We will run a short DnD 3.5 campaign and I don't remember anything of the rules. :) I need to convert an 5E item to 3E5: the Staff of Defense. It basically let you cast Mage Armor and Shield. But it also gives the wielder a +1 AC. What sort of bonus should the AC be?

Wasn't it supposed to be a press event whwre they would reveal the comming settings and new format? Or did I missunderstand?

I found this site: RPGBOT - DnD 3.5 - Base Classes It includes: Barbarian, Bard, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Rogue, Scout, Swashbuckler, Warlock, Warmage, Wizard. Missing base classes: Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Sorcerer.

Thanks. The link was EXACTLY what I looked for. I checked the link and the minmaxforum has problem with it's SSL-certificate (the cert is used to change the beginning of a web address from http to https). A site that has problem with https isn't dangerous by itself. It's used to prevent...

Hi, we are starting a new DnD3.5-campaign. Problem is that even if we have all the books we don't remember how to play. I know that there's at least one guide for every class published - problem is that those threads are at least 10 yrs old and very hard to find. I tried to google the old class...

I have an almost complete set of Star Wars d20 that I thought I could use. Star Wars with The Force is as much Fantasy as it is Sci-Fi. So I thought that I could replace a galaxy far far away with a water world, and all the planets with islands, and all spaceships with sailing ships (or maybe...

Could you please use the right teminology? Instant death has nothing to do with massive damage. Massive damage is an optional rule in DMG. p273.

We tried this and didn't like it. It resulted in that some characters had 2 or 3 levels of exhaustion almost all the time - not fun. For us the problem was that characters at zero hp, and thus dying, could jump up and fight again as soon they got 1 hp back. Our solution: if you are at zero hp...

Why does new players know about Spelljammer? Maybe because they saw this pic even before they heard of DnD?

1. The spell says "every object in a 20' cube", so according to the spell everything, including the ground, glows with luminous light. 2. The purpose of the spell is either to "see" invisible creatures/objects, and/or to make it easier to hit someone/something. Why not just allow the caster to...

Compare Animate Object with Find Familiar. Animate Object doesn't have the word initiative in it, so the objects has the same initiative count as the caster. About the ten poisoned daggers: I would allow it. 1. The wizard spend 2000 gp for one attack. 2. The daggers could be fastened to a...

See this as a lighthearted answer. You can cast the glyph on a chest standing on a flagstone, and then dig up and carry the flagstone around (with the chest on top) - it's like you cast a glyph on a chest in a carriage and drove away with the carriage. You can cast the glyph on a surface, like...

after reading the spell description I think it should look like this: So maybe not every grain of sand, but definitely stones and twigs larger than an inch.

If you take a look at the encounter building chapter in DMG, you'll see that the difficulty increase isn't linear when you increase the number of monsters. i.e. if you double the number of monsters the encounter becomes more than twice as hard. As long as you are aware of this it shouldn't be a...

Yes, but the rules was streamlined in 2E compared to 1E. So even if you used the same rules in 2E as in 1E, it was less complex. As far as I remember (it was a while since I looked through the rules) spellcasting times were quite simple: Wizards added the spell level to the initiative roll and...
