If you can spend 9,000gp, there's the Blindfold of True Darkness. It'll limit your range to 60' though.

I've enjoyed where this discussion has been going. Yes, Raise Dead is expensive and the King has the ability to front the cost. Yes, no doubt Clerics could be found that would perform the service. Hit or miss on the willing part based upon each creature, sure. However, another aspect to...

Conjure Ice Beast spells are like the Summon Monster + Summon Nature's Ally line, only you create an icy construct version of the creature instead. Cloudy Conjuration adds a cloud effect when casting the summon spell. My understanding of the affect is that the cloud appears in the same space...

Have one player take the Fiery Burst reserve feat and then use any spot of exposed earth!

Dude, I'd play D&D with you any day. This is EXACTLY the kind of thinking I'm talking about. This would be an adventure for individuals more interested in making a buck than saving the day, so yeah, alignments could be pretty loose. Makes sense, I'd probably have all sorts of mundane gear...

Ah, forgive me. Let me add that at each level, you'd be dealing with CL appropriate monsters. So, a level 1 party might be sent to collect an Ash Rat, a pair of human undead skeletons, a Howler Wasp, a medium Monstrous Spider, a Krenshar, a Swindlespitter Dino and a Nixie.

It also depends upon how long an adventuring day is. Casters will eventually run out of spells.

Toying with an adventure concept. For whatever reason (lets say a wealthy and resourceful king) the adventurers are sent out into the wide, dangerous world not to slay monsters, but to capture them and bring them back to a centralized location, alive and fully functioning. Lets assume that...

my 2 cents: -Any class that has a built in Cohort has more actions it can take per turn. -Any class that has a spell list has access to options that classes without spell lists have. -Any class that can Summon can generate it's own combat allies. -Any class that can restore hitpoints has an...

I think a party consisting of a Druid & animal companion, Cleric and a Wizard would rock. Who needs all those other classes anyway? Ohhh... or 4 Druids + 4 animal companions + Summon Nature's Allies... ...Slightly more serious, There are execellent classes, there are good classes, and then...

Is there a spell that acts like Blood Wind for manufactured weapons? (Note the link points out the Savage Species version, the Spell Compendium version is better) Or would that just be called "Throwing the weapon"? With that said, how about a weapon with the Returning property? I know it...

Benefits of the same type do not stack. A "+something Armor Bonus" will not stack with another "+something Armor Bonus". Therefore, use the higher to determine AC. Use the worse Dex penalties, etc. If they occupy different body slots you should be able to wear both and the immunities and...

I'd like to second what @Ahnehnois said about cover. Unless his build has built in ways to get around or punch thru cover, make use of the environment. A forest encounter should have line of sight problems as you place trees in spaces. Do you guys play off some sort of grid map? Occupy map...

There are cool surprises, and then there are "You're trying to be a jerk" surprises. I know my players long enough to tell the difference. Anything that's not trying to be a jerk usually goes over really, really well because it's fun. I've referenced this before, I had a player pull an...

Did you use Geomancer to progress Mystic Thurge? Is that cheating or legit?

So... much.... bat.... guano....

I've never quite known what to do with the Geomancer. The "Requires two casting classes but only progresses one", cool physical changes but only a d6 HD, medium BAB has lead me to wonder exactly what it's supposed to be good at. Since you need to take 3 levels of a casting class you'll never...

I think there's a Dragon Magazine template for a Living Wall, an undead type monster that looks like a normal wall at first, but is really a mass of bodies. It pulls opponents in and grows the wall longer. Dragon Mag. 343, p.50 "The wall's not burning. What th..!! It's grabbing meeeee....."

oh... good suggestions. I'll write up some general possible ideas along those lines, but I wouldn't want to take away from a DM the ability to fill in those details.

How about including innocents engaged in the combat or battlefield against their will? A moat filled with children, enchanted villagers or those bullied or frightened into service? When the person shooting an arrow at you in somebody you're trying to save, "Kill them all" isn't really a viable...
