    WotC ruling on TWF + Flurry of Blows

    Wizards covered this in one of their latest Rules of the Games articles: Rules of the Game: Unarmed Attacks (Part Two) They specifially rule that: A monk cannot use a flurry when using anything other than an unarmed strike or a special monk weapon. A nonmonk weapon or a natural weapon can't...

    Death ward on amulet of nat armor?

    There was also a version in Magic of Faerun which was superceded by the one in the PGtF. I came upon this thread because I was looking for a way to make my mage immune to death effects and I don't want to bother our group cleric/druid to help me. All the effects listed here so far are limited in...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Blindsight 3.5 - not for wizards anymore?

    My last character a monk had the Blindfold of True Darkness. 30' and the loss of all other vision makes it unpracticle for a wizard though. Improved Blindsight (now Greater) had 60' and could be made permanent which was nice. It's strange to see that the spell level for that also got decreased...

    Legacy Item Penalty Question

    I really loved the idea that legacy weapons gave the players sort of minor artifacts early in the game and that they could harnish their abilities over their natural progression. We played the Yuan-Ti adventure path and there were plenty of nice legacy weapons in there which i substituted for...

    Legacy Item Penalty Question

    Yes they would since you need to complete all the rituals up to the point where you can use the item. But seriously penalties for magic items? Wizard / clerics losing spell level slots? As a DM I loved the introduction of legacy items since they allow nice balancing and the characters loved to...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Blindsight 3.5 - not for wizards anymore?

    Looking at options as of how to obtain blindsight as a wizard I was shocked to see that Blindsight, Greater in the SC revision is no longer on the wizards spell list. Since I remembered having a Wizard with that spell before I stumbled across the extended permancy list in Savage Species and...

    Online resolution of copyrighted material

    Personally i think it's a pain in the arse that neither WotC nor Paizo put full previews of their tiles online. This makes buying tiles and floor maps sort of fishing in the dark. The only clue Wizards gives you is the general theme of a set. I've come to point where half a shelf is full of...

    if hands-free cell = distracted driving, why isn't talking to passengers?

    I was so distracted discussing a work topic with a colleague while driving that I got clocked. Pretty much says it all. I believe though that hands free calling shouldn't be banned. Likewise listening to audio books or the plain radio on the car should also be banned.

    [December] What are you reading?

    Noam Chomsky - Media Control if consciously able to and His Dark Materials from Philip Pullman before going to bed.

    Online resolution of copyrighted material

    Does anyone know if WotC has specific legal rules for posting material for review purposes online? For example I prepared nice photographs of all Dungeon Tiles to have an overview for all published editions so far or of battle map material from adventures. I got a couple of requests already whom...

    Dominate Person - Sage Advise needed!

    Kudos to everyone for this wonderful thread so far! I personally saw the "Dominate Person" spell so far as more limited but the discussion here has opened up new possibilities our group will think about. The sense motive is kind of a joke with a decent mid-level group. Plus I'd grant my players...

    Dominate Person - Sage Advise needed!

    We all pretty much know that this particular compulsion spell is a mess. Our group has been arguing about the limitations of this spell ever since 3.0/3.5 came out. I was reading a Realms of the Dragons short story the other day and also remember how Araevin Teshurr was dominated in Forsaken...
