Does anyone have any experience with Item Familiar? I'm thinking about having my Changeling Social Rogue/Skill monkey take it as his third level feat. Basically in his hands, it becomes a way to painlessly pick up skill tricks and languages. mypetrock

What is the most poweful build that you could come up with using one level of 20 classes and a race with LA+0? My thought is that you would want to start with as many melee types as possible, then add sneaky types, and finally add casters with useful first level spells. I'd go with Fighter...

I am considering playing a non-core spell casting class. But when I went to the Spell Compendium to see what new toys they gave to the new classes, I realized that they gave the new classes no love. Is it just up to DM fiat as to what spells would be available to non-core classes from the Spell...

My character is a Changeling rogue with an emphasis on the social aspects. As such I took the Changeling substition levels without realizing how important trapfinding is to my group. Looking at the other options that would give me back trapfinding, I'm considering either spellthief or beguiller...

My party ran into a beholder the other day. The beholder was sitting at one of end a corridor with meat shield monsters ready to pound on the PCs and the party was at the other end. The party casters used Flame Strikes and other conjuration effects to kill the beholder so that the melee types...

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a RBDM. I gave an NPC spellcaster access to Miasma ("The spell that WILL take down the Tarrasque - eventually"), casting it on the party's Sorceror/Mobile Artillery Platform. Said sorceror had a Bigby's Hand in effect and wanted to move it to grapple the enemy...

I have a large (7-8) heading-towards-high (~15) level party that I'm DMing. Because of their level and size, I have to adjust the encounters so that they are challenged and earn enough experience to continue advancing in level. Consequently, some of my adjustments can cause the party to complain...

As a DM for a large (7-8) party approaching high level play, I'm constantly trying to find an optimal mix of challenges to keep them interested and entertained. Occasionally I'll overshoot the mark a bit and the players start grumbling about rolling up new characters. I was looking at...

Do advanced constructs receive additional feats? What if the construct has Int 1? In particular, if I advanced an Iron Golem, would it receive additional feats? mypetrock

1) If Dispel Magic is stored in a ring of counterspells, would it be able to counter a dispel attempt cast at the wearer? 2) Does dispel magic effect ongoing potion-based effects (i.e. a potion of fire breath no longer allows the user to breath fire)? Thanks, mypetrock

My question includes some spoilers from Lord of the Iron Fortress. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS My players (Pal15, Brd14, Sor14, Rngr14, Mnk14, Ftr14, Clr14) are going through the Lord of the Iron Fortress. they have just killed Papa...

My party has become quite adept at converting a Pair of Slippers of Spider Climbing to a pair of Slippers of Any Monster Climbing. Almost without fail one of the members of the party will climb up on the (huge, colossal, gargantuan) monster's back and whale away on it. Common sense would...

My sorceror has an uncanny ability to be killed and otherwise eaten during adventuring. When he comes back from the dead, should he get access to his remaining spell slots for the day? I looked in the SRD and it says that wizards lose their spells, but it makes no mention of sorcerors. If not it...

I'm pretty certain I made a mistake in interpreting wind walk the other night. The spell description says that the players can't cast spells while wind walking. Can they a) attack corporeal creatures, b) attack wind-based creatures, or c) turn undead? Thanks, mypetrock

I'm getting started converting D1-2. Has anyone beat me to it? SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER In one encounter area, there is a lich where "The lich's spell level is 20," and his spell list includes Time Stop. I know I'm supposed to convert directly from the source material, but this one...

Usually when our group is in combat, once they kill a critter, we remove the critter from the board. But what do you do when a whole mess of critters (20+ and counting) charges the party and dies in a big heap? How do you handle the dead bodies? How many critters does it take to start filling up...

In reviewing the old conversion library, the new conversion library, and the library of previous material that is still to be converted, I keep wondering why more conversions have not been done. Are there conversions done that people just don't think are ready for primetime? Are the...

Can you awaken a treant? It is technically a plant, so it would seem that you could cast Awaken on it. mypetrock

I noticed that the one craft feat that they left out was Craft Epic Wand. I figured that it would enable players to craft wands for higher level spells. Is this an oversight or did they not make it for some reason? mypetrock

I'm going to be leading my group through the Against the Giants campaign (G1-3) converted to 3rd Edition. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for someone who hasn't DMed it before. mypetrock
