    Shadow Conjuration

    So I have some questions about Shadow Conjuration. I like how they are always very detailed in the rules about all combat related uses of something and completely ignore most everything else. Do they expect all games to only be all combat? Anyway, enough side rant and back to the question. If...

    Vampire Template - Version 2.0

    I didn't see any information on challenge ratings anywhere. Assuming you have CR information, have you playtested it at all to see how accurate they are? Also, what ECL changes for PC's?

    Bluff or Spellcraft check?

    I have a ruling question. In my DragonStar campaign it's illegal to be an unregistered psion. So the psion in the group pretends to be a wizard. He walks around with a stick and pretends to cast a spell when using his powers if he thinks someone is watching who shouldn't know he is a psion. I'm...

    [d20] Class Skills

    I know this is more of a house rules comment, but a few of that sort have already been made here, so I'll throw in my two cents. I allow spot and listen to be class skills for EVERYONE. It seems exceptionally silly to me that it wouldn't be so, and it isn't even remotely unbalancing in any of my...

    Ice Storm... Full round?

    Here's a question ... why doesn't DR protect against the bludgeoning damage portion? I understand with something like Balde Barrier the blades are magical force blades or whatever, but isn't the bludgeoning damage from Ice Storm just getting hit by big pieces of ice? Or is this just another...

    Illusions, Zombies, and Golems

    The specific situation where this came up in my campagin was actually in Dragon Star. The PC's were got in an ambush in a starship hanger by some intelligent robots. The robots were also tapped into all the cameras in the hanger and so were able to see most of what was going on everywhere and...

    Illusions, Zombies, and Golems

    So basically, you can have the most powerful illusionist in the world, with an impossibly high DC, who casts some super high level illusion of a horrifying red dragon and then some kid throws a stone at it and it goes right through it and everyone automatically understands immediately that it's...

    Illusions, Zombies, and Golems

    If someone believes an illusion is real and "hit" it, couldn't you make a case they they would "stop themselves" unconsciously to support the illusion idea and thus not have their weapon swing through it? A sort self-fullfilling idea ... I mean otherwise doesn't this make illusionary wall the...

    Illusions, Zombies, and Golems

    I got one person's opinion in the first answer. It was a good answer, but one random person's opinion is hardly a good discussion or exploration of the topic. I hoping for a variety of opions on the question, or least others chiming in to agree with that interpretation (not that I'm devaluing...

    Illusions, Zombies, and Golems

    As much as this whole shadow evocation topic is interressting, I would appreciate my thread not being hijacked for other issues. It's hard enough to get good coherrent replies to a hard question without endless side discussions. If you wish to discuss other topics, I ask that you please start...

    Illusions, Zombies, and Golems

    Yeah, but part of my point is can a zombie really notice that a dire bear isn't leaving footprints? It has no intelligence. Not low, but none. Same for golems.

    The situations I'm concerned about don't involve a "Controller".

    Illusions, Zombies, and Golems

    I have a couple of questions on how illusions should work. First, should there be special rules for them affecting zombies and golems and other non-intelligent creatures? Doesn't seem to make much sense to give soemthing with no Int a will save to "disbelief" an illusion no matter how much they...
