    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Alter Self

    I think the PHB races would be allowed, too, wouldn't they? (just for the purpose of completeness) Human: no bonuses Half-Orc: no bonuses Just came to my mind: humans get an extra feat at 1st level, does that count as a "racial bonus feat"? I doubt it somehow...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Noteworthy spell changes

    Maze requires the target to make an INT check (DC20) each round to escape, or wait until 10 minutes have passed. Plus, SR applies :) The Mind Blank / Discern Location - conflict is finally resolved: Mind Blank is more powerful :)

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Noteworthy spell changes

    Flame Arrow now simply gives the flaming property to projectiles (+1d6), so no unlimited fiery bolts anymore... :( but the duration is up to 10 min / lvl Forcecage now requires the material component at the time of casting, not during preparation of the spell. So finally sorcerers can cast it...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Noteworthy spell changes

    Feeblemind now lets CHA drop to 1, too. Also, INT- and CHA-related skills can't be used anymore.

    Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe. It's really awesome. IMC, all of a sudden the PCs wanted to estimate the number of smiths in a town, and I could tell them... In general, the thoughts about the effects of spellcasting on a medieval society in general are quite insightful. I've always...

    Antimagic Field questions

    No, the AMF suppresses all spells brought into it. No. Since Silence is an emanation, and the source of it lies in the AMF, the effect is completely negated as far as I understand. If you are within 10 ft of the sensor, you would suppress the spell with an AMF. Not sure if you can be seen if...

    (Greater) Dispelling Screen

    I think it's called "Otilukes (Greater) Dispelling Screen" and can be found in Tome&Blood. HTH

    Healing Circle Question

    Shouldn't Healing Circle (PHB) grant a Will save instead of a Fortitude save, like all other Con(Healing) spells? Perhaps I missed some errata... If not, would undead have problems with this spell, like failing their save automatically?

    It's in the D&D MainFAQ:

    D&D 3E/3.5 [semi-OT] [semi-3.5] What is "Cold Iron?"

    IIRC, the "don't-throw-it-back"-reason was only one of two, the other was the "Oops-I-got-a-bent-Javelin-in-my-Shield-and-can't-use-it-anymore"-reason. That's what the pilum was designed for: to overcome the feared greek phalanx, a heavy infantry with mighty tower shields. The romans would throw...

    Best spells for underwater and at sea?

    When you are engaged in naval combats, some Wall spells directly cast before the enemy ship are surprisingly effective. For example, a Wall of Fire should get rid of those nasty sails (and posiibly some sailors). Or imagine a galley in full speed, crashing against a Wall of Force . Summoned...
