While you probably don't need to see your weapon to gague your reach with it when thrusting or swinging at something, I would bet you definitely would be at a significant penalty in an actual fight. When blades are clashing & deflecting off each other, sheilds and armor and generally whirling...

If the character is a melee build, I don't think it will be much of an issue. If he wants a full attack, he has to open himself up to one from his target, if not others. The situation that can make this ability over-powered is with archery; specifically, (improved) manyshot.

:lol: So he suggested the wolf take him alive, rather than, say, be satisfied with the horse, or break off chase completely... So the bard made more than a few bad decisions. First, was the whole 'harass the orc horde for amusement' thing. Then there's the poor choice for suggestion. And lets...

You do realize animate dead lets you create more than one creature at a time, correct? Either the necromancy or undeath domain lets you create more undead per casting of animate dead (3x CL vs 2x) as its domain power. For ultimate undead army goodness, there's the Dread Necromancer in Heroes of...

Basically, I think this sort of thing is better handled with a discussion with your DM. If you want to raise the city, research/design some sort of ritual to do it for you. If you want to leave it where it is, research/design a method of bypassing the Mythal effect so you can teleport/d-door in...

Scepter of Obedience from MiniHB is like circlet of persuasion, but +5. Belt of Magnificence, also from the MiniHB, gives enhancements bonuses to all 6 attributes. PS (& OT): The game tends to be more fun when you work with the DM instead of viewing it as a competition.

The problem with this interpretation with lesser vigor is that Augment Healing used with lesser vigor would then heal 3 hp/round, which is disgustingly broken. A more reasonable interpretation is to have lesser vigor heal 1 hp every 2 rounds and to have augment healing only heal extra damage on...

According to the poll: ...twenty-seconded...

Are you set on an archer? For ultimate cheese, there are better options. Also, about what levels are you wanting cheesiness?

If you want to take over the world, try the Civilization series; it's much better suited to handle that sort of thing. D&D is a game about collaborative story-telling and epic adventure. World domination is the realm of diplomatic, military, economic and culture conflicts. D&D is very ill-suited...

Save or die effects are one of the sacred cows of this edition. Epic battles that abruptly end with one anti-climactic die roll generally aren't a lot of fun. Spells and other limited effects that are designed to protect from them aren't really much help in the fun department. I definitely like...

There's a great tradition of sneaking up on sleeping dragons. The tricky part is getting to the sleeping dragon. If the dragon was dumb enough to allow itself to be easily snuck upon, it would most likely already be deceased. I would negate the -10 penalty to listen for a sleeping creature with...

There are 3 glaringly broken errors in the XPH. The first two have been mentioned: energy missile & energy stun. The third is dispel psionics. That augment is intended to raise the [i]maximum[/u] bonus to the check, not the actual bonus (which is still manifester level). Beyond that, psionics...

That brings your attacks to +12 when raging (1/day) and +10 normally. And only if your foe isn't blocked by or in combat with anyone else. The sacrifices you made for TWF aren't worth the single extra attack that deals less damage. Drop your dex by 1, boost your wis by 2, pick up a shield and...

Ahh, but brilliant energy does not ignore natural armor, and has a cost magnitudes more than a 2nd level spell. I think as a 3rd level spell that affected only the next attack, it would be balanced.

Your chart is an okay start, but needs refining. Invisibility doesn't quite work like that. A character who can't see an invisible creature can still guess as to which square it's in and attack. Spot & listen checks can greatly aid in determining the square. Displacement doesn't prevent AoOs...

First of all, any build using 36 point buy can be brutal. In cases with extraordinarily high stats, feats that allow 'swapping stats' for something are extremely powerful. That said, I also think the feat is a bit overpowered as it is. The idea is good, it's just too useful as it is, and...

Ultimately, I think it's a DM call. Personally, however, I think it should cost XP. Otherwise, reincarnate & miracle can effectively be used as a raise dead, with 4000gp less material cost.

The MiniHB has shirts that offer this property for around 60kgp. It also lists shirts with DR 5/ for every other type (except epic) including alignment based. Personally, I think the most useful one is DR 5/silver, myself, moreso than even adamantine (which costs more).

I would say no to all but 1 also. Blindsense allows you to 'see' things that you otherwise couldn't. For 2, 3 & 4, your spot checks is opposed by a disguise check; you still see it, you just perceive it incorrectly. If the stone golem is trying to hide behind another statue, blindsense would...
