Greetings! In regards to 3.5 and the Holy Avenger, it states that a Paladin can use SR and greater dispelling based off of the paladin's level. I'm assuming this means class level, and not character level, correct? Thanks!

I ordered mine a while ago from walmart, but as more and more information has become available, I've started to really doubt this purchase. Some of the changes were needed, so much so that there were common house rules for them. However, many of the changes I simply thought "why are they doing...

Sorry about the multiple Archmage threads... I was just about to point it out here when they started to disappear. For some reason the boards were not responding (timeout). So, I was never taken back to my thread. So I waited and tried to post it again. I don't know if the server was bogged...

I haven't seen it here so I thought I'd go ahead and throw this out. Spell Power no longer increases save DCs. According to Andy Collins in this thread , Spell Power is now a "true caster level increase." That makes for a very interesting revision, and makes the Archmage much less appealing...

I was participating in this thread and decided I'd like to solicit some feedback regarding Wish. My inquiry is two-fold. First, have you, as a PC, every actually *cast* it? No "I was the DM and an NPC cast it." No, "well it was a one-shot, so what the heck." You get the idea...

I've seen a lot of references to Detect Evil picking up the evil part of an alignment. IIRC, Detect Evil doesn't work like that... scanning the LE human doesn't show up as evil. Only creatures with the "evil" descriptor, evil clerics, undead (any), and evil spells or magic items show up. Am I...

Just a thought I had. One of the big drawbacks of the Epic Spells in the ELH is their reliance on Knowledge (x) and Spellcraft. The Knowledge ranks provide Epic spell slots, while the Spellcraft is used to determine how powerful a spell one could cast. Can't this be better handled by using...

I recently played in an epic game with an elven arcane archer. I was shocked by the sheer amount of damage he pumped out each round. Both of us are level 30, I'm playing a sorcerer while the arcane archer has 23 levels of the class. So he was explaining to me how he did so much damage. +12...

Take an Epic Sorcerer, give him Auto-Silent Spell x2. Said sorc goes to cast a maximize fireball. Does the spell require a verbal component? Same Sorc, replace Auto-Silent x2 with Auto-Quicken x2. Again, maximized fireball. Is the spell quickened? The feats say any spell below level X is...

Hopefully this is an easy question... Concentrating on a spell takes a standard action. The text describing concentration implies you cannot cast another spell while concentrating, but does this hold for quickened spells or if one is hasted? I checked an old sage FAQ, didn't find anything in...

We're starting an Epic Level game in which I'll be playing a sorcerer. After playing a quick session, it seems to me that the Epic Level rules have quite a bit of potential for falling apart. Since I don't plan on taking Epic Spellcasting, my biggest concern is that my spells will become...

In the thread What are the "problem" spells in 3E?, we compiled a listing of spells, their problems, and some solutions. While there is a word document available for everyone to download and view, I thought I would put the contents in a new thread to get some feedback. Like the previous...

I recall seeing something about displacement and sneak attack, but I can't recall. Any references about rogues, sneak attack, and displacement? Thanks!

So the thread on harm got me thinking (a rare and dangerous thing, I know), what are the "problem" spells in 3rd Ed? Let's keep the discussion centered on the PHB/SRD spells please! Cloud, what do you mean by "problem" spells? I see problem spells as those spells deemed as either 1)...

For anyone serious about an Epic Level Villain.... Elimor Dionir Physical Description: Elimor stands 7’ tall, broad shouldered, strong as ten men. His hair has grown white from his travels, yet his body is only that of a man approaching 30. Just under his left black eye is a small cut 3...

Healing Hands [Epic] Prerequisites: lay on hands class ability, Charisma 15+. Benefit: The number of hit points you cure normally per day is doubled. Pretty easy feat. Critiques?

Seriously, inquiring spellcasters want to know. Boccob's Blessed Book is hit with a disjunction. It fails the will save. What state is the book in now? Are all the spells gone? What all happens? Similar question with a bag of holding. Any thoughts?

While creating 26th level adventures for the Epic Level Adventure in the ELH, my fellow PC was a monk who wanted to use his fists. Unfortunately, monks get a very limited number of feats, and spending all of them on Ki Strike improvements didn't sound like a winner to him. So the DM allowed...

Complimentary SPOILER warning. Read at your own risk. This is for those of you who have ran through the adventure or have simply just read it and would like to discuss. If you plan on playing in the ELH Adventure, this is NOT the thread to read. I recently played in the adventure as a...

Would someone explain how this works to me? I'm assuming the use of "free action" is misleading, and it should be "not an action", otherwise what's the point?!?! Also, when does one decide to reflect it? Can I decide to reflect after I fail my save? After I take damage? Before something? I...
