    Extra dimensional spaces and divination magic

    The creature runs out of air in 10 min. Put something with an Iridescent Ioun Stone and well they can stay in there as long as they want. I've often thought about having an assassin sneak out from under the characters noses by hiding in a bag of holding (under a non-magic aura) and having...

    Extra dimensional spaces and divination magic

    As the description for Rope Trick notes: "Creatures in the extradimensional space are hidden, beyond the reach of spells (including divinations), unless those spells work across planes." So I've always looked at it as divination spells only work across planes when they explicitly say they do...

    Extra dimensional spaces and divination magic

    Scry On a related question.... If you did Scry on an item within a bag of holding what would you see? I'm assuming you would only see the other stuff in the bag of holding, and not anything the bag itself or who is carrying it. Do you all agree?

    Round One is OVER

    Toughness It may be a good idea in say Star Wars d20 where they have wound point, but in D&D it is by far the most useless feat.

    Fighting DM Burn-Out

    Round Robbin DM I ran into DM burnout about a year ago... I had just about 4 years worth of campaigns as well as having a few stressful changes in my life (Got married, had a kid, changed jobs... The whole nine yards) and I was just exhausted from the weekly grind of having to get ready for...

    Caught between a Rock and a Hard Place

    Why not give the fighter to the player who runs the Psion? It normally doen't take all that much time to learn to use a fighter effectively. Particularly if he has been watching how the group works together for a while. If you would rather just remove the paladin, I would go about it this...

    What's the Deal with Staves?

    Nail I hate to disagree with you, but personally a Wand of Magic Missle is a must. Maybe it's just our campaign, but when you run into three or four fights in a single day it's not all that uncommon for my wizard to run out of attack spells in the last fight. Having one backup wand of magic...

    Simple Hold Person Question

    Thanks Calypso. That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure. It comes down to for every save you fail you lose one round. And KarinsDad that's exactly what I was using hold person for. We were talking about casting Hold Person on a rogue so that my arcane trickster could sneak attack...

    Simple Hold Person Question

    I have a simple question on the "Hold Person" spell... Per the SRD the under save for that spell it says: Saving Throw: Will negates; see text. Then the text says: Each round on its turn, the subject may attempt a new saving throw to end the effect. (This is a full-round action that does not...

    Help beef up mental stats

    We deal with this by doing our talking ourselves, but after the first major exchange of information we roll an opposed diplomacy check. That determines the attitude of whomever we are talking to. The GM then applies this to the general feeling of the NPC. We then have to work on his attitude...

    Wheel of Time

    I found the Wheel of Time almost 15 years ago. I think the Dragon Reborn was the "New book" way back then. As late as 10 years ago, I was recommending this series to everyone I met. But that was when the books were coming out every year or so. Then the time got longer and longer between books...

    Word Processor or Legal Pad?

    I typically do my adventure planning as I think of new cool Ideas. Once in a while I have a flash of inspiration while at my computer, but most of the time I'm sitting on the train, in my car or out taking my son for a walk, when I get the Wouldn't it be cool if.... Ideas. So it's just grab...

    Are Earth Elementals Blind in stone?

    If I was DMing I'd house rule this and give Earth Elementals the same vision I give people when they turn into fish... You can see as far as you have darkvision within Earth but going from earth to air makes things blurry. Think of how it looks when you are underwater in a pool and you try...

    High level 3.5 - tricks for keeping the numbers game quick and easy?

    We have found that you really have a couple of options to make these kind of fights go faster: 1) If your DM isn't doing it already, let the players do the math for their character. Don't make the DM calculate all the bonuses each player has... He/She has enough to do with just tracking the...

    Power Attack + Critical?

    Wait per the SRD: the number you subtract from your To Hit to add to damage, "may not exceed your base attack bonus. " Thus in the example above you can only use power attack for one point. So I thought the numbers would have to be First-level fighter, 13 STR, power-attacking for 1 point...

    Scrolls?

    Staffan, why does it take a day to scribe this scroll? Doesn't it only take 24 Minutes to scribe a first level scroll? I've never seen anywhere where it has a limit to the time it takes to scribe a scroll. Brew Potion has a lower time limit of one day, but not scribe a scroll. Now I could be...

    Help me kill Darmanicus & Friends!

    Black Columns Why not just make the black columns be concentrated negative energy. Each round that a creature comes within 20 or so feet of the columns (or after being hit by one) each creature: 1) Loses 1d6 HP. (Or is healed if they are undead) 2) Loses one "Buff" spell at random 3) Loses the...

    A bow and wands

    Not in our Game. We actually had this question come up in our game. In the end we couldn't find a rule that prevented it, but common sense told us that you could not do this. As we saw it holding a wand in your teeth would mess up the draw of the bow, and trying to hold it in the hand that...
