Wednesday night my character's party encountered a Balor , a Balor with extra hit dice, better SR, quickened spell like ability: blasphemy, and probably a few other neat tricks that we didn't get to see. It was there to deliver a message to the party. My (chaotic) character, not one to give...

I'm just starting to look through my shiny new 4th ed players handbook and I noticed that Fighters are not proficient with plate armor. Why is this , it's a break in theme from previous editions? Is there a mechanics reason to justify it? (Is there a search feature on these boards for those...

A bow of exit wounds does an extra 1d6 damage and attacks targets behind the original target with a penalty of -4 to the original die roll per target (_4 for the first -8 for the second and so on) How does this enchantment interact with woodland archer. Where if a target is missed during a...

A fellow player in my game is frustrated with the way his monk is turning out in combat, but he’s still quite happy with the monk from a role playing perspective. He has decided that his monk wants to forgo the pursuit of enlightenment and pursue the path of pounding opponents with his fists...

I just got a copy of races of the wild. I looked at the champion of corellon prestige class. It has: ten sided hit dice, full BAB, four bonus feats, dex bonus to damage that stacks with strength bonus, it allows the character to bypass the dex restrictions on armor and, as if that weren't...

Folks here use the acronym RAW frequently What does it mean? Rules as Written? Ridiculus Agravation from WotC? Read it And Weep?

I've been away from D&D for about a year (there are lots of other games out there). I've not used the 3.5 rules previously. My group is starting up a pretty loose 3.5 game (use whatever you want from the class books and race books, bring in whatever you want from other sources and we'll...

I have a psychic warrior who is closing in on ninth level . I will soon have to choose another third level power for him. I have improved biofeedback. I think that displacement looks good but I don't see anything else that really catches my eye. Are there any good 3rd level powers at the...

I have a Psychic warrior who just reached sixth level. I am trying to choose the ideal second level power to take. I'm considering the power that grants a +2 insight bonus on to-hit rolls, I hope to use it with persistent power after the character gains 7 levels or so. I already have psionic...

A character can only make one magic item per day (DMG 242). Randomly generated scrolls contain multiple spells on them. If a character wants to write several spells onto a scroll with the total cost for all of the spells being less than 1000gp, does each spell count as a separate magic item?

The metamind presige class in the psionic handbook is built on the idea that it grants the character taking it more psionic power points than they would otherwise have. Sadly the nimber of power points that the class gets is tied to level of metamind rather than "caster level" as a result a...

I have a psychic warior in a game who is about to get fifth level. He uses the great sword and I would like to continue with this. When the character gets to fifth level I will want to grab a third first level power. This is the last first level power that the character will ever be able to...

Any reason why a spellcaster couldn't cast this one on himself or herself?

Last night I became aware of the nimbleness enchantment from Defenders of the faith. My cursury reading of this enchantment gave me the impression that nimbleness provides a +4 bonus to AC and an extra partial action every round. and the impression that nimbleness is a +3 enhancement bonus...

People in my Wednesday night game recently informed me of this (apparently extremely broken) feat. I assured my fellow players that I had never seen it and that I had no plans to over-twink the character I had in the game any more than I already had. It occurs to me however the DM in my...

The text of the improved metamagic feat With regard to the creation of wands and such I'd not allow this feat to apply. I'd use rule 0 to do it because I think that the wording of the feat implies that improved metamagic does work with scroll creation and the like. Would you allow it to work...
