    Spells that use an XP-Cost as a component

    The mere fact that they are NPC's does not mean they have no experience. Elminster is an NPC in the FrC, and I asssure you he has Experience Points. Most DM's do not bother to figure out how exactly much XP their npc's have, but that does not mean they have no XP.

    Question about the flying movement

    Correct - you can not "run" with fly. Nor do boots of springing and striding or the spell expeditious retreat help. But you can Haste yourself up to move 90*3= 270 and/ or fly down, which has a faster speed. Basically there are three types of speeds: 20 and under. 30-50 and over 80 Lots...

    Disarming traps, the dumbest thing

    You guys left out the Chaotic reason for picking the locked chest in the dungeon. Here is a short little description: Monster are defeated, Thief spots the chest. After examining the chest he states: "Stand back everyone, I am going to try to disarm the trap. It looks particularly...

    Two handed Flurry?

    There is also a feat that lets a monk can use to turn a non-monk weapon into a Monk weapon. From reading the SRD online, quoted below: If armed with one such weapon, the monk makes the extra attack either with that weapon or unarmed. If armed with two such weapons, she uses one for the regular...

    Shield Spell vs. Touch Attack

    To get around a a Shield Spell or a Tower Shield, have the mage get the Bend Spell feat (From Dragon magazine). For raising the spell slot +1 level, it ignores all cover less than 100%.

    Power crit smackdown

    Sorry, CRGreathouse, The Vorpal and Keen thing is NOT a house rule it is a Sage Interepretation. And used at Gencon. Also - Smite specifically says it only works with a "regular melee Attack" Does ANYONE hear think this monstrosity.qualifies as a regular melee attack? I personally...

    Buying Magic Items & Healing

    For reasons stated above their should definitely be places to buy things. But : 1) stores are exclusive: hard to find and hard to get into 3) non-extensive: chance of finding an item should be determined by power: I use the following: 90% for 1st level items (potion, scroll, wand) from the...

    Readying vs. Stilled, Silenced Spell

    What if he quickens the spell? Does the readied go off after the quickened spell? For a Stilled, Silenced, Eschewed, Quickened spell, does the fighter get his readied action? (+6 levels, Charm Person at 7th level) My personal thought is yes for just quickened, but only after the spell goes...

    Which +1 Weapon Magical Ability is best ?

    Keen and vorpal don't work the way most people think. Keen increases the chance of a normal critical without affecting the chance of a Vorpalization. I find that I prefer them in this order: Fire or Frost (Yes some are immune to cold, but some take double damage from them too.) Spell Storing...

    Power crit smackdown

    You guys are mostly right. I did find ONE error you have made. The rules for burst weapon do not mention crit multiplier, but instead specify the crit multiplier of the weapon, not the modified crit multiplier quote: If the weapon’s critical multiplier is x3, add +2d10 points of bonus fire...

    Power crit smackdown

    I am pretty sure you did the strength wrong and not sure that you can do all those thigns together. Strength bonus for Rhino Hide, Power Lunge, Spirited Charge, two handed weapon use, and Samuria Blades of Death, are all REPLACIVE, and thus are not cumulative with each other. (As per Errata...

    Nobody will play a wizard or sorcerer!

    Try getting them to play gnome mages. High Con = +1 HP/level Small Size = +1 AC and +1 to hit (great for ray attacks) usually this works pretty well. Also, see the Arcane Gnome subrace from the Dragon magazine

    Lensmen versus The Dragon Empire

    Magic + Technology generally only work if you recast the term Magic to include "Technology" and vice versa. That means all plastic items counts as a Magic for spell effect purposes. Similarly, a plastic gun from a bullet counts as +1 for DR purposes, etc. On the same note, a Dispell Magic...
