    Help with Skillmonkey

    I'm not sure if it fits your ideas, but take a look at the Master base class from the "War of the Lance" Dragonlance book. It focusses on (one or two of ) the four skill-groups Craft,Perform,Profession and Knowledge, and grants various skill-related bonusses as class abilities, as well as...

    Can non-touch spells be "held"?

    No, it isn't. Enlarge Person has a 1 round casting time. While the wizard is casting it, the Fighter moves out of range. This has nothing to do with initiative order.

    1st level adventures

    I recently downloaded Goblin's Tooth I from Dragonsfoot - Dragonsfoot Publications It's an AD&D adventure, but you can easily replace the monsters with the 3rd edition versions. I haven't gotten around to play it yet, but it looks like an interesting module.

    Looking for low-magic, celtic (starting) adventures

    I'm preparing to start a Celtic fantasy setting, and I'm looking for some adventures to run. I'm mostly looking for free adventures, but suggestions for ones I have to buy are welcome too. The adventures should fit into a very low-magic, low-fantasy setting (no dragons, hordes of undead...

    Is it possible to flank when....?

    Note the differences between flanking using the standard d20 rules and flanking using the optional facing rules: using the standard rules, flanking someone means having an ally threatening the same opponent from a square opposite the square you occupy. You get a +2 bonus to attack rolls, and...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Magic Items To Gift My Players Tomorrow!

    As an aside, if you're worried about slowing down combat because of the wild shapes options, I suggest taking a look at the Player Handbook II wildshape option for druid. It's more managable (gives simple bonusses abilities and a very limited set of options) so might be more to your (and the...

    Precision damage such as SA and penalties

    Are you using weapons suboptimal if you play a Tier 4 class? Are you using weapons suboptimal if you didn't take weapon focus and weapon specialization? Are you using weapons suboptimal if you are using a shield and/or armor you didn't take a proficiency in (resulting in the ACP being...

    The morality of Summon Familiar

    Celebrim: First off, 'modern' has nothing to do with this. Yes, historically, slavery (or indentured servitude) was an accepted part of society. That does NOT mean, however, that everyone was happy about it. (as a sidenote, I should mention the various characters mainly wanted to get the...

    The morality of Summon Familiar

    This came up in our session yesterday. Background info: we have a Wizard with the Improved Familiar feat who has summoned a fire mephit. The Fire Mephit is being played by the wizard's player's wife. Yesterday, the Fire Mephit started to complain against one of the other characters (a...

    Medium Armor: Why?

    I've recently taken an interest in the various armors available for D&D, and ran into something I just can't wrap my head around. If you are limited to light armor, you have a range of options to choose from. The various armor's start with a +1 AC, with a max dex bonus of +8, and rangue up to...

    D&D 3.x D&D 3.5: Rewards for DM?

    How about a player that writes very detailed background stories, but gets mad if the DM actually does anything with it? Who doesn't make ANY choice regardless of the options presented and gets mad if making no choice at all has consequences? (sorry for the rant. have to blow of some steam...

    D&D 3.x D&D 3.5: Rewards for DM?

    Your reward? To know your player's characters crushed, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their men/women. :) To see the look on the player's faces when they realize this is the grand finale you have been working towards for the last X years of gaming. And my...

    Persistent Spell: is it worth it?

    Maybe I should ask a different question: WHICH spells are worth it? And Righteous Might is a 5th level spell, so can ONLY be used in combination with Persistent Spell when using divine metamagic or something similar. (and since I'm mostly asking this for arcane spells, I asked for no divine...

    Persistent Spell: is it worth it?

    I've started various builds with the intention of including Persistent Spell somewhere along the way, most of the time to have (a) certain buff(s) like Gravestrike available 24 hours a day. Most recently, I was trying to get both Hunter's Eye and Sniper's Shot Persisted, to have lots of Sneak...

    The cost of diamonds

    Are you asking real or D&D references? Since REAL diamonds become more expensive as their weight increases (as in, more than linear) a 'weight to price' for diamonds doesn't exist. (see also Diamond Size: carat weight and price) What you COULD do is select a typical diamond (not too common...

    Done with the hard copy

    IIRC, WotC withdrew their pdf versions some time ago. Most probably because they were sold rarely (being the same price or higher than the hardcover versions) and if they were sold, were subsequently made available for illegal download quite often.
