(I'm talking about 3.5 here.) I've been DMing for a while now, and I've always taken for granted the blanket system of space-per-size: 5 ft. for Medium, 10 ft. for Large, 15 ft. for Huge, 20 ft. for Gargantuan, etc. Only recently did I notice that, especially for Huge and Gargantuan...

Do you know of a document that has a comprehensive spell list for every class ? If so, could you link me ? It seems like it'd be fairly simple to edit it to make the abbreviations consistent, or to replace the abbreviations with full names (simply a matter of Ctrl+F). If not, then that's your...

Brilliant. I was not yet aware of these epic item guidelines. So are we to presume (since I don't see it written) that epic items can only be used by epic characters ? Ah, but if we're saying it's half of a +20 weapon, then that could perhaps better be interpreted as half of 800,000, or 400,000...

Starbuck_II: My mistake; I thought that footnote applied to both use-activated and continuous items. So you're right, except that it's 17500, not 16500 (oops), so the total is 70000 gp. Thanks. And the 1/day ring of avatar's guidance would only cost 2400 gp. -edits OP- Dandu: I know. I've...

As a DM, I try to be as open as possible in terms of what I allow, to foster the players' liberty as well as creativity in building up their characters. As a part of this, I allow them to formulate whatever magic items they like from existing spells and abilities, as long as they follow the...

The five resistances was of course merely an example, off the top of my head. I was referring more to the general principle. Thanks for your input. I think radmod's #2 is probably the most conclusive argument against such a practice. Good thinking. :)

Companions and wild cohorts do not level with you. They advance as you level, but only according to the corresponding chart. (For companions, you go by your druid level; for wild cohorts, your character level.) Companions and wild cohorts cannot take class levels unless they are awakened to...

One of my PCs is commissioning a fairly complex/expensive magic item, and has suggested that multiple casters could work on the item at once, each of them contributing to a different component, so as to cut down on the time it takes to finish. For example, if you wanted to apply...

While Crystal Keep is certainly the most comprehensive and useful such source out there, it is worth noting that it is still not complete. The spell lists were last updated in 12/2005 (just after the Spell Compendium was released), and 21 more sourcebooks were released since then, most of which...

Yes, I think you're right about there being two different meanings for the same word. They really could (should) have clarified the distinction more. And while all references to "cohort" in the Leadership description appear as singular, it is never explicitly restricted to one. (I'll go with...

Long-time reader, first-time poster. ~ [3.5] DMG 104 This seems fairly straightforward to me ... but a quick search reveals that a great number of people seem to think there is a maximum number of cohorts (possibly one ?) and are seeking out ways to gain extras. Am I missing something here ...
