Ok, from what I can tell the whole problem with [evil] can be shown in one spell: Deathwatch On the surface, for a good cleric, this looks like a great spell. Let's you know who is hurt and how bad, basically come up with a strategy on how to keep people alive. I can see that. Looks good...

make a spell just like it with the [Good] descriptor?

And for the most part in every campaign I've been in good clerics can't cast inflict, evil clerics can't cast cure. I know it's not in the rules, hence the house rule part of my reply. Evil =/= negative energy in the core rules house rules evil = negative energy, good = positive I think it's...

Well, this may be kind of a house rule hodge podge, but here is my explanation as to why casting an [evil] spell is evil. First off, most of these spells are inherently evil, no question about it, mean, nasty, not very nice spells. But what about those ones on the border? What makes them "bad?"...

On a 20 for a skill check add +10 to the result. So a 20 = 20 + 10 + modifier On a 1 for a skill check, subtract 10 from the result. So 1 - 10 + modifier. 20 - 20 - 20 on any hit is automatic death, if the creature is susceptible to critical hits. I actually have seen this a couple times in...

Skill focus use magic device? Yeah it's not a class skill, but the +3 would help a ton. That way not only can you get bigger, badder, and better you also could use any magic item in the game.

So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

come on you can get meaner than that! Apply the Corrupted Template from BoVD to the Rust Monsters, advance em a bit. Make a permanent illusion of the floor with a 5 foot deep hole underneath for the back half of the room, than have a black pudding underneath. The room is trapped so that...

Hold the Line vs. Cleave I played a Tribal Defender who had both those feats with a reach weapon. What I found was that I used Cleave in just about every combat, especially in combats with a lot of opponents. Hold the Line I used twice in the entire campaign. Reason being, well number one I...

o rtfm ftw. That's sick. Who allows this item in their campaign? Do you allow it unmodified or what?

Let me be a little more specific: I see the it referring to "the standard single extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon" so that the sentance would read (now I know this sounds clunky): In addition to the standard single extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon, you get a second...

Retributive Amulet, BoED pg 116 I don't know if this has been asked before, but does the wearer of this item take full or half damage from melee attacks? The way I read it is that they would take full and the attacker would take half, but as an astute player pointed out it says reflected (or...

I would read that as a -5 to the attack bonus of the 1st off hand attack, or +6 - 5 for +1. The it in the sentance refers back to the first part of the sentance, not to your BAB, at least to me anyway.

Dragonlance? At one point, I remember there being some kind of an alignment bar in the Dragonlance Campaign setting. You would tick off slashes for good/evil/chaotic/lawful actions. I also remember using the Bloodstone of Fistandantilus was an automatic -10 when used to drain the life and...

100' shaft + pit trap + ginormous black pudding = PC soup take 10d6 falling damage then make saves for all your equipment plus take acid damage from the pudding which had a ready action to attack whatever fell into it.....

4th level? As a 4th level spell you think this is ok? So far it seems to be, let me know if you think I should change it and why. Thanks for the feedback.

Feats Well if you can't find any feats in the normal rules, just do it like you did everything else - talk to the DM and make some up. Home brew feats are always better than the ones in the books! I suggest: Dragon Breath - If good, breath like a gold dragon equal to your level in hit dice...

Thanks guys, we'll see what happens. Hard to say which would be more powerful - stacking or 2 rolls. Based on my feats and ability scores, I now have a +16 to my bardic knowledge (at 4th level) and a +15 to my loremaster knowledge (at 3rd level). At the current level, my odds of...

? Based on this response I would say take whatever feats do the most damage in the least amount of time and don't complicate the rules at all. Also if you are going to be fighting dragons alot, look at Dragonbane, Dragonfoe, Dragondoom, all in the Draconomicon. At least that way you can use...

Nervous about 4th level? What about Rope Trick? Based on the most common rules of the planes and D&D, that's a 2nd level spell that HAS to provide access to one of the transitive planes. In doing so, casting a rope trick inside a rope trick should do exactly what this spell describes...
