  1. Silver Griffon

    Magic Staves got the shaft.

    Check out the description of the Magister class in Monte Cook's upcoming Arcana Unearthed. http://www.montecook.com/diary8.html It vaguely reminds me of the importance of the staff in Ursula K. LeGuinn's Earthsea books.

    multi-prestige classes

    The only thing from this list that I really get too concerned with is the "flavor text" compliance. I allow any number of PrCs as long as the character meets all prereqs (which I may add to) and they can be combined in any way that makes sense for the character in question. Of course I also only...

    Which of the 3.5 books are you going to buy (very soon)?

    I've already pre-ordered all three online and I am planning to purchase the gift set of all three when it comes out later this year as well.

    Poll: How much time do you devot to a gaming session ?

    We game once a week for about 6 hours. I have to drive 45 minutes to 1 hour to get there and the same to get back.

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Changes to the Monster Manual

    Unless these qualities are changed in 3.5 I think the part I put in bold text shows that a lawful character, for example, is very unlikely to be willing to wield a Chaotic weapon! The Lawful weapon enhancement bestows the same negative level on chaotic creatures. But remember, DR does not make...

    Non-cleric and non-paladin priests?

    Don't forget Aristocrats. Lots and lots of Aristocrats.

    Dragon #309

    I find that annoying at times too, but in this case it was done to keep the Scourge of Worlds demo DVD from being swiped.

    3.5 Call Lightning

    No, the really cool part is that the current version of the spell doesn't work at all if you are not already in a storm. Pretty much made it useless in the past unless you also had control weather as it was completely up to the DM whether or not the weather would cooperate with you enough to use...

    Movie "Druids" w/ Chris Lambert......

    The Hunted rocked, but only because of John Lone in the train scene (and some good nudity ;)). Beige upholstered ninjas! :p Greystoke was excellent, the only superior Tarzan was Johnny Weissmuller. HIGHLANDER IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER and its a good thing that they never made any sequels OR...

    Butterfly familiar?

    Really? I thought they could only exceed their base speed with a dive. Does that mean a flying creature with a base speed of 30 ft. could "run" at 4x and dive at 2x, therefore traveling 150 ft. (4x plus 2x equals 5x)? I'd sure hate to have that land on me! :p

    Power attack bonus x2 for 2 hand weps

    Dr_Rictus, I stand corrected.

    Butterfly familiar?

    How about this: Butterfly Familiar: Fine magical beast; Speed 0’ (a crawling butterfly can move 5 ft. as a full round action), fly 30’ (good); Init +4, AC. 22, touch 18, flat-footed 18 (size +8, Dex +4); Atk -- (+8 BAB, no attack form); Face/Reach ½ ft. x ½ ft./0 ft.; SQ granted abilities; AL...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Bull's Strength

    I don't think Empower was abusive in 3.0 either. There are a lot of better things you could have done with that same 6th or 8th level spell slot. (Personally I use feats like these mainly during item creation, ie maximized empowered wands.) I do however think that it implies that an effort has...

    Power attack bonus x2 for 2 hand weps

    Another factor that may help keep this in check for those who think it is too powerful: I have read somewhere on these boards that the stat boosting spells will be a flat +4 instead of 1d4+1 similar to d20 modern. If that is correct and the Empower Spell and Maximize Spell feats remain unchanged...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Bull's Strength

    Just to fan the flames a little: I have read somewhere on these boards that the stat boosting spells will be a flat +4 instead of 1d4+1 similar to d20 modern. If that is correct and the Empower Spell and Maximize Spell feats remain unchanged they will not be able to affect these spells. That...

    Is the Revised Druid the Best. Druid. Ever?

    Very excellent indeed. Although I will miss my little menagerie... Hey, maybe there will be a feat for an extra animal companion.

    Is 5 ft step a move?

    Technically, you could draw your weapon as a free action while moving 5 feet if you have a BAB of +1 or higher and YOU DECLARE IT AS A MOVE ACTION. As a move action you can move UP TO your speed. Of course, you can still only make a single attack action or move-equivalent action afterwards so it...

    Starting level of new characters.

    Same as lowest level works for me.

    Loads of new Light spells

    Suggestion: Lightbeam should be "Effect: Ray" instead of "Target: One creature." Then only give a Ref save vs. the blindness, not the damage since it would require a successful ranged touch attack. It seems to fit the spell description better. Otherwise, I love it. Lightbeam Evocation (Light)...

    Fun stuff to do with illusions

    Interaction is relative and does not always mean physical contact. If, for example, you target the illusion with a spell or psionic ability that would be interaction. If you are a bard and you play or sing music to the illusion, that would be interaction. If you engage the illusion in shouted...
