Just take one level of mindbender PrC, T&B. Telepathy :D of course you'd have to be multiclassed in an arcane spell-casting class... :p

*choke* just saw the thread, heck count me in. I love table-top, phil is great, and the gamers there are cool. Used to come up for 40K tourneys quite abit. I had no idea until today, so many gamers here in lawrence then on ENWorld? Impressive, incidentally does anyone in Lawrence realize we have...

Amen brother! Ashram, from Records of Lodoss War exemplifies what it means to be a LE Paladin. He champions that might makes right, and that the powerful should rule all with an iron fist. Honorable too, a good bad-guy as some NPC villains are described in DM advice columns. :p

Joe, Take a moment and step back from the game for a bit. Now, what prevents you from playing in other D&D games? Perhaps your DM might run a more rp orientated game with different players, perhaps he'll play with you in another game group. If you can then do so! Try to cherish the group you...

Not at the moment, though I will go and look. I do know however that the quote you cited Pielorinho refers to opposed skill checks, according to the PHB. Grapple checks are a different animal. Let me get back to you and I'll see what I can find (if anything ;) ) Cheers!

I believe this is correct. The opposed check SETS the DC for the action (grapple, escape, etc.) attempted. The Otyugh tries to grapple the wizard: -Wizard rolls grapple check, setting the DC the Otyugh needs to grapple. -Otyugh rolls grapple check and (as for ALL DC checks) must meet or beat...

I prefer random generation of ability scores as a player and DM. I enjoy the challenges that can be brought about for my character and the challenges brought about for the other players as well in the formation of a party of adventurers. (a mage and a thief who are both strong and capable may...

Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. For all we know, the Craft(alchemy) may only be allowed by certain classes in 3.5, so who knows? So eager to jump on the "3.5 screwed us" bandwagon? Take a number and join the crowd. I won't, I'm gonna wait and see...

Absolutely not (2). The rules are there to prevent abuse, allowing a charge under those circumstances would only allow further abuse by others and thus degrade the gaming experience (as per the reasons already given by other fellow posters). Nay, your fellow gamer has it all wrong and if he...

Unless the Harm spell was cast metamagicked with a Still Spell, spells with somatic components cannot be cast at all during a grapple. Only Verbal can be cast at penalty.

Reactive counterspelling feat would allow it, though he would lose an action in the next round. Derren I'd imagine an Archmage would have full control of his facilities (or else he wouldn't be an archmage hmm?) and can control their own special abilities. If he doesn't want to turn the spell...

Ack, you're right, I misread, heh, it is ranged attacks. During game play those are the same calls I've seen other DMs make too, makes sense when a dragon is chewing on a halfling, poor halfling :D

Well, the reading for circle kick as currently written allows a monk on a full-attack to make a second attack via circle kick with a successful unarmed attack. This means a monk with three attacks has the potential, with 3 successful unarmed attacks, a total of 6 attacks. I don't believe it...

I'm afraid so, taking the -20 eliminates the penalties of being in a grapple allowing her to otherwise fight normally but she is still in a "grapple" with her target. By definition this means her target retains dex bonus from her attacks, now other opponents however would be able to target her...

First, p. 138 PHB, the person grappled retains dex bonus versus the opponent they are grappling with. So that's a definate no on sneak attacks. I don't believe a roll needs to be made for the constrict ability. If the grapple is successful then the constrict damage is rolled immediately...

1st- magic missle, protection from evil, shield. protection from evil will protect you from evil things, all summoned creatures, as well as from mental control such as charm and suggestion. 2nd- eagle's splendor, endurance, daylight, see invisibility These spells are also nice choices, at...

Antikinesis has got it right. HIPS simply allows a SD to hide when under normal conditions he would not be able to. All other normal factors for the Hide skill remain in effect, unchanged. A Shadow creature is just that, a creature (undead that only look like shadows, as per their description)...

It can be alot of work and alot of trouble but the experience is a rewarding one. I've played a halfling paladin with a copper dragon mount and the roleplay experience was quite rich. Game balance-wise be sure the DM gives you all the benfits of having a dragon mount along with all the...

Hmm, sorry, but no sympathies here. It sounds like to me more of a case of poor sportmanship than a bad call. To be honest our game group had a player recently that acted like this (he brought in a PC concept from another game and was overly attached to it) and got a little too upset when...

Sweet! :D edit- thanks folks for putting up those quick links.
