    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] alternates to Freedom of Movement?

    In this particular dungeon, it's all interiors, and standard 10 ft. ceilings, but that's an idea for if I design a space (or get to choose my battlefield) to do it in an area with some headroom.

    Ways to get hold of War of the Burning Sky

    So, the only way to get #9-12 right now (in 3.5) is to get the full hardbound book, or purchase the PDFs individually (RPGNow or elsewhere)?

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] alternates to Freedom of Movement?

    The specific situation I've got now is that there's a dungeon of spellcasters (minions and generals) that the PCs entered, caused a rukus, and then were forced to retreat out of for a day. The question is, now that the enemies know their tactics, what can they do to prepare for when the PCs come...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] alternates to Freedom of Movement?

    Oh, that's right, there's two ways out of a grapple; a boost to Escape Artist checks would do the trick too! So now I at least have a few different tricks to use; I could use freedom of movement for all the magical encounters in this particular dungeon, but I'd like to keep it interesting for...

    Ways to get hold of War of the Burning Sky

    3.5 whole set? I'm interested in the 3.5 version of WotBS, and after subscribing, I can find download links to #1-6 in the "old" downloads area, and #7 and 8 in the "new" articles area. But I'm not seeing #9-12 anywhere. I believe the 4.0 conversion is not complete for those episodes, but are...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] alternates to Freedom of Movement?

    Right! Which is why I'm here looking for ideas, since I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Assuming the BBEG memorized two DimDoors, and failed to beat the Warlock's initiative. Then combat would look like: Warlock: chilling tentacles; BBEG is grappled BBEG: dimension door; to just...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] alternates to Freedom of Movement?

    So, I'm DMing a group of high level PCs, one of which is a 12th level Warlock who has chilling tentacles (effectively black tentacles as an at-will ability). Since those tentacles have a grapple check of +20, they're pretty darn effective against non-fighter types, especially spellcasters (12th...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Command Undead mind games

    Caster vs. Caster, or Caster vs. Controlled? The charm monster spell has the CHA check for if the controlled critter can throw off the control, but since a Zombie is specifically mindless, it probably wouldn't even try to throw off control, so a Caster vs. Controlled CHA check it would probably...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Command Undead mind games

    So, I have a PC necromancer, who's got three Ogre Zombies following him around, two of which he controls through the original animate dead he cast on them, and one through command undead. Now, as fortune would have it, the group is going to encounter another Necromancer in the near future, and...

    the Awakened Animal thread

    Spellcasting Awakened A little thread necromancy here, though I recently found this thread through various cross-posted resources. And I've been thinking of awakened animal spellcasters, and the above argument that they would not be able to use tools/weapons/somatic components/material...
