    Are fighters that specialize in spiked chain viable/survivable at most/all levels?

    Hi! The SC is a specialized Weapon against Humanoids. All its advances (reach, tripping, disarming) work fine against them but are of little use when fighting big monsters, especially when these are multipedal. Kodam

    Best class for a n00b to play

    Hi! A pregenerated Fighter or Barbarian is best for newbies I think. These get to act quickly, are usefull in almost every battle and their lack of magic keeps them easy to handle. Just give them solid feats to begin with (Improved Initiative, Weapon Focus, Iron Will, Power Attack, etc.) and...

    Is this monk still Lawful?

    Hi! Are these gauntlets formally forbidden by someone who has authority over the monk? If that`s not the case, I don't see this as a problem of law vs. chaos. Its not particular nice to have this guy around but that's it. Just my thoughts... Kodam

    "Swords are no more use here"

    Hi! Giants tend to be target-practice for Wizards. Flying opponents with reach can leave melee-monsters quite frustrated. YMMV Kodam

    And now for the Ultimate Race Alliance

    Hi! Once I made an Encounter with a Dark Naga (knows two 3rd Level Spells) and a Troll Barb. The Naga casts Protection from Energy (Fire) on the Troll and can now Fireball away. :] The Naga provides the brains and magic, the Troll provides the muscle. Kodam

    Dominated by a vampire that went poof! Now what ?

    Hi! The Vampires ability works like the spell, doesn't it? The spell description says: "The subject also loses supernatural abilities while in gaseous form." Kodam

    Dominated by a vampire that went poof! Now what ?

    Hi! Right, the Vampire is not destroyed, but he loses all Supernatural Abilities. I think one can argue both ways but I'll stay with my vote. Kodam

    Dominated by a vampire that went poof! Now what ?

    Hi! I remember a general rule, that spells cease to work if the caster dies, but I can`t find it right now. (Was this changed in 3.5, too?) If not I`d say it applies to this situation and so I`ve voted. Kodam

    Is hardness exactly the same as DR?

    Hi! No they're not the same. Hardness applies to all damage except from a spell with the [sonic] descriptor or an adamantine weapon if the items Hardness is less than 20. DR only helps against physical damage but not against magic of any kind. But both do effectively reduce the damage taken...

    Plot Help: high-level plot twist needed after PC's ally with their foe.

    Hi! Perhaps the Realms above are not empty but inhabited by beings that revere Ashardolon and do now act to save their god? Or some powerful race is dwelling there that is seeking a way to invade the pit since a long time and will do so if the pit is opened? Kodam

    Searching a rule

    Hi! I was pretty sure that Weapon Specialization only works up to a range of 30 ft. ala Sneak Attack or Point Blank Shot. But I can't find it in the books now. Am I remembering an 3.0 rule that was changed in 3.5? Could anyone give me a pointer, please? Kodam

    Planar Problem

    Hi! Your Cleric is able to cast Plane Shift twice a day. Combined with Scry its pretty easy to get him back. You don`t even have to buy Winged Boots, a Fly Potion would do the trick as well. I'd buy them nevertheless just in case... :D Kodam

    Rope vs. Chain

    Hi! The only answer I can think of concerning the weight is, that the standard rope is quite thick and the chain is quite fine. Thick ropes also are quite cumbersome which might be final reason for setting the weight as it is done. Kodam

    Condolences to the victims of the Indonesia quake

    Hi! Deaths are up to 80.000-100.000. Thats one of the worst catastrophes in human history ever. On the oper sea, the waves just didn't look special at all and the next moment the buildings stood in the water up to the roof! Horrible. Kodam
