I think you misunderstood the problem. The sacred fist has a 5th level spell list (as represented on the sheets) but no 5th level spell slots. The sheet was probably made by someone who looked up the spell list (note the same restrictions for asterisks) but didn't notice that the 0th and 5th...

Other than the bit in parenthesis, you could say that about half the threads on this forum. We discuss things that we have no hope of resolving because other people, whose opinions are not yet fixed, need to have a good understanding of both sides of the argument. I might not change your...

Here's how the opposing interpretation breaks down. 1.) "The weapon negates the damage reduction of evil creatures and is capable of striking evil incorporeal creatures" How good is it at doing these things? 2.) "as if it had a +1 enchantment" If the english language had parenthesis, this...

I don't think that this works. Magic missile can only target creatures, so would fizzle against the images. This may briefly tell you which is the real wizard, but not once they re-merge and sort again on his move. -- gnfnrf

I would revise #13 "Argument Against" (yes, more about bless weapon) to read: -- The +1 effective enhancement bonus seems to apply to both striking evil incorporeal creatures and bypassing damage reduction. Also, being able to bypass an evil God, Demon Prince, or Balor's DR with a first level...

Soldarin's formula pegs a mind flayer at +10 ECL, though it may under-rate the usefullness of psionic abilities. At fifth level, anything remotely resembling the MM mind flayer will vastly overpower the rest of the party. Your only option is to completely rewrite the mind flayer to be...

Robe of Useful Items. You don't often need a pack mule while stuck in a dungeon, but when you do, you REALLY DO. And the self-attatching door is the most awesome way to discourage pursuit ever. -- gnfnrf

There is an unofficial formula, primarily created by soldarin. It worked pretty well until the Dragon article. We were in the middle of revising it when the new ECLs came out and, well, it kinda stalled. You can get it at: http://www.webspawner.com/users/enbsoldarin/index.html -- gnfnrf

I wouldn't reccomend it. By the rules, the only danger occurs when you put a bag of holding in a portable hole, or vice versa, but previous editions of DnD have had restrictions on any nesting of extradimensional spaces (bag of holding, hewards handy haversack, portable hole, rope trick) and...

Song and Silence covers this in depth. In fact, p 84 contains a diagram much like yours. In this diagram, the flanking pairs are: 2, 3 ; 2, 4 The rule is: Connect the centerpoints of the flankers occupied areas. If they pass through opposite edges (or opposite corners) of the targets...

How does the Destructive Harmonics material effect work on equipment carried by PCs? The usual rules can't apply, because the PC (not being made of metal) never even needs to save against the effect. Should the PC make item saves (equal to his Fort save or the items, if it has one) for every...

Yes. See Song And Silence, page 86 for an example of it. How do you handle it? You just... do. For a 5x10 base creature, it occupies two diagonnaly adjacent squares. Creatures using land movement types have no turning restrictions. Most long creatures have flexible bodies or numerous legs...

*sniffle* The Netbook of Traps woulda been better if anyone had ever submitted anything... -- gnfnrf

Why SHOULD they apply to Constructs? Because they are metal/wood? What about plants, then? In fact, what about humanoids? What is inherently different about a human and a human-skin wall hanging? The answer is, of course, that the rules don't apply because they are different classes of...

The question boils down to... When does spell immunity test the spell level to see if it can stop a spell? If the answer is "When the spell is chosen" then heighten spell doesn't affect it. If the answer is "When a candidate spell targets the subject" then heighten spell should allow spells...

Power Critical is an automatic threat, not an automatic critical. The wording of the feat leaves no doubt on this. -- gnfnrf

I think your initial assumption is perhaps false. While by the rules, a shugenja may qualify for a preist prestige class, Oriental Adventures was not written to interface with rulebooks other than the DnD core books. On page 202-203, there is a short discussion of the class books and which...

Re: More requirements -> less hassle Are you arguing from a plausibility standpoint here? If so, you can just as easily say that an item that needs to have the ability to detect certain things about its weilder before activating requires more magic than one that does not. -- gnfnrf

60 tons sounds low to me. I found one specific number. The schooner Amistad (built recently as a monument to the historical ship) is an 85 foot ship, with a displacement (and therefore weight) of 136 long tons, or about 152 short tons (the 2000 lb variety). -- gnfnrf

Q1: This feat has eratta specifically disallowing the Improved Trip free attack. Q2: I think Eyes in the Back of your Head wins, for two reasons. First, as a general rule, defense trumps offense in 3E. Second, the mention of the "+2 bonus" seems to me to be for clarification purposes (to...
