I see what you are saying here, but I have a question. I can only remember the books saying "square", but do you count squares or count squares that you can legally move through? So in your example, since you cannot move through a wall, going from 1 to 2 would be a square closer, even though...

The player's guide to FR had a list of deities for paladins, not all of them were LG. Mystra was one and is NG. Don't remember Kord being one though.

I would be more inclined to have the Turn attempt give free will to the undead and let them decide what to do. Something along the lines of them deciding on a fitting retribution. Admittedly more homework for the DM, but he could default to attacking the necro, but could provide aid to the...

As Elf Witch and a couple of others have said, trading skills might be okay. Remember that the DMG ( maybe DMGII) has rules/advice about modifying classes. See if the DM is happy to do so. I've always thought sorcerers having bluff pretty much came down to: ":blush: Honestly, I did NOT burn...

A couple of things to think about. While you know OOC that he is stealing, does the PC know that the rogue is stealing? Making sure it is the rogue is important. As others have said: Alarm, Curse, prestidigitation (colour bright pink, or a hidden mark), physical trap, mark all your items in a...

I wouldn't change things just because other swarms have something, (hopefully) they didn't miss it and it was intended to be this way. My theory on that is that there is no size bonus because swarms are made up of many tiny things (so you don't target an individual) rather than being one big...

Personally I'd go down the pedantic route and say that most of these give a defined number of squares pushed so they don't stack. I wouldn't claim it as totally RAW though (it MIGHT be RAI but there really no indication to that other that the bonuses not stacking). Looking at it from a PC being...

Actually the assumption is that you fail at least ONCE, on the first attempt (because if you cannot try again you cannot take 20). If you can fail, then there is no guarantee that you can aid another at the time when the aided party needs it to produce the best result (a "22" on the roll)...

Why must the person selling the items be powerful enough to protect himself? If they are selling costly magical items then they are likely to be able to afford guards. If even this is problematic then the magical/mundane equivalent of surveillance cameras should be employed. Example: a...

Actually it'll be possible once in 20 attempts, since ANY save succeeds on a natural 20. I'd leave it as the feat. Just realise that if the javelin ends up sticking out of you because it HIT, you HAVE caught the javelin.;)

My gaming group has a general way of handling things. Items specific to the dead PC stay with the PC. So if the healing belt was an item associated with the corpse via them buying it, received it as a gift, joined the party with it etc, it stays with the corpse. If it was an item the corpse...

I had heard 10k per feat, but it really boils down to how the DM (+ players) want to run it. For me the way to go about it is: find something similar and use a comparable price. if you can't, proceed to step 2. stat everything out (the amounts, why this bit costs $## and that costs $**) and...

If the players are saying that the bulkyness of the quiver is what would cause problems (it can't be the weight), then maybe the PCs need to remember what they are carrying around. Quivers of Ehlonna are fairly common but are the same size as a normal quiver. Backpacks, magical or not. Swords in...

While maybe not working at lower levels well, you can always try for the equivalent to "quick diplomacy" which is -10 for 1 round of wild empathy-ing.

I've used: Spell a name differently, Mikal to Michael sometimes also deliberately mispronouncing it and then spelling it phonetically (Mhykil). Works better with foreign names as they are not as recognizable Join two names together: Leanne + Anna = Leanna Adding "ara", "er", "are" or "al" to...

Something else to consider is that except at low level (<=5 maybe before that), the mounts themselves are the weak link. You have to use a fair amount of resources to make it hard to kill or they need to be special. Also, if the lizards can climb walls and the drow are appropriately strapped...

If assuming that something is behind the curtain I wonder how they got out of the room. Assuming ;) there was a door, how can they assume that there was anything behind it? Or as someone else suggested, that the floor was there and not 500 feet below with the beds floating? To try and be...

The moon and Mars have a number of natural formations that dwarf their Earth counterparts. Martian "canals" and "faces" spring to mind as well.

I think there is also a reference on the multicalss section on leveling up in the PHB that addresses this (1st character level only)

Given this I would ask your friend what bit of the text contradicts the metamagic feat to allow him to cast without a level adjustment. Ask him to explain his reasoning. Then you can specifically refute his point rather than saying "nope, wrong"
