    Detect Magic vs. Hide/Invisibil.

    Actually, line of sight simply means that there is nothing between you and the subject to interfere with vision. It is not quite the same as saying you have to be able to see the target. Besides, it's a detect spell. If you have to be able to see it before you detect it, that would seem kind of...

    Anyone with a handy MM2 or FF

    My brother has my MM2 and FF, and I am trying to design the stronghold for my party. One of our members is a kyton (chain devil). Anyway, he wants a torture chamber/prison, and wants to use chain golems as guards. What I need to know are the market price, base hit dice, and advancement. BTW...

    What Spells give the DM the most headache...

    Point. However, one might point out that if an unconscious character is just that-unconscious, several things apply: 1. No saves that require awareness. (Maybe a will save for certain specifics, but . . .) 2. An object in contact with a character is not automatically attended. 3. If a character...

    How do your Gods get Power?

    I use a combination of actions and worship for the standard gods. I also use overpowers, fully statted, and they simply are. Their power predates all other forms of existence, except for the Far Realm. Long story.

    What Spells give the DM the most headache...

    undefined Thank you Altalazar. When running a particular encounter, I seriously outnumbered a second level party (they were getting cocky, and i wanted to teach them a lesson). 100 goblins had attacked said party in a small keep. The archer-type ranger shot one dead from the top (-1 hp...

    d20 Hatred near you?

    [/B] This is a trimmed down edit of an earlier post in the thread. Now, the person who posted this is correct. Most people who refuse to try d20 from the old AD&D system believe it to be dumbed down. Okay. Average grade level of 3.5 stuff I have entered into the computer for analysis (I was...

    Concept for a new magic system

    I have been debating further separating the current set of magical items. Under the current system, you have divine magic, arcane magic, and psionics (which may or may not be magic). I have a slightly different idea. Divine dweomers (Connection to the Gods)=Clerics, Divine Champions (Paladins...

    Are you a "loose" DM?

    I would say "slightly over generous". I make my players work for it, but I also make sure the power of the items they receive is balanced to what they went up against. The party I run is currently about 21st lvl, and almost all of them have a minor artifact (low end of epic level item". None...

    Magic Items - flashy and awesome, or not really noticable

    Yes and no. I tend to have characters in my game buy the minor stuff (Forgotten Realms campaign). A healing potion, an everburning torch, a ring of sustenance (cool for a minor item), these they can buy at a temple, or even a high end specialty shop in a fairly large city. However, they need...

    Is the upcoming Revised Psionics Handbook going to replace the previous one?

    Short answer-yes. The original might have feats you want to keep, so I would consider keeping it, or printing a copy of the feats section of the psionics SRD.

    The Expanded Psionics Handbook Confirmed Information Thread

    I am a bit disappointed of what they say is true. I was hoping for a sort of generalist in the psionic classes--a psionicist. Psions were cool, but there were obvious problems. 1. Psychometabolism should have had Con, not Str, as its primary. For psychokinesis, the opposite. This would have...
