I'd say that much like with Energy Drain, the caster can choose which spell he loses for each spell level...

I'd probably rule that you could only meld equipment you could possibly wear unmelded all at once, meaning that you'd have to stick to the "Limit on Magic Items Worn" list. If you've got a pair of boots melded, you couldn't meld another pair of boots, slippers, horseshoes, or any other...

Well, I don't have the Player's Handbook in front of me, but looking at the SRD, it says that it attacks from the character's direction, and can flank. Since it can flank, it must have a threatened area, but since it can only attack from the character's direction, it should probably only be...

*YOINK* Grabbing this for my game. Not sure if I'm going to include them as-is, considering that not all of my players are "mature" enough to handle the Stepsons and their "philosophy"... That's one way of putting it...

Well, now that I'm home and have access to my books, reading the version that says "you" instead of "the character" lends a slightly different feel. It almost seems to use "you" to describe a mounted character as a whole. But it can still go either way, and since I have a slight infestation of...

Where does it say that? I couldn't find anything indicating this myself, unless it's in an updated FAQ...

The DM is always right. :D That out of the way, my ruling would've been that, according to the text of the Ride-By Attack feat, you would not provoke an AoO from your target. However, there's nothing saying that your mount is likewise covered, and I'd rule that moving through the creature's...

*yoink* That's going in my game... Glad to see someone else using Thieves' World as an inspiration for their campaign...in mine, many of the names were changed to protect the...err...guilty, but I definitely have a Hell Hound analog that this'll fit nicely...

Yes, my call on this one recently was that a full charge consists of both a move action and the special charge standard action, and that you could draw on the move action. My justification for this was the existence of a Partial Charge action -- if you couldn't charge on a partial action, then...

That's how it used to be, but 3E does it different. You have to take damage at the very moment you begin casting, unless it's a spell that takes more than a standard action to complete... From the SRD: However, Summon Swarm would fall both under the section on Continuous Damage, and the...

Last campaign I ran, it was straight die roll except for max at first. However, this time around I wanted people to be slightly more heroic, so I've made it a "best of two rolls" after first. Then again, I've been setting them up against CR+2 encounters on a regular basis -- there's ten...

Vorpal / Crit to Kill IMC, vorpal weapons will automatically confirm a crit when a threat is rolled, and also automatically threaten a kill, which then needs to be confirmed. This makes the weapon more damaging even if the second roll doesn't confirm, since you'll at the very least...

Morrus, I'm sending you an email now...

So many reviews...ow, my aching head... Who'd have thought back in the T$R lawsuit-happy era that we'd see such an explosion of source material?

Ack...someone beat me to it. Then again, I did spend the last five hours trying to figure out why my computer kept powering off and losing CMOS settings... Oh, well. *bows to Scarab*

Well, if you go strictly by the book, the roll calls for a 1d3, not a 1d6 / 2. If the DM raised a fuss about it, I would've pulled out one of my d3's... And yes, I actually have a set of d3's. Got it in a game of Mage Stones over a decade ago, so they're a bit worn, but basically they're d6's...

I like full color PDFs, with borders and all. If I need to print from the PDF and save ink, I'll switch to grayscale on my printer, and maybe even print it in draft. Usually, the only reason I'm printing it would be as a handout or quick reference for my players, and it doesn't need to be...

Don't forget that anyone doing a full Run action (x4 move, x3 in heavy armor), they also lose their Dex bonus... Nasty combination: casting Fear on the enemy while the rogue archer waits for a good shot in the back when they turn tail...

Pretty good, although I did things a bit differently IMC, since the aquatic elves are different from the standard version, and the drow can't have halfbreed offspring with anything other than demons, and possibly dragons. Just as a note, looks like the official version of both the half-drow and...

I used to have a mechanic for this in 2nd edition, but it no longer works for 3E...after all, there's no save vs. rods... :D
