Can you trick someone into Voluntarily Giving up a Saving Throw against a different spell that you say you are going to cast? For example: Wizard: "I'm gonna cast a spell on you now that will let me see through your eyes, but for it to work I need you to give up your safe." Not too smart...

It seems that everyone assumes that synergy bonuses stack, but is this correct? Just to be clear; what I mean is do synergy bonuses to a skill stack? For instance you can get a +2 to Diplomacy from Bluff, Knowledge (nobility and royalty) and Sense Motive for a total of +6 if they do indeed...

Reading Dispel Magic (quoted below) I have to say I'm unsure if the targeted version dispels the magic weapon spell on the sword carried by the fighter who is the target of a dispel magic spell. I looked in the SRD to find anything about attended objects, but I can't find it. What made me look...

The rules assume you can speak a little as a free action each round, but they are far from crystal clear. A few questions come to mind: Can you only speak on your turn or also as a free action at any other point in the initiative order? How much can you say as a move action, standard action...

If someone readies an action (like 'I shoot the mage when he starts casting'); I think it should be possible for that character to hide the fact that he's readying*. This can be important because of the choices people might make if they know someone is readying something (they can never no what...

I distinctly remember reading an interview with one of the 3rd edition designers in which he made an interesting remark on saving throws. According to him, the goal had been to balance the saves in such a way that 2 characters of the same level had a certain perecentage change to make or miss a...

I'm looking for one specific store, but if anyone knows of any other stores I'd like to know about them too. I was in Minneapolis 4 years ago and found a store that had lots of old D&D novels and ever since I've been kicking myself that I haven't bought all the books I need to complete my...

This might be of interest to some people on this board. I have created an Excel sheet generator that uses the tables in the Silver Marches book to generate the weather (and weather effects) for an entire year. It's also possible to add your own weather tables and to adapt it to other regions or...

Ok, so we've all seen the Sultans of Smack but how about a new challenge. Show me a smackworthy character of no more than level 10, without any magic items. Only WotC books allowed (I know they aren't all that balanced, but including Relics and Rituals and friends just makes the smacks silly)...

Quite a number of spells (Poison for example) use the following text when describing the saving throw: (DC 10 + one-half caster level + caster's Wisdom modifier) I can only interpret this to mean that the DC gets better as the caster gets more levels. Example: 8th level Druid (wis 18) vs 18th...

The following is an 'in character' journal of a new Forgotten Realms Campaign we have just begun. The journal can also be read (and downloaded) at the Forgotten Realms Campaigns website. The website also has the character sheets for all the characters and some other extra's. Houserules...
