Maximizing Sneak Attack [3.5] What is the maximum number of sneak attack dice that a character can have by level 20? Rogue 20: 10d6 Rogue 15/Invisible Blade 5: 11d6 If there are two more prestige classes that give sneak attack at odd levels, we can get: Rogue 5/Invisible Blade 5/PrC1 5/PrC2...

Dispel Magic and Summon Monster I have a related question. Lets say you trigger a trap that casts summon monster V and create two celestial lions. You then cast dispel magic on one of the lions, targeting the summon monster V spell. You succeed with your dispel check and the summon monster V...

Fr I've got the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting and Player's Guide to Faerun. I've simply never found a need for yet another elf race or a billion new spells. Especially because magic users (arcane and divine) are something that I've only played in the last year or so. Perhaps it's time I...

Well... More accurately, no one in the group has bought it. So technically it could be available. -Gak Toid

Magic of Faerun I've noticed that several important spell selections have come from Magic of Faerun. Unfortunately, that book isn't available in our campaign. Can someone suggestion core spells to help replace those from Magic of Faerun? -Gak Toid

Fist of Raziel ability: SRD: Can a Fist of Raziel willingly suppress the Magic Circle? If the "protection against contact by summoned creatures ends" does this mean the Magic Circle has ended or just that aspect of it? If the Magic Circle ends because the Fist of Raziel "forces the barrier...

Body? Does the answer differ if you use raise dead on the actual body or if you use true resurrection without any body (or body parts)? -Gak Toid

What happens to spells made permanent with Permanency when the character dies and is raised? A) The spells cease functioning when the character dies. B) The spells will resume working after the character is raised. -Gak Toid

Thanks Thanks for all of the input. To those of you worried about our group, it's all good. The rogue's comment was in jest. The paladin...what can I say, he tends to overreact. -Gak Toid

Reason The reason I brought up the topic was because of the last session I played in. The important characters are: Lawful Good Paladin Chaotic Good Cleric - ME! Chaotic Neutral Rogue So we're in this tomb and kill a ghost. The rogue then wants to go rummaging through the sarcophagus looking...

Theft and Alignment Assumption: We are working in a generic D&D, black and white morality system. I'm interested in the D&D answer, not the real world one. Stealing is definitely not a Lawful act. But is stealing a Chaotic act? But is stealing an Evil act? -Gak Toid

metamagic Here's a list of all the metamagic feats I could find. empower +2 (variable, numeric effects) enlarge +1 (range of close, medium, or long) extend +1 (no concentration, instantaneous, or permanent) heighten +0 maximize +3 (variable, numeric effects) quicken +4 (no sorc) silent +1...

Metamagic Spell Trigger Is the metamagic spell trigger class ability completely useless or just mostly useless? First, it only applies to wands and staffs. Second, you have to have the appropriate item creation feat. It seems like item creation feats are pretty bad for a sorcerer, especially...

Spell Focus() One more question... What to spell focus in? As a sorcerer, I'm guessing the answer will be based upon what spells I pick. Evocation - Good Conjuration, Divination - Bad -Gak Toid

Sorcerer Well, he's still a work in progress...but feats are easy. Assuming non-human: 1) Sor 1 - Iron Will 3) Sor 3 - Metamagic (your choice) 6) Sor 6 - Skill Focus (spellcraft) 9) Sor 6/Inc 3 - Spell Focus (your choice) 12) Sor 6/Inc 6 - Spell Focus (your choice) 15) Sor 6/Inc 8/Arch 1 - ...

Prohibited School The hard part with the Incantatrix and Archmage is picking your prohibited school and still have spells from 5 schools in time to qualify for Archmage. Obviously I'll have to pick two schools to focus in. I hate picking schools to focus/prohibit. I can always find a spell in...

Yup. -Gak Toid

1) What are the favorite metamagic feats to take? Did you pick these because of power or flavor? 2) Sorcerer 6/Incantatrix 8/Archmage 2 - A worthy combination? I'm playing a sorcerer/incantatrix (pretty generic) and strongly considering the archmage. Primarly for mastery of elements and mastery...

I can't find this in the SRD, but I'm pretty sure that you only roll randomly when making a ranged attack. Melee attacks have no chance of hitting the wrong person in a grapple. -Gak Toid

Effective Character Level (ECL) = racial hit dice + level adjustment + class levels Character Level = ? Specifically, the Vow of Poverty refers to the "character level" for determining benefits. I would assume that "character level" = class level, but that would imply that a monstrous race...
