    starlight

    Because starlight is just referring to the amount of illumination from the sky. There are other factors that must be taken into consideration: terrain, other light sources, structures, etc. It's entirely dependant on the situation and, therefore, the DM. If a human is allowed to see 30ft in...

    any help for a winpy wizzard?

    As a necromancer, you should almost constantly be surrounded by your undead minions. This makes it nearly impossible for your mage to get caught in melee. Barring that, use Globe of Invulnerability when you see an enemy caster, Evard's Black Tentacles against mass groups, Dimension Door for...

    I need some feat suggestions for a non wildshaping druid

    Augment Summoning from the PHb is a great feat for a Druid. I'm not familiar with Eberron at all, you don't lose the ability to spontaneously cast SNA do you? Greenbound Summoning is from LEoF and it turns all your animal summons into plants, by applying the Greenbound template to them...

    Optimal Urban Ranger Build

    Would you be trying to focus entirely on Undead Hunting? There is the Hunter of the Dead Prc from Complete Warrior, but that requires you to be able to Turn undead so you'd probably want Paladin 4 or Cleric 1. There's also the Bloodhound Prc from Complete Adventurer if you're interested in the...

    LA + Reincarnate = Whaaa?

    From the SRD (bolding mine): I'd say that LA is an feature of the race and since you're no longer that race, you lose the LA. Your experience total is set to half-way between level 4 and 5. This is how I interpret it at least. either way...just my 2 cp

    Inspire Courage Optimization

    Harmony (PGtF) is a Bard 1 that increases the morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects by 2 and the morale bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls by 1. Dread Pirates gain an ability at 6th or 7th that do something similar to Inspire Courage, but I'm not sure if it stacks or...

    Is Whirling Frenzy balanced against Rage?

    Would you not allow a Hasted Monk to gain two additional attacks while Flurrying?

    Dwarven Monk, Dwarven Defender

    To be honest, I meant to type Pal 2, but I was perusing several fighter threads at the time...I guess you could grab the Spring Attack tree, or even go for Whirlwind attack. Though they're rather counterproductive when considering the lack of mobility generated via Dwarven Defender. Also...

    How can I get divine grace as a cleric?

    Paladins do make pretty crappy undead turners, but amazing undead smashers. Use your Turn Undead attempts to fuel Divine feats like Divine Might, Divine Shield, Divine Vigor, and Sacred Healing. To answer the title's question, Charisma to saving throws can be achieved many different ways...

    Looking for a monster

    There's teh Grimalkin from MM 2. It isn't Fey or Undead, it's a shapechanger that typically appears as a housecat. That's the only one that comes to mind that may be what you're referring to. Either way...just my 2 cp

    D&D 3.x Mixing 3.0 and 3.5

    Converting Damage Reduction has always been a pain for me. I have heard of a conversion chart somewhere, but have been unable to locate it. As for Oriental Adventures in 3.5, just remember the update to the relationship between Monk unarmed attack progression and BAB. Other than that there...

    Dwarven Monk, Dwarven Defender

    If you're bent on Monk/DwD, I'd suggest Monk 8/Ftr 2/DwD 10. However, I agree with FalcWP about it being a mechanically weaker choice. Either way...just my 2 cp

    Strand of prayer beads funny business

    I seriously hope you're joking about the Cleric and Druid being weak...I can't tell. I haven't seen it updated in any newer source, nor is there any errata for it. However, as a DM, I'd say the final pricings listed are a misprint and just go by the -x gp to determine the value of the...

    Hallucinogens - Rules for Poisons

    Since I can't seem to find where I put my BoVD, I'll just ask; doesn't the Book of Vile Darkness detail such things?

    Cleric spells

    Tjeck out the Book of Exalted Deeds for some amazing buff spells (if it's allowed, of course). On the offensive front, I like Cometfall, Blade Barrier, Dragon Breath, and good ol' Flamestrike. Energy Vortex provides an interesting PBAoE. Through savvy domain selection one can get access to...

    Old or Venerable Creatures

    If it is a physical creature, I'd drop it's CR by one for each age category after middle-aged. I would like to see how you are determining the typical lifespan for most of the creatures in the MM. Exactly how old is a venerable Elasmosaurus?

    What should I take instead of Turn Undead?

    The Planar Banishment variant allows to Cleric to turn outsiders instead of undead. Either way...just my 2 cp

    Is Whirling Frenzy balanced against Rage?

    It's definitely balanced, but appears to be quite a bit more powerful if the character is only planning on dipping into Barbarian. If the career path includes all 20 levels of Barb, I'd go with normal rage. The bonus to Con and Indomitable Will easily make up for the extra attack, IMO. Haste...

    Cleric spells

    :confused: I can think of a massive list of "worthwhile" spells from those sources: Divine Favor, Shield of Faith, Silence, Animate Dead, Dispel Magic, Magic Vestment, Death Ward, Greater Magic Weapon, and Righteous Might just to name a few off the top of my head. Other than Righteous Wrath of...
