The spell does not provide any illumination, unless you count outlining the target as "illuminating" it.

Actually, wizards can get a 2nd level spell at 1st level with only one feat: Precocious Apprentice.

If you were looking at War Hulk, keep in mind there is errata for it and Miniatures Handbook found at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mi/20031030x. Mostly it just clarifies that Mighty Swing is an attack action, not a standard action. Full attack several squares! And you can negate...

Flying (more specifically, winged) creatures can actually be tripped. The Rules Compendium has this to say on it: So you could trip a dragon up to one size category larger than you if it's flying. That's one of the nice things about using Bloodstorm Blade with Knockdown is you don't need to...

I guess I'll reply from the bottom up since I'm not very keen on multiquoting at the moment. I might warm up to it though. Never seen that Gun-Fu build before, but I'll take a look at it if only to get a nice laugh at how broken it might be. Even without aptitude cheese for the daze and...

Define "min/maxers" and "good games." There are plenty of groups that do have min/max players, and even the entire group can be made of them. Does that mean it's not a good game? Maybe for you, but the fact they're playing that way and likely enjoying it means chances are they think it's a...

Cyclone, I'm glad we can both agree on a few things, such as how bad that wiki is. (I won't even name it lest it come up in searches). Multiple classes might be an issue if the DM is one of those types that think multiple classes means munchkin or something similar. The DM might instead...

Every time we interpret the rules we must also think about their effect on the game itself and the campaign said rules might be introduced to. Regarding whether VS would allow casting a spell benefiting from a metamagic feat, that might be debatable but it does put a damper on the usefulness of...

"Fair" is in the eye of the beholder. LA +1 for a size and stat increase would likely be a no-brainer for most martial types. Consider the original Half-ogre in Savage Species was LA +1 for +6 strength, -2 dex, +2 con, -2 int, and -2 cha and Large size. It was updated to La +2 in Races of...

Is 3.5 stuff allowed? If so, there's the Ascetic Mage feat which might go into the Enlightened Fist PrC from Complete Arcane. Given how little I know of the Magus, I would think you could probably do something unarmed there if you really wanted.

That's not what I mean to say, or thought I typed to mean. In my opinion it's nonsense to ban one thing for a certain player but leave it open for others, because that does indeed show a greater problem. No, what I was trying to say is a DM has every right to ban certain parts of books for...

The problem is different people have different expectations of the game, not that the game itself is inherently flawed. That's not to say 3E doesn't have flaws, it's just that the group needs to agree on how they're going to handle those flaws. If some in the group disagree on what the flaws...

There is a third ACF used to allow for spontaneous casting: The Spontaneous Divination ACF found in Complete Champion, page 52. That one is compatible with either the Domain or Elven Generalist wizard variant, but of note is it can only be taken in place of a feat at 5th, 10th, 15th, or 20th...

Likewise, some players don't like feeling entirely useless because a DM allowed someone else to play something (could be something from ToB, could be comparing a core fighter to a core druid) that did indeed make the other character's efforts look irrelevant next to another's. Other players...

Something perhaps worth noting is that the Domain Wizard + Elven Generalist + Versatile Spellcaster combo isn't actually possible per a strict reading of the rules. As the Domain Wizard rules state: The elf wizard substitution levels can be found on page 157 of Races of the Wild. They say...

The absolute core of the Hood build above is Power Attack and if going for a Dragoon feel then add Leap Attack, perhaps with Shock Trooper's Heedless Charge maneuver or even Battle Jump if Forgotten Realms stuff is allowed. A list of further boosts to that include the Lion Spirit Totem ACF for...

I wouldn't put it past some nutjobs to try to play Pun-Pun, though probably not to his full power. Any DM with a spine would kill the idea immediately. Besides, I did say that Pun-Pun was an example of such rules interpretations that clearly break the game.

I would recommend you not hold everyone to be so precise with their words since their understanding and interpretation of their own language use could very well be different than your understanding and interpretation of it. Let people use relaxed language. These forums are not legal documents...

Merely understanding how the rules work (and don't work at times) is not munchkinism. Abusing the rules for one's own gain at the expense of others in the game is. Abuse of the rules does include using interpretations of rules that clearly break the game. Pun-Pun is the foremost example of...

The interpretation is that since the character can now cast 2nd level spells, it gets extra slots at 2nd level due to Elven Generalist and Domain Wizard, and the cycle continues from those two slots. However, even if it works in theory (big if there since the wording definitely isn't agreed...
