Nope. IIRC, a weapon is considered epic if it has a general +6 enhancement to attack and damage on it (hm, at least I'd rule it so). Gating in solars will cost the caster 1000 XP in most cases ;)

Good point, Frank. I'll talk to the player about NWC...his wizard may get the spell after he battled a Red Wizard :D Back to topic (and one thing I remembered...). The party (level 17) recently encountered two undead balors (still using all their abilities except vorpal swords) and a cleric...

Oh, I didn't realized that. But OTOH, there is a move-equivalent action term. If viewed from that point, movement could be taken as an action... :) *LOL* Yap, if you want to go so far. But as FoM works only on creatures (not on corpses...), a moving PC with -54 HP and FoM is quite unlikely to...

Stun condition: No actions, creature drops everything it holds, Dex-penalty (4 ?). Depends on your FoM interpretation. I'd say it does. Moving is an action. FoM allows to move and attack normally, this excludes spellcasting, IMO. If a creature can't take actions, it can't move, since moving...

Hmm, FoM includes protection against magical non-physical impediment (paralysis by Hold Person) as well as physical impediment (Web, Entangle, Grapple). Daze condition: No actions. FoM: Move and attack normally. Well, one could imply that a creature warded by FoM and struck by NWC still could...

On a first glance, it seems to be clear: Freedom of Movement works fine against daze effects: In MoF is a nasty level 8 spell from Thay, named Nybor's Wrathful Castigation. If the target fails its save, it is killed, if not, it is dazed for the duration of the spell (1 round per caster level)...

3.5, although I'm inclined only to allow rings, amulets and perhaps cloaks to be worn by some animal forms. An ape is the only exception because of its human-like body.

Granted. IF the druid has such fine things (mine has not, unfortunately :( ) and IF the DM allows that a RoP / bracers of X / ... works fine with WS. Sure it is possible, but not every DM would agree unless a clear rule is at hand. I'm in doubt that the DM would allow an additional splat book...

Fine. Er, I suppose, it's somwehere stated in the DMG? So, my druid (who is extremely underequipped at level 17) could wear a bandolier of AC +6 when fighting as an air elemental. Or the bandolier, bracers of health, a ring or two and an amulet when fighting as a dire bear. ppo: I agree to your...

Do you have access to the MotW splat book? If yes, use the wild shape version printed there (the examples for WS included). You won't have problems with attacks, Animal Growth and polymorphed equipment anymore. It's easy and balanced. The druid gets the extraordinary abilities of the animal form...

Ok, here it goes... As we know, Wild Shape is linked to Polymorph. Which is linked to Alter Self. Which is linked...oh, stop here... Now a few examples for WS and worn items: 1) A dire ape druid can still wield a weapon (because an ape has human-like hands), a shield, bracers, amulet, cloak...

The wizards used a wide range of their spells (e.g. different energy types) to find out the golem's immunities. As I said, this was a special iron golem with keen wounding weapons and possibly more hit points as a normal one. It was quickly clear that the melee-guys need an adamtine weapon to...

I agree on that, and its quite true that the power of a fighter, barabarian, ranger or paladin depends on how good the team work within a party is. But here lies a part of the problem I have: The fighter (and the barbarian too) needs team work, the paladin and the ranger to a lesser degree, to...

Right. Bane is dead. Well, at least until 1372 DR... Torm...hmm, he is SO lawful, ah, no, I prefer the free way of life and faith. Ever heard of Mielikki?

Sure, for the whole party it was easy to hack that golem into bits. My problem is: the druid could have done it alone as well. Golems are immune to most spells, so the two wizards couldn't harm it. It has DR 15/adamantine, the cleric and the paladin have no adamantine weapons (the cleric has a...

I played a Clr/Wiz of Mystra, but it wasn't fun at all. After he was killed by some drow, I now play an elven rog/asn/wiz who refused to have a patron deity at all (which is quite dangerous on Faerûn, because faithless souls will be punished by being put into the wall of souls around the City of...

Polymorph other is a D&D 3.0 spell. It doesn't exist in 3.5 anymore, AFAIK. Take a fighter level 12 and a druid level 12, both have no friendly wizzie or cleric to buff them, only their own abilities. It is very likely that the druid outmatches the fighter, either by spells or via wild shape...

No, it allows SR. AFAIK, an iron golem is immune to all spells that allow SR, with a very few exceptions (fire and electricity spells). See Animal Growth. It grants DR 10/magic, +4 resistance to saves, +4 size bonus to CON, +8 size bonus to STR, -2 size penalty to DEX, +2 natural armor bonus...

I completely agree on that. But the rules are contradictory here: The PHB (Polymorph) says that the type changes, but INT, WIS and CHA don't. The MM says that an animal can't have INT above 2. According to the new errata for the PHB and the "First/Second Source" ruling from WotC the PHB is...

Right. But imagine a sword- (or axe) wielding fighter attacked by an animal-growthed dire bear druid. The poor fighter is grappled on the first attack in most cases. His only choice are light weapons (dagger or short sword), which don't deal much damage. The fighter's AC is nearly worthless...
