Since no one's mentioned it: Psychic Reformation (p127) seems ripe for abuse. What it does is let you re-pick feats, skill points and powers. It costs 50xp per level you have to go back to (so if a 10th level character wishes to change a feat selected at 6th level, it costs 200xp). This cost...

Heh! D&D's had mechanical lobsters since AD&D 1 at least: the Apparatus of Kwalish!

This is a great idea (I still have a 15 year old con module a friend [Rendarkin] made for 1st edition that was done this way. Vastly superior to any other technique!) However, if you want to do this, buy some letter-sized cardstock (Wal-mart seems to carry this in stock these days); most...

I'd do is count up the number of levels where at least one of your classes has a good Fort save, then add up all the levels where none of them do. Then use the table (3-1 in PHB) to look up what Fort save you get for each of those numbers, and add them together. Repeat for the other saves of...

I've never actually seen this done, but it really sounds like to me that in effect the tower is a magic item of Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion. (note that the effect is somewhat different in that you will probably have many windows and doors from the extradimensional space, rather than just...

Actually, I think they were actually an entirely new breed of troll, and were naturally (if that means anything for an evil pit-spawned creature) sunlight immune. The same as Uruk-hai, that weren't weakened by sunlight. I can't believe I forgot that he was a Black Numenorean. 100 years might...

The Nazgul should be the only servants of Sauron that just dropped dead when he did. Most everything else should be alive, unless they were slain in battle or crushed when Barad-dur fell down. Something I don't recall from the books is whether the other holdings of Sauron (the black gate and...

Well, I think I can almost match JesterPoet's worse: this was also a 10 years ago 2nd edition game. Highlights of the horror: -One player was playing a custom 2nd edition monk. Well, actually he was playing a human machine gun: through various rules abuses, he was able to let fly 80 shuriken...

That was recovered by Gandalf from the Mouth of Sauron. I think Sam ended up with it, actually--I'm pretty sure it's mentioned later, during the 'honoring the ringbearers' sequence. Gandalf might have taken this with him when he left middle earth. Or maybe not--he could have left it with someone...

Count me as a possibly. My hesitation is that I'd definitely want to see the style first; some Art styles aren't to my liking, even if they're well executed. But it certainly sounds like an interesting idea. I'm assuming this would be a for-pay kind of venture...so I'm also interested in knowing...

I'd just call it a short sword, and give it Slash damage type. For that matter, Short Swords as Piercing is debatable anyway; as I understood it, the Roman Gladius that's the model for the D&D short sword was probably used as a slashing weapon anyway (based on wear patterns). No need to...

IANABB/P, but there shouldn't be any serious limit. I have a Calculus Textbook, well-used from 10 years ago. It has just under 1200 pages and it's only a little shorter than the PHB. OTOH, the type of binidng matters for big books. The old 4th edition Champions book (the BBB) tended to come...

Well, not actually. You see, if the task you want can be done in 1 round/caster level or less (and using a spell-like ability 3 times would take only 3 rounds), it's an immediate task--you command them, they do it, no negotiations, no payment. If it takes longer, you've got to bargain with them...

Actually, if you gate in 2 Efreet (requires caster level 20 or above) you can get *6* wishes per 1000xp, for a +5 inherent bonus and a free magic item. And it's not even an evil spell (Efreet aren't [Evil] creatures).

That's actually reasonable IMO. An Epic single-class caster gains much less per-level than a non-epic single class caster; the same should be true of Epic MTs, lest they become the best epic caster.

I'd disagree on these, things like fine manipulation are just difficult, not really unplayable (I've long wanted to play dragons, a psionic tiger, and other oddities so the idea of a poor-manipulation creature doesn't bother me too much). In fact, all of the following should (IMO) have...

I've tested the Wiz/Sor PDF on my tablet, and it seems to work quite well! The only gotcha is that bookmarks seem to reset the zoom scaling up to 143%, which is bad. If I just use the hotlinks from the Spell list, it leaves it in my current zoom level. This is despite the fact that I told...

A different feature request! I just got my complimentary Wiz/Sor PDF -- and it's quite sweet! I'll definitely be keeping this on my tablet for game day! I'll probably be buying the whole set before too long. One question though: are their any spells in the PHB but not in the SRD at all? I...

Hmmm, in a city of ghouls I'd expect a lot of items crafted from bone (which they have in abundance) but very little leather/sinew (why waste good food to make stuff, anyway?). So: - jewelry: any number of wearable goods could be carved of bone - monuments: a complete set of anatomical...

Actually, it's much easier to track this than everyone is making it seem: Once you've been the target of this spell, you aren't eligible to be targeted again until after your next turn in the initiative sequence (regardless of whether you act then or not). This guarantees that you never benefit...
