the title says: can the Fabricate spell be used to create mechanical traps or cut down the time in creating them?

I've got an 8th level Druid who is due a feat (retrained to drop two levels of Wizard and Wizardly feats) and I was thinking of maybe an Item Creation feat. Are the Item Creation feats good for a Druid or will I get little out of it? In your opinion, which is the best one? Thanks!

One of the guys I play with have a spiked chain Fighter and asked me if he used a Large spiked chain, would it give him 15' reach. I couldn't find any evidence for it, so I supposed not. But I'm sure EnWorld can point me to a definite ruling to pass to him. Thanks!

Are there any WotC PrCs geared towards sniping (that are available to crossbowers, ideally and are for non-Evil characters)? Which makes for a better sniper, a Rogue for the Sneak Attack damage or a Fighter for the better feats and BAB? I would guess Rogue but I'm sure someone here has some...

In regards to adding new abilities to a magic item the SRD says: "A creator can add new magical abilities to a magic item with no restrictions. The cost to do this is the same as if the item was not magical. Thus, a +1 longsword can be made into a +2 vorpal longsword, with the cost to create it...

What is the rule for the duration of cumulative Fear effects? If a character becomes Shaken for 7 rounds, then Shaken one round later for 3 rounds is the character: 1) Frightened for 6 rounds, then free of Fear (the highest Fear effect duration). 2) Frightened for 3 rounds, then dropped to...

Is there an enhancement to make armor count as the next lighter category? (In order to give non-metal armors the same effect that mithral does.) If there is no such thing, is it abusive to allow it? Thanks!!

I've never played a sorcerer before but I wanted to make a Force based sorcerer that would go into the Argent Savant and Force Missle Mage PrCs. Since the focus is Force spells I want to take lots of them but I don't want to end up taking too many and make the character less effective over all...

They're not really magic items but does the Magic Compendium have any Grafts in it? Thanks!!
