Your implication and following suggestion gives, IMO, way too much power to multi-classed spellcasters. My biggest observed problem is with caster level. While I'm not one to generally throw around proclamations about which character can beat which, looking at some rough numbers shows me that...

I had a thought that may work. I haven't tested it, yet. Determine the enemies' EL. Let's assume that for this example, it is EL 8. Determine the NPC allies' EL. Let's assume that it is EL 5. Subtract the allies' EL from the enemies' EL giving us an EL 3 encounter. Would this work in...

I'm confused. The reference to the WotC board suggests the WotC folk still are at odds at what to do about multi-class spellcasters. However, I thought the 3.5e books were (more or less) done. Are they suggesting that a) the 3.5e books won't solve the problem; and b) they'll eventually...

Howdy. When the PCs have several NPC allies fighting on their side in a battle, how do you determine the EL of the encounter? The enemy's EL, if calculated by standard, would be much greater than a normal party could handle. But with the allies... Thanks. /ds

First, do you allow characters to open doors and move through them diagonally provided adequate space? Imagine a 5-ft. wide hallway with a character standing in the middle of it (no diagonals past him). He is aware of an invisible opponent because the fella he was fighting disappeared. The...

Howdy. Last night we were fighting a dwarf that made a 5-ft. step and turned invisible. Because of the game mechanics you know the creatures location (assuming no haste). We attacked the square with 50% miss chance; we did not have to "guess" the square to attack. The next round, about 20...

I think I'm going to pick up Spell Focus (evocation) and Greater Spell Focus (evocation), too. Cheers, /ds

I did and they are. I didn't need to take the feat. /ds

*laf* I doubt my DM would let that one fly (no pun intended). /ds

Doh. Rarely get up to levels that use telekinesis so I didn't think about it. I'll try and research a lower level version that can do the same thing with 1 lb. potions, but nothing else. /ds

Howdy. I'm playing a character that is destined to become a master alchemist. He'll evenutally make all sorts of mini-bombs, but has a problem--range increments are but 10 ft. Are there any spells or items that will "throw" items for you (similar to if not spectral hand). Thanks. /ds

After reading the errata on it, I'm grabbing it at L3. ;) Thanks for all the advice. /ds

I am going to play a human that has an ice elemental (or white dragon) in his bloodline. He'll get the cold subtype. Secondly, element spells will be converted to [cold] as per the Energy Substitution feat. /ds

I'm about to play a sorceror in an upcoming campaign. It's my first time playing the class so any advice you care to share is appreciated. /ds

Ahh, most excellent. Thanks! /ds

Lines, in DND, are 5-ft. wide when referring to movement. Weaving and dodging can be withing that 5-ft. area. Just as someone charging can be zig-zagging within that 5-ft. The rules don't cover it. To me "weaving and dodging" is flavor text--nothing more. I would allow a "straight line...

My group has decided that the initial Bluff is a standard action and, if successful, the Hide is done immediately as a free action. /ds

Everything.

Depends. If the undead were a challenge that needed to be overcome, and by commanding it he overcame that challenge, then yes he would gain XP for the creature. On the other hand, if the challenge was to slay the evil spectre to set free the spirit of K'aglith, then no; the character did not...

My ECL/XP spreadsheet calculates it at 7.49. /ds
