    DMG magic item Errata?

    Some things to note: Generally text in the description beats text in a table, so 57k would seem the value (but then there is the SRD:-S). Magic items that are created with spells do not always EXACTLY follow what the spell does. There are a lot of items in the DMG (weapon flaming & frost come...

    continual darkness

    I thought that if equal level light and darkness spells met, they negated each other leaving the ambient light being predominate. From the 3.5 Light spell "A light spell (one with the light descriptor) counters and dispels a darkness spell (one with the darkness descriptor) of an equal or lower...

    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D 3.5: Harvesting Dragonhide

    How so? The obvious (if somewhat niche example) is losing your spell component pouch in some way (stolen, being captured, or found in a compromising position with someone). If it never happens, then yes, the feat is useless. If it is possible to lose your pouch, then not so much. A DM could...

    Aid Another & Search

    I agree with Dandu. Selected one be the main person and the others to aid, then roll. Generally this would be the person with the highest modifier since you only have to beat DC10 to aid. The other things to be careful on: To aid someone you must be able to perform the task yourself. So a...

    Should this be fixed

    Although it should be used carefully, filling the serial numbers off a PC and using it as a foe can a good way to see how players react to the power level.

    Looking for a LA called Feral?

    Sleep is a spell, thus its use on a fighter is covered in the bolded part. It could be said that this specific case overrules the general HD=/=level case. So by RAW fighters can be affected. Nowhere in the PHB description does it state that templates are included, and try as I might I cannot...

    Getting my head around the Bard

    This. Every extra bit of damage someone does because of your boost is damage you have caused. If they hit only because of your boost ALL the damage is because of you. :p get everything out of it that you can. It is a different mindset of how you deal damage. Even grease thus becomes a damaging...

    How do you support a hobby store when you don't buy products from the hobby?

    Coffee machine & snacks. If in the area, instead of stopping at some coffee shop to get a drink or snacks go there, bring friends/family etc. As mentioned you do not have to by 4e stuff, just something from the store.

    Need rogue help

    :confused: I was not aware that more than one person could effectively be the caster of the wish spell. Are you sure that only one PC said all those things? As for the 3rd point: :devil: what a kind hearted DM, since NEVER getting any XP, or items (or weight?) for that matter, is certainly...

    Should this be fixed

    On a slightly different topic, how does the dwarf deal with all the necromancy in the game world? Why are there not more actions to destroy such things? Surely there has been more than 2 actions in two years. It would seem that the party would run into more than 1 non evil necromancer in more...

    Should this be fixed

    I applaud the DM's style in providing interesting treasure and how the situation has been handled so far. As a DM I wouldn't "fix" the problem because it wasn't one that I made (for the record, I wouldn't have provided that type of treasure if I thought that the dwarf's necromancy=evil problem...

    D&D 3E/3.5 (3.5) Improved trip, two weapons

    Um, Vegepygmy there is a contradiciton here (see bolded). I did say that you have to use the sickle (or the +1BAB situation) in the given example.:-S

    D&D 3E/3.5 (3.5) Improved trip, two weapons

    If you use the sickle to trip, you have to use the sickle to gain the "free attack". The book says "as if you hadn't made the trip attack" and you did not use the rapier in that instance so you could not use the rapier. That phrase is used with the monk description, and really only relates to...

    Player Bonuses

    Personally I'm not fussed whether the bonus is feat based or skill based. It is whether I can get use out of it. (For blatant self promotion :p) Here is part of an old thread regarding the Cooking skill and ways to make it useful --------------- Lets see, some general some specific (It is just...

    Player Bonuses

    Personally I'd change the Scribe Scroll feat into a skill bonus (prfession scribe, craft calligraphy), unless the scribing expertise is specifically magical scroll scribing. Would making them unable to poison themselves be too strong for your game? +2 Heal checks dealing with poisons (maybe +4...

    Why is Space always too small ?

    I do not know about whales specifically, but they changed the Space/Facing rules between 3.0 & 3.5. They dropped facing and different shapes for different critters in favour of K.I.S.S. which in some instances made little "real world sense" but made game play easier. Horses as large critters...

    Marking

    I agree with the above points. Everyone knows when they are marked, and SHOULD know that if they do not attack the marker in some way it'll be bad for them (whether you do or not would be situation dependant) even if they do not what the effect will be. I (at least) handle it as one of those...

    +Magic Armor Rules -Help?

    By that I mean the DM has followed the the reasoning you think I have. That was why I said the two needed to have a look at the specific rule the DM is using. Okay, looking back admittedly not that clear.

    FR's Mystra is NG and sponsors paladins. Can't help with the Great-sword/War domain though.

    +Magic Armor Rules -Help?

    I never interpreted the rules the way your DM does, I run/play in games where it is a total +10. You could always ask nicely for a rules clarification by asking where the rules state this cap. Then you can thrash out the English used. :) If it is a house rule, then tough luck ;), but it should...
