Essential Magic Items Two essential magic items every high level cleric should have: 1. Karmic Bead. Adds 4 to your caster level for 10 minutes/day. This makes your buffs better, last logner, and harder to dispel. A bargain at 5,000 gp (I have 3!) 2. Ring of Counterspell with Greater...

Does anyone have any ideas or references about maximum viewing distance in various kinds of terrain? It is likely that my PCs will be pursued by a small group of orcs across an absolutely flat, empty desert in the near future. Depending on the circumstances, the PCs may get a day or two of...

I would say that it is a +1 enchantment, with the prerequisite that it only works on Mithral armor, and only changes armor that is light without being made of mithral to none. It also does not change the arcanse spell failure chance. This allows your PC to get what he needs without making the...

Oracular Vision- FYI, your summary of current thinking on shrinkwrap provisions is pretty far off the mark. The Step-Saver case cited in that article has contrary authority in ProCD, Inc. v. Zeidenberg, 86 F.3d 1447 (7th Cir. 1996). Most commentators believe that ProCD case is better reasoned...

No reason at all is a good one For the sake of legal pedantry and to make things absolutely clear, in the U.S., companies are forbidden from employing a variety of specific discriminatory practices, for example they cannot refuse to serve you because you are black. However, they are free to...

Haste unbalanced As I've explicated elsewhere, our group decided that Haste was unbalanced. Given the huge benefits and low cost, everyone took haste items (or spells). Pretty soon, our DM realized that all his NPCs needed haste items just to stay competitive. Your experience may vary, but our...

Bump No more comments? -BM

Nearly all of these spells are homebrew. A few (although I'd be hard-pressed to remember which) are derived or inspired by other sources, mostly net-based, but still re-balanced. These spells are mostly either pure flavor, a reaction to an imbalance in the spells as they exist, or to fill out...

Unbalanced Yes, we found it unbalanced and removed it from the game. Consider that as a first level spell you could make it into a 50gp potion. Having said that, our group thinks that skill ranks are devalued too much by the system anyway. Brian McDaniel

Culturally-based magic I stumbled across a very effective means of keeping a low-magic tone to my campaign by making each type of magic specific to a particular culture. In my campaign, there is only one known god, who is closely associated with an ascendant Empire, but these people (more or...

Bug in combat calculator Spikey- Your email is disabled, so I am posting. I found a bug in your calculator. When calculating the attack bonus while using a two-handed weapon, the attack bonus is increased by 1.5* STR mod, rather than just the plain STR mod; ie it incorrectly carries over the...
