Things don't have the decency to stop trying to kill you. =)

Thanks for all the input guys! I'm playing a Wizard for the second time (And the first time I played a selfish NN Gnome, a bit of an annoying jerk really), I'm used to playing classes with diverse roles and abilities (Factotum, Druid, Warlock) so a character build around one class feature...

Classic scenario: You're a full caster (Other than Druid, they've got plenty else!), and you've used up your spells for the day, but the day isn't over. What can you do to prepare for this situations? -Have a few wands on hand. -Take a Reserve Feat and keep that 1 spell to fuel it. -Rely on...

I'm a fan of the skill, I made a Factotum that kept in touch with his family and mentors thru dreams, made for great roleplay. Thanks! Sounds dangerous! I'll add those spells to the list.

Ah... so if you're putting a bubble of imposed order around a city while on the Plane, then that makes some sense. Stepping outside the city limits though, what an adventure! Be sure to choose an entirely self sufficient city: one that does not rely upon external trade, outlying farmlands...

Necro'ing my own thread with the addition of Master's Touch, somehow I managed to miss that spell the first time around and it's kinda vital to the OP. So, An Archivist3 possessing the following 3 spells: Divine Insight, Weildskill & Master's Touch can, in 2 rounds, provide a +17 bonus to a...

The words "Urban" and "Limbo" together? My brain just had a seizure. ...better now. While technically anything could exist in the plane of chaos, when I think Urban, I think order, established, structure, permanence. (Don't let my lack of imagination hold you back, however. If you figure it...

You just need a high enough Bluff skill to convince your enemy that you've got 5 feats and two ACF's dedicated towards summoning really fast. "hey, that critter popped outta thin air way to fast. It must be a fake!" *Cast Glibness on self* "No, no, I'm just reeeealy good at Summons...

First, Artificer class from Eberron Campaign Setting is the right flavor for this idea. Hm... Gnomes are the most "Technological" in D&D. "Fleshgrinding" is a +2 weapon property for piercing or slashing melee weapons, Magic Item Compendium p.35. The weapon digs into the enemy and you can...

Forgive me for oversimplifying. I do accept responsibility for keeping it fresh. I also expect my (Veteran) players to keep the game interesting, especially for the other players. As long as players are actually having an "Encounter", instead of avoiding and passing over challenges, It's all...

I completely agree. I like to reward creative thinking. I don't reward repetitive, avoidant solutions that result in no interesting gameplay.

The Fascinate effect lasts as long as the Bard plays, concentrates, and as long as the target is in hearing range. As a DM, I'd play it like this: Bard fascinates dinosaurs. They sit, calm and mesmerized. The party walks away as the Bard plays. The party walks outside of the hearing range...

See Invisibility is a Personal spell. I had always assumed Srying only allowed the caster to see thru the focus, anyone else looking on would see a regular mirror or pool of water, but I guess it could be interpreted as accessable to all who are looking. ...Yeah, I don't have a problem with...

I see the Shadow Conjuration line spells are standard actions to cast. Does this mean that any Summon Monster effects using this spell would be summoned as a standard action instead of 1 round later?

I'm not really looking for something homebrew, I'm trying to figure how to do it within existing rules. That said, not a bad suggestion. Now that could be cool. Silent Image as an educational tool. This is an option. I get that, I'm just saying there's no way to allow another individual...

The "fighter" doesn't need to make sense of it right away, even if it's a "Whoa, look at those pretty colors", enough to realize there's an invisible world happening in this one. I had a Factotum that believed if the average person could just be educated about magic, everyone would want to use...

I hadn't before noticed that they all (or most?) appear to be Target-Personal without saying so. I wanted to use the Detect Magic to allow a non-caster to see what it is the casters do. Out of combat, RP, grant a party member the ability to watch the caster in action, see the process of...

I gotta ask.... Have you used Awaken Sand yet? How did it go?

As 7th level spells go, I'm partial to Simulacrum. Use it on yourself to create a herald/avatar to serve you, and duplicate a few really cool monsters you defeat (I recommend Beholders). Other possible useful suggestions: Combat -Antimagic Ray -Bite of the Werebear if you already mix it up in...
