    Java-applet Group Dice Roller

    What I'm after is simple enough -- a java dice roller program that can somehow be viewed by multiple people at the same time. I guess a java chatroom that had a roll function would work. Something similar to that, anyways. If anyone knew of such a thing, it'd be someone around here. So...

    Wildshape (polymorph) question

    What qualities carry over from a person's natural form to a form assumed by polymorph? I know you gain the Ex. attack forms inherent to the new shape, but what carries over to this shape? Supernatural qualities? Extraordinary qualities? I'm suddenly wondering about this, because I want to...

    Negative levels and power points?

    I assume that psions lose power points when they suffer negative levels, much the same way that the vancian spellcasters lose spell slots. So, how many? 5 points per level, like HP? Some number based on the psion's manifester level? I never found the relevant section in the 3.5 psionics...

    Where's Enhanced Summoning from?

    I saw Pax mention it in the thread on summons that he mentioned, and I know I've seen it before, but I can't seem to find it now. What book is it from? For that matter, is it a feat, or an Alienist class ability?

    Would the Paladin and the Ranger be unbalanced if..

    Would they unbalanced if they had caster level = class level, as opposed to caster level = 1/2 class level? As they are now, their spells, upon which a large bulk of their power rests by core rules, are pretty weak -- very short durations, low bonuses, and easily blotted out by dispelling. But...

    Dragons & Sorcerer levels

    Now, if a dragon gains sorcerer levels, it adds them to its existing sorcerer levels. Can dragons that can fill sorcerer spell slots with divine spells (like red, gold, and silver dragons) still do so if they took sorcerer levels? If an adult red dragon (automatic 7th level sorc) took 11...

    Specialists and spell trigger/completion items

    I've recently written up a conjuration specialist whose barred schools are evocation and necromancy. Wands, staves, and scrolls of spells from the barred schools would not be usable by my character, correct? Are there any spells outside of those two schools and Melf's Acid Arrow that makes for...

    Sword-chucks/Vigoorian Flail

    While 8-bit Theater has had the Sword-chucks as a running joke for quite some time, Ninja Gaiden went ahead and included a weapon that basically is sword-chucks. It's a pair of sickles attached with a chain, and Ryu can somehow use the things like nunchucks without shredding himself. Any ideas...

    Do Druid Animal Companions count as magical beasts?

    I could swear that I saw in the SRD that the companion's type changes to magical beast, but I was looking through it again and couldn't find that. Is an animal companion actually an animal, or is it a magical beast? edit: I had a complete brainfart and forgot that animals get feats in 3.5.

    D&D 3E/3.5 What's a good feat for a 9th level 3.5E druid?

    My druid's feats are Power Attack, Cleave, and Natural Spell (from Masters of the Wild). I just hit 9th level, but if there are any neat choices available now, they haven't occured to me. Best I can think of is Craft Wand (I've always found wands to be handy), Great Cleave (yeah, brown bear...

    What the heck is a Bohemian Ear Spoon?

    I was looking through a 1st Edition PHB (didya know that 1st edition fighter/mages could cast in armor without penalty?), and I saw in the weapons list "Bohemian Ear Spoon." Seriously. What the hell is that? The 1E PHB doesn't describe any of the weapons beyond their stats. Sorry if this...

    Could use some help writing up an 8th level druid..

    The character is for a campaign that's starting up in a week or so; the campaign will be with 3.5 rules, stats are to be rolled, and the DM specifically mentioned that characters shouldn't be lawful; he wants to run a mercs campagin. Druid is a weird blend of melee fighter and summoner, and I...

    Does the spell failure chance from armor apply to using scrolls?

    Just something that never really occured to me before. I'm guessing that it does, but it never hurts to ask. Thanks.

    Armor Spikes & Grappling

    Now, I know that armor spikes may be used to inflict damage in grapples. There's been some confusion in my group as to just how someone getting wrestled by a spikey dwarf actually works, though. 1) When making a grapple check that would deal damage with the armor spikes, does the grappler get...

    Do Third Eyes and headbands occupy the same item slot?

    It came up in our game yesterday, and it turned out that nobody was actually sure. Some of us thought that Third Eyes have their own slot, the rest of us thought that they go in the headband slot. Can anyone here elighten me? Thanks.

    Armor Spikes & elemental enchantments

    Let's say that the fighter has +1 Flaming armor spikes on his full plate. How exactly would that work out when the enchantment is activated? Would the spikes start igniting whatever combustables they were in contact with? Would they simply not interact with what's around the fighter until he...

    3-way mayhem: Fallen Angel vs. Insane Cultists vs. PCs

    Inspired by the combination a very bad movie, a headache, and just being in a weird mood, I've got the following (realistically, it will be a few months before I could run it in IMC, but I'm tossing this up while I still remember stuff) 9th level Party, possibly 10th, composed of a 2/7...

    Magic jar + rezzing ?

    Hooray for hypothetical situations. Let's say a spell caster (probably a wizard who has Limited Wish to cover the messy part of this, though it could be a cleric with Magic Domain or Miracle) has cast magic jar and is now riding around in someone else's body. Now, sometime after he grabbed...

    New +1 weapon enchantment: Incapacitating

    Hopefully there isn't some other pre-existing enchantment from a splat-book with this name.. What it does: While a weapon imbued with this enchantment can no longer take life, it still hurts. Attacks made with the weapon deal normal damage; however, the weapon cannot reduce a victim below 0...

    New +4 weapon enchantment: Venomous

    What it does: The weapon is imbued with the ability to make a poison attack 1/day. This attack is handled much like a Smite attack -- you declare it before you make the attack roll. If the attack hits and the victim is susceptible to poison, then the victim must make a Fortitude save with a DC...
