Keep in mind... So moving the opening if it is anchored on an object seems to fall in line with a Cantrip ability. Hope this helps, William Holder

I know there is a Monsterous Spider in MM1 under Vermin... I think Dire only applies to animals but IDNHTBIFOM. William Holder

Everyone has a character that has had a really great story... though how many really great moments did you have DMing? Where something you prepared just clicked or flying by the seat of your pants you wove this amazing adventure... I know that is the goal of all DM's but sometimes we may even...

Let's see I have DM'ed sessions that lasted for 12 hours... and yes those took a lot out of me... I don't think I could do that again... now a days we take a break every 3-4 hours depending on what is going on in the story. William Holder

Only applies to criminal cases in the good ol' US of A... civil cases are structured very differently. William Holder

I agree Transform is a bit wonky... then again so are all the polymorph spells in core. If you don't mind sharing your thoughts... I can get it playtested :). I can definitely see a Create (Nature) spell to make new clothing for your new form to wear... however Transform (Nature) only has the...

Well, Transform (Nature) changes an energy type to a physical... so I could see you using that to change clothing appearance by transforming the light around you into an outfit over your original garb... however, if you are going to change your appearance I think it would be in the realm of...

So basically you Gestalt the modifiers then add them to the unified progression chart. Seems easy enough... William Holder

By no means the authority here... this is my opinion. 3) My understanding is you would not need the Transform (Nature)... unless your character is naked and you are changing "light" into clothing. Transform (Creature) alters clothing being worn as well. Though the extent of this change is...

Why not a ranged weapon specialist? Someone who can lay down enough suppression fire to make the enemies go prone? or better yet hit the ground in the center of a group of baddies with a large tanglefoot bag. Why would you need magic to accomplish this? William Holder

You sir have just been siged. William Holder

2.1) Anything you can imagine can be created using Elements of Magic... though sometimes not in the ways we first envision them. For example, if you wanted to create a living apple tree like that in the Wizard of Oz you could a) Transform a tree into an Apple Treant for a short while. b) Summon...

I'll try to lend a hand here... 1) Correct. A level 1 Mage can only cast simple spells. However there is either a tradition or some other feat that allows a Mage to cast as if his Caster level were 2 levels higher. 2) Depends on what you are trying to create. For instance, if you want a...

We do roll for hitpoints however if you get less than half the die value then you instead get half. Paladin rolls a 3 on his d10 instead gets 5... makes for survivability without maxing out every level. On a side note, I must be one of the luckiest DM's in history. If a player wanted to leave...

So far the general consensus is this is a good change. It allows for each character to have a skill focus different from everyone else. See... that's how I feel about it... but when I proposed this very change, several months ago in a 3.x homebrew, it was met with a lukewarm response at best...

When I began gaming... my DM at the time told our group that a well balanced party consisted of a Priest, a Thief, a Warrior, and a Wizard. In 3.x we were introduced to the generic classes Expert, Spellcaster, & Warrior... ( Priest and Wizard were combined but otherwise very similar ). Now in...

Lol, like Spiritual Weapon? I stand by Evoke (Metal) ;). William Holder

Fair enough. What got me thinking on this line of thought was take away the mechanical differences between DragonLance and Greyhawk... shake up the pantheon and the average player wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I know there are no Draconians in Greyhawk or Steel Dragons in...

The only thing I need to ask about settings is why? Instead of rereleasing settings maybe just release Places of Note... if the mechanics are solid and don't need to be changed from setting to setting... then there is no reason all of the things that made these settings great couldn't exist in...

That is an awesome speculation... I know I would buy it... though I could see the Barbarian be a Primal Striker... no armor to speak of and massive single target damage due to rage... and I could see the shapshifting Druid/Shaman be the Primal Defender... shifting into a Dire Bear gaining a huge...
