Bone Marrow Donor Drive for Erik Brandenburg Saturday, November 15, 2008 10:00am - 3:00pm Downers Grove Public Library (main floor meeting room) 1050 Curtiss St Downers Grove, IL In September 2008, our friend and fellow gamer Erik Brandenburg was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome--and...

We've heard that half-elves still exist. And we know that "elves" now refers to the wood elf/wild elf type, and that "eladrin" seems to apply to the former high elf/gray elf type. So do you think 4e half-elves will be descended from elves (4e style), eladrin, or either? For consistency's...

The Paragnostic Apostle prestige class (Complete Champion p. 94) gains the following ability: Bolding mine above. So, just to be clear, is the modifier: [(PA level + other class level) x 2] + Int modifier, or (PA level x 2) + other class level + Int modifier? Strict interpretation of the...

If an elf paladin takes the 5th level substitution option (from Races of the Wild), does the unicorn mount improve its HD, BAB, and saves as a magical beast? The PHB text specifies that paladins' mounts improve their stats as animals (although they're considered magical beasts), but the mounts...

Heroes of Horror presented the Fiend-Blooded prestige class, a 10-level arcane casting class that seems to be aimed specifically at sorcerers. However, as one of its prerequisites is 8 ranks in Knowledge (the planes), it would appear that a single-classed sorcerer can't enter this prestige...

Here I am again in my endless quest for interesting grafts... :) Anyway, since folks here were so helpful last time, I was wondering if someone would be willing to give me a summary of draconic grafts. Also, which book(s) do they appear in? Thanks!

So, I recently became interested in the concept of grafts (I started a couple of threads on the subject in the Rules forum a little while ago). From what I heard, the Fiend Folio was a good primary source for different types of grafts, so I thought I would try to get ahold of it...

I'm hoping someone can help me puzzle out the wording in this alternative class feature for sorcerers. For those who haven't read Complete Champion yet, the relevant text follows: You do not learn a new 1st-level sorcerer spell and a new 2nd-level sorcerer spell at 5th level. From now on, you...

Off the top of my head, I can think of three: Augment Familiar, Enhance Familiar, Fortify Familiar (all of which are listed in the Spell Compendium). Are there any other spells for the combat familiar that I'm missing?

After reading the description of the fleshwarper (from Lords of Madness), I have become interested in the concept of grafts. Unfortunately, the main source of information on grafts seems to be the Fiend Folio, which I have recently discovered is out of print (according to the nice guy at my...

In the PHB, familiars are noted as having HD equivalent to their masters, for all relevant effects. Later in the same section, under skills, they are described as being able to use either their own skill ranks (as a normal animal of their type) or those of their master for any skill possessed...

I remember the Magical Artisan ancestor feat from 3.0 Oriental Adventures, and I believe Forgotten Realms had/has an analogous feat with the same name. Does this feat still exist in 3.5? Is it still an ancestor or regional feat? Thanks.

Hi all-- The description of the Expeditious Dodge feat in Races of the Wild (+2 dodge bonus to AC if you've moved more than 30 ft) states that this feat counts as Dodge for purposes of fulfilling prerequisites. My question is, how does this work with respect to subsequent feats which require...

I think there was a consensus ruling on this, but I can't find it anywhere. Can a character take a feat at the same level that he meets the prerequisites for it? For instance (and I know this is a clumsy example), suppose a fighter1/monk1 takes a level of paladin for his 3rd character level...

This is a convoluted, long-winded, multi-part character development question that probably skirts the boundaries of the RAW somewhat. However, if anyone’s willing to take the time to read through it, I’d be grateful for any and all perspectives. As a thought experiment (since the apparent...

...if a spellwarp sniper...ahh, never mind. Anyway, I was toying with a few character ideas the other day and looked at the Spellwarp Sniper (Complete Scoundrel, p. 64). For those unfamiliar with this prestige class, it's a five-level class with full caster progression and a set of nifty...

Just wondering, since my poor archivist can buff everyone else's key stat but not her own. A quick perusal didn't turn anything up, but I haven't studied this question in depth yet.

How far can someone go in modifying weapons and armor that are "usually preconstructed with specific abilities"? I imagine it's a fairly simple matter when the character just wants to improve his +3 frost brand sword to +4. How about if a character wants to make his +2 greatsword into a +3...

I haven't found a ruling anywhere on this... The Divine Oracle prestige class (Complete Divine) gains the ability "Prescient Sense" at 2nd level, which functions more or less identically to Evasion (except that the oracle can use it in any type of armor). The text describes it as a "form of...

I was originally going to post this in the "underpowered half-elves" thread, but it seemed like that thread drifted a bit... Anyway: Having recently read Races of the Wild, I noticed that there were a few feats that had "Elf" listed as a prerequisite. My question is, does the half-elf's...
