Rather than think about power, what you should do in an RPG is create a character. Then think what would this character do, then pick a class that fits that. Not the other way around. I got a Druid riding his animal companion that picked Mounted Combat cause he cares about his companion and...

I looked it up again and the minimum level for prestige class access is 5th indeed, not 6th (DMG2, page 205). Oddly that page gives the Assasin as an example class available at 5th level, even though its available at 6th. As for Anyspell, if I want to go really literal, the requirement is...

I understand why one would not allow non-core classes, but a any DM should at least be able to handle the core classes. Unless there is some reason to the campaigns story why monks don't exist (similar to how Sorcerers might not exist in a low-magic campaign) I don't get why they should be...

Clerics of Boccob can't choose the War domain. Even if they could, the domain would grant proficiency with the quarterstaff which you already have. Since Boccob only has three domains, it's more about which you don't pick than which you do pick, since Trickery gives you the most benefits that...

I do this with characters of games that have been abandoned completely. Or even with characters that never even made it in any game. So it goes without saying for characters that are between session. Some characters I played in past games I still have the sheets from, simply cause they were...

Put it to bed, subtle indeed. And this thread may be titled "Where do babies come from?" but I haven't actually seen any babies in any campaign I've been part of.

The sleep spell specifically says creatures are affected from lowest to highest HD and only when HD is tied the closest is affected. Turning says creatures are affected from closest to furthest, and when tied for range the lowest HD is affected. Turning also specifies that turned creatures can...

And the Tarrasque?

This is the best I've found while using the formulas provided... It's somewhere between a wand and staff in function. Wand price: 375*1*1=375 Staff price: 375*8*1=3000 Average of those two: (300+375)/2=1662.5 Multiply by 2 for being infinitely usable: 1662.5*2=3325 Divide by 5 for being limited...

Don't forget that wands are spell-trigger items. So only Rangers (assuming you're not using a spell-less ranger variant), Sorcerers and Wizards (of any level) can use them. A potion of darkvision can be used by any corporeal character but is one-use and provokes attacks of opportunity (something...

Quick question but I can't find the answer anywhere in the book. Let's assume an ecounter with three undead. Undead 1 is 2HD and standing at 10 feet distance. Undead 2 is 5HD and standing at 10 feet distance. Undead 3 is 2HD and standing at 20 feet distance. The party cleric is level 1 with...

I think my DM has created a real freak of nature item then. It has the minimum caster level of a wand. It has the maximum caster level of a staff. But it's powers are otherwise more similar to a rod I think yes, I always overlook the rods' existence, are there rods that grant feats, cause...

Why a river, they have absolutely no relation to rivers, or water even. I do like the idea that Fey are the Elementals and Outsiders of the Material Plane.

Not hiding could equal, no ranks or synergy used, DEX = 0 and just size modifiers. That would be DC 1 for a large creature, DC 5 for a medium creature, DC 9 for a small one, etc. Cragtop archer has -1 per 20 feet. Let's assume 15 ranks and a +1 wisdom modifier. Taking 10 would then allow seeing...

Lycans don't even have darkvision either.

They have breasts so they don't lay eggs. Although in world of magic this logic might not work. Actually there are a few animals in the real world where it does not apply, I think the platypodes are an example. Seahorse are complicated, the females lay eggs, then the males absorb those eggs and...

The item is actually part of some loot. Our DM just makes stuff up, my wolf has a collar that allows it to know 3 more tricks than usual and to cast speak with owner 1/day. I was trying to estimate what the value of me equipment is to see if it was around the value I should have at my level...

I looked in the DMG, but it only presents rules for staffs with limited use charges, not for those that have 1/day usage as far as I can see. Nor for a staff that has no caster level of its own.

Constructs, dragons, elementals, magical beasts, monstrous humanoids, outsiders and undead all have darkvision. The following templates are some examples from the Monster Manual. Celestial creatures have LA +2 Fiendish creatures have LA +2 Ghosts have LA +5 Half-Celestials have LA +3...

The first merfolk in classic Greek myths had normal fiddly bits. They were male though. I'd say the face is the most important part in those pictures. Not sure if there is a picture to demonstrate the difference in importance between boobs and face though. I thought of this as well...
