    D&D 3E/3.5 magic item creator 3.5

    PC Gen is a fairly ugly application, but it has all of the D&D 3.5 edition SRD in it, and it practically makes you create magic items. That's because they didn't bother to list all the magic items, so for many things, what you have to do is go into the inventory, find the non-magical item (say...

    Tier list for PF classes, or summary of each?

    No, he's good. He can do things as a DM that I cannot, and I admire him for being more capable. But he also has a play style that rewards certain types of classes -- those that are more self-sufficient and self-contained. So I'm here to see if anyone can collaborate with me on what those...

    Tier list for PF classes, or summary of each?

    Thanks! What I like playing is whatever classes are at the top of the tier list. So this really is what I need to be investigating. I don't need to play a powerful character, but I do need to play a successful one, and I need to play one that won't bore me. Since the tier list not only is...

    Tier list for PF classes, or summary of each?

    Although I've dabbled in the past, it looks like I'm about to get into Pathfinder a lot. I will be selecting a character to play every other week, for probably the next 4 years, and I'll probably only be level 13 or 14 when it ends. I need to pick a class that will remain interesting...

    No. You would have to make some up yourself.

    Sample Commoners and Aristocrats

    There is a Swords & Sorcery book full of NPCs that has many NPC classes in it. I can't recall the name of the book right now, and my copy is in storage. But maybe that helps? The other option is to use the free HeroForge spreadsheet (if you have Excel), as it has the classes and can walk you...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Manyjaws needs errata but has none - please advise

    Manyjaws requires concentration to maintain it. The PHB lists concentration as a standard action. So while concentrating on Manyjaws, a character could also move, but could not do other attacky things such as cast another spell. Yes? With that in mind, "redirecting jaws is a standard action"...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Twins that turn out to be a single person with dueling personalities is a plot line from that video game.

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Best cleric spells to put on scrolls?

    The person scribing the scroll pays the XP cost and the price of the scroll increases by 5 gp per XP point.

    is this GM bad or am i just a wuss?

    There are a number of responses to what you just wrote. I'll run you through all of them. Welcome to sandbox gaming, dude. This is how it works. Sucks to be you, but it's a popular play style that your DM likes. Get used to it. You won't be able to change him on this count, I suspect. As...

    Non-Epic Level Spell Creation

    Page 35 of the DMG. This information is not part of the SRD, nor is it open content. It's copyrighted and kept private as an incentive to force people to buy the DMG. So you won't find it online unless you resort to piracy, which nobody here can recommend. Having said that, the very general...

    Order of the Stick #800

    If he was so nervous about damage from arrows that he used a spell to take out Haley, couldn't he just have used a spell to protect himself from arrows?

    is this GM bad or am i just a wuss?

    My guess as to how I'd handle it. GM: "You're manacled, and numbed. It's impossible to do anything." ME: "OK, Mr. Game Master, what are our options here? Or if you don't wish to provide hints, can you at least clue me in as to what my character sees as possibilities?" GM: "Did you miss where...

    is this GM bad or am i just a wuss?

    Epicbob, I can see you've got 5 pages of replies to this question. I've not read them; I'm simply going to answer your original question. These are my observations regarding 9 of the points from your post. That doesn't sound fun to me. I mean, if it's playful because you guys really are...

    Yeah, it was actually funny this time, and we didn't have to wait a month to get it. A+++ would read it again.

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Best cleric spells to put on scrolls?

    "You must spread some Experience Points around before giving it to _____ again." That came up for all of you except Ranger. I tried to give each of you XP, but couldn't. But I do appreciate it. My character already had a few scrolls: Circle Dance, Dark Way, Endure Elements, Remove Paralysis...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Best cleric spells to put on scrolls?

    What spells should NOT be on my list of daily memorized spells, but are instead better relegated to scrolls? I'm thinking utility spells, 6th level or lower, but I'm not sure which ones would get a lot of use. Ideas? What scrolls are in your cleric's equipment list?

    Good cleric spells, level 6, NOT from core/SRD?

    So here is what I've ended up with as my pool of reliably good 6th level cleric spells. Wind Walk -- Okay, but with a team of 5 total, this only is useful at level 12 or greater, when I can take all 4 allies with me. For now, our sorcerer just casts Phantom Steed 5 times, and we can still move...

    Good cleric spells, level 6, NOT from core/SRD?

    A 10' square is a 5' radius. No errata needed; they're consistent.

    Good cleric spells, level 6, NOT from core/SRD?

    Thanks! I must spread some XP around before giving more to StreamOfTheSky, but thank you for the suggestions. Duke, I'm not any set role. I'm a generalist. On the spell sheet now is Find The Path and Heal. Those are fine, but uninspiring. So I'd love a fun/effective spell or two that is...
