well, as I said above Green Whisperer never says "existing class" it says "bard" or "druid". I could find no mention of needing to already have those classes in Green Whisperer (and no mention of "existing class"), so I read it as "by RAW you can be 0 in Bard and Druid and cast as a 5th level...

I'm fully aware that it could lead to silly consequences. That's why I'm asking if there's anything in the rules that deals with the situation.

Green Whisperer, a PrC, has for Spells per Day/Spells Known: "+1 level of bard and druid class" In the Spells per Day/Spells Known section it reads (paraphrased): "at each level, the character gains new druid spells per day as if she had gained a level in the druid class. He does not, however...

it would seem that Nar Demonbinder only rears its head in builds like Bard 9/ Ur Priest 2/ Nar Demonbinder 1/ Mystic Theurge 8 over at http://boards1.wizards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=339 <-- the "Character Optimization" board at wizards. I thought I'd seen it around in a lot of spellcaster...

it's my understanding that Nar Demonbinder is one of the more over-powered PrCs along with Ur-Priest (although I could be mistaken, it didn't look too rediclous to me when I looked at it but it features prominently in many builds over at wizard Character Optimization forums). You could always...

yeah, definatly both. my only point was that the empire didn't stop using clones all together they just cut back the percentages or what not. I think another explaination (fan rationalization? :p) for why the Clone Troopers and Storm Troopers generally get statted out differently in games (and...

Lucas has said that the stormtroopers were clones, or at least 60% of them were in 4-6. Lucas trumps EU. EDIT: one source: http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/237059/news/articles/1501522/story.jhtml You can find more with google if you're interested.

if you were a big bad evil lich and this puzzle room was your last line of defense would you: 1 - make it so anyone who is very intelligent and good at puzzles can break it in a couple of hours or days or 2 - make it be a 32-place (or however many it was) combination lock with 3 choices per...

the odd thing, for me, is that by RAW the nosy town gossip would be targeted by any enemy spells because (s)he is certainly prone to "Mislead, gossip, avoid, watch suspiciously, insult" you :p Better be careful not to summon those badgers in town or else you might have some 'splainin to do' :D...

per RAW if the Hobgoblins are 'unfriendly' to the caster then the DM is just plain wrong and the summoned things will go for em (assumeing the caster had line of sight to summon them somewhere). If the caster knows about the hobgoblins or not has no bearing on if they are an 'enemy' per RAW...

I will stand corrected: PHB: "an ally is a creature friendly to you. In most cases, references to "allies" include yourself" disregard my last post as I was assumeing (because these questions were raised at all) that the PBH didn't have a clear definition of what "ally" ment or how it was...

That really depends on if you think magic targeting is a metaphysical matter (what is acctually the case) or an epistemological matter (what you know to be the case). If not spell casting in general, at least if the designation of ally is knowledge-based or reality-based. Similarly the...

so if the pyromaniac PC were to say throw a fireball into a room with a wooden foor with sawdust on it, would the floor light on fire? Or is a floor considored to be "attended" because people are standing on it? (AFAIK - attended means it's on someone, yes?). So, what are the rules to light...

I think a compelling argument could be made that since Fireball specifically mentions lighting things on fire it could be a special exception to the general rule (which would apply to all such spells that didn't specifically contradict it), no?

go questing / hunting for bizzare and rare components to craft the item = 0 exp to create, or a reduction, or bonus exp for crafting it. It's an option that I am fond of, as long as it doesn't dominate the game. You can always add it in as a side-plot to the main plot though. example: The PCs...
