Hi guys, I have a cleric with the fire domain. It allows me to rebuke/command fire creatures and turn/destroy water creatures. My question is: What constitutes a fire creature? Is it any creature with a fire subtype (fire giant, red dragon)? Or does it have to be a fire elemental type...

I think you're right about Accelerate Spell. I think I'll change it so that there is a change of two units instead of 1. So from 1 hour/level, it drops to 10 minutes/level then to 1 minute/level. I think a 1 minute/level mage armor at level 0 is fine. This would also change the minimum...

Hi, I'd like some input as to how balanced these feats are or any suggestions for improvements. Feat: Spell Extension Prereq: Extend Spell Description: A spell cast with the Spell Extension feat has a duration that lasts one unit of time higher than normal. The spell must have a minimum...

But what about a different class? I have a different question about DR. Suppose I have a character 10/10 barbarian/templar. Does DR that comes from class abilities stack like other abilities (such as Uncanny Dodge). So would my Barbarian/Templar have a DR of 5/- (2/- from barbarian plus 3/-...

Thanks for all the responses guys. I had no idea my question could cause as much controversy here as it did in our campaign (we stopped playing and various people argued for all 3 positions for about 30 mins). :)

Hi, A question arose in our gaming group today about constitution and HP damage. I will outline the situation as follows: Crae'ar, 5th level Human Wizard. He has a 15 constitution (+2 con bonus) and 30 maximum HP. He was struck for 16 points of damage earlier today, leaving him with 14...

Just curious...why won't my method work? I'm not a math major or anything, but it seems to me that if you assume that all your rolls will eventually average out to a "perfect distribution" (1, 2.25, 3.5, 4.25, and 6), then couldn't you just use that as a shortcut rather than going through all...

I'm going to attempt this the idiot way. 3d6 has an average of 10.5 (Assume a perfect distribution of 1, 3.5, and 6. 1+ 3.5 + 6 = 10.5) 4d6 has an average of 13 (Assume a perfect distribution of 1, 2.67, 4.33, and 6. Drop the 1. 2.67 + 4.33 + 6 = 13) 5d6: Assume a perfect distribution of...

How my DM does it... The way my DM plays monsters is that they (almost) always attack the character who is the biggest threat. If a monster takes more damage from a sneak-attacking rogue than the fighter, then the monster will concentrate all its attacks on the rogue until it drops. If it's...

I once played in a campaign where another player named his monk Hung Lo. :)

Hi, just some question on whirlwind attack: 1) If you are 5 feet away from a spellcaster with mirror image and perform a whirlwind attack, do you make one attack at all the images as well as one attack at the caster? Or just one attack at the caster (with the chance to hit a random image)? 2)...

The Epic Weaponmaster is located at the WOTC website in the Epic Insights section on Epic Combatants. It should be here: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/ei/ei20030215a BTW, they get a bonus feat every 3 levels.

The Giant Hulk This prestige class first came about when the dwarven berserker Brikar Stoneheart lost a duel with a giant. He blamed his loss on his lack of size and so became jealous of anyone who was taller than him. He set out to make himself larger, and the result of this quest for...

I'd go Human Ranger 15/Shifter 10. Then I'd fight as a dual-wielding Iron Golem. Immune to almost all spells, 33 strength, and +22 natural AC, plus whatever equipment you're wearing. That is sick.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm thinking of using a ghost to either kidnap someone or steal an item. A ghost can't turn things ethereal, but if the ghost could gate into the Prime Material plane and grab an item/person and run back through the gate, that item/person would then become...
