Solution: Be A Wizard of Finance! Well, I don't know much about the scenario you're running but I can give you some long term ideas. It is true that the House Rule truly stinks. But, one of the DM's job that people tend to forget is, that he's responsible to make the game as fun for the...

Gauntlets of Dexterity. Girdle of Giant Strength will help you with touch attacks. That covers all of them. Storme

I LOVE the Magic Item Compendium for very many reasons including detailing slots, magic item clothing (the absense of which has always bothered me), item creation and other "official rules," that just make more sense. I think your DM is a bisquet head and he's banned from DMing for me or my...

I'd like to give you some suggestions as to how to resolve this. We all know the rule is illogical and poorly thought out, but here's my idea on what you could do. 1) Remind the DM that Cohorts (mention that) aren't considered as part of the party when calculating xp even though they get xp...

Yep. I sure do. 2 Huge Air Elementals are going to take the fire giant apart much faster and more effectively than one Greenbound Elemental who can cast wall of thorns, 10 DR, fast healing, etc. Better yet, have two huge air elementals fight one greenborn air elemental. Grab some dice, a...

To me, the most powerful bar none is twin...or Energy Add Mixture (but that takes 2 feats to get) with Wand Mastery. Especially if you're an Artificer. When you can do 30d6 at level 9, and one-shot just about anything the DM throws at your party...I'm thinking a bit much (Scorching Ray CL 11...

Ah. Potions and Oils. That's it. Thanks Castro

Depends on what you want to do. Some creatures can resurrect. That 16HD Rakshasa Ak'Chazar from MM III can do Trap the Soul DC 24! I suggest reading through the Outsiders and compile a list of what interesting abilites each can do. Want to get back at that badguy that got the drop on you...

I read a comment somewhere that a Schema is one of two ways that an Artificer can add infusions to a spell trigger item. Of course, he nor anyone else on the thread ever elaborated as to the second. Other than Schema, how can my artificer create an infusion device? I'm trying to find a way...

Interesting how the restictions lighten the further forward through D&D history you go. I suspect that has something to do with what we know about space/time. From what little I know about physics I would personally see no problem with a "bag within a bag" scenario...but if you turn one inside...

Well, owing to the intent of Profession, I would say you could use the skill to earn 1d20 +X skill copper per day. Other than very few crafting requirements I'm aware of, this is what Profession is really for, other than adding "flavor." I find that Profession is best given to your Followers...

Just get a regular vorpal sword and get an item made that casts a melee version of Hunter's Mercy. HUNTER’S MERCY Transmutation Level: Ranger 1 Components: S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round Your eyes glow red, but you see the world as normal except...

Just a comment regarding "balance." If this whole scenario works, the NPC's can do it to. It is...ipso facto, not a problem. As I overheard one wise DM say to his player who had a level 9 artificer with all that wand, twin, energy admixture stuff..."If it's possible for you to do 20d6 at...

I used to do this VERY frequently in AD&D. I wonder if in 3.5 there would be any problem with this. Okay...the mission is over so, the wizard lays down his portale hole and climbs inside. His quasit familiar then rolls it up and picks it up. Meanwhile, inside the Hole, the wizard uses his...

Here's a good one. Does a simulacrum mount...say...a sim Pegasus, need to be trained? It's 100% obedient to the caster...would that limit the need for training? Storme

I like that. Fits in line with the "risk/benefit" of the original version.

Hi there, Heroes. I wanted to drag up an old topic. I've read some of the older threads on the subject but none of them quite touched the topic in the way I'm interested. I'm gearing up to bring back my old "Magic User," into 3.5. His prime "motis operandi" was a wide range of use for...

One must assume that if the character could do this he would. Back to your question. Personally I don't think it would work. Magic Item Infusion Feat allows feats to be applied to spell trigger devices, but as Hyp pointed out, neither of the abilites in question are metamagic feats. What...

All the monsters you mentioned just SOUND cosmic. I'm certain that anything from the Epic Handbook isn't worth discussing. Anything faster than 60' that's around 7HD or less that's medium or larger? Storme

Ah. You forget the game system. EVERYTHING in D&D including walking down the hall, chatting in the tavern, combat and traveling takes into account WIDE (and sometimes Wild) AVERAGES. An average horse from our world walks faster than almost any walking creature in D&D...including a horse (in...
