To what extent do you all think that D&D is a boys game? I say this because traditionally in our society the role of women has been as wives and mothers and the role of men has been one of protector and provider for the family. It has traditionally been the man's job to protect his family...

What do you all think is the reason for people's negative reactions to D&D? D&D is a valid form of recreation and in fact it is a much healthier form of recreation than going out and getting drunk or doing drugs and yet people's reaction would not be as negative were I to be doing drugs. I...

How many of you play music while playing D&D? I like playing the music of Mozart when playing D&D. I think there was a thread like this awhile ago but I'm not sure so sorry if this topic has been discussed previously.

Do you find alignment restrictions in 3.5 to be unrealistic? The reason being that throughout history there have been evil persons who belonged to good organization and they did not lose any of their power whereas in 3.5 they do. The inquisition, corrupt priests (this in no way means that I...

I have been thinking of creating an adventure where the players by some magical event travel to another world entirely and have to find their way back to their own world. I have in mind the players traveling from Eberron to Dragonlance and I want them to arrive in Dragonlance exactly somewhere...

I was thinking of a way to defeat an Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil and I thought of the set Seven Veils in the MIC. Each veil in that set gives you immunity to one of the 7 prismatic effects.

I was reading the description for immediate actions and it says that you cannot use immediate actions when flat-footed. Now at the start of combat you are flat-footed so does that mean that you can't cast the spell nerveskitter (The Spell Compendium version) which gives a bonus to initiative...

Is it just me, or is the rate of thread necromancy increasing? It seems that every new member takes it upon himself to raise at least one, maybe more, threads up from the grave. And it's mostly threads which people don't care about.

When you are adding special abilities to weapons which don't have a weapon bonus such as +1, +2 etc. and instead have a cost of say 20000 gp. how do you determine the weapon bonus equivalent for purposes of figuring out what special abilities you can or cannot put on a weapon?

I decided to make a list of items which I thought were useful. Feel free to provide feedback on them and add your own. *Armor Special Abilities*: MIC: Roaring CL 13 (Adds a bonus to initiative) Twilight CL 5 (Reduces arcane spell failure chance by 10% so your wizard could wear a Twilight...

Does the headband of intellect give you bonus spells when worn?

So spell resistance prevents helpful spells also and iirc you can lower your spell resistance to allow helpful spells to affect you. I want to know is it possible to simply decide to lower your spell resistance once and having it remained lowered without for example having to lower it again for...

Can you apply divine metamagic to spells you are casting off of wands?

I have a question about Shocktrooper and it's use for a cleric. 1. Is the reason why shocktrooper is considered a good feat because on a charge you can transfer your penalty to attack bonus to AC? 2. Can a cleric benefit from shocktrooper or are there better uses for the feat slots then the...

When you cast touch spells on yourself, does the range of the spell change to personal? I want to know whether I can apply persist to it then or not.

I was reading the entry for greater consumptive field and my question is, wouldn't persisting such a spell allow the cleric to gain an almost limitless amount of strength and bonus hitpoints seeing as how there is no limit on the amount of strength and bonus hitpoints a person can gain from this...

What is the tendency of D&D characters to play female wizards and male druids as opposed to the opposite? The reason I say this is because wizards are generally weak in combat as opposed to the druid and no girl can be attracted to a guy she can beat up. And a guy generally is not attracted...

Do you all use the artificer class outside of the Eberron setting? I know that it is possible to have the artificer class in FR if a DM wanted to by having them hail from the island of Lantan.
