Personally I'd go wondrous item/ring with a Water Breathing spell, continuous or #/day to be effectively continuous. If at a level where you can't afford such a thing it can be provided by someone that can further the campaign in some way.

I believe that the rules changed 3.0 to 3.5. 3.0 allowed you to grab a regional feat with the 2 ranks* in a know:local skill if you were not from the region (I think that you could grab more than 1 regional feat as well). 3.5: You have to come from the region, and can have only 1 regional...

Baseball is probably a good example here (or any similar sport where a ball is thrown and someone else reacts). You are ready AND expecting the ball, but can be beaten to the punch by a faster than expected throw.* That is the flat footed state. * Tennis, squash, cricket, softball, some...

That statement has been show to be itself incorrect. This contradicts the first quote. So you COULD say that you will default to the first statement, and being shown that he is wrong, can't really argue over its power as that is not a Rules Argument but a Preference discussion. Since he was...

Is that where they got their gear from? ;) Is grave robbing such a problem in the campaign? Also, why would grave robbers care if it was Max's payment or not :p. I find that argument very weak (basically trying to screw over Max, and the mentor), and seems to be a method of keeping more $$ for...

Since we don't use VoP, or even the book it comes from a can only go on what I hear. It is a power boost for some classes more than others (monk and paly come to mind), but also creates a style requirement that you/your group may not like. I've heard others really like it. Take a suck it and...

My usual reply is to make the player provide you with the source of anything they want to use that is outside the sources that you are using (if a strait ban is not being enforced). Since becoming :uhoh: about these things someone not providing full details makes me think that they are trying...

My 1st thought is whether any PC can claim the fallen NPC's equipment as theirs or the party's. Admittedly for some it is a mute point. If the equipment was loaned by the PCs as part as part of hiring, then they can do as they like. If the equipment was the NPC's, then the more lawful and/or...

How I'd work it is (just be warned that creating items like this is more art than science): The +2 to the DC (untyped) is the biggie here. Of hand I'm not aware of anything that directly boosts the DC of spells. "Save bonus: other" has 2000 x bonus squared. I wouldn't go cheaper than this and...

Actually the +2 to the DC of any spell casts makes it usable pretty much all the time (assuming a caster wearing it).

:devil: advocate: It says animal companion no plural so only one can be affected. Main prob is that (PHB) initially you would only have one animal companion so no need to mention multiples. The only vague reference I can find to levels is: Extra Animal Companion: Other class levels in classes...

If the consequence for Good or Evil is all that matters, why would you not then make sure that the consequences of your actions are what you want them to be, Good or Evil? So make sure that the consequence of killing the OP's troll is good or evil (through this i've become unsure as to the...

(While someone can always find exceptions in these examples) I wonder about all the human/dwarf/gnoll/goblin slaves trapped in such a place being burned. A good being would to me at least think about that, and an evil one wouldn't. (And quoting you out of context somewhat): Would that be an...

To simulate this I'd make it more susceptible to poison gases with a negative modifier for that situation rather than for all FORT saves*. That way it still has endurance when needed but be susceptible to the gases. *Don't play Pathfinder so not sure if it is a viable option.

Maybe, but I'm thinking not. One of the traits of Lawful is honour, and striking down someone from behind that is helping you does not strike me as honourable. If "Usually CE" allows for Good trolls, then it becomes beholden on Good people to find out why the troll is apparently helping them...

I haven't been able to find the *Steppe Troll in a MM (World of Warcraft references only). My previous search had them labeled as Neutral but I'm having a google-weak day. Do we KNOW that the Steppe Troll is "usually CE" and not something else? MMIII Crystalline Trolls are usually CN and the...

You could try swarms or critters with DR. Negate his movement: grease, hold person, web, difficult terrain, height and reach weapons. (along the lines of other non-bash solutions) sinking boat, broken wheel on cart. When the PCs talk to people for whatever reason, have them ignore the...

Not everything is obvious at first glance in every encounter (at least I don't run it that way) because of... say, lighting, how bunched the orcs are, how bunched the PCs are, smoke, etc. Maybe staff wasn't the best qualifier, but I don't see why that should invalidate the process. Yes there...

This, if the DM & players are not on the same page then anything the DM tries that is not obviously a trap is a trap regardless and must be dealt with accordingly. I do consider the actions of the party not good. To me: This is evil action territory. Attacking something "known" not to be...

Charm does not change someone's nature as such, so even being seen seen as a trusted friend may not help you. Remember a lot of EVIL beings would happily sacrifice trusted friends if it suited their needs (if someone would sacrifice their mother how safe is a trusted friend?). Charm could allow...
