Keep on writing. Agreed. Please keep writing, Sep. You're an inspiration to many of us.

Heya Thornchrest ~ I might be interested. Where in LA do you guys game? What type of game is it? D&D 3.0/3.5? How often do you guys meet and when do you meet? What is the focus of the game? Is it more RP or hack n slash? How big is the current group? Thanks ~ Alex

What About Shadow based creatures? I'm not sure whether having a familiar is a benefit or a hazard from a metagame perspective. I've always looked at familiars purely in terms of roleplaying, but I would agree that if the companion isn't adding to the roleplaying of your charater then it is...

What does everyone think about adding the Elemental subtype (from Manual of the Planes) to the Improved Familiar feat? This would mean you could have an air elemental owl or a fire elemental hawk. Would 3rd level be a good minimum level since the Elemental subtype seems to balance out fairly...

Can a spellcaster cast spells while wielding a two handed weapon? My thinking is that you can hold the weapon with one hand while casting. A free action is required at the beginning and end of the round to release and grab the weapon with the hand you're casting with. Is this question...

thanks for the help guys. the rule is quite clear, thanks Hyper, but i think i'm going to go ahead and allow an attack of opportunity against the weapon or in the case of natural attacks against the attacker. seems reasonable. the only way I could see this becoming a problem is if both...

thanks for the FAQ Hyper. it's just as I thought, hitting a displaced, blinking, mirror imaged illusionist is one tough task. this combo is gonna make my little rogue/illusionist/arcane trickster one tough nut to crack. Alex :cool:

If you are attempting to sunder or disarm an opponent with a reach weapon do they still get an attack of opportunity to do damage against you if they are 10ft away and can't reach you? If not, would they be able to either sunder or disarm your weapon as their attack of opportunity since that is...

Imp. Crit and Keen Edge Why take away the Imp Crit/Keen Edge Combo? Is it me or is 3.5 just a big nerf fest of everything that was cool about 3.0? Did they actually add any value into the game or just nerf all the rules that uncreative players couldn't come up with on their own. Personally...

How do you roll an attack to hit an invisible, displaced, blinking mage with with mirror images? Are there multiple miss chances? Are the mirror images displaced as well? Does being invisible cancel out the displacement and mirror image? What if the attacker can see invisible opponents? Do...

I'm pretty sure the 'death spiral' is the intended goal, kind of a knife fighting mentality so-to-speak. I'm not sure I subscribe to it either. I'm concerned as well that it will slow the adventure down considerably because the party will insist on continually healing up to full hps and that...

Our DM is considering implementing a rule that imposes a penalty of -1 to -4 on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks depending on the amount of damage a PC/NPC has sustained. 99% - 76% of total hps = -1 penalty to d20 rolls 75% - 51% of total hps = -2 penalty to d20 rolls 50% - 26%...
