    Help with the "Mobile Spellcasting" feat.

    Mobile Spellcasting allows a caster to cast a spell and move up to his normal move rate as a standard action. Would this feat be usable on a mount? Or would the fact that you are really not moving, but having your mount move, prevent you from using the feat? (That is my view.) Mind that is does...

    Please Help me Defend Darkhold

    Any location designated as a stronghold should be difficult to penetrate, stealth being the best bet in normal circumstances. Several key points to remember: 1) This place has access to a very crafty wizard in the form of one Manshoon. While his physical presence is not necessary, there are...

    Replacing lycanthrope DR with Regeneration

    Try fast healing instead. Not nearly as powerful as regen, yet really holds its own.

    Feat for touch spells????

    It very well could be. I am not certain either way about this particular issue. Post if you find the answer. Thanks!

    Feat for touch spells????

    I don't believe so. You only get two actions normally. You could move and then cast the spell around the corner, but not cast move and then target. Identifying your target is a part of casting the spell. You cannot start a spell, hold it while you move, and then release it around a corner. At...

    Need advice on class restrictions.

    It is of import to note that I utilize the spell point system presented in Unearthed Arcana, and I also allow the spontaneous use of all metamagic feats that a character selects so long as the character meets level requirements and has the appropriate amount of spell points. I have decided to...

    Need advice on class restrictions.

    Alright folks... allow me to bend your ear. I am starting a new campaign shortly. It will be my full time campaign and feature dragons as its main movers and shakers. I want magic to be very earthy and spiritual...much more akin to the sorcerer and druid than to the cleric and wizard. I also...

    Help with the bastard sword.

    I could tell you, but I don't want to offend anyone's sensibilities.... :]

    Help with the bastard sword.

    Unfortunately, Monkey Grip won't do anything for me. See, the real question is, does the bastard sword's special rules for wielding one-handed come into effect before or after taking my feats into consideration. I would say after... otherwise the Exotic Weapon Bastard Sword feat would be...

    Help with the bastard sword.

    Alright... I have the distinct pleasure of playing a Dire Human Werewolf. This template, while awesome, presents some difficulties for my character, such as the size difference between his human and hybrid forms. So I tried to think of a weapon that would suit his particular needs and came up...

    Handling PCs with wings

    Something that I make sure to enforce, although it is a big pain in the tuckus, is the maneuverability rules. They can take a powerful flying character and really knock him down a notch if you go from ignoring the rules to enforcing them.... They are a little clunky though...

    Need help with Lycanthropes... fast!

    Thanks, guys! I suspected that to be the case, although I preferred to get some secondary opinions. Later!

    Need help with Lycanthropes... fast!

    OK. SRD gives rules for creating a Lycanthrope... "Alternate Form (Su): A lycanthrope can shift into animal form as though using the polymorph spell on itself, though its gear is not affected, it does not regain hit points for changing form, and only the specific animal form indicated...

    What to do about mass death?

    Thanks for the advice. We have had multiple talks about strategy, even things as simple as flanking. They seem so.... self-centered... we have had 3 deaths from bleed-out despite my repeated warnings that they had x amount of time left. I confess that it could be my fault because my fights are...

    What to do about mass death?

    Hey all! A bummed D.M. looking for advice. I play at my FLGS. I run a homebrew campaign with 9 players who attend regularly. It is a warrior-heavy group, with a cleric. Last session, I saw 8 deaths...P.C.s that is. They are horrible. They have no sense of team, no sense of tactics, no sense of...

    Repeating Great Crossbow?

    Hey all! Working on a dwarven sniper type character. What do you think of a Repeating Great Crossbow? I figured that it would cost 600 gp and require an exotic weapon feat to use. I cannot see anything wrong with this, as the Heavy Repeating Crossbow is very similar in function. Opinions?

    Best 6th level Spells

    I will raise my hand for Disintegrate. Remember that it can solve problems like Wall of Force. Later!

    Worst D&D products ever.

    I only read to the 3rd page of posts, so apologies for replications. Regarding "Tomb of Horrors" and those that are bashing it. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. But before you bash it too hard, remember these little tid-bits: I read an interview with Gary Gygax.... I think in an...

    2004: What have you bought, what will you buy?

    Alliance and Horde Compendium, Manual of Monsters, and Magic and Mayhem from the D20 Warcraft series. Fantastic! Dripping with flavor and goodies. Makes prestige classes what they should have been in the first place. Giants of Legend D&D minis. I cannot comment on the skirmish version, as I...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    I read this post yesterday and it got me thinking..... I haven't read all four pages by the way, so please forgive replications. I can think of a couple reasons why undead and what it involves are considered evil. 1) The first thing that came to my mind is disease. Not so long ago, say during...
