    So, in 3.5e rule, once a cohort lost a level, never catches up?

    All debating and incredibly bad advice aside (dang guys...the Leader losses a level too?!?!): Treat it logically. I'm sure the rules as intended didn't mean for this to be a major issue. I'd be willing to bet if you submitted this question to WotC you would get a similar answer. Simply...

    Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil Wards

    I've played one for quite some time. It is a wall. A wall is two sided. He cannot cast spells through a violet ward...unless he walks through it and casts. I typically cast a wall (not a surrounding sphere) of violet and move through it, cast, and take a 5 foot step back through. Remember...

    Possession & MCvE - How would you rule? (My players stay out)

    If it was a movie or story, the section of the floor would become amphorous and move. You can do this or have it break out. Either that or you can say...it IS animated but it can't actually move. I'd be against that idea because I'm not a fan of arbitrarily weakening a character's ability...

    kind of embarassed to admit it, but...

    Tio further clarify: The class is not important, nor the ability score of the writer. I'll give you an example: A sorcerer (using charisma as the requistie ability) writes a Summon Monster Scroll: A wizard finds it. He must have the appropriate INTELLIGENCE Score (he's not a sorcerer and...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Novie 3.5 DM needs help - XP related

    Personally I never have a problem with this as I run a strong roleplay group and run Story Focused games (the bar maid a crush...the warlord enemy has amassed an army and the players need to find help before tackling them, etc etc). Fights are the climax of the session (a series of scenes to...

    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D 3.5 Rules (to any mods watching)

    No point. Some people Major in Minors.

    Can you critique these affiliation rules?

    Give a +1 or +2 bonus to a single skill. At higher ranks, give another bonus to another skill. That the highest rank, give +1 to attack, or Damage, or AC. But not all. I wouldn't do more than the above with any organization. Check out the organizations in Complete Champion. Their benefits...

    Healing Belt underpriced?

    Yes, this topic has been talked to death. Very one forgets the bottom line: The Healing Belt pricing isn't broken...the pricing we've all been using in the DMG is broken...per WoTC. The magic item pricing system is wildly overpriced and MIC is their preview to 4.0 fixing it. 20,000g for a...

    Can you critique these affiliation rules?

    +2 to ALL X based skills is amazingly powerful. Make it +2 to ONE, or TWO skills if you want to push the envelope. Also, the initiative bonus, extra AoO, bonus to TWO ability scores (even one ability would be overmuch) sound very potent. Joining this organization will empart powers on par...

    Sneak attack while swallowed?

    I can. You can't sneak attack while grappled. Swallowed is the same as being grappled for the subject.

    PHB II thoughts

    If you're a good player, there's no such thing as better or best in regards to someone elses opinion. Sure a X class character may be more technically powerful than X class, but that's irrelevent in a roleplaying game. You're beguiler may be all bad and stuff, and your Ur Priest all uber, but...

    New Magic Staff

    3 charges divided by 3 works out mathematically if you price items like Staff of Defense. The Price I come out with is 41030g. Plus 300g for a masterwork staff. Time to make 20 days plus time to make masterwork staff. Cost: 20515g XP Cost: 1641 CL: 13

    Scroll Questions?

    I don't agree with that. A wizard carrying his Staff of Power and reading a scroll doesn't have to drop the staff. Complicating scrolls in this way diminish them. They are a spell completion items that someone pumped xp into. It should work as intended. Scrolls are simple. Keep them...

    Attribute Score Increases

    Honestly, having crossed over from AD&D directly to 3.5, what a "reasonable stat" is won't really be relevent. In our day, these stats really were Lines that were hard to cross, and when they were it was pretty huge. Nowadays for a higher level fighter to have a str in the high 20's or even...

    Power word stun

    Break enchantment works with most arcane spells that aren't a curse. Dispel Magic works too.

    What are your favorite RBDM tricks?

    As a DM, my job is not to "Screw over the players." As a Player, I don't play with DM's who think its theirs.... :D

    Help me create a broken, munchkin character!

    Specifically, try an Artificer if you have Ebberon Campaign Setting. As everyone knows who recognizes me, I think very few things others think are "broken" are actually broken. BUT, the Artificer is definately more powerful than the designers intended. First, an Artificer can do anything. An...

    Maximized Dispel

    Ah. Thanks jaelis. That answers that. Oh...and of course it's a random value. d20 +CL max of 10. 1 to 20 is a random value. Hehe.
