    What does "access to a domain" actually mean?

    Well why didn't you just say so?! Point me to those threads and we won't have to repeat ourselves here. Silly person. :p

    What does "access to a domain" actually mean?

    Considering that this is the part of the board that deals most heavily in specific details and accurate references, one should be careful of making sweeping generalizations such as declaring the fact that "most DMs" act one way or another. Now, "I think most DMs would not allow something" is...

    What does "access to a domain" actually mean?

    As much as I'd like to take your word for that, additional resources or confirmation would be nice. Hmmm. Here's what the Wizards.com SRD rtf file says (excerpt) under the cleric's class ability descriptions: "If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, he still selects two domains to...

    What does "access to a domain" actually mean?

    I've been looking more closely at the Arcane Disciple feat (from Comp.Div.), and considering related feats as well. Arc.Disc. allows the PC to add domain spells to his usual spell list, but does that imply "access" as required as a prerequisite in other feats? What does "access to a domain"...

    Why can only Ravens talk?

    re ravens: You assume they have something useful to say and that speaking would be beneficial. Evidentally you've missed the paragraph hidden in the DMG that suggests having raven familiars constantly distracting their mages and offering really bad advice. "Fireball? You're going to cast...

    Naughty or nice -- killed any Xmas elves yet this year?

    I considered attaching a survey to this, but didn't want to limit the focus. So the floor's wide open: Share your most interesting Christmas-themed RPG adventure, or what you've got planned for this year. I'm gonna fireball the Fat Man when he flies his sleigh within range. ... Venison rations...

    Ranger combat style, 2-weapon: usable with staff?

    Are the combat feats available through the ranger class' two-weapon "combat style" usable with quarterstaff, or only two separate weapons in each hand?

    Options for arcane healing spells?

    ... per level. More worthwhile.

    Options for arcane healing spells?

    The Arc.Disc. feat says the caster can add those domain spells to his arcane spell list, and memorize or spontaneously cast one per level each day. Does that mean a sorcerer with this feat benefits from extra spell uses per day???

    Wizard Or Sorc.

    When I used to play Monopoly with my siblings as a kid, I kindly took up the chores of banker, too. :]

    Wizard Or Sorc.

    I don't understand why so many people have cited the wizard's advance preparation as a big negative aspect. I've never had that problem; my wizard has always "memorized" exactly the spells he needs. ... It's not as though the DM checks the players' spell sheets ahead of time, after all. You...

    Options for arcane healing spells?

    re Extra Spell feat: does it specify that the spell must be arcane or divine magic, or can you cross that divide?

    re Arc.Disc.: Hnh. How the heck did I miss that? Good idea. Thanks.

    Need stats for a goat...what ought I use?

    I might start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat But it's a wiki, so you probably ought to confirm everything.

    A natural 19. I've never been able to roll a 20.

    Options for arcane healing spells?

    I'm trying to work through a character's early development to include access to a few minor healing spells -- even, literally, cure minor wounds -- but he's going to be an arcane spellcaster (not divine) and I don't want to multiclass in cleric, druid, bard or the like. Effectively, I guess I'm...

    How many of you actually use the term "buff" in game?

    Yes. In context: "Quick! I need a buff!" (mumble) "OK. I think I've got just the thing in my backpack ..." "What are you doing?! Keep that metal polish away from me, you **** dwarf!"

    How many of you actually use the term "buff" in game?

    I can get behind that, I s'pose. :\ Recently we've started using similar shorthand -- the DM and other players understand that "F6" (pronounced "eff-siks") basically means the first line of the party hugs the wall to flank and engage the enemy so that the second line can fire missile weapons...
