    D&D 3E/3.5 Vote for your favorite core Class!!! (3.5)

    i respectfully disagree. srd is the updated core. while core may have been originally the three books listed, once the srd came out, that is core. we can leave it as my opinion if that does not seem to fit for you. edit: that's srd as in downloaded from wotc's site.

    It's Time To Duel!

    one could reduce the mad of this build somewhat by using carmandine monk, or kungfu genius. while a paladin would boost the saves via cha, a wilder would directly boost the touch ac instead. insightful reflexes would also be humorous to grant int to reflex.

    touch attacks and rays

    that crossbow that holds two wands ready to use is perhaps handy for such a build.

    Don't let the sword hit you on the way out!

    seems like if someone is entering a threatened space, they are likely aware of that fact and are more on guard, thus less likely to provoke. moving past someone to get at another foe is much more likely to give an unintended opening in the defenses. try tumble instead.

    Help with turning undead

    just be sure to make spawns which can then in turn create and control their own spawns. if you control their controller you can effectively control them, which can quickly put you "effectively" above that 360 limit.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Vote for your favorite core Class!!! (3.5)

    missing quite a few core classes there. i look through the srd and note my favorite is listed there, but not on the list in this thread. ^^ i abstain.

    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D 3.5: Harvesting Dragonhide

    all references i note dealing with dragonhide being made into armor (dmg, draconomicon) use armor-crafting as the skill referenced. I would adjudicate that either survival or craft armor would work for the purpose.

    Grapple/Odopi Question

    don't forget the feat that reduces the penalties for grappling multiple foes, in draconomicon, iirc.

    Race/plane with no magic?

    in the greyhawk setting (the default for 3.x) there are actually 7 prime material planes. oerth (the world greyhawk is located upon) is the fifth from the left (more magical than all but two), with the leftmost being non-magical, and the rightmost being the complete opposite. incidentally, the...

    Rules/Rolls for Running a Shop

    in response to your comments, i've always handled it via rp. i recall one time that our characters were tasked with guarding a merchant caravan on a risky route. sure enough we were attacked numerous times. my character has several notable traits, one of which is hating wastefulness. so she...

    Saving throw question

    the net does not get the benefit of the warriors saving throw. it is "held" or "controlled" by another. the fact that the net is holding/touching the warrior is simply a special property of the net, which has no affect on saving throws whatsoever. the net would get the benefit of that...

    Rules/Rolls for Running a Shop

    the simplest rule is to use the one that already exists. Craft :: d20srd.org Profession :: d20srd.org you make half your check a week minus expenses. it does not matter if you are a specialty store selling magic items or not, that is the rule for running a shop. if you produce an item, it is...

    Multiclassing is for the weak.

    i would like to respectfully disagree. it may only be my personal playing style, but i pick a particular concept i want to play, only to find it does not exist in d&d. so i take a number of this and that and the other and patchwork it together. my result is a chimera of base and acf and...

    The Limit of Challenge as Level Approaches Infiinity

    a) except against ghost touch and similar abilities. b) except against wilders. c) or monks and at least one other off the top of my head. ... excellent points in all. i like the questions you pose. concerning the cube... there is a simple way to up the movement rate as you suggest. give...

    Tristalt - What would you build?

    hmmm, feytouched for race, i think, since they have a level breakdown; only take the base race, not the la level. sorcerer plus paladin and wilder. leadership. use selectively persisted mental pinnacle and metaconcert with cohorts and followers to boost the pp and powers known when needed. also...

    Why EXP penalty for Multiclassing anyway?

    you are probably correct. it has been ages since i actually read anything but adventures from that edition, and that was all from memory. ^^ one per sentence, eh? wow. impressive record even for me and my hit-or-miss memory. =D then again, that may have just been how i learned it from my dms...

    Why EXP penalty for Multiclassing anyway?

    The answer to this has its roots in the early era of roleplaying. It was assumed by the creators that characters spend a certain amount of 'downtime' each day. This downtime did not include the sleep period. The downtime was the time used to practice weapon forms and do various exercises, study...

    Sentient weapons

    nice gap in response time. so i will add my thoughts. given the listed beings capable of it, all of them are explicitly post-epic. therefore, it would require an epic level spell, or as an alternative possibly a salient divine ability in order to pull off the trick.

    WotC has begun deleting old website articles (3.x and previous...)

    Update to archive project: The archive continues to be updated, it is now in v1.2. I need to get this version uploaded somewhere, and would actually like to get it torrented if possible. I do not have a host site currently, so I am open to good suggestions (perhaps a bit more user friendly...
