    Item pricing and limitations

    Seems a fair way to do it. I would probably be inclined to do the same thing myself. It seems a little bad fluff wise, but sometimes you just have to make room for mechanics.

    Item pricing and limitations

    That seems slightly unfair, a punish the player type attitude. If they pay full price for the item, and sell it for less, for taking a perfectly viable option, seems a tad mean spirited. If the players pay full price to craft something, they should manage to sell it for full price also.

    Item pricing and limitations

    When we looked at this, we ruled that it is fair. You buy it for less and you sell it for less, so it is no more profitable, but how does it fit into the mechanics? Well lets say your fighter got a nifty +2 ring of deflection, and said to himself, to make it cheaper, he will make it fighter...

    Souping up a construct

    Well, polymorph offers spell resistance no... but it is polymorph, so I don't know how your group feels about that spell.

    Starting a campaign... Need some help.

    A take on it might be, that he is a chaotic evil cleric, that follows his own ideology. If they want ultimate power over everyone, then they likely wouldn't serve a god, but instead their own philosophy. What does a person who wants ultimate power crave, well in the D&D world one of the answers...

    Souping up a construct

    I know that I read both magic items and SU abilities work on spell immune creatures.

    Can intelligent undead read?

    Id exp you for your insight, but I have already exp'd you to recently, sorry. And they are most likly a cleric, possibly a wizard, either way they can change their entire spell list to suit the occasion. And their base will likely be a nightmare.

    Can intelligent undead read?

    That is a good method of doing it, I personally doubt my DM thought of using that method, but he may well have. That said, we are a party of 6 level 4's, who are very close to levelling, so level 5 when we get there. We will face who knows what challenges in his lair, to arrive against a fairly...

    Can intelligent undead read?

    The idea is, because undead are immune to non lethal damage, they wont take any damage from reading the rune. And I am going to order the wight to run up to the necromancer and read the runes, using the command undead spell. The plan is to make the wight invisible, cast silence on it, tell the...

    No full caster, Low Magic, High level fighting Undead... I need help.

    Yeah I get that, its the same as our DM. He hasn't officially banned shivering touch for example, but out of the same respect we don't use it. Something like dragoneye rune, or a permanent Rary’s telepathic bond could become vital. On one hand it removes the fear of being singled out a...

    Pricing an item

    Metamagic feats are priced differently as it says in the guidelines.

    Pricing an item

    The arms and equipment guide, page 128 has help with the rules. A general rule for non mechanical feats (like greater fortitude) is that they cost 10,000 gold +5,000 gp to 10000 gold per prerequisite.

    No full caster, Low Magic, High level fighting Undead... I need help.

    Infinite arrow wise, your in luck. I jot down my favourite items from dragon magazines so I can find them again. Quiver of plenty, dragon 328 page 65 It might be located in other sources. Not only does it give you infinite arrows, they can be cold iron or alchemal silver (or wood or steel...

    Can intelligent undead read?

    It can also be a map as far as I know, but I would write it in common, since then I can fit a lot in a small space.

    Can intelligent undead read?

    I was wandering, the undead should retain all abilities they had in life, so can an intelligent undead read? I Planned on making my wizard cast explosive runes with non-lethal substitution. This makes a wight (who our mystery foe rose 70 of) perfect for reading them. Afterall what necromancer...

    Souping up a construct

    The Skillful enchantment that makes you proficient with the weapon may be well applied to a weapon, probably a spiked chain, since he needs all the help he can get, but would mean you can get past a little bit more defence. Since each weapon you buy him will be an extra 8000 Gold for the...

    No full caster, Low Magic, High level fighting Undead... I need help.

    Sounds like a litch I remember reading about a while ago xD May want to be on the look out for litches with powerful undead existing. Especially if it is the result of magic doing this. Dont know if you want to take that into account?

    natural armor over deflection ac?

    A deflection bonus applies against touch attacks, while natural armour adds to your flatfooted AC Also because modifiers of different types stack, its obviously more beneficial to get low level version's of both than high level versions. Its more correct to say one is different as opposed to...

    D&D 3.x Aranea War Shaper (3.5)

    Persistent spell is 'a little' broken, but clerics are excelent combatants. And although easily considered broken in their own right, druids using wildshape make excellent combatants, and if you wish, are very capable healers.
