    Force Cage questions

    Our DM decides if the creature would fit in the particular flavor of forcecage that the caster wants. He indicates to the caster if it would fit or not before the spell is casted, so if the answer is "no", the caster can choose another spell. Our house rule. :) Andargor

    To Firewall or not to Firewall

    Or look at a Linux based firewall. A small machine costing literally a few dozen bucks would be enough. Netfilter rocks, if you need incoming traffic. Or use your Linksys WRT54G (or GS) as a linux box in addition to a WiFi box. Go take a peek at OpenWRT (openwrt.org). Heck, run a web server on...

    High-level Abilities in One Character...

    Some more options: - Vow of Poverty (BoED, true seeing at 18th CL), although this precludes items - Archmage High Arcana: Spell-Like Ability, so you can sacrifice spell slots to get the other abilities as SPAs. - Axiomatic creature (BoED), for Linked Minds (Ex), although it's only useful if...

    Player/GM map on Monitor

    My group has been dreaming about an LCD tabletop for about 20 years now. :D With those new 60" Taiwanese babies, it might be possible... Although you need a big budget... Andargor

    Dragonshard is out.

    I saw the screenshots at IGN. For some reason, it doesn't seem to appeal to me... Something about the setting being way off the map of my vision of D&D, perhaps. And the "action" doesn't seem to be my bag of chips... I guess it depends if you like the gameplay, rather than like D&D. Andargor

    Changing a Lycanthrope's Alignment

    So he'd be good on full moons, and evil the rest of the time? ;) Andargor

    Wish via a Spell-like ability, any limit on XP spent?

    Are you a blood relation of Hyp? ;) Andargor

    Changing a Lycanthrope's Alignment

    If I remember, the BoED has alignment conversion rules. It takes a while, but perhaps the character could be locked up during full moons and talked into changing alignment. I believe the related skill is Diplomacy. As a lycanthrope, the character does still have an intelligence score. I would...

    Wish via a Spell-like ability, any limit on XP spent?

    Just to be clear, and I'll let this one drop. I'm not saying "screw the players". I'm saying that the description allows for specific things, and wishing for something outside of those things is hazardous. This is clearly written. The one thing which is problematic is the magic item part, and...

    Wish via a Spell-like ability, any limit on XP spent?

    That's what happens when you take book A, write book B a couple of years later, upgrade book A, slap A+B together, and make it available for free. :) Andargor

    Wish via a Spell-like ability, any limit on XP spent?

    I admit I took it for granted that a non-epic creature could not create an epic magical item, even with wish (a non-epic spell). I however could not find any specific reference to that, other than an epic item has "typically" a caster level above 20th. However, taking the DMing angle, the FAQ...

    Wish via a Spell-like ability, any limit on XP spent?

    Well, the description clearly states: So, it can't itself make magical items just for fun. The condition for the wishes are clear. As for DMing, don't forget that making a wish for something outside the spell's description can be hazardous. Also, the alignment is CG. So although it can try...

    Wish via a Spell-like ability, any limit on XP spent?

    This paragraph is fuzzy, but it could allow you to rule that wish costs XP for the djinn: Of course, the effect on the djinn of losing XP is another matter... But, per RAW, it could in fact create any non-epic magical item without XP cost. Andargor

    Elemental and Half-Dragon age?

    Thanks for the replies! Here's how our DM ruled: - The half-dragon templated half-elf is in fact a true half-dragon (his elf mother was assaulted by a blue dragon), and the "half-elf" and "dragon disciple" path was a mechanism until he could realize his full potential (and daddy's genes kick...

    Protecting Troops from Fireball

    Got a couple more for you: In Frostburn, there's suppress flame, 10 ft. cube/level, Sor/Wiz 6, all fire spells reduced to 1 hit point of damage per die (e.g. 10d6 fireball = 10 points of damage on failed save). Lasts 1 hour/level. Good for protecting a position, but not for movement. There's...

    Elemental and Half-Dragon age?

    A Dragon Disciple half-elf takes on the Half-Dragon template at 10th level. Her type changes to Dragon. Is she now a Half-Dragon (Augmented Half-Elf)? What's her maximum age? An Elf Elemental Savant (Fire) "transcends her mortal form" at 10th level. Her type changes to Elemental. Is she now an...
