1) The deflection and resistance bonuses are fairly minor, as the items that would replace or override these bonuses cost a total of 12,000gp (and work against everything, not just evil). 2) Block possession of warded creature. This only stops charm and compulsion effects that grant the caster...

To quote "threaten" also from the glossary "To be able to attack in melee without moving from your current space. A creature typically threatens all squares within its natural reach, even when it is not its turn to take an action." Therefore the rogue 30 ft. away with a bow, which itself...

There is no dichotomy. Stat boosting items only grant temporary bonuses. A dichotomy would be created if an Intelligence boosting item could grant a permanent bonus to skill points.

Hypersmurf, The paragraph/sentence previous to the one Vigwyn posted from the SRD reads: When making a melee attack, you get a +2 flanking bonus if your opponent is threatened by a character or creature friendly to you on the opponent's opposite border or opposite corner. Which reads with...

Snare by Katharine Kerr

They don't send them through an airmail service as it take 8-12 weeks, or sometimes longer, for my issues to arrive in Australia and then a few days to get to me. The last issue of Dungeon I received was #111 (Dungeon #112 has been in transit for 10 weeks at the moment). Won't stop me...

I agree with the player. As long as they throw away the common items of clothing they wish to replace and the weight of the replacement items aren't above the norm I don't see a problem. The idea behind the clothing you "wear" weighing nothing is that it is a fairly inconsequential weight you...

You might want to have a look at Dragon #317 pages 44-49, as there is an article on just this subject :D

OOPS, MISTAKEN POST!

Before DTRPG, all of the companies who produced only print products were having their products pirated by those who scanned them and put them on p2p networks and the like. Adding DRM to their pdf products won't make this problem go away as the same pirates, even if they can't break the DRM...

That's just not true, www.milsims.com.au sells RPG books for at most double the $US cost in $AU (and that includes GST). So try there.

That isn't the same situation, as the orc can't just be handed over to the local authorities...unless your dungeons have a local authority. Therefore in the dungeon I'd say the paladin would be justified, and would be just as justified if the orc were instead a human. If on the other hand the...

Sorry my mistake. That's just how I'd make it work, with a check every 30 minutes and increasing the DC by 2 with each check after the first, considering it has to be constant play. The secondary reason I'd change it is that lyre has always seemed odd in that it's powers all last for 30 minutes...

The fact that all the original D&D books put into the Rules Cyclopedia were only about 32-48 pages each springs to mind as being a stumbling block to the format working with the modern books. I mean would you really want a single 1000 page book to lug around :D

I'll agree it's a little steep, but the price quoted for meat is for cooked meat being sold in an inn, not meat you'd buy from a market and cook yourself. The situation is somewhat equivalent to eating at a restaurant within a 4 star hotel, generally no peasant will be eating at an inn just like...

So you're saying that based on real world economics of the time, that the 2cp chicken should cost 16cp to balance with a labourers wage of 1sp. Moving to the next item you say the 1/2 lb. of meat in the PHB should cost 2cp. As for how much meat comes from a medieval chicken, I'll use 3 lb. which...

Only one small problem I can see with this arguement. The chicken at 4cp is still alive, not ready for consumption...while the bread at 2cp is ready to eat. So you're comparing a wholesale product with a retail product [if you want to buy bread components wholesale I bet they're a lot cheaper...

Only 85 labourers was of course a reference to how little they cost in the grand scheme of things, not to whether or not it's a large amount of work in a small amount of time :) To use the device more than once a week for building [the equivalent of 300 mandays of work], you'd have to be...

How exactly does that "blow holes" in the system, 600 mandays is only 85 labourers working for 1 week. They cost 59gp 5sp in wages, and if you feed them the equivalent of poor inn meals costing 59gp 5sp [what they're likely used to eating], that comes to 119gp/week. In the Stronghold Builder's...

I wouldn't allow it to be that cheap myself. I'd either limit the amount of uses to 5/day [that seems to be an assumed limit for uses per day] or charge the material cost for an unlimited use item [components x 100] as an absolute minimum. So Raise Dead would cost 694,400gp and the True...
