    Trap Tiles/Tokens

    Just spent two hours on google and am having no luck. I'm looking for a variety of trap tiles or tokens, printable or purchasable, for use with 1" sq. maps. I can't believe I'm having so little luck finding a good resource in this area. Yeah, I can find the occasional spiked pit trap tile...

    3.5 Game in San Antonio (W/NW)

    Hi, Our group is looking for one or two more mature players to join a 3.5 mixed homebrew/module game in the forgotten realms setting. Starting lvl 3 and going until the party wipes, or everyone decides it's time to roll new characters. We would be meeting every other weekend, sometimes sooner...

    Druid Shapeshift Clarification?

    Making an NPC from a minotaur-like race (6 racial HD, +2LA, and the Feral template) who will have 4 levels of Druid. Since he won't have wildshape I was looking at the shapeshift alternate class feature from PHB II - I'd like to use this as it's always available and easy to manage/use, however...

    Enhancement bonuses

    If you have a magic item with a +4 enhancement bonus to Str, does the spell Bull's Strength which also grant an enhancement bonus not benefit you at all? Are there any magic items that offer a Str bonus using something other than enhancement? Like a sacred bonus or something?

    Powerful Build/Half-Orgre Template

    Interesting question has come up and I'm not sure how it should work so any help would be appreciated. I have a player who is looking at applying the Half-Ogre template (Dragon 313, p 96) to a Goliath. Since a Goliath is considered a medium creature the template says he grows to large gaining...

    Powerful Charge/Pounce?

    Looking at adding a levels of Barbarian to a Minotaur NPC to increase his CR and the whole lion-totem-pounce thing came to mind to make him even meaner/more challenging (things PC's can do I let more advanced monsters do as well). So the Mino can charge/pounce and do his full attack routine...

    Best Cleric Domains

    Now I know the topic is completely subjective based on what you want your Cleric to do; healers want the Healing domain of course and undead fighters are probably looking at Glory and Sun among others. For a combat orientated Cleric though, what are some good domains to snag? War, if your deity...

    Removing Racial Hitdie?

    So there are quite a few awesome monstrous races that would be fun to play as a PC but between the LA and the Racial Hitdie they just don't work to include in most parties, especially if you start in the low levels. How do you feel about removing the Racial Hitdie (to include attack bonus...

    Race Help

    I'm planning a campaign for our group that will include a lot of bestial humanoids where humans are the oddity; Minotaur (and the like) being a big part of the population. I recall seeing an humanoid Elephant-like race but for the life of me can't remember what they are called or what book I...

    Spell made as Ring?

    Question came up while making a ring; the spell put on the ring is Raging Flame (SpC) which is normally an area spell, when put in a ring does it still generate the area of effect or will it only work on the wearer? If the former, can it be made to only work on the wearer? Thanks.

    Protect Your... Weapon

    I've looked through MIC, A&EG, Magic of Faerun and Google (for what that's worth anymore with all the irrelevant 'hits' on searches these days). I'm looking for a way to protect a weapon from rust and acid damage - Everbright seems to be the only way but I thought I remembered seeing a cheaper...

    Selling Crafted Items Help

    Away from books, hoping someone here can provide a quick answer/reference; One of our players is proposing that when you craft an item you don't sell it for full listed market price (ie: using weaponsmithing to make a longsword, you should be able to sell it for 20gp right?), however he said he...

    +Cha for a Sorc

    I'm looking at making an NPC that will join our party for an adventure but will become a villian in her own right, going for a 3rd level Sorc build to match the party level and am looking for a template with a good Cha boost. I know I want the dragon heritage feat (gold), and the regional feat...

    Type/Subtype Question

    Probably a fairly easy answer to this, I'm just unsure myself how it should work. I'm making a Shield Dwarf and I'm adding the Shadow Creature template (Lords of Madness, p. 168) and have a question about how to apply the type/subtype. The template says the type/size is unchanged, but continues...

    ToB, Warblade, & Feat Questions

    Going through the ToB a lot recently I'm finding a lot junk - the Warblade in particular seems to get the short end and I can't figure out why. So, here we go; 1) Why is the Bloodstorm Blade PrC, arguably a Warblade focused PrC with it's Iron Heart requirements, the only PrC in the book that...

    Warblade Questions

    So I'm looking at making a fighter build and while all the feats are nice, the maneuvers from ToB look fun to try out. While Warblade fits the build idea the best I think it has some rather useless features; weapon aptitude being one because how often do you really want to change the weapon your...

    Drow Racial Weapons

    Aside from the Scorpion Chain and the Drow Longknife, are there any other Drow racial weapons? Hand crossbows are common, but not Drow specific. Another question along the same lines; in our campaign we allow 'racial' weapons to be martial for their race instead of exotic. This opens up the...

    How the H does Pinning work?

    About to start a new game and I've got a grapple beast planned out (using oriental adventures) but even the 'Grapple Guide for Dummies' didn't help me understand pinning. Character; ECL 3 (monk 1 [stunning fist], fighter 1 [imp. grapple], feral template) regional feat: jotunbrud (powerful...

    Base Save vs. Iron Will

    I'm pretty sure I have this right but not sure where to find validation; I have a player asking me if the Iron Will feat adds the +2 to Will saves to his Base Save score because it is an unnamed bonus, and this is his reasoning; Base Attack and Save Bonuses The base attack bonus and base...

    Build Validity?

    Probably has been conceptualized before me, but I just got an idea around building a Monk/Soul Blade with the Tashalatora feat from Secrets of Sarlona and then tacking on Vow of Poverty for a low magic, slow xp progression campaign we're going to start soon. Would it work? It's cheddar, but is...
