    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D 3.5e/Path Need some help maximizing leadership.

    Usually, when you "cheese" leadership, you do so by chaining leadership feats, ie you have a royal guard of minions, your cohort has leadership & is the "general" with his own battalions, his cohort is a major w/ leadership and so on until cohort levels are too low to take leadership. It sounds...

    Post your party alignment here! *Systems with nine alignments only*

    DM's word is final... and illogical?

    There is nothing in RAW that forbids the dragon/human type/subtype combo. Also, raw specifically differentiates types from subtypes, and the template says it only changes the type. Unless the subtype was an illegal match, it would be kept. Elsewise we would get things like 1/2 dragon nixies...

    DM's word is final... and illogical?

    Umm I know I'm new and all, but I think you're wrong. Human is not a type, it's a race, and races are not types. The template changes type to dragon. Therefore he would stop being humanoid(human) and become dragon(human) with human as more of a subtype. Furthermore half dragon is not a race...

    Wall of Fire Horizontally?

    In addition, what happens if the wall extends past the reverse gravity spell? Does that droop, does the entire wall exist as a diagonal? Is there jsut a sudden shift midway?

    help me build a juggernaut

    Just my 2 cents, maybe wanna get something like a (maybe multiple) +5 eager sundering greater dispelling adamantine sai too, so you can literally burst through normal walls easier like a juggernaut, and sunder the enemy's magic items. With 1 hit you can suppress spells on the item and with the...

    Wall of Fire Horizontally?

    I agree that the wall must be 20 feet high. If you want to cast one 20 ft wide, you could always get a friend to be a planar shephard in a plane w/ subjective gravity, use the bubble, then orient yourself sideways so that high is wide to the enemy.

    Need some class suggestions/builds, evil DM.

    That it is, but at the same time it allows you to basically solo anything with less than 100 hp. Since you give no warning of what you're doing, and since you have no components you can cast PW:P from hiding or really as any kind of surprise attack (acting before or even without having to roll...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3rd/3.5] DMing Tips -- Friendly DMs assistance please?

    Generally, keep the pace going. Try to keep rules discussions out of the session even if it means being wrong during session. If the PC's are standing around, make something happen, helps to have a random occurence table to be rolling against. I like to make the PC's feel a sense of urgency...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Blackrazor questions 3.5

    I would say it depends on your character alignments. If true law, then too bad he's out of luck, if you're lawful good, then you should prolly pay, if it's chaotic anything, then too bad. If he's chaotic anything then why does he care? If he's true law, then too bad he should abide by the...

    Need some class suggestions/builds, evil DM.

    I like going sorceror with all power word spells in full plate and a tower shield, get silent spell and still spell too. It's all like hi i'm talking in character while i'm casting silent power word pain, ok, now run, expiditious retreat, 1 min later, all dead. Grab a level in archivist too to...

    Can an Artificer scribe martial scripts?

    In order to make a martial script, you need scribe martial script feat which requires 1 level in either crusader or swordsage, no warblade. You can't go around that I would say you can bluff knowing the maneuver since maneuvers are class features, so just UMD 20 for class feature. Your...

    Looking to do something cool with Clockwork Menders

    are you talking clockwork mender or the swarm version. If you have a swarm, it's pretty dang useful by itself. I don't think you can equip boots onto a clockwork mender, it has no feet. Also i don't think you can give it air heritage as it is a construct. Besides it's only 1d8 per day, so...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Racial HD, ECL, and Reducing LA. (3.5)

    So, Char start as ecl 5 (2 HD +3) at ECL 14 (2 HD 3 LA 9 LVL) pay 13k to be ECL 13. Then gain 5 more levels to be ECL 18 (2HD 2LA 14 lvl) You are correct sir. The next time he levels up, he should be able to pay 18000 exp to lose another LA.

    DM's word is final... and illogical?

    You sir amaze me. I personally think an awakened animal is a magical beast and no longer a squirrel but an awakened squirrel, semantics i know but still. I makes sense for an awakened squirrel to be 20lvl wiz but not a reg squirrel. Also we should really stop derailing this thread, is there a...

    DM's word is final... and illogical?

    what? you have a build that has squirrel mages with 20 lvls in wizard that aren't sentient (ie int still lower than 2), I can sorta see lvl 20 cleric squirrels, but... wizard... int... Ok i guess i was working under the preconception that int 2 was needed for squirrels, i guess you could make...

    DM's word is final... and illogical?

    Zesty, forcing you a background sucks a bit. dragons can take character levels, all monsters can take char levels as far as i can tell, some won't make sense (no 20 lvl wizard squirrels) but it's doable. Bahamut has a keckton of non dragon levels and a dragon of the great game literally has...

    A 'Tank' Suggestion.

    For tanky, I like to go hexblade3/paladin2. In full plate with a tower shield you'd have 10+8(plate)+4towershield=22AC which you can bring up to 26 (amm of nat armor, ring of prot, +1 to shield and plate) for only ~6k that you can improve over time. At the same time you'd get double cha to all...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Ressurection spells (3.5)

    I personally like the presence of spells that bring folks back to life. It allows me to play a bit harder on the players, throw in traps that are deadlier etc. It also let's me on good conscience throw in things that SoD (recently threw a phantasmal slayer at them). I also like the spells...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 use of fly spell questions

    I think it orinally has to do with the horse realizing it can fly. Just because the horse is given fly doesn't mean it will use it or that you can get it do fly. An int 2 creature acts instinctually, and I'm fairly certain that a horse's instincts dictate that it can't go up, and trying to go...
