Doubt it's anything other than a house-rule, but my group has also rolled spot/listen checks after 30ft, depending upon which type of performance the bard is using.

Admiral's Bicorne (Stormwrack | pg 131). This 51,000gp item does four things. The first part is +5 Profession Sailor (depending on the game its either useless or ok). The second is +5 on all Cha based checks, including Leadership score. The third is the wearer's voice is magically amplified so...

Asshats being asshats You may find what you need here or here.

Correct for both. As I mentioned in my previous post, non-psionic casters do need some way to acquire psionic focus in order to make use of the Power Penetration feats, though if your other post about Mind Flayers is any indication, that won't be a problem for your situation.

When using the default Psionics-Magic Transparency rules (which I think is the only sane way to run psionics) you treat Power Resistance(PR) interchangeable with Spell Resistance(SR). Therefore, a character with Spell Penetration would have a +2 to overcome PR. So yes, you should allow the Third...

From the 3.5 Rules Compendium (pg 130.), "A creature's spell resistance never interferes with its own spells, items, or abilities." So spread some healing items around. If you feel you need to justify the item's presence, give a few of these clerics the appropriate crafting feats. As a DM in...

Without knowing the rest of your groups composition it is difficult to give accurate advice. There is also the factor of what type of situations your DM likes to throw at your party. Personally, my group generally only uses scroll out of combat and only for spells that are nice to have when you...

First off, I'd like to apologize if my post seems overly negative. Second, I enjoyed reading your class and tried to keep my own ideas on how to build such a class to a minimum. Ignoring that there is a hybrid class already named Hunter, you may wish to look at the psionics class Soulknife as...

Complete Warrior pg 154: Poleaxe, Heavy | 20g | 1d10 (s) | 2d6 (m) | x3 | 15 lb | Piercing or Slashing Reach and can be set against a charge. I don't know how many time I even forget these exotic weapons are in that book. When I first saw your post I knew I'd seen a poleaxe listed in official...

My apologies. It's been a good while since I've dealt with 3.5 and miss remembered the rulings on the spell Contingency. The spell itself has a range of Personal so you would have to cast it yourself from a scroll. In addition, the spell Sending would not be a valid choice for the attached...

In preparation for #3, you might want to find someone who can cast Contingency, Permanency and Sending for you. The three best options for triggering the Contingency are: [1] When you speak are particular word or phrase. Pros - If you tell the Blackguard about it, you hold a credible threat...

Yeah, profession seems to be almost completely ignored unless you allow it to supplement other skills. DC is difficulty check. The reason we increase it is to help prevent people from abusing this method of spending 1 skill point to gain access to multiple skills. There are several professions...

[1] Steal like a mothertruckerer. Really like a subplot in a book/show/movie; see if you can't re-fluff it to fit your campaign. See a really cool world/city map; use it. Find a picture that captures the essence of an important NPC you wanna introduce; show it to your players. Hell the first...

What level is the bard suppose to be? Did you already apply the racial ability changes; if so, why the 17 in Str instead of Cha? Personally I'd value Dex over Str unless you intend your bard to get into melee combat (Str = better melee hit/dmg & carry capacity; Dex = better range/spell hit, Ref...

It went great. One of my player stole their kid's night-lite after the session. The best of the bunch was the home-brewed monster that started off with goblin stats. {Phase 1} "This creature appear to be small human child until she steps into the light (> dim light). Any parts exposed to...

Thank you everyone. These suggesting came in just in time for me to squeeze them into tonight's game.

Ah. Thank you guys for your input. Guess I'll just have to skim the MMs.

I'm going to be running a mini campaign (3.5) shortly that is of the horror centric. My players and I are well versed in 3.x and pathfinder. We tried 4E and determined very early on it wasn't the flavor we wanted. Because of our lack of familiarity with 4E monsters, I figured stealing a variety...

Second on Craft Construct. In addition, getting Leadership whether or not your DM allows for assistance during the actual crafting of the magical items is a great boon. 1) Followers and/or cohort can be used to craft the masterwork weapons/armor quickly and cheaper than buy it off market. 2) If...

I'll be honest and didn't read the wall of text spell you posted. Putting that aside, remember that Emulating a Class Feature is a DC 20; Emulating a race is a DC 25; and Emulating an alignment is a DC 30. Imagine your players kill an officer of you BBEG and find a +2 Flaming Long sword. Sure...
