Talk to your DM. Show him a picture of a battle axe or a late period mace (the ones that look like a Plus Sign at the end of a stick) and let him decide if the core rules are in error or not. Writers of Dungeons and Dragons are not fighters. Katanas, longswords, rapiers, etc, etc, are ALL...

METAMAGIC SPELL TRIGGER (Complete Mage pg 45) You can apply metamagic feats you know to spell effect from magic items you activate with a spell trigger. Prerequities: Any metamagic feat, Use Magic Device 15 ranks, or Spellcraft 15 ranks. Benefit: You can apply any one metamagic feat you know...

Talk to the DM, as everyone has indicated. BUT. You said the words, "players," and "hate." I assume Player means the person and not his characters. I also assume "players that he 'hates'" means "You." This leads me to ask you this question that you should ask yourself: Why are you playing...

This is assuming of course that the caster doesn't have a spell without verbal components available (of which I never leave home without), has a touch attack loaded, or isn't, God Forbid, a Geometer, who rarely needs verbal components. Storme

My biggest advice to a DM is this: The Play is the Thing. The rules are fundamentally irrelevent. You can play the exact scenario with d20 rules or the ancient Runequest rules. A good DM is not someone who focueses on numbers and dice. The DM that READS every encounter from his notes or the...

Not sure why you'd want to put a stop to this anyway. To me its exactly like saying "I have a fighter in my game that keeps hitting people with his battleaxe. What can I do to stop that?" Glitterdust is a good spell that will become less effective as he goes up in levels. For now, instead...

Ummm...huh? Anyway, the feat description is quite clear on what is and isn't allowed. By extention, detect magic could not be made persistant. All areas described must be true for the feat to apply. If all but one apply, the feat cannot be used. As I recall, after putting together a...

Cough...3+1 is 4. That makes it a 4th level spell. If the idea is that a wizard can scribe a +1 slot metamagic enhanced fireball into his spell book, maintaining its metamagic and still only a 3rd level spell...then NO. That would be called breaking the rules heavily.

If a DM penalizes someone for ingenuity, they're a buckethead. Still, in this matter, I think the accuracy of such an action would be pretty outrageous. Since he has no combat training, nor the ability to actually train in it, I would make him make a ranged touch attack with no attack...

Other than carrying bags, strength will have very little use for your wizard. Its a dump stat big time! Even wisdom helps with saves!

Most of the stat based defenses as well as the attack methods you are discussing is ideal if you're a rogue. For a wizard, the only physical stat that is remotely important is con and dex and then only a little. Everything you're considering, even point blank shot (which is good to have but...

I heard someone comment on this (Feat?). They said "Automatic Spell" was in Complete Arcane. He said it made a low level spell an "at will spell like ability." According to him it has a list of metamagic feat requirements, but is not a metamagic feat. I can find nothing in CA that matches...

Spell Enhancer (SC) (swift action cast!!! so it can be cast the same round as your followup spell) Increases CL by 2, and DC by 1 Mystic Surge (PH2) Increases CL by 1, and DC by 2 Bestow Curse and Crushing Despair are must have debuffs. Each can give -4 to saves. If you use both, that's -8...

The limitation of these two spells as compared to Animate Dead are duration. Create Undead gives you NO control over the undead you create and it will attack you. I find the spell pretty useless myself, and it's high on my "Don't Bother" List. Control and Command Undead controls undead you...

The MacFarlene Dragons aren't remotely Collasal. Take a look at the Colossal Red Dragon minature that is amost triple the MacFarlen Dragon's size. They are a HAIR under Gargantuan. You could say they are Gargantuan and no one would notice!

Hmm. I'm one of those people that think that a hydra, dragon or giant skeleton or zombie wouldn't make a good option because they can't fit into my castle or into the dungeon with me. Mirrors of Life Trapping are great to store undead servants and simulacrums by the way. Also, don't forget...

I'm sure a Golem could wear armor or use weapons, even magic ones (caryathid columns do), though I would force the character to find large or huge equipment for golems larger than flesh golems, and not allow stuff that could be used by a typical character (like the boots your half orc barbarian...

The only problem I see with that regarding the Rakshasa is that DR and SR don't change depending on its level. Again, part of the problem with how the spell is described. In any case, it doesn't really address the Dragon issue. A dragon's abilities have nothing to do with its HD, but its age...

The answer to your question is...they do. NEXT!

Well...its not as tough as greenbound or monster of legend, but.... What book is Feral in? I can't find it. Storme
