Its really just a matter of play style. If you want a character who can plan around a specific challenge play a wizard. If you want a character who is the best at what they do and what they do is decimate enemies, then play a sorcerer. A wizard has more utility in different circumstances. If...

Besides throwing some acid flasks/alchemists' fire and running away. What are some creative non-magical ways to combat swarms? I've wondered about dropping a stone slab/door/tower shield... rolling a log over it... What about flying swarms? Would a thunderstone disrupt a bat swarm?

From the Main 3.5 FAQS: Does an ethereal object block force spells cast against targets on the Material Plane? If force spells affect incorporeal creatures, and stuff on the Ethereal Plane is incorporeal on the Material Plane, doesn’t an ethereal wall get in the way? If so, does it get in the...

My arguement wasn't on AC equivalents, but coverage equivalent. AC 4 also equals Scale Mail: "The suit includes gauntlets."

I'm sorry, I don't see a balance issue. Ghost Touch is only a +1 add on for a weapon, so is Defending; which uses a first level spell (Shield or Shield of Faith) for it's prerequisite {yes I'm aware of the absurd prereq for Ghost Touch}. And again, its an "unarmed strike" which a majority of PC...

the single most used spell my sorcerers/wizards use is glitterdust. If the enemy fails his Will save, then the rogue will destroy it with sneak attacks. I used it on a pair of Hellcats and quickly turned the tables on them.

I didn't say that Mage Armor effected a held weapon, just that it would overlap the beneficiary's hands just as a gauntlet would... From the description of incorporeal subtype: "Even when hit by spells or magic weapons, it has a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source (except...

I appreciate the input. Too many video games just show you sticking things in invisible pockets or having items hovering over your back, and pulling a weapon out of your pack would most likely involve other items falling out and breaking if you were in a hurry (such as in 6 seconds of combat...

#1 if the breastplate came with gauntlets (which it doesn't) then an adamantine breastplate would come with adamantine gauntlets that would provide adamantine to its unarmed attack. And apparently I put ethereal opponents instead of incorporeal opponents (shadows, allips, etc). Sorry about...

I know swords, daggers, and other bladed weapons use sheaths, but how about battleaxes, flails, war hammers, etc. Other than "stow it in the backpack", how would a PC keep a backup weapon other than a bladed weapon comfortably on their persons? I can see maybe a ring or loop that a battle axe...

This has probably been asked before, if so I'm sorry for the repeat. My question: If a monk drinks a potion of "Mage Armor" would this allow him to strike an ethereal opponent as though "Ghost Touch"? Something not specified by Mage Armor is the shape of the armor. Is it an egg shaped force...

Thanks for the input. Yeah 300 gp is about what I was looking at too. I was thinking that for balance (multiple shots per round) that it could only affect the target. I learned from doing a dungeon crawl a while back that glitterdust is a rogue's best friend.

Hi Guys I wanted your input on how much a Magic Arrows that explodes in glitterdust would cost. Please provide your methodology as well. I tried to break down the sleep arrow from DMG but the numbers kept coming out wrong. I have a Human Fighter/Rogue build and wanted to make use of ranged...
