Here's a question for everyone: can a psionicist voluntarily 'pull' the area of their area affect spells, ie, if the power blasts everything within 40' of the psionicist, could they instead manifest the power to only do a 20' radius? 5'? I'm guessing the RAW would say 'No' as it could allow...

Need a spell capable of halting a group of 15th level chars for a minute while the BBEG spews off some speach -- heh. Suggestions? not_me

Thanks for the ideas. I was thinking of taking Crystal Shard as well as a good backup power. I'm a bit wary of taking Energy Ray for the purely meta-reason of gaining an obviously superior power at level 3, and thus rarely ever using Energy Ray again. Skate was one I looked at, but was...

Creating a character for a new campaign, and if the first session was any indication, there will be plenty of action. So, I'm thinking of what powers to take for the first couple of levels of Psion. The character isn't seen as a front-line-type person, and will be a kineticist. Level 1, the...

Just a question on everyone's experiences (harness the collective!). Now that some time has passed since 3.5 has arrived and players/DM's have had a chance to use the much-discussed Mystic Theurge, what is the latest concensus on them? How do they perform in a group, how to they stack up...

There are no questions here. You must be mistaken. 1 - What, if any, are the limitations on the Alarm spell? Will it go off if the area is traversed by an invisible creature? If placed outdoors, is it likely to go off every 5 minutes as a chipmunk passes through the area? 2 - Is there...

-bump- I take a) no idea or b) all in agreement about ants? not_me

A question on the Veil Spell -- another semi-ambiguous text... The ambiguity is as follows: you can make the subjects appear to be anything you wish. but just like the creatures the spell makes them resemble. Should that be taken, then, to mean that you can make the subjects appear to be...

Some good ideas indeed. I'd combed through the wondrous item section of the DMG, which is what brought this question to the fore. I was at a bit of a loss, but I do like the "whatever was he going to do with THAT?" aspect -- experience has shown that give the players a hint of a plot and...

So the time has come to equip the BBEGs with some gear. The usual arms and protective gear: check. Scrolls, potions: check. Misc Magic items: good question. What 'interesting' misc magic items, rings and the like do you like include on your lvl 10+ baddies? Stuff that makes sense for...

Ooops... I did mean a cleric of a diety concerned with undead -- though having some undead clerics (not the main dude) could be interesting later... :) I'll have to look up the true necromancer (which book again, is it in T&B), and the skeletal bodyguard is a nice touch, ditto with the...

(hmm, I guess that's a nice double entendre in the title for this post) The scenario: high-level campaign The problem: GM burnout on making some challenging and interesting villains The villains: several groups that have come together for this 'operation' The request: Ideas anyone has (or...

Thanks for the replies... and for the origin of "X,Y and Z oh my!" I hadn't really known either from where it orgininated. In keeping in the similar vein of thought -- Polymorph any Object states that it can duplicate the effects of "Polymorph (and other spells)". This would mean, I am...

Here is an interesting duo of questions. 1 - Polymorph works as does alter self, save that the possibilities for form change is greater. Say a sorcerer uses polymorph to change into a bird, and flies over his opponents. Unless the form is capable of intelligable speech, the sorcerer cannot...

Excellent. Thank you both! not_me

I'm pretty sure I saw this somewhere before, but I seem to have forgotten where, and the exact rules. IIRC, if one has an item (or a spell) that enhances a spellcasting stat, it must be worn or be active for 24h before one can benifit from the improved attribute score, be it for number of...

Much thanks for the reply! A slight follow-up... 2 - whoops, dunno how I missed that 3 - so by saying specific location, you'd need to have a general idea what the room looks like, or that its in the centre of the complex, or the like? If it's the latter, that may not be too hard to...

A few spell-related questions, if I may. 1 - Domain Spells (for a cleric) cannot be spontaneously cast as cure spells, correct? 2 - Any spontaneously cast cure spells (again from cleric) cannot be metamagiced on the fly, also correct? 3 - Does the Find the Path spell effectively make trapped...

Thanks for the replies. Good thing I checked, especially on the Wildshape question. More random questions later :P not_me

A few rule questions (appropriate in this forum, no?) 1 - Spells with Ranged Touch Attacks. From what I gather, there is _no_ range penalty, correct? So 5' to 500' is the same chance to hit? 2 - Druid Wildshape (3.5e), is it X hours per level. Is that X hours per DAY, or X hours per FORM...
