Frequently when I'm converting 1st Ed. adventures I need the following spell. I'm pretty sure there isn't one in the core rules. Desire: An illusion (glamer) that makes a single object appear as something else. Preferably with a long duration like permanent, or 1 day/level. (This assumes that...

Agree with the previous poster (and others with the same point). The H4 "100th level characters" was really just an eye-catching marketing tag line. The module description made the key assumption that: no one over 29th level got any more hit dice, attacks, abilities, saves, or spells of any...

It sounds like it would be better rated at +2. The whole intent behind it is to recreate the 1st Ed. "+2 vs. magic-using and enchanted creatures" weapon ability, so it's definitely not the case that including those aberrations, demons, devils, etc., was accidental. But, you make a good case that...

Actually, my reading is that he cannot do this. Tumble says it is used "as part of normal movement", which to me is a simply move action. I don't allow it in conjunction with a charge, Spring Attack, etc.

From the Player's Handbook:

That's in the DMG, right? (Or did they take that out in 3.5?) I have that in 3.0 DMG p. 48-57.

I agree that Spell Resistance does not go up or down due to any change in Hit Dice by the RAW. (Drow are a special notable exception.) For example, from the 3rd Ed. FAQ:

Yeah, I'd like to see what the original poster's evidence is for this. In previous discussions here, I've been convinced that the intent for "+1 spellcasting level" has been to include spells known.

I suppose average expected levels do tend to go up in 3rd Ed. due to reduced party size. However, you seem to be thinking of encounters on the second dungeon level (which are admittedly not that hard to access). I just calculated the ELs for the first dungeon level, and the average comes out...

Remember that from a gameplay perspective, the PCs are supposed to have a chance of making those saving throws, and they're only supposed to be around 4th level are so when they reach those front doors. Looking at the 1st Ed. save charts (at -2 in the original text), they were expected to make...

Reasonable observation. - Those core falling object rules may be pretty shaky. (New to 3.x). - Personally I play 3.0 to avoid things like that broken new enlarge spell.

No, not specifically. In my game, I deal damage to the target as above, and damage to the attacker as normal falling damage.

For citation, consider the DMG sample NPCs and you'll see their spellcasting has been modified by the ability-boost magic items they own. (Looking at 3.0 myself.)

In core rules DMG. From the SRD in "WildernessAndEnvironment":

From the d20 Modern SRD, under "Knowledge":

Hyp, thanks for looking for that. I'm kind of embarassed, either that got changed or I'm remembering it exactly wrong. Geez. Same ruling is in Sword & Fist p. 66 (paragraph 4), and also the 3.0 FAQ:

Well, here's one suggestion: It might be easier to not "take out" all the magic items, but instead to take out everything and have players add up their bonuses on the fly. For example, melee attacks become just BAB + Str (maybe with feats or mw item). Saves are just base save + ability. Skills...

1) There's nothing in the rules that specifically allows this (aborting an action between starting & ending it). As DM I might actually rule that you can do that (to head off an argument about can you declare a move across a room and stop halfway across when you spot something). 2) There's a...

By the rules, you wouldn't be able to target anyone with ranged spells.
