Apart from minor things like updating the class skill list and damage reduction it looks 3.5 ready.

But they certainly won't want to. A +20 on Spellcraft checks is a nice boost for casting that epic spell that would otherwise be out of reach. Is this an intended side-effect or do you have some clause not in the rewritten Spellcraft skill to cover it?

It comes down to what the intended meaning of the word brittle is in context of the spell description. The most reasonable and simplest assumption is that it is intended to refer to obviously fragile objects. However, after doing a bit of casual research into brittle materials I think it...

I don't think there is anything in the rules covering this, but the 3.0 FAQ did have a question on it. That FAQ answer still leaves some ambiguity but here's how I'd run it based on this answer. 1) The scrier knows the true identity of the impostor: he can correctly target the impostor with...

To tackle your second question first, I'd agree with Pyrex that the SR entry for dimensional lock is possibly erroneous. The descriptive text certainly seems to contradict it and I believe the text is supposed to have priority. In the case of forbiddance the spell description states that "A...

Obvious spell effects aside, the dragon is not omniscient so unless it's going to take some measures to figure out who to sling dispel magic at it's going to be playing lucky dip. If it does take the time to analyze the party for magical auras to figure out who to dispel, either via detect magic...

If your characters are reasonably sure that it is a shadow dragon and they have some idea of what a shadow dragon is capable of I'd suggest some of the following. Use the counters for the abilities your characters know about, ignore the ones you don't know about, make sure you pack a pillow to...

It's not. The Bebilith can do it with its Rend Armor extraordinary ability. While this is specifically not a sunder attack, the Bebilith uses both of its claws to rip the armor of a foe asunder (sorry, couldn't resist). After looking at the Bebiliths ability to do this there doesn't seem to be...

The Summoning description in the school and subschool section of the Magic Overview SRD states "When the spell that summoned a creature ends and the creature disappears, all the spells it has cast expire".

Double the base weapon price then add the masterwork cost. Have a look at the masterwork cold iron longsword in the specific weapons list in the magic item chapter.

Not really. A hydra is a slow mover and its breath weapon has limited range and area. You get a save against each individual dose of breath weapon you're hit with. When a party encounters its first pyrohydra or cryohydra it should have access to resist energy via some means. Versus the 3d6...

Dimensional anchor and dimensional lock are both described as creating an effect that completely blocks bodily extradimensional travel. Dismissal attempts to force a creature to travel extradimensionally. I'd agree with Hyp that the dismissal would be blocked by a dimensional anchor or...

The prismatic wall spell states "A prismatic wall spell cast to materialize in a space occupied by a creature is disrupted, and the spell is wasted.". The prismatic sphere spell states "As prismatic wall, except..." and none of the exceptions overturn the restriction in prismatic wall that...

The following spell from the 1E Unearthed Arcana might be a useful base for a new spell your character could look into researching. It used to come in handy for me with a grand master RBDM behind the screen. Vocalize (Alteration) Level: 2 Components: S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round...

1d4+1/3 levels of caster (maximum 7 years)? Casters select their targets when casting the spell and then when the spell has been cast it affects the target(s) if it is able to. The descriptive text for Magic Missile states that "Inanimate objects cannot be damaged by the spell". You can choose...

As an inherited template class levels probably shouldn't be counted for the HD based abilities, even though it's being used as an acquired template in this case. The template would then be granting Magical Beast type (although I think Outsider would be more appropriate for a PC), +50% movement...

They're all in 3E MM2.

You may be right. We can only speculate about the intent of these rules. However, I don't think it is unreasonable to require the Devoted Defender to choose between using Harm's Way to make a guaranteed defense of his charge or using Defensive Strike to make a counterattack at his full attack...

I wasn't saying anything to the contrary. You aren't pre-emptively stopping the action that provokes the AoO but you are able to make some types of actions (eg/ disarm and grapple, but not sunder and trip) fail automatically if you deal damage with your AoO. In the game world they're happening...

Perhaps take a look at the rules for dragon crush attacks and base a mechanic on that.
