For the record then, if we're getting hung up about the word "all," should we be getting equally hung up about "his?" I suppose next we'll hear that it works for arcane or divine spells, but only for male casters, since it says "his" and not "his or hers." For Pete's sake, it's clear what the...

This is a ludricrous argument. It is firmly in two camps. Those who choose to read the rules in a way that makes sense given the nature of the item and is in balance with the power it provides (i.e. that it only works for divine spells), and munchkins, who are trying to abuse what they consider...

The Sage advice and I (for once) agree on natural attacks and BAB. (...I really didn't mean to make that rhyme in iambic pentameter...) A monster with a sufficiently high BAB (at least +6) can use one of its natural weapons with the iterative bonus instead of using the rest of their attacks. So...

In my experience it is best to limit what can be worn to things that only fit a "gross anatomy" a bracer goes over a forearm, a cloak on the back around a neck, etc. A ring, on the other hand, would obviously require fingers, not talons, paws, flippers or any other sort of appendage. It is, by...

Just remember that those two fighter bonus feats have to come from the fighter bonus feats list--they can't be just any feat. It's not much of a restriction, but be aware of it if you're hoping to use some of the newer feats from the Complete series.

This is exactly what I was going to say. The only thing I'll add is that you can still fire ranged weapons while entangled, albeit at a penalty. So the high Reflex people will be out the first round and the high Strength/Escape Artist people will be out the next. Who's left? Generally...

Plus even with 20% Concealment, your Rogue can still hide to make Sneak Attacks. He just has to make that check first. Heck, you could make an argument that the rules for "Sniping" (Ranged Attack, immediate re-hide at -20) would apply to Eldritch Blast as well, but that's kind of a stretch.

Have you actually seen a Raptoran in play? I didn't think so. I have two in my current campaign and those advantages are nice, but they rarely come into play. They are probably worth the feat and 21 skill points your 18th level human rogue has, but maybe not. Raptorans are a classic example...

Since it says new target and not new location, it does not require a command to follow the last creature it was attacking, rather, that's the default behavior. Spiritual Weapon attacks Goblin A. Goblin A dies. Cleric must spend a move action to direct the weapon to Goblin B. Goblin B runs...

Complete Adventurer also has a nice list of new poisons as well as rules to make them with Craft (Poisonmaking)... The ninja in my current campaign is enjoying that...

If you have a PC that uses the same ability over and over, design different encounters. If you're so set in your ways that your encounters will all fall to the same tactic, then there's not much you can complain about is there? If the warlock charms every NPC, how long will it take for them to...

Huh, you're right... Sorry for the misleading information.

There are not that many abilities at a warlock's disposal. It's not unreasonable at all for a DM to consider their impact on adventures s/he creates. I have to disagree. I am confident that I can let my players have fun within the rules for their classes and I will have a solution on the spot on...

ROFL, good point!

Each time a character levels they need 1000xp times their current level to advance. So a first level character needs (1*1000=1000). A second level character needs (2*1000=2000, total of 3000). A third level character needs (3*1000=3000, total of 6000). It keeps going that way ad infinitum. Of...

Nope. That's like saying I want to burn something immune to fire. If they're immune to it, they're immune to it.

Nope.

I'll agree with you about the "Degenerate Decks" in collectible card games, but I don't see a problem with any of the invocations you mentioned unless the DM is totally unprepared/inexperienced. That sounds like a fun and flavorful class that uses non-traditional solutions to the typical...

Well, I am not planning on forcing the party to take on templates, but everyone in town that they've met has told them not to go into this place and they're going anyway. If they choose to fight monsters that can curse/template them, than it's exactly that--their choice.

Again, I appreciate the suggestion, but I don't want to change the rules for the sake of changing them--I'm really looking for valid ways to do this.
