My group has successfully used the "DM rolls at the same time, higher number is kept" method for quite some time. Everyone rolls in front of everyone else, and the player doesn't feel cheated because the chances of both the DM and player rolling a "1" are pretty slim.

Great job! Enjoying this more and more! Keep it up.

Huh. You know, now that I read the MM spell I guess I have to agree with Lord Pendragon. It merely says that the dart springs forth from the caster's hand to unerringly strike the target. It doesn't say anything about going around things to get to the target. We've pretty much always played that...

That's a good question. I've always let the Periapt give the bonus spells, simply because it doesn't say that you don't get them. The spell specifically states that you don't. *shrugs* I'd be interested in hearing how other DM's rule on that.

RigaMortus, in the example you gave, then yeah, I can see how the spell would be put into effect. My example is a bit different though. There is no way for the spell to be cast around or through the wall or window, since the target is inside of a room. Even though the wizard can see the...

Yeah, now that I read the line of effect rules, it states that any solid object blocks line of effect. So, even though the window is transparent, it still blocks the LoE. Even though they could throw a brick through the window, it stops the spell cold. Odd in a way, but still RAW.

As far as I know, you get whichever bonus is higher, and they do not stack.

I am currently running a game where a mage wants to cast a "Sleep" spell through a window. The window is closed. Does this mean that he does not have a line of effect to those inside the room, even though he can see them clearly and there is no actual spell mechanic going through the window...

Excellent Story Hour! It has taken me a few days to read everything, but I have relished every minute of it. Keep up the good work, SJ! This story is very well-written abd simply rife with ideas.

The caster would still have those ten points of damage, and X minutes of duration would be used off of his Mage Armor. Eh, as I've stated, it's really just an NPC spell. Still, if a PC wants to take it, that's fine. It isn't meant to be a very good choice for a PC though, thus I should never...

Ok, here's how the spell works: Caster throws the above mentioned water balloon, soaking a guard and upsetting him very much. The guard sees him in the second story window of the inn and heads that way, intent on giving the caster a good thrashing. The caster, only having one spell left for the...

Well, at least so far this is an NPC only Prestige Class spell/ability. Now, that could obviously change in the future, but not for quite some time, as the group is only 1st level currently. This is just an NPC that they've just begun to interact with. The material component is powdered...

Ok, I've made a custom Prestige Class that I've rather mundanely named "Chronomancer". The basic abilities of the class are still just in my head, and is meant to be an NPC only class. I've come up with a spell for the class that I'm not sure is overpowered and/or what level it should be. Any...

Very cool! I like what you've done.

Oh, it's something! I really liked it. I've never actually played the Eberron setting, but still got a pretty good idea of what it is like from your writing. I think that's a very good thing, since it means that even people who have no idea what it is about can still understand and...

September '74 Represent!

Sorry! You have my thanks by the way. :) I'll get in contact with you.

Ah! I see. Thanks Crothian! I think I'll follow the suggestion of letting them build them as if I instituted it at 1st level. They just reached second, so it shouldn't be a huge switch.

I think I'd like to hop on the question bandwagon too! Does gestalt have to be initiated at 1st level? I just had my group attain 2nd level, and was thinking of instituting gestalt. Is that possible? And I saw somebody mention monks and paladins. How do the rules affect them? I know they have...

Oh. My. Goodness. Exceptionally well done! You captured his essence perfectly. You know, I'd never thought of it as Goth, but you're right. Heh. Well done!
