This is one of the flaws of statting out beings that probably shouldn't have been statted in the first place. Planescape, back in 2nd Edition, was really good about this, indicating that the Powers, and even the Lords of the Nine or the demon princes (the Celestial Hebdomad didn't come into...

I wanted to get some input here. I'm considering using the "Spontaneous Divine Spellcaster" variant from Unearthed Arcana for my Druid, but I'm weighing it against the power of the standard Player's Handbook Druid. The one thing I'm already noting is that spontaneous divine casters don't get a...

Yes, abishai should most definitely be baatezu. I would give them that subtype if they don't already have it.

I always use this gauge as to what might be "overpowered" (I put it in quotes because most of the time I don't believe in the concept; most often I find a Dungeon Master calls something overpowered when they just weren't expecting an intelligent application of the spell's concepts, and they...

Zephyrus: That sounds like a nice setup, honestly. If you wouldn't mind, let me know about the specifics of how you got your save DCs to 30+spell level. That would be useful to me. :) Most of the damage my Druid is going to deal is going to be through direct-damage spells and summoned...

Bebilith have never been tanar'ri, even when the term was first coined in 2nd Edition (in an attempt to move away from the term "demon", which set too many of the religious right against the game). By their very description, they're demon-hunters. That's what they do in their native Abyss...

Looking for some assistance in getting the save DCs for my Druid up as high as they can manage to go. Preferably item-based or feat-based. Any help (with rulebook references so I can show unusual things to my Dungeon Master for his approval) would be greatly appreciated. We're using 3.5, if...

Yeah, Hyp, I realized that after I hit the "Submit" button and carefully reread the elemental wildshape text in the 3.5 Player's Handbook. It specifically states that your type doesn't change. I'm just feeling a little too lazy to go back and either edit the previous post so it still makes...

While I understand that there's some common sense lacking from the new Polymorph rules in 3.5, the bottom line is that those who don't apply common sense in the absence of its written form are those who are slaves to the letter of the law, and those who have no real concept of the spirit of the...

I've always done it as GAY-lee e-LAH-drin.

Damn, you're right. *SIGH* I'm going to have to figure out some way to make up those 9 points of AC. :) Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendations, Sithramir. However, by using a Monk's belt, you can avoid having to take the level of Monk, at least as far as the bonus to AC is concerned. I've figured out that with wearing Ironwood Wild Full Plate +2, a Ring of Protection +5, an Amulet of Natural Armor +4, a...

Someone else has recommended taking the "Dragon Wildshape" feat from the Draconomicon, which seems now like a no-brainer to me. Mmmm, shadow dragons... :) More recommendations welcomed!

The concept is neat, but I think the execution leaves a bit to be desired, at least conceptually. I realize that in an attempt to make psionics as attractive an option to Dungeon Masters who might be wary about including psionics in their game as possible, they try to make it mirror the...

Combine those two feats (well, you have to have one to get the other, but anyway...) with the Archmage ability "Mastery of Counterspelling", and you're rarely going to have to worry about enemy spellcasters again. :) There's some viciousness in the game if you look around hard enough....

This is a pretty nice build, and I'm impressed. The one thing that I have some concerns about, however, is the need for the armor feats to be able to wear the full plate in the first place. I doubt my DM would complain much about my having wooden full plate. It's unusual, but probably not...

The idea of a Hierophant ability like that has occurred to me before, but I've ultimately decided against doing Hierophant because a lot of the abilities it grants depend specifically on targets actively worshipping a Power, which many don't. Many are just interested in making a snack out of...

Yeah, I'm asking for some help here; I've asked on the WotC boards as well, but responses seem to be pretty slow there, so I'm coming here. :) I want a twinked-out build for my 15th level Druid. I'm looking for something that elicits gasps of "Holy *expletive*" from the folks at my table when...

I'm a bit curious if there's some prestige class or feat out there that will grant a Druid the "Mastery of Elements" ability that the Archmage enjoys. It just doesn't make sense to me that Druids, with as much focus on elemental magic as they have, wouldn't have something to alter that for them...

As Hyp can likely attest (no doubt with significant frustration), I've always been pretty vocal on the WotC boards about having no problems with the 3.0 Haste. I'm currently running my party through this module as well, and the Haste has definitely helped my foes challenge the party; they're...
