    Telekinesis

    The "combat maneuver" option of the telekinesis spell allows to perform a grapple. - If the caster has the feat improved grapple, does he get the +4 bonus on the telekinetic grapple check? - What is the damage dealt by the telekinetic grapple? In the "violent thrust" option, the caster can hurl...

    How much would you price boots of Expeditious Retreat?

    Like Patryn of Elvenshae said, you have to take into account that there are two effects in the boots of springing and striding, which multiplies the cost of the secondary effect by 1.5. Depending on which effect you choose as secondary, the price for a 10' bonus would be 2000gp or 1750gp. By...

    How much would you price boots of Expeditious Retreat?

    I guess the exact price can be adjusted based on your campaign style. If PCs routinely face 4 or more fights per day, then the difference in duration of boots of speed vs boots of expeditious retreat becomes a factor, and the later should be priced closer to the former (but not equal, in my...

    How much would you price boots of Expeditious Retreat?

    I think that the price estimates made in this thread so far are really too high and, to me, show that this should not be the method used to calculate the price of the boots of expeditious retreat. In fact, the DMG specifically mentions the types of bonus that have a price, and 10' enhancement...

    help me balance this feat

    A player of mine would like to create a feat that allows him to add its dex bonus to weapon damage, in addition to its str bonus, when using weapons allowed with weapon finesse (just like the ability elegant strike form the Champion of Corellon Larethian PrC in Races of the Wild). I am not sure...

    I need beholder tactics

    oops ... a typo. hmmm ... what you wrote sounds like it works rule-wise, but I wonder if this is really what the designers had in mind when assigning the CR. This kind of tactic almost guarantees a PC kill every round. And I still think they would not have gone to all the trouble of explaining...

    I need beholder tactics

    I don't think so because the MM says: "During a single round, a beholder can aim only two eye rays at targets in any one 90-degree arc. The remaining eyes must aim at targets in other arcs, or not at all"

    I need beholder tactics

    What's the best way to use a beholder's antimagic cone? If a beholder keeps its central eye open against a group of PCs, it seems to me that it hinders it more than the PCs because it cannot target the PCs with its eye rays, whereas they can just take a move action in their turn to get out of...

    Do You Prefer 4 Or More Players (+ DM) When RPGing?

    I am the most confortable with 3-5 players. I once had to DM 10 high school kids, and it just drove me crazy ...

    Robe of the archmagi

    Well, that does bring the price very close to the listed price. But is this logical? Could you say that a +2 str +2 dex +2 con belt has similar abilities because it is standard fighter boosts?

    Robe of the archmagi

    I was trying to derive the cost of this wondrous item, but I don't even come close. Can someone help? Here's what I have: +5 armor bonus AC: 25 000gp Spell resistance 18: 60 000gp +4 resistance bonus to saving throws: 16 000gp +2 enhancement bonus to CL checks against SR: 5000gp (really not...

    Shackled City vs Age of Worms. FIGHT!

    I think that SC's first few advenures were really good and entertaining but, for me, the quality went down in a few of the later ones. Overall, though, I think it made for quite a fun ride mostly because of some of the more crazy ideas. AoW is very solid and well executed (much more than SC)...

    Types of gameplay

    I am always unconfortable with these so called "categories" of games. RPGs are too complex for that. At most, I can see a dichotomy between player-driven or GM-driven campaigns, and even this is really a continuum. I also think that a lot of the elements that were put into one category could...

He likes Tumna and Eddy and would like to stay with them. He is sure that there are people to help...

    Summon Monster Ruling

    My opinion is that the intent of the designers of this spell was to force summoners to learn the appropriate language/use some magical means of communication or not be able to give orders. This is apparent from the text of the spell summon monster: If you do not rule that celestials understand...

    Training monsters

    A player of mine managed to buy an adult pseudonatural hippogriff (Complete Arcane template, gives int 3 to the base creature). He would like to domesticate and train it to use it as a flying mount. Are there rules about training adult (not trained from infancy) wild monsters that have an...
