Ack! I was confused by this at first, too. I thought leadership would be cool. But a cohort is just 1 creature. This is semi-confirmed by the use of the singular form in the description. More telling is that the same chart that gives us cohort level also gives us number of followers, who...

IMC, the party just met a PC powered BBEG, and I can attest that his extra equipment and better attributes would justify a +1 CR.

I don't have the Swordsage info , but other people say the Swordsage needs to be in light armor to get the bonus, so check that. But also, www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ask/20060904a says they don't stack anyhoo. So it looks like choose between no and nope.

Neither do I, but it seems similar to the "1 potion per round" ruling- even if you swig, say, 4 times the volume of magic potions in one round you only get the effect of 1 (first one ingested; potions don't mix)

I read "ongoing mental control" as meaning that a connection is maintained for the duration. Dominate Person establishes a telepathic link. Suggestion, meanwhile, is a one-off request for action- the orders can't be changed. And so I believe PFE doesn't work on a pre-existing Suggestion. In...

The bad news is that we read it as number of objects, not total weight/volume. So that's just 18 more arrows (unless the DM is an uberdonkey and says that arrows aren't the same general size as javs, so can't go there)

I'd allow it

I don't think that just sitting down and reading the books is the best way for every new person. I would suggest sitting down with the DM and going through the character creation process step by step. I have a new player who is quite intelligent and it took him a number of sessions to...

My players have bought into the idea that most items such as this should be 5 uses per day, not every round (since cost in charges per day is divided by five...)

And by that token I'd say to the first question that the "move" is the jump to the villain, followed by the attack, then the fall which isn't, then, extra movement...

We do "anything with a listed cost for the component (such as holy water)".

Drinking a small amount of beer quicky (such as finishing one during a bar fight) takes exactly as long as drinking the same amount of sparkling water. So next session, get some soda water and time how long it takes everyone to finish.

hello, so we are having a discussion right now, would displacement work on ones mirror images thus making them have a 50% miss chance, not cloak of displacement but the spell? its hard to say from the desct of the spells, thx

In our group, Elves are called "Daks".

Looks like that's how it is written especially because under 'area dispell' it says "You may choose to automatically succeed on dispel checks against any spell that you have cast." Personally, if I have this type of question, I talk to my players about it before it becomes an issue and we agree...

I actually enjoy handing out big bags of blue pellets (exp pts) from time to time. Remember- the CR of something should be how challenging it ought to be- flying orcs with good tactics should have a higher CR than orcs that just wander up to the slaughter. So, if this is a trap that the Rogue...

I'm also interested in hearing what sorts of magic items are out there to protect undead from sunlight. In 'old' D&D, the DM would just make up some magic item and not have to have all the underlying mechanics figured out.

I agree with Frank et al. And Tess, you are right to worry about Blasphemy. There was a thread somewhere noting how Blasphemy is stronger than the other alignments' versions- Holy Word, for example. Sooo- you could change Blasphemy to make it in line with Holy Word. But then you screw the...

We believe concentration is naturally a wis based skill, as wis is supposed to reflect willpower. Since it is con based in the raw, I have the character choose when s/he takes the skill which it will be based on, and note it on their character sheet (my npcs/baddies do the same).
