Pick up combat expertise, improved trip, and improved disarm. Trip works for those critters without a weapon, and disarm works with those critters with weapons. Eventually, you can pick up knock down (don't know if complete warrior has it, but sword and fist does).

Relics and Rituals (oh how I love the Relics and Rituals books) has a spell called Pass the Years (cleric or wizard 6th level spell) that ages the target 1d10 years (fortitude negates). While a low level party would have no chance to use this, a (much) higher group could. Also, a donation of...

Validation! The SRD states about antimagic (under special qualities) that, "Spell areas that include both an antimagic area and a normal area, but are not centered in the antimagic area, still function in the normal area. If the spell’s center is in the antimagic area, then the spell is...

The mithril golem from the epic level handbook (I know...3.0) had extra actions (it was permanently hasted). Ettins have two heads, and each head controls an arm (and I guess that each arm could be performing a seperate action). Just checked the SRD...regen is extraordinary, and to quote the...

As a note, I used the table in the SRD dealing with creating magic items to figure out how much a rod of quicken spell (lesser) would cost with no maximum uses per day. The item turned out to be 58,333.33g. If the same rod were to be useable only once per day, this would become 11,666.66g. THis...

Just remembered...a potion of gaseous form would rock as an escape. He chugs that and then floats out past the adventurers...they can see him, but unless they have magic items (and get lucky) they can't hurt him...and if they do manage to kill them, they don't get much from the potion. It also...

What level/class is the BBEG? Check out the cape of the Mountebank; once per day dimension door, and the item is only 10k or so. Depending on his location, he could do something like "dimension door 700 feet up, feather fall". 10k isn't too bad, and if he is a caster with the right feats, he...

Animal companions are just really well trained, really loyal animals. Familiars are ex-animals (now magical beasts) who are fairly intelligent and count as a part of the caster. Animal companions are always animals...they will never become more intelligent than int 2 (or 3, in rare cases)...

With... a HERRING!

I guess you could charm them several times. Lycanthropes are shapechangers, and charm person only affects humanoids. I don't know if that is metagame or not... Usually if someone in our party is bitten we give them belladonna just in case. Then we keep a watch on them the next full moon. Also...

In 3.0, weapon spec was limited to 30 feet. We thought this was stupid, and WOTC seems to have agreed, as there is no maximum range for weapon spec in 3.5.

Yes, he would. Edit: page 166 of the player's handbook (3.5) states that "an item attended by a character (being grasped, touched, or worn) makes saving throws as the character (that is, using the character's saving throws)."

Lol and I forgot...if the arrows are still in the cone when they hit, I would say the bonus is null and void. However, I would think it fair that a magic bow could conceivably still grant the bonus to hit (as it adds to accuracy, maybe?). The arrows, I would assume, just add more "punching...

I would say that a ray or missile effect that had to pass through it would not function. The spell description itself states that summoned creatures wink out of existence when in the spell, so any physical effect of a spell that had to pass through the cone would wink out. I would say that...

I would like to point out that few druids ever actually reach their max potential...many people won't min/max classes. Yes, a druid can be broken. But, with the right spells, so can a wizard or any other spellcasting class. Heck, in 3.0 edition, the bard/fighter was one of the best classes to...

If you wanted to play a ninja paladin (and had DM approval) I would say switch medium and heavy armor for improved unarmed strike or the ability to have hide and move silently as class skills (either the feat or the two skills, selected at character level). Another thing that wouldn't be broken...

I'm not sure what Divine metamagic does, but from the 3.5 players handbook, I say that you could use persistant spell to make time stop last 24 hours. You gain 24 hours to do whatever, and everyone else feels no time pass at all. Persistant spell, if i'm not mistaken, affects the duration of a...

Lol Dakkareth, that made me chuckle. If you want something really hard to do, find a completed deadgate (minor artifact with stats in Dungeon magazine 89). This 200 foot tall artifact eats the souls of anything that dies within 100 miles of the artifact. If the artifact is destroyed, the souls...

Oops Felon, you are right...I was fifth level... But yeah, I mainly went katana for the coolness factor. Like I said, I was going with a samurai-looking char. But the way I read the rules (and I may well be wrong) you have to have a free hand to use deflect arrows, and you can't use it with...

Lol Jack...I didnt say the wizard would survive but you have a point. However, the vengeful gaze of god was just an example. I agree with you...I would go with the spell that DOESN'T kill me... As a note, wish (or even limited wish, with DM approval) might allow you to cast the spell. After all...
