    Shadowcaster?

    It's edge is that it's balanced and fair. The further you get into the life cycle of 3.5, the more reasonable the classes/feats/powers become. All the truly broken stuff is non-updated 3.0 material. If you want to be a shadow based guy: Erudite: 5, Ectopic Adept: 5, Shadow Mind: 10. Make sure...

    Oh. Is that the problem? Not having the updated material? Achoo!

    D&D 3E/3.5 Rules Query - 3.5E - Line of Effect for Spells

    Now my spell affects a single target. I apply after I channel: Doesn't say it is part of the spell or part of the casting. It is APPLIED to the spell. So I apply it after I channel. I choose to apply: So, Now I'm casting a Beam of Force Wall. Even though it's being affected by a Invocation...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Rules Query - 3.5E - Line of Effect for Spells

    Customized Wondrous Item created with DM permission Various Metamagic combos to shape the spell and create a dome. I remember a combo involving turning a wall into a single target, then ranged, then a ray, then ray into a cone, then sculpt spell to do something really weird, but frankly, I...

    Help with Initiate of Nature Canon

    Ohhhh... My bad. Did you read up on the Handle Animal Rules involving skill tricks? Here. I wrote up everything from every source in one file. Be warned it is quite lengthy. That might help.

    Help with Initiate of Nature Canon

    TL;DR So, going off the title only, and not bothering to read anything else, I assume you are trying to fire Initiates of Nature out of a cannon. Now, normally cannons are not allowed in 3.5, but the seacraft of Thay do have Bombards. So, you could indeed load an Initiate of nature, into a...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Rules Query - 3.5E - Line of Effect for Spells

    If you want to block both line of sight and line of effect, you use Darkway. It's a force bridge you can't see through. Great for screwing with chargers, targeting spells, and various other dangers. Now, the wall of force, is it in wall form, or a dome? If it's a vertical wall, does no good...

    Oddities in the rules - Again

    Yes. Always. However, the players don't care who knows the weapons are powered up and have them on all the time.

    Trying To Decide...

    I don't know. What rules aren't you enforcing? Are you skipping over movement on a grid? Are you ignoring spell components? Are you making sure players HAND you the spell lists they have ready and are you checking them off as they use them? Are you enforcing resting times? Are you enforcing WBL...

    Binder 1/Erudite 5/Anima Mage 10/ArchPsion 4 Or Erudite 5/Shadow Mind 4/Grim Psion 10/Mindbender 1 Grim Psion turns you into an undead, so it might be redundant. Binder/Erudite combined with anima mage and archpsion basically makes you into a virtual powerhouse of Action Breaking. Time becomes...

    Trying To Decide...

    You've obviously never run a campaign from level one to epic. This is the sort of thing someone who's never done it would say. Not judging, just pointing out that this isn't how the game works when you ACTUALLY enforce all the rules. That's the key to epic games. You have to enforce ALL the rules.
