I'll just echo what lacunae says, watch out for big strength builds. In the campaign that I DM, one guy played an ogre, pumped his strength, and was doing massive amounts of damage with his greataxe. Add in reach . . . ugh. Unfortunately at that point in the campaign I couldn't just throw in...

This question came up last night in our game when my evil cleric cast desecrate, then animate dead. From the desecrate spell description in the 3.5 SRD: So to properly desecrate an area, is the altar, shrine or permanent fixture required to create double the normal amount of undead? Our DM...

I really like this character generator. I now this is a lot of work, but I would request a wizard for adding custom material. For example, if I want to add a PrC, instead of having to poke around the different screens, I could just follow a wizard that guides me through the process, kind of...

Thanks for the info, Nightfall! I'm a big disappointed in SSS, though. They should have published this as errata on their website. After all, Relics and Rituals has an errata page. Thanks again.

In Relics and Rituals 2, there's a spell called Stone Bolt. In the spell effects section, it says the following: "The caster can create 1 bolt per character level . . . ." So my Rog2/Sor7 can create 9 bolts? Even Flame Bolt from RR doesn't allow this many bolts. I looked on the Sword and...

I wish publishers would upgrade their existing products to 3.5e in the form of free PDF errata. For example, I have both Relics and Rituals I and II. Really like the books, but I'm a little bummed that there aren't going to be any upgrades to the spells in those books. Sure I can buy R&R...

I'm not sure this is right, but since the Troll in the previous example isn't using a reach weapon, but his natural weapon, wouldn't F *not* receive the cover bonus? Are monsters' natural weapons considered "reach weapons"?

Cool! Thanks for the info.

Anyone know if the spells from Relics and Rituals are going to be upgraded to the 3.5 rules? Specifically, I'm thinking of spells like Manaspear, that require a ranged touch attack but allow a saving throw (2 in fact).

Since the whip was considered a ranged weapon in [3.0], I don't think the Lasher was ever meant to threaten with the whip.

Tastes great! Less filling!

I never received the Dungeon that included the latest Adventure Path adventure. Nor did I receive that month's Dragon. After THREE emails to customer support, I finally got a reply saying that they were out and they'd credit my account. Nice, but that doesn't help me much since I'm actually...

This kind of increases the anti-fun, IMO. Who wants to spend 30 minutes of "real" game time finishing off a Troll? Is it THAT unbalancing to allow a non-fire/acid weapon do a coup de grace?

Visit Italy. IMO, it's a great example of a chaotic society that works just fine.

For me, it was the new diagonal movement (5-10-5) rule. I hated the Sage's ruling in Sage Advice for 3.0e and swore I'd never use it. But now I do and it's not the hassle that I thought it would be.

I like Magus Coeruleus's suggestion. It puts the onus on the invisible attacker to choose how he's acting. Threaten, flank, and be revealed, or don't threaten, don't flank, and stay hidden. Side note: I don't like houserules that allow the defender to choose to ignore a flanker. The...

I fall into the group of DM's who meticulously stat out their BBEG's, but who do not stat out everyone else. I also abide by the same rules as the players for BBEG/NPC creation. In 2e, I think a DM could get away with a lot of fudging, and as long as he was fair about it. It wasn't that...

Or be forced to buy E-Tools/use PCGen if they wish to use the datasets . . . Conspiracy theories aside, I wonder why other character generator developers are not making their own deals with WoTC to use their data? Is it too expensive? Are they waiting to see what CMP releases and then they...

If you don't mind playing a Half-Orc, the Tribal Protector PrC from Sword and Fist is pretty cool. At second level of the PrC you get Wild Fighting, which allows you to make another melee attack at -2 to all your attacks, kind of like a like Rapid Shot but with melee weapons. And if you're...

I'll chime and and also say that my gaming groups have made the 3.5 transition pretty smoothly. The guy that was always complaining about 3.0e rules fuzziness is now always praising 3.5's clarifications. Other than my players to fork over the $30 for the 3.5 PH, there haven't been any issues...
